PSP #330: The Best (and Worst) Games of 2016!...According to Me, not Jim

Today's episode is the FINAL EPISODE...of 2016, and it's all about Marc's favorite (and not-so-favorite) games of the year, as well as a few indies they finally got around to playing: Inside and Firewatch, both of which are quite good; though, if you want to play Firewatch and own multiple platforms, avoid the Xbox One version for the time being; it's not unplayable, but it's a wee bit choppy and rough around the edges. Anyway, here's to 2016, a year of many highs and lows; hopefully, 2017 will see a steady downpour of highs and a permanent drought of lows--one can only hope, eh. Cheers and enjoy the show (and the rest of the year)!

PSP #329: The Best (and Worst) Anime of 2016!

Today's episode is all about the best (and worst) anime of 2016, at least as far as Marc is concerned. Expect some sweetness, lightning, and a whole lot of ice 'cause it's oh so nice, nice enough to last you 91 days while you're flying around with your friendly neighborhood witch on your way to enjoy a bit of rakugo, where, during the show, you run into this calligrapher you met a few years ago who, not so unexpectedly, you ended up really liking, but now, quite unexpectedly, couldn't help but let you down...confused? Well, listen to the show and it'll all (still not) make sense. Cheers and enjoy the show!

PSP #328: A Random Update and a Handful of Nonsense

Today's episode is short and full of so much nonsense that it'll give you cavities if you find nonsense to be sweet... Dude, you got a tattoo. Sweet! What's mine say? Dude. What about mine? Sweet! What's mine say? Duuuude... Hurray for terrible references, eh. Anyway, this episode exists only to update y'all about a few things that happened this past week--like the unexpected and untimely death of my main PC--and to give y'all an idea of what to expect in the next few weeks--best and worst games/anime of the year. Yep. Cheers and enjoy the show!

PSP #327: Why Yuri!!! on Ice Might Just Be the Best Anime of 2016

Marc takes today's entire episode to talk about Yuri!!! on Ice and why it's not only the best anime of the fall 2016 season, but might just be the best anime of the entire year--one can't truly say such a definitive statement until the season is actually over, thus the need for "might." Anyway, if you want to hear someone gush over an anime about ice skating and so much more, today's episode was made for you and me (and he) (and she) (and we) (and everybod...eeee)! Cheers and enjoy the show!

PSP #326: Beholder, Dead Rising 4, Watch Dogs 2, and Maybe Some More Too

Today's show starts off with Marc talking about another classic movie they just watched and didn't like 'cause Marc is Marc and Marc is Marc--if you say that really fast you'll surely be left wondering where the funky bunch is... After that, Marc talks about a handful of games, including a little indie about spying on your tenants called Beholder, and then some game about hacking and another one about killing zombies, both of which include the option to take selfies 'cause selfies are hip and cool, right? Cheers and enjoy the show!

PSP #325: Playing ReCore While Giving DirecTV Now a Tryout

Marc starts off today's episode by making sure everyone knows (and remembers) that The Dwarves is still a technical mess on Xbox One, even after the day-one patch, and then happily moves onto a game they've been enjoying more than they expected to: ReCore. After that, Marc gives their first impressions of DirecTV Now, DirecTV's new streaming alternative to cable and satellite TV, and then hip hip hoorays for the (finally!) release of FunimationNow on AppleTV. Cheers and enjoy the show!

PSP #324: Fall Anime Midpoint Recap with a Side of The Dwarves

In today's episode, Marc talks about the fall anime they're still watching now that the season is over halfway through, including Drifters, Girlish Number, and what is undeniably the best series of the season: Yuri!!! on Ice. And then, after anime-ing all over the place, Marc talks about The Dwarves, a new game that does a lot of good, but does some important things not-so-well, making it impossible to recommend in its current state*, at least on consoles, specifically Xbox One. Cheers and enjoy the show!

PSP #323: Darksiders Warmastered Edition; This is How You Remaster a Game

In today's episode, Marc starts off with a bad joke--though, calling it a joke is offensive to all jokes, good and bad--before gushing all over the remaster of Darksiders, except its name, Darksiders Warmastered Edition, which they hate. After that, they talk a wee bit about another old game (that was kind of remastered), Dead Rising, and how they're excited about a friend finally joining the Xbox One family. Cheers and enjoy the show!

PSP #322: Destroying All Humans!...Again, While Doin' a Bit of Dungeoneering on the Side

In today's episode, Marc talks about returning to the first Destroy All Humans! game now that it's joined the growing list of PS2 games on PS4, trophies and all that jazz included--spoiler: it holds up surprisingly well. After that, Marc reviews the indie game, Guild of Dungeoneering, along with both DLC packs: "Pirate's Cove" and "Ice Cream Headaches." Anyway, that's it and that's all, folks. Cheers and enjoy the show!

PSP #321: Is Jesse Eisenberg Annoying, or Does He Just Play Annoying Characters?

In today's episode, Marc asks the tough question that no one else is asking (and no one else cares about): Is Jesse Eisenberg annoying, or does he just play annoying characters? I know what y'all are thinking..."Why the hell did you record an entire episode all about how annoying Jesse Eisenberg is or isn't?!" The answer is so simple and so obvious it's ridiculous: ...I don't know. Anyway, there's a bit of a buzz throughout the episode and I do apologize for that, but, in spite of that, I hope y'all enjoy today's show and enjoy the rest of your weekend too. Cheers!
