Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen Hey Folks! It is that time again, time for our yearly Games of the Year show.

This week we dive into the second half of the show covering the final eleven games. These are games that were important to us this year and may or may not have actually been released this calendar year. A lot of them were, but I just wanted to set the...

info_outlineThis week we record our 190th episode and for whatever reason each time we tick off a 10th episode it seems like a big deal. Last week during the bustle of getting ready for a show I completely missed a topic so we are leading off with that. Thalen talks a bit about the early access deck building game Slay the Spire. From there we talk a bit about our continued addiction to Monster Hunter World in spite of its flaws on the group interaction side. We talk a bit about our new D&D 5th Edition Campaign set in a custom game world of Tam’s design. Kodra talks a bit about bouncing off of Warframe and that leads to a discussion about games and accessibility. Tam and Ash describe Night in the Woods… and it begins to sound an awful lot like Bel’s experiences with his own home town. From there we attempt to close out the show but get into another discussion about Monster Hunter World before actually succeeding.
