It's the week of November 11 and we've got games to discuss! We talk more Red Dead, Into the Breach, The Quiet Man, and Diablo III on Switch. If that's not enough we give you the scoop on all the reveals at Blizzcon and X018 with just enough time left over to talk about how exhausted we both are.

Happy Halloween or Day of the Dead, I suppose. After a brief hiatus we return to talk Red Dead 2, Tiny Barbarian, more on Megaman X, and Castlevania on Netflix. Don't let the title mislead you, we've all but forgotten it's Halloween.

It's the week of August 26, 2018. We talk about the history of Wario, games that rubbed us the wrong way on a first play, and the latest in news. Eric is playing Mercenary Kings and I'm revisiting Shenmue, it's been a weird week.
Aug 27, 2018•1 hr 31 min
It's been one hell of a two week span. We talk new Smash characters, Wario Ware, The Messenger, Dead Cells, and the life and death of one green clad Italian plumber. Drop on in for another Co-operative Play session.

Another two weeks has come and gone so we recap our gaming habits for the week. Everything from Octopath Traveler to some good old Donkey Kong. We discuss Dead Space 4, a game that will never exist, and end things with talk of those special games we can always come back to. • All music is the original work of Ed Baquet: https://soundcloud.com/emfb-music-1

E3 is over and there's a whole lot to talk about. Microsoft steals the show with a rather lackluster showing from EA. Nintendo dedicates 20 minutes to Smash and surprises like Devil May Cry and Resident Evil 2 remake pull our attention. Apologies for the lackluster audio, new mics are on the way!
Jun 21, 2018•1 hr 28 min
It's almost E3! The biggest show for video games, it's also our very first episode so we've got a lot to cover. We talk about some Castlevania successors, Detroit: Become Human and our expectations and hopes for this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo. News is leaking like a sinking ship this week so I'm sure we already sound like idiots!
