"Way of the Housebands" segeus into that Ask Iwata book that segues into PacMan99 that segues into one of the more explosive arguments on hardware exclusitvity to be ever had on the show: Oculus' Quest 2-exclusive Resident Evil 4

Actually good Pokemon clones exist! Valheim is nauseating and awe-inspiring in VR! Somehow this segues into that time Sony sacrificed a goat to celebrate the launch of God of War 2!

Matt & Liam think they found their game of the year from it Takes Two. George got a coronavirus vaccine and shares some stealth game news, including what the heck LOTR: Gollum is. Matt discovers Beat Saber, Liam discovers Fantasian.

Liam joins the Republic of Gamers, Matt get sucked into romantic web comics, and George discovers Buddhism. It was a weird weekend, you guys.

Ver heill! Come! Join us around the fire for comfy tales of the memorable deeds of our people, both heroic and domestic. While playing Valheim we talk about what it's like reading through actual Viking sagas, what we think of Loop Hero, and what the hell a "non-fungible token" is. Join the Patreon Discord for access to our Valheim server!

Matt's catching up on the greatest games of all time, Liam's looping and hero around in circles, and George watches an anime where ancient religious prophets grapple with the modern world.

We actually did a lot more just relate to Aggretsuko in this one. Matt & Liam talk Valheim and Wandavision, before we move on to those weird Pokemon trailers and the Elden leaks.

Lots of Guilty Gear talk before everyone s***s on George for discovering hyperpop. Nintendo recovers from their under-performing hardware gen, Rareware reboots Dinosaur Planet, and coalition forces invade Iraq.

With just the two of us on this week, Liam and I shared impressions of Teardown and Nebuchadnezzar, respectively, before playing through an absolutely legendary new one-off segment

There are no more original ideas! Hear about how within the same two-week span, there were not one, not two, not there, but FOUR different cases of game industry entities caught up in the legal issues of accidental plagiarism and problematic patents.

Okay, we gotta settle this matter at some point in human history. What do you do while organizing games alphabetically and you come across a bunch of names that begin with "The?"

I would love to write a short description of this episode but can't because my wife and kids won't stop harassing me because we three agreed to dump all our life savings into GameStop stock AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

It's over two hours of The The Dad awards! Hear us and our community of fans discuss our favorite games this year, as we take listener call-ins and judge their submissions to a totally-legit photography contest.

A real busy episode! Some thoughts are shared on Meat Boy Forever, Code Vein and Monster Train. Matt played something called 古剑奇谭三(Gujian3.) Covid relief includes some new streaming rules, and Raw Fury dishes out a dose of legalese.

Spoiler alert! We all talk about Mandalorian season 2. George got into the Back 4 Blood alpha, Matt's deep into Dragon Quest, and then we all get flabbergasted at how much trouble CDPR is in.

Matt, who completed Cyberpunk, shares impressions with Liam who's a good chunk through. It's not something that can uhh, be summed up politely.

Just in case you haven't had your fill of the Internet yet, here's 3 grown men talking about Animaniacs, Disney and Pokemon cards. Matt played through Haven, Liam's playing through Dragon Quest XI, and we all get kinda mushy for the current-gen controllers.

Nintendo evokes some 2013 energy and shuts down a melee tournament. The Geoffies now have nominees. Yakuza gets political, and poo particle evasion tactics are intensely discussed.

Tales of sadness, fatness and skateness abound on this week's episode. We talk about the Pepe the Frog documentary, that Gamestop TikTok dance contest where you can win an extra Black Friday shift, a hostage crisis hoax, and Liam's experiences with the next-gen Xbox.

Judgement Day has finally come and gone, next-gen is now current-gen, and Sega-Sammy is backing out of ownership of their arcades in Japan.

George is out this week, which didn't stop Liam and Matt from veering things back to video games again. Cute Kirby relative Part-Time UFO is showcased next to cute RPG wholesome-em-up Ikenfell. Next gen is looming on the horizon, and *one* of us has already pre-ordered...

Creepy political b******t, Greek mythology, Japanese travel, and weird wholesome indie games. It's a good ol' classic Dad n' Sons!

This week, we had a super good guest join us for a super great discussion on super glib topics: like Greek mythology, reviewing games for GameSpot, questioning Kojima's influence, and the costs of San Francisco office space. We've got 45 minutes of rounding up indie & AAA releases, then it's all @kasavin for Supergiant Games:

This week on the Dadcast: @EyePatchWolf joins us to talk about Irish anti-maskers and his fantasies involving the sexy dragon from Ring Fit. I rave and gush while in the midst of the honeymoon phase of SW Squadrons, and @LiamBME doesn't know what NexusMods is
