The impending release of Ananta (aka the anime GTA game) compelled us to wonder how many gacha games can stay afloat at once. There's a lot of F2P games vying for our time and attention, after all. All without getting into how much maxing a character can cost... youtu.be/Xjnz5pBmwEE

We just really love to teach @reallycool.bsky.social about Pokémon

come on through, there is pain

This week we're checking in on Battlefield 6, Justin (not) playing Genshin Impact's new Roblox mode, and Nicco playing Outer Wilds without spoiling it. Also, RIP Limp Bizkit guy?

What is the hardest game to become "okay" at? Not good, not great, just...decent? We posit that it might be Rust, or MOBAs like DOTA 2. Also, what is the perfect balance of "spoiler" in a trailer? Is it possible?

What's your favorite game to play to get you in the Halloween mood?

Today we're talking about whether OPTIONAL content is actually optional...hop in and get your seats warm while we open up with some BF6 talk www.twitch.tv/crub_official

With the impending release of...Ananta...it propelled our gacha experts to wonder...how many of these games can there really be? There can only be so many gigantic, free-to-play gacha games vying for player's time and awareness, right? Listen to our EXPERT ANALYSIS.

We've played a LOT of Pokémon Legends Z-A already, so we wanted to check in and give our thoughts. What's working, what it's left us wanting, and...trying to remember what the hell happened in X and Y....

Sometimes we have to wonder, are we excited about the actual games, or are we just excited about being excited about games?

Brody is going to subject 4 other helpless Crubbites... Crubblers? Crubonians? to a new mystery bracket that came into existence when Chris made an offhand joke a year ago that he's definitely forgot about now! Live now @ www.twitch.tv/crub_official

On today's Crubcast we were inspired by years of Silksong memes to explore this question...is it more fun for most people to be excited about a game versus actually playing the game?

We gave up and spent an hour talking about microwaving video game characters youtu.be/BFxczI3q1jU

Last week Nicco started out unfamiliar with the idea that holding the jump button in a platformer could determine jump height, he finished off the session by beating the first THREE bosses of Hollow Knight, including Silksong herself How far will he get this week? Live now @ twitch.tv/crub_official

TONIGHT ON THE LIVE PODCAST Are we in gacha overload? How many of these can reasonably exist before companies are just marching them out to die? Can Justin play them all? Let's discuss www.twitch.tv/crub_official

Come watch Nicco (man who famously hates platformers and sidescrolling games) attempt to play Hollow Knight (the first one, lest we accidentally be timely and/or topical) www.twitch.tv/crub_official

Today on the Crubcast we discuss which video game characters would be the best (or worst) to stick in a microwave. From Clank to Cole McGrath to actual literal human child Nanako from Persona 4. Why? We don't fucking know.

Superman (2025) has been out for a minute, so we're moving this spoiler discussion out of our Patreon vault to everyone. Trav, Moriarty, and Nicco sat down to discuss how Superman shows us what's really important...and how two things can be equally important (be fearful). youtu.be/yFhWID54uDM

As microgenres flourish, neatly putting more and more games into subcategories, we wanted to step back and fully examine what makes a game a "Soulslike".

We're tired of being silent. We're going Live on our Podcast to complain about what really grinds our gears, in gaming and beyond. www.twitch.tv/crub_official

Epic spent 6 years and millions building Save the World. Nobody played it. Then they built Fortnite Battle Royale in 8 weeks using the scraps and accidentally created a $40 billion empire. How gaming's biggest failure became its greatest success story. youtu.be/jnd3SfllUaA
