Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 is the best game that I have played in a very, very, very long time. The gameplay is solid (which is always good) but the story, setting, soundtrack and other touches truly elevate the experience to something near transcendent. We talk about it for 2 hours!

You want 2 full hours of our thoughts about Expedition 33? Well here ya go!

wdym its been 14 years since the Ocarina of Time 3DS remake

See you next episode!! 🤭🤭🤭

Murph on every episode:

I love the Switch so dearly - but I’m basically smack dab in the middle of every possible use case. I take a backpack with me everywhere & have since I was 17. I play nearly every major Nintendo & Indie title religiously. I game in bed while my wife reads or games beside me. I travel!

This console on paper should be my favorite thing Nintendo has ever made. But it isn't. And it's not just because I like being a hater, I legitimately rarely use this thing.

What Will Be the Nintendo Switch's Legacy? - A Retrospective Cal & Murph look back on the Nintendo Switch’s lifespan as its time in the limelight comes to a close. What was good, what was bad, and most importantly, will people collect for it? youtu.be/e8e5WGPqaHU

Took a little time and reorganized my game collection. Couldn’t keep the column approach so had to change it up a little. Always love seeing how much this has filled up over the last few years

Alright we want to see your retro collections 🔫🔫
