Lock in, D-Pads! This week we're venturing out into the wasteland of Prime Video to salvage what we can from arguably the most talked about TV Show out there at the moment: It's Fallout on Prime! Conveniently, one of us is a lifelong fan of the gaming franchise Fallout, while the other has only admired it from afar. We aim to sit down to discuss ho…

Ante up, D-Pads! This week we can't resist the call of what might be the hottest game on the market right now: Balatro! We've taken some time to learn the ropes and really get a sense of what this Poker Inspired Deck Building Roguelike is all about. Is Balatro really as great as everyone says? Or is it just a band-aid as we wait for Slay the Spire …

It's time for an add-on to our episode about add-ons, D-Pads! This week we're wrapping up our look at some of the most iconic gaming peripherals of all time. Sure, no one should set foot on a Tony Hawk Ride skateboard, but that doesn't mean we should toss out every hunk of plastic we've hooked up to our consoles. From the Nintendo Zapper and the Pl…

Do the Mario, D-Pads! This week we took a trip back to the Mushroom Kingdom to check out one of the most infamous Super Mario properties of all time: The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! It only aired for one season and featured the likes of "Captain" Lou Albano as Mario and Danny Wells as Luigi, but in that short time it amassed a cult following and …

May your blades chip and shatter, D-Pads! This week we ride the hype train all the way to Arrakis as we look back at the game that laid the groundwork for all Real Time Strategy games to come: Dune 2 Battle for Arrakis! It's also known as Dune 2: The Building of a Dynasty, but we're here to find out if it's still just as revolutionary as the day it…

Turn off those consoles, D-Pads. We've been spending too long talking about "the best," and "our favourites." It's about time we grind things to a halt and talk about our least favourite video games of all time. Are these the worst video games of all time? Not necessarily. In fact: more often than not, not at all! Instead, these are the games which…

You asked, and we watched: this week we finally take a look at the heavily requested film adaptation of Double Dragon (1994) featuring the likes of Scott Wolf, Robert Patrick, and...

Call your dads, D-Pads! It's time to boot up that old grey PC in your basement, click on over to Start - Program Files - Games, and see what you've got! If you were lucky enough to be born 30 or so years ago, you'll know what this is all about, and you'll likely have some opinions on what were some of the best Windows Based and Microsoft Entertainm…

Time for a pit-stop, D-Pads! As gamers we're still early enough into the lifecycle of our favourite medium to have been blessed with more fantastic years than bad ones. After the gaming crash of the 1980s, it looked like the sky was the limit! That is, until 1995. While no year is without a few stand-out games, some years brought more misery than e…

Time to dust off that Blockbuster card, D-Pads! This week we sit down side by side on a sofa built for two to discuss a style of gaming which just doesn't seem to exist anymore. While the introduction of online multiplayer games felt promising, the unforeseen casualty was the tried and true practice of couch co-op! We wanted to relive some of our b…

It's our 300th Episode, D-Pads! When we first started this podcast roughly 6 years ago, the world had no idea what it was in for: a few weeks of poorly produced banter before the feed went silent? A forgotten corner of the internet where two friends catch one another up about their gaming habits? Mikey's ultimate manifesto? Regardless, we've made i…

Kick, Push, D-Pads! This week we strap on the elbow pads, slip into the knee pads, throw on a helmet, and take to the streets!

This week we party like it's 1999! All this talk about how great 2023 was for gaming stirred our ongoing debate over which years have been the best in gaming history. So far on the show we've done deep dives into 1996, 1997, 2001, and 2007, but somehow we missed one of the most fruitful years of all time: 1999! From Silent Hill and Legacy of Kain, …

Happy New Year, D-Pads! This week we look forward to some of the year's biggest and most interesting releases. 2023 was an absolute powerhouse, but is it even possible to consider that 2024 might have just as much to offer? From The Plucky Squire, to Hades 2, to Star Wars: Outlaws, there are still plenty of games to keep us geared up for what's in …

Well, D-Pads, another year has come and gone, and now we find ourselves looking back on one of the greatest years in not just GAMING history, but TV and Movies as well. Was it the delays of our COVID years pushing everything to the same release window, or just dumb luck? We don't know... but what we DO know is that there were too many great release…

No spoilers, but by this measure Mikey isn't a great human being. But…

There are some games you want to forget ALL about... ...but maybe not for the reason you're thinking. This week we think back to some games which we'd love to play again for the very first time. Whether it's the unforgettable story reveal of Bioshock, the confounding puzzles of Portal, or the childhood whimsy a game like Super Mario 64, we reminisc…
