Great Potential
Retroforce Go is one of my favorite podcasts. The chemistry that Topher, Chad, Dyson and Colette had was incredible. I'm optomistic for this podcast.

Great podcast with fun hosts and topics!
I've been a longtime fan of Colette ever since she was on RetroForceGO! back in the day so it's great to have her on a podcast again! This is my first time hearing Matt but he is fantastic too. Their rapport is amazing and the topics were interesting and unique compared to other gaming podcasts.

Great gaming podcast and a lot of fun
I felt really pulled into their discussion, and they talked about a wide range of games and topics, not just the top AAA titles at the moment.

- 109 Dopamine Forest: The Real Reason 'Tears of the Kingdom' Is So RewardingOur obsession with Tears of the Kingdom continues as we discuss what makes it so engaging, and how it masterfully avoids the pitfalls of "aimless" open world game design. We also address some of the criticism around its re-hashing of BoTW, and why that ultimately works in its favor in strange ways. Also, what's the best way to watch (and understand?) Evangelion?

- 107 TEARS OF THE KINGDOM First Impressions With @JammyCooks[SPOILER-FREE DISCUSSION UNTIL 50:10] The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has finally arrived, and we've been playing since it dropped last night. Colette is on assignment, so fellow Zelda fanatic Jaime Carrillo joins Matt to discuss the first 3-4 hours of what may go down in history as one of the greatest video games ever made. Jaime has loved Zelda since he was a (literal) fetus, and shares the fresh and familiar mechanics that make ToTK so remarkable. He also shares the inspiration for his YouTube channel, in which he cooks recipes from video games in real life, including BoTW, Pokemon, and Paper Mario.

- 105 UK Blocks the Microsoft/Activision Merger. Now What?The United Kingdom has blocked Microsoft from acquiring Activision Blizzard in a major regulatory swing, citing unfair competition in the cloud gaming market. Microsoft will appeal of course, but what actually happens if one country blocks a multi-national merger? We discuss the differences between what we (as gamers) want to happen, vs. what should happen. Also, the jaw-dropping photorealism of Unrecord, and our favorite gems from Nintendo's April Indie World Showcase. Spoiler: It was different in Japan.

- 104 What Would a Netflix AAA Live Service Game Look Like?When Netflix first entered the games biz, many in the industry scoffed. But their partnership strategies and platform-agnostic mobile approach has shown promise. Now the news of a former Halo developer joining Netflix to create a new AAA IP has us thinking: A cross-platform, live service game on PC and consoles that's "free" to play with a Netflix login could be a massive hit — if the game is great. We discuss the shifting live service landscape, our excitement for Stardew Valley 1.6, Sega buying Angry Birbs for mere pennies, and why we must protect Eric Barone (ConcernedApe) at all costs.

- 103 The Weird-Ass Video Games We Rented From BlockbusterWe all remember the video games near and dear to our nostalgic hearts. But what about the ephemeral, random boxes we picked up at the local video store when we had nothing else to play? If music and screenshots of these weird games bring back a flood of memories, you're in good company. We recount the strangest and most interesting '90s games forgotten by time, why the industry moved away from weird games, and our gratitude for the current golden age of weirdness.

- 101 Zelda: TotK's Weapon Durability Is the Most Polarizing Issue of Our Time (Sky Burkson Returns!)It's time to discuss the controversy that has divided our great nation for far too long: Should Link's stick break after you whack it too much? On the heels of fresh gameplay for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, miniature artist and Pro Gamer Dad™ Sky Burkson returns to Chat about how Nintendo has leaned hard into the physics sandbox of its open-world sequel, and whether that's what fans really want from a Zelda game. Plus, we discuss Sky's latest epic Elden Ring paper sculpture, why AI-generated art can't compete with true fandom (yet), and how Netflix's quasi-platform gaming strategy might be paying off.

- 100 How 'Minesweeper' Made Microsoft a Gaming Company (w/ Kyle Orland)When "Minesweeper" and "Solitaire" were first bundled with Microsoft's Windows operating system in the early '90s, they introduced millions of people to PC gaming, many of whom had never used a mouse before. "Minesweeper" in particular became a favorite addiction of many Microsoft programmers, including Bill Gates. Kyle Orland, senior gaming editor at Ars Technica, has written an upcoming book about the legacy of the grey, tiled Roguelike that paved the way for a more robust ecosystem of PC games and eventually the Xbox brand we know today. The ubiquity of these casual pack-in games rivaled the scale of current "Candy Crush" obsessions, and also caused moral panic among business and political leaders, who decried office workers frittering away their productivity on addictive games. Kyle dives into the curious exploits that competitive Minesweepers discovered when they were finally connected to the Internet, and how Microsoft missed its chance for "Solitaire" to become the "Fortnite" of the Windows Store. He also shares stories from his early days curating a Super Mario Bros. fan site when he was 15, interviewing Shigeru Miyamoto, and why "Bubble Bobble" desperately needs a 3D reboot. Plus, we absolve Colette's guilt about giving Blizzard money for the "Diablo IV" beta and why a new Tactics + Roguelite + RPG + Tower Defense + Diabloish game has got its hooks in Matt.

In all, she has more than 3,000 and counting, and her collection has been covered by games media and collector trades around the world. Linda joins us for a really fun and fascinating Chat about how she got started, the huge role her family plays in her love of gaming, an exclusive announcement, and why we often forget about video games that existed before cartridges. Linda also shares the "White Whale" system that has slipped through her fingers more than once, and what it's like being a Black woman in a retro scene traditionally dominated by men. We also try to convince Linda, who literally owns thousands of handheld game systems, to get a Steam Deck, because REASONS. And bonus points if you remember the Commodore 64 game "Lemonade Stand."

So, is this the end of the story? Will anything change at the company or in the gaming industry as a whole? We discuss our disappointments and optimism. Also, Hogwarts Legacy has garnered rave reviews from nearly every major outlet, confirming that this is the Wizarding game fans have anticipated for decades. But it's not without controversy, of course. We discuss our complicated feelings around the game in a larger cultural context.

We trace their lineage back to the city games of yore, why they've split into a new subgenre, the difference between a "toy" and a "game," and the pure creative dopamine hits you get when setting up the perfect farm/island/city.

But what about open-ended sims, where you set your own goals? This week, we were so mesmerized by Stardew Valley speedrunners on GDQ that we had to invite them on the show. Lee (@atwentysomethingloser) and Lisa (@lichatton) are Stardew-obsessed Twitch streamers who have dissected the game to find the fastest ways to marry specific villagers, complete Community Center bundles, catch every fish, and other in-game milestones, often achieving these runs in mere hours. Their strategies involve animation canceling, min/maxing gifts, and a lot of sleep!

- 89 Fortnite Pays an Epic $520 Million Price on PrivacyEpic Games settled an FTC investigation alleging it had violated the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by collecting too much data on minors and tricking them into unintended purchases.
