We’ve got Final Fantasy, Diablo, Overwatch, Horizon, Hollow Knight, Oblivion, Fallout, and… Thomas the Tank Engine…?! In the second half, Cleo joins me for our long overdue discussion of the off-the-wall rhythm game UNBEATABLE. Was the game actually beatable after all? Cleo gives us all the details (including a dose of spoilers in the last 10 minutes)! 00:00:00 - Intro 00:10:51 - News 01:02:41 - UNBEATABLE 01:28:34 - SPOILERS for UNBEATABLE The news segment was recorded on Feb 16 2026.

    • Ep. 70 - Tomodachi Life has become “Homodachi Life”

      Ep. 70 - Tomodachi Life has become “Homodachi Life”
      Feb 2 2026
      Nintendo fulfilled its promise to include same-sex relationships in Tomodachi Life, but they didn’t stop there! Just how queer is the new Nintendo wacky life-sim? We’ve got all the big gay details! Lloyd joins me for this episode in which we also discuss the first steps into our Celeste journeys, plus the news, and finally a discussion about generative AI in video games. Headlines include game developers reportedly *maybe* skipping the Game Developer Conference, a bold industry response to the Ubisoft layoffs/restructuring, and Scott Pilgrim EX has a release date. Please note that our connection was a bit weaker than usual so there is a bit of a delay between some of mine and Lloyd’s discussion. Sorry about that, True Avatars! 00:00:00 - Intro 00:04:06 - What We’ve Been Playing 00:38:18 - News (incl. Tomodachi Life) 01:15:49 - Generative AI in Video Games This episode was recorded on January 30 2026.
