We're back and we're talking about several video games! We talk about some of our diverging draws in the Blue Prince, go long on South of Midnight (an early nominee for game music of the year), talk about the challenges in front of Marathon, and touch a little bit on everybody's favorite video game and tech topic: tariffs. This week's music: Allie X - Black Eye
Well we expected to talk about the Switch 2 and how interesting it was and what we like about it, but it's hard not to get sidetracked by how much of a debacle the tariff situation could kick off for Nintendo's new console and the video game market as a whole. But we still manage to talk about the system, why it feels better than any Switch before it, Donkey Kong Bananza, Tears of the Kingdom Enhanced, Metroid Prime 4, and more, plus South of Midnight too. This week's music: Coheed and Cambria -...
This week brought 2025's first big sleeper hit on Steam with Schedule 1, but that's not all, with The First Berseker and Atomfall also attempting to dislodge us from Assassin's Creed Shadows. This week's music: Killswitch Engage - I Believe (Alternate Edit)

We're here and talking about video games because what else are we supposed to do, I guess?

This week's music: Knocked Loose - Slaughterhouse 2 (feat. Chris Motionless)
The onslaught of games is chanting in the distance, and we've got a look ahead with some talk about Assassin's Creed Shadows.

This week's music: Beth Gibbons - Floating on a moment

It's a new year and we're back, whether we want to be or not, and we're talking ... well, backlogs, honestly, with Farming Simulator 25, The Cabin Factory, the Dead Space remake, final impressions of Indiana Jones and more, including your emails about TVs and PC hardware and more. This week's music: Poppy - the cost of giving up
The year is just about over, the stockings have been emptied, the presents have been opened (the first candle has been lit), and we're here with our annual gift to you: an extended catalog of some of our favorite video game music of 2024. Make sure to use the bathroom now, because it's a long one, and we're NOT pulling over until we get to the end. Happy holidays! And if you feel so inclined, you can tip your editor (me, Arthur) at ko-fi.com/aegies. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (Gareth Coker...

This week's music: Banks - Beggin for Thread (Unplugged)
This week we're surprised that 1) Indiana Jones: The Great Circle is great, and 2) that other people agree, plus we talk about the likely juggernaut of Marvel Rivals, the questionable scrutability of Caves of Qud, how to install a bunch of programs at once on a new windows install, the difference between LG's C4 and G4 tvs, and plenty more.
