Suitably, this one is spicy. Loads of games we got to play outside of the podcast and some gems there. Also a big disagreement between the two critters, but they let it slide. You will have to wait a bit longer before they start throwing punches.

- Easy Delivery Co
- Resident Evil
- Onimusha: Warlords
- Consume Me
- Death Stranding 2

1h 23m - Sep 21, 2026 - 33 - Hero Resources Simulator
Arachnodude! Hyperman! Superfastboy! Mangnet! All your favourite superheroes have come and gone and left their mark. But can this indie game phenomenon blow these all out of the water? And no, I am not talking about Underwater Pal.
I am talking about the Z team. A lovable(?) team of misfits out to solve crimes and violate HR regulations every opportunity they get.
But it is also "mature", it has ding dongs and boobz. This one is for big boys. Step away, kids. This is man stuff.
Spoiler warning at some point, we give plenty of heads up in the audio. We're talking about "Dispatch", if that wasn't obvious.

1h 26m - Sep 7, 2026 - 32 - The Polygonal Dilemma
DO POLYGONS ART MAKETH OR DOES TASTE THE ARTSTH BE MADETH? THAT IS THE QUESTION!
Gaemspear - 1771
As old philosophers always speculated, what is a tasteful visual? Does hyper-realism make a game beautiful? Can a pixel game look better than a """""AAA"""" game?
The crits discuss what they find aesthetically pleasing with no background or training, so it is all just speculation you may or may not find interesting. We also talk about the Witcher 3... again!

55m - Aug 24, 2026 - 31 - GOATed: Dog's Life
We didn't choose the Dog's Life. It chose us! And we love it.
It is potentially Autarr's caca-poopoo humour source. It is... something related to Vole in looser terms. It is something that shaped us. For better or worse.
But the question is, is it good? What does the Dog's Life mean? Is it just about pee? Or is there something beneath the surface of the peepee pool?
Goat fact: Did you know? Goat urine is a great home remedy for myalgia, arthritis, gout and stress. But how does one source it, you say? Well, make sure to find a wild goat that is used to people. Approach it on all fours, and offer him/her a Special Edition Pikachu Nintendo 64 console with your mouth. It will then try to urinate on it. This is your chance! Take out your vessel of choice and catch as much as you can!
Store in the fridge in a air tight container and consume within 3 days.
Do not use on Mondays. Not suitable for children older than 2 months.

54m - Aug 10, 2026 - 30 - Games Are Over
Oil wars, economic inequality, a society in shambles, and our future uncertain. But we need to talk about the most important pressing issue in the world. What's up with the videogames industry?!
No more discs? Xbox falling apart? No Heavy Rain remake???????
"What's the deal with videogames?", as an unnamed disgraced comedian would say.
We know what the deal is. THEY'RE OVER, MAN! OVER!

1h 19m - Jul 13, 2026 - 28 - GOATed: Silent Hill 2
This is a story about a man named James. James liked holes. If there was a hole, James wanted to go in it or stick his hand in it. Dirty holes, dark holes, big holes, small holes... No hole was safe from James's will to go in it. One day, James went in a rusty hole. The rusty hole was full of magical surprises, but also terrors unseen. James, after going in the hole, had to square himself with his self.
The moral of the story is, you can't trust the system, man!
Oh... this episode is about Silent hill 2. It's a good game, you know.

WOWEE! Weren't those some darn tootin' fine trailers, pardner? Sure they were! Now listen to 'em scallywags say what trailers stroke their fancy the mostest and the leastest. And do make sure that you check that list of highlighted games below. Now Imma go tend to mah cattle. Yeehaw!
See, that's how it feels when people use stereotypical Greek slang and say "opa" a bunch.
If you fancy checking out any of the games we mentioned and dozens more, here is a list! It's all in a random order, so, by all means, read too much into it and get upset about it for 2 minutes.

1h 16m - Jun 15, 2026 - 26 - Our GOATs part 2
It's time! Our top 30 games! Come, check them out, disagree with us, send us hate mail! Or just listen like a decent audience member and be like "cool, that's an opinion".
Goat fun fact: Male goats actually evolved to have 6 horns, however, the buffalo committee got jealous and felt emasculated, so they used Article 6.66 to force them to remove four of them from their genetic lineage, resulting in what we now know as the common male goat physiology.

1h 55m - Jun 1, 2026 - 25 - Our GOATs part 1
On a directional twist for the podcast, and a decision that is bound to change the course of our podcast career, and, dare we say, the world, the mammals choose their goats. And I do not mean the animal. Or CM Punk. I mean their Greatest Of All Time. Games that is. Video games.
60 in total, a combined list of both their goats with some honourable mentions just for the hell of it.
Goat fun fact: Goats are one of the few creatures known to survive space for up to 30 minutes. That is due to their evolved gallbladder which allows them to regulate sub-neutronic nutrients necessary for anaerobic metabolism.

1h 22m - Apr 6, 2026 - 23 - Don't You Dare Go Solo
So, Vole once went online in one of them video games, tried to use a gun, and a 12 year old called him a poopoo head. Since then, he vowed to never play games online again. Or, like, for a bit. Maybe I was not even talking about Vole... A kid once shouted at me. I did not like it. I don't like people. Lemme play my games alone!
The episode is about playing games online, by the way. Thanks.
23rd on the 23rd. Nice!

Ah, it's been a long time, hasn't it? Vole has been busy solving the Riemann Hypothesis, Autarr has had his hands full conquering a small country in the Pacific. How could we find any time to just chat and catch up? Alongside condiments, we also go over what we've been playing the last few months and, for once, we embrace the tangents. Hot diggedy dawg, will this episode be sauced up and ready for your earhole pleasure?!
For legal purposes we do not recommend you shove hot dogs in your ears.

What if in the future all plants were extinct, and there were artificial human beings called duplicants that came from a colony in Venus? And the scissor sprinters were coppers running after them? With scissors!!!
You get Blade Runner...I mean Scissor Sprinter!
Spoiler warning: We discuss Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, the two Blade Runner films and Blade Runner the game from 1997. We only fully spoil the first film, the rest of it is relatively spoiler safe.

1h 46m - Feb 23, 2026 - 20 - A Thesis on Topopoesis
Space is a place in which we sometimes race. With cars! That fly? With ships in the sky?
The thing is, game space has to convince you that it's a real place. So, what turns spaceness into placeness? The deformed children in Witcher 3? The location of your humble abode? Space species seeking peace speaking script pieces?
Put on your space suits and listen to this episode, as we fill this space with a lot of unverified theories.
Spoiler warning: At some point, Vole spoils No Man's Sky. Like, the whole thing, spoilt, past its due date, gone bad, man, whatever you do, don't eat it! There's a clear warning in the audio and it lasts less than a minute, and then we never speak of it again. If you care, beware!

So, uhm... How do we put this? This is about religion.
Also about a cosmic horror flooding upon a Scottish oil rig, but mostly about religion. And dogs.
Did we ever mention we're Greek?
Games discussed:

Spoiler warnings:
- Very light to no spoilers for Still Wakes the Deep.
- Indika discussion is very light in spoilers (setting, first 20-30 minutes events, and game themes), until it isn't. We give a clear warning before we start talking pure spoilers, for anyone who wants to stop listening there.
Trigger warning: Mentions of sexual assault in the discussion of Indika.

Yes, we played Anthem. Through the story at least. And we didn't just play it, we streamed it; and now we are even bringing you an episode on it. Plus, I (Autarr) had to read a bunch for this one and we did a farewell stream on it? This game is officially our biggest project so far. Why? Because life is meaningless. Enjoy.

After 17.4 centuries, Vole finally completed this game, so Autarr gets to be all "Whee" to talk about it.
Unsurprisingly, we are here to mostly praise a game that so many before us have done, and for good reason. Hopefully, we bring something new to the conversation about something that seems to have affected us both deeply.
Yes, this game is more "Whee" than "Whoo" for us!
