Game Time With Manny

Annapurna had a showcase, New Pokemon Snap is getting DLC, Sony is letting you put an SSD in the PS5, and more exciting news are recapped this week. Matt and I continue to play VIDEO GAMES, and we talk about some real bangers such as Marvel Ultimate Alliance, and Death's Door. To finish we talk about my least favorite Mario Kart Game, 64!

We begin by chatting about how sick Goldlewis is going to be as the first DLC character for Guilty Gear Strive. The Playdate got a release date and Activison Blizzard continues to suck. We played a whole ton of games and discuss them all! To finish we chat a bit about Ultimate Muscle, because it's so fun.

I loved all the news this week. Valve made a handheld, and there is going to be a god damn Nickolodeon smash clone with rollback netcode! Matt has strangely been playing NEW games like Biomutant, and I am playing a ton of Monster Hunter Stories 2. We skip out on a part 3 this week, because I needed to go a bit shorter, but it will be back again next week!

A bunch of news happened this week that I really didn't care about at all. I guess the main one is that Nintendo announced the OLED Switch and everyone except me got super pissed about it. Matt continued to play Old games, but actually ended up playing a newish game. Learn about how he feels about Marvel's Avengers! To finish up we just chat about how we feel about this year in games so far and then look at our OpenCritic score predictions. (I'm losing) News - 1:20 to 37:21 What We Played - 37:22 to 1:01:08 Halfway Chat - 1:01:09 to 1:43:50 Specific Games Matt's Old Game Odyssey - 37:35 to 48:15 Marvel's Avengers - 48:16 to 1:01:08

Sony acquired some studios and Nintendo may have fixed most of the problems with Skyward Sword! Matt continues his old game odyssey and I yell about Guilty Gear Strive and Disgaea 6! To finish off Matt and I talk all about the newest entry in the Fast Saga, F9. If you don't want to be spoiled on a cinematic masterpiece make sure you steer clear! News - 2:04 to 32:47 What We Played - 32:48 to 1:14:49 F9: The Fast Saga - 1:14:50 to 2:13:40 Specific Games Matt's Old Game Odyssey - 32:48 to 53:54 Yelling about Guilty Gear Strive - 53:55 to 1:02:10 Disgaea 6 - 1:02:11 to 1:14:49

We come in hot on a Wednesday, because I'm busy the rest of the week. The news is light since it's the week after E3 (and it's Wednesday) but we still manage to make fun of Avengers a little bit. Matt continues his old game odyssey and I go absolutely HAM and discuss Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, Chicory, Backbone, Ender Lilies, and 900 demos. To finish it off we do a Square-Enix bracket and the result is surprising to no one. NOTE: It's Wednesday and I'm hungry. No timestamps this week!

After a year of being missing in action E3 makes its triumphant (?) return and Matt and I talk about it for 2 WHOLE HOURS.

E3 2021 has begun popping off, so we discuss the Summer Game Fest stream and all the other extraneous streams that happened over the past few days. Matt is continuing to play old games, and tells us a truly heartbreaking story. I on the other hand am experiencing a Summer Game Feast and I let you know about Guilty Gear Strive, Final Fantasy 7 INTERMission, and Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart. To close it out we pull a topic out of frosty, which happens to be Conker's Bad Fur Day. News - 11:03 to 50:51 What We Played - 50:52 to 1:21:06 Conker's Bad Fur Day - 1:21:07 to 1:37:50 Specific Games Matt's Old Game Odyssey - 50:52 to 1:01:10 Guilty Gear Strive - 1:01:11 to 1:05:18 FF7 INTERMission - 1:05:19 to 1:08:27 Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart - 1:08:28 to 1:21:06

I woke up from a nap to record the podcast. If you want to hear about the hottest new Sonic bling, then this is the episode for you! Matt continues to pay old games and I try a new card based rogue-lite... To finish off we reminisce about the olden days when people thought Twisted Metal was cool. News - 2:06 to 51:42 What We Played - 51:43 to 1:24:36 Twisted Metal - 1:24:37 to 1:47:49 Specific Games Matt's Old Game Odyssey - 51:43 to 1:14:52 Griftlands -1:14:53 to 1:24:36

I had to record early this week and video game companies found out and decided that all the cool news and streams would happen tomorrow! We tell you all about what will be happening tomorrow, and even find some other news! Matt continues his old game Odyssey and I let you know that Mass Effect 2 still kicks ass!

It is once again the time of the week where Matt and I talk about video games! This week we hit such news topics as Starfield rumors, and the management at IGN overstepping their boundaries in spectacular fashion. The what we've been playing section is pretty long this week. I let everyone know what's up with Mass Effect in the Legendary Collection and Matt continues his old game odyssey. Turns out I was right about MGS 4... To finish off we do a good old fashioned top ten list of our favorite Pokémon related games!

We chat about what SONY is up to before transitioning to the newest updates about the Summer Games Mess. We do talk about a bunch of games, but I think it's best to leave most of them as a surprise. Especially my reaction to them. This is why Resident Evil Village will be the only specific game timestamp. To finish Matt and I talk about what has been happening at Giant Bomb and how much the site means to us. Spoiler, it's a lot. News - 9:40 to 39:32 What We Played - 39:33 to 1:03:37 Giant Bomb - 1:03:38 to 2:12:35 Specific Games Resident Evil Village - 55:00 to 1:03:37

This week we find out that Matt may have actually willed Sunset Overdrive 2 in existence and that there is a sequel to Judgement!

We have huge news stories this week such as Toys for Bob being relegated to COD hell and Stadia adding a search bar. We've been playing a lot of video games, and we chat about them! To finish we take a look at our video game review predictions and find out we've been doing quite well!

This week the gods smiled down at me and gave me all the news I deserve. Did you see the Tales of Arise trailer, or hear me yelling about the Great Ace Attorney? If you did, get ready to listen to it all over again! Matt and I finished up It Takes Two and I've been thoroughly enjoying Disco Elysium! To finish I pick Spelunky out of Frosty and monologue about how much I love it for a bit!

There's one news item that isn't even cool and then we chat a bit about Jeff Grubb's Summer Games Mess. I played some Disco Elysium and Matt hit random on Gamepass again. Everything finishes quickly, but the third part takes a bit as we pit Ubisoft games against each other in a hot new bracket. News - 00:40 to 16:20 What We Played - 16:21 to 32:18 Ubisoft Bracket - 32:27 to 1:32:18 Specific Games Disco Elysium - 16:22 to 22:19 Dishonored - 23:24 to 26:47 Jedi Fallen Order - 26:48 to 32:18

Once again the news is light, but we spend a lot of time talking about the possibility of The Last of Us releasing again on the PS5. WHY!? Strangely enough we've been playing a buttload of stuff, so we chat about that before moving on to reminisce about the Batman Arkham games. News - 00:57 to 21:22 What We Played - 21:23 to 53:27 Batman Arkham Franchise - 53:28 to 1:17:51 Specific Games Kaze and the Wild Masks - 21:27 to 24:55 Outriders - 25:56 to 26:49 Horizon Zero Dawn - 26:50 to 27:22 It Takes Two - 27:23 to 32:14 Monster Hunter Rise - 32:15 to 35:50 Trails of Cold Steel 3 - 35:51 to 39:45 Cozy Grove - 39:46 to 49:20

The news decided to take a break this week, so we quickly cover the nothing that happened before chatting about such hot titles as Kaze and the Wild Masks and Monster Hunter Rise. To finish we talk about Super Mario 3D Land/World. News - 5:32 to 24:57 What We Played - 24:58 to 1:00:25 Super Mario 3D Land/World - 1:01:22 to 1:16:29 Specific Games It Takes Two - 24:58 to 32:06 Kaze and the Wild Masks - 32:07 to 34:10 Horizon Zero Dawn - 34:11 to 36:15 Monster Hunter Rise -36:16 to 59:24

This week there is very little news, and Matt talks about Kaze and the Wild Masks. We finish off with a March Madness style bracket of Nintendo games! I may come back to this and do timestamps, but right now I need to fit in as much Monster Hunter as possible!

We begin the episode by looking back at 1992 and checking out a Sonic 2 preview. Matt and I have been keeping up with the same games, but I bring a new one to the table as well. To finish it off we pull from Frosty and chat about the Sly Cooper franchise.
