There's a new awards show on the block, and it's exactly what we need. How, you might ask? On this show, the categories aren't set. We make them up, specifically to call out certain games for certain reasons. Confused yet? So are we. In any case, we give out a bunch of random video game awards to recognize some of the weird and cool stuff we saw in 2021.
Did you know that Diet Coke is not, in fact, a replacement for water? John Daly doesn't believe it, and it leads to a quick discussion of PGA 2k21. More importantly, we discuss the Animal Crossing DLC, Call of Duty Vanguard, GTA: The Trilogy: Definitive Edition, Pokemon Brilliant Pearl, and Guardians of the Galaxy. Some of them are at least good, while some are great. Meanwhile, Elden Ring looks kinda rad, Halo Infinite drops in surprisingly, and we talk Game of the Year plans.
Deathloop, Metroid Dread, and Forza Horizon 5 are three of the best games of the year, while Mario Party Superstars is a shrug emoji and Fallout 76 is still fundamentally broken despite all the updates and improvements. Meanwhile, the N64 games on Switch are not good, and Ubisoft bullies people who bail on Far Cry 6.
We discuss the cultural influence of the Xbox Mini Fridge, and like good gamers, not a one of us even bothered to watch the Suicide Squad trailer. Anyway, we talk a lot about Metroid Dread, NHL22, Back 4 Blood, and the OLED Switch.
Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Halo Infinite, WRC 10, and Disgaea 6 among other nonsense like force feedback technology, rap sheets, and pumpkin flavoured stuff that doesn't actually suck.
With Wolverine and Spider-Man 2 on the way, what else might Insomniac working on? Our money is on Charles. Meanwhile, there's a new Life is Strange game, Bus Simulator 21 is better than ever, and James gets lost in Randomness.
So many games, you're head's gonna spin. CoD Vanguard, Rider's Republic, Boyfriend Dungeon, Psychonauts 2, and Quake Remastered to name a few. Meanwhile, we discuss what the heck is up with Halo Infinite, delays, and Twitch walkouts. You dang kids and your beeps and boops, get off our lawn!
Fresh off the bench we've got new life on this podcast, and that makes this the official sports game podcast. Madden, NHL, we cover 'em both, alongside 12 Minutes, CoD Vanguard, and Axiom Verge 2. Meanwhile, we cast serious shade on Auston Matthews.
We talk about a bunch of scumbags, some cool game pass games, and most importantly discover what's potentially the best song of the year. Come have some fun in the sun with us.
Let's go people - Skyward Sword HD ain't half bad, and Aliens: Fireteam Elite actually looks promising! Meanwhile, Rhett gets way into an ancient racing legend, and we officially hire the Press X To Podcast band (it's just James).
Hey, the year's half done (what?)! Let's talk about the best stuff from the half of 2021 like Loop Hero, Resident Evil Village, and It Takes Two!
We talk about that shiny shiny Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, the FF7 Yuffie DLC, and cover the rest of E3 including the intriguing Terra Nil. Meanwhile, we long for the return of legit boxing video games.
It's E3 season, but everything's weird. Still, we found a bunch of cool things to chat about like Forza Horizon 5, Replaced, Metroid Dread, Elden Ring, and more!
Rhett finally arrives on the Citadel and thinks the ship has sailed on Mass Effect, while James reveals his feelings about Bioware in shocking fashion. Meanwhile, we noodle on Microsoft's ability to deliver the goods at E3 and look forward to an exciting June.
Show us the games, we shouted! In this episode, games we were given. Featuring Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, Resident Evil Village, Skate City, and a challenge to Xbox to blow us away with content at E3.
The boys are back in town as we discuss a bunch of random things like the number of collars James is sporting, and MLB The Show 21... on Xbox.
We're publishing on April 1st, but this podcast ain't no joke. Join us for analysis of the 8000 word Cyberpunk 2077 patch log, impressions of Monster Hunter Rise and It Takes Two, and a rousing discussion of obtuse adventure game mechanics! Also covered: how totally tubular the Ninja Turtles still are.
Outriders is totally serviceable, Rogue Heroes is shockingly good, and Maquette is a bonafide decent walking simulator. Meanwhile, we discuss the hilarity of hats under hats, the epic potential of FF7 Remake's addition of Yuffie, and how Skyward Sword HD is likely to still be terrible.
Rhett's been consumed by yet another soul eating addiction - this time it's Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos. Meanwhile, Paul cracks into Project Triangle Strategy and James' melts his face on Puss! (it's a game). Then, in honor of Zelda's 35th anniversary, we rank all 18 mainline Zelda games. You'll never guess what's at the top!
Rhett needs an intervention to stop playing Hades, Paul is surprisingly into Bugsnax, and James has seen beyond the veil into the soul of Nintendo's remake strategy. Meanwhile, an internet person looks like the Resident Evil Vampire lady, and strange Japanese slogans ought to be more prominent in western culture.
Ever upload a Podcast and forget to publish it? *cough* Yeah, me either... Anyhow, in this episode we give our sweet, spicy, and overly salty 2021 predictions, while also discussing cool games like Bowser's Fury, Hitman 3, The Medium, Disjunction, and more!

The Best Game of 2020 is decided by the COGconnected jury. Does it come down to lazy insults and/or a gnarly street fight? Usually. Yeah. Why would this year be any different?
A lot of it is super broken, but some of it's kinda good. A bit of it is even great. It's Cyberpunk 2077, one of the more confusing and difficult to describe games this year. It's disappointing to many, amazing to a few, and we talk about a lot of it here. No spoilers! Also: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light.
The fall game deluge is almost complete with Sackboy: A Big Adventure, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, and Hades on the docket. Meanwhile, James' body is ready, and Paul and James laugh at Rhett's "loss".
They're here!! It's our launch game spectacular featuring Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Astro's Playroom, AC: Valhalla, Sackboy, Dirt 5, and literally zero Xbox exclusives... because there aren't any. Also covered: how to get a next gen console by any means necessary.
As the sun sets on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, we look back on the generation that was, and highlight 20 of our favorites. Featuring: Nier Automata, Stardew Valley, Red Dead Redemption 2, and 17 more! Meanwhile, Paul has played the PlayStation 5, and can talk about one level of Astro's Playroom. Also covered: Web Dreams, and how to generate your own personal Kamehameha.
The aliens are on their way, and James knows which two things they're definitely after. Meanwhile, Rhett dunks on NHL 21 and cuts an incredible promo for a sponsor we don't actually have. Also covered: the yacht industry, and video games like Disc Room and Call of Duty: Cold War.
This week go to hell with Hades, acquire targets with Star Wars Squadrons, and become one with the Samurai in Ghost of Tsushima. Also covered: Tawna's redesign, Cyberpunk going gold, and the definitive word on what Crash's shorts are made of.
Xbox swings their mighty coin purse and buys Bethesda in a monstrous, game changing deal. Meanwhile, the PS5 price and showcase happened, and we might be getting a reimagined Metal Gear Solid. Could it involve Kojima? Maybe.
