We're trying something new with Frame Trap where we cut out a conversation from the latest episode and upload it as its own video. For the first one, we're focusing on Paper Mario: The Origami King. This format may grab additional attention that a full episode wouldn't. Let us know what you think!

Ary and the Secret of Seasons teases an interesting story and intriguing puzzle mechanics, but even in this preview build, it's clear the game needs a lot of work before its ready to release.

Four of our most heroic allies assembled last week to play the Avengers Beta and get a much clearer picture about what Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics have in store for these legendary characters. We cover everything from the combat to costumes, and speculate on what the rest of the game needs to do to succeed.

Ben Moore recently got to play four hours of Cyberpunk 2077, and he shares his thoughts on character interactions, combat, the incredible world building, and much more.
We made it to August! While the shattered E3 remnant-events are mostly gone, there are still things coming up this month that are worth celebrating and reacting to. We also have several previews lined up this week, and we’re waiting on other stuff to start before we can make announcements, so stay tuned. Personally, I’m looking forward to August being a bit slower (for me) than the first part of this summer. I have some items I need to desperately cross off my to-do list, and some things ...
2020-08-04 05:49:57 +0000 UTC View PostThis week we return back to our normal schedule with a new episode of Friend Code featuring guests Rogersbase, Stealth, and NintendoFanGirl!

The newest iteration of the time-bending series introduces a bunch of new tools and threats across hours of challenging trials. It would be a hyper-charged hit if the strange level structure wasn't constantly slowing it down.

This feels weird. We’re supposed to do this thing on Monday but I felt lousy so here we are. We’ll just have to ignore the first two days of the schedule, and I made sure to double check last week’s post where I found two additional questions to answer. After our meeting to plan for August, it’s clear that every ally has been working on back-to-back projects this summer. It seems like every time we wrap up one thing, it’s past time to start working on the next thing. I say this not ...

Morning, patrons! I hate when I have to do this, but I need to do Cup at another time this week. I woke up not feeling great (I blame our cat, and of course, Milo, for disturbing our sleep). I should be better by Stream Team this afternoon but I'm going to reschedule this week's Cup and give you a new time ASAP.
Thank you for your patience and have a great week, allies.
