Gaming History 101

This week we’re late but it’s episode 100 so who cares, right? Trees and Fred discuss what they’ve been up to (including why this ep wasn’t on time). On the gaming front Trees continues to grind away at Car Mechanic Simulator, nearly wraps Mass Effect, and toys around with two of the “99” Switch games (Tetris 99 and Pac-Man 99). Fred has soft modded his Wii U, wrapped up Spyro 2, and gone all retro with Jay & Silent Bob Mall Brawl, along with some initial impressions of Cyberpunk 2077.

This week Trees is done with cheerleading while Fred works a lot either with his job or with snow. On the gaming front Trees is back to his usual with CMS 2021, Splatoon 2, and 4 Kings Casino, but he also tries out Beseige and Craftopia on Game Pass before returning to the original Mass Effect. Fred is bargain shopping for random games and it’s an all DLC week with Watch Dogs 2‘s season pass and Final Fantasy VII Remake: INTERmission.

This week we have snow storms, Mountain Dew going “hard”, and plenty of tv show talk. On the gaming front Trees is still rocking Loop Hero and Minecraft Dungeons, but he also dove into Wreckfest. The highlight of his week, however, was re-living the Playstation Home days in Four Kings Casino, albeit now on Xbox. There’s a slight side tangent about the recent acquisitions before Fred wraps the show with Watch Dogs 2.

Closing Song: I Love Video Games by Lil B

This week is about the finer things: good food, good movies, and of course good music. On the gaming front Trees has been getting back into Trials Evolution, Zuma’s Revenge, and delving into Loop Hero. Fred continues to work through Spyro 2, tried out Rainbow Six Extraction, and is having a low key blast returning to Watch Dogs 2.

This week there’s a big news story that needs to be tackled before discussing anything on the episode. On the gaming front Trees is enjoying more gaming with his son while in a bit of a gaming rut, but he managed to play Splatoon 2, Super Smash Bros Ultimate, and Burnout Paradise. Fred wrapped up Guardians of the Galaxy, continued with Spyro 2, struggled through the opening of Danganronpa, and stayed up too late with Bugsnax.

This week Trees continues to delve into crypto, but there’s also discussion about Spider-man: No Way Home.  ***Mild Spoiler Warning: From 17:00-32:00 there’s high level concept discussion of the film, but nothing too specific.***  Fred discusses his trip to the mountains and a new family member.  On the gaming front Trees is enjoying Car Mechanic Simulator and watching his son play Totally Reliable Delivery Service.  Additionally he’s playing some more competitive titles with his son such as Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Splatoon 2, and Star Wars: Battlefront 2.  Fred continues to enjoy Guardians of the Galaxy, discusses some pick-ups, and wraps it all up with Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage.

This week Fred and Trees discuss the holidays, gaming, and vacations.

Trees took the week off to be with his family and ring in the New Year, so Fred teamed up with Chase (Learned From Gaming) to review 2021. There’s talk of new displays, plenty of games, audience questions/comments, and even the modern state of retro.
