Our resident Pokemon expert Will, (the only one of us that consistently plays all the pokemon games) weighs in on the controversial new entry into the mainline Pokemon series. You've no doubt seem some of the memes, screencaps and videos from it, but is that really representative of the game as a whole?…

Episode 511: Tactics Ogre Reborn 1:24:46

1:24:46

Will and Corey played the updated tactical RPG Tactics Ogre Reborn for this week's episode....a game that sits right in the wheelhouse of the Thumbstick Athletes podcast, who hold Final Fantasy Tactics in such high esteem. During nibblebits we cover the nominees for the 2022 Game Awards, and it seems like there's 4 or 5 games that were nominated for everything, so if you're a fan of Elden Ring, God of War Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, Stray, or A Plague Tale: Requiem, you're probably going to have a good awards season.…

Episode 506: Ghostwire: Tokyo 1:07:57

il y a 3 years1:07:57

1:07:57

For this week's episode, Will discusses a game that kind of came out of nowhere for us in Ghostwire: Tokyo. He describes it as an open world, supernatural action adventure game with some horror elements. It checks a lot of boxes certainly, but what is it? In our Nibblebits segment we cover the cancellation of E3 among a few other topics, and during "What We Played" we get you caught up on the new Zero Build Fortnite, some Elden Ring, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land.…

Will takes the lead for the main segment this episode, talking about yet another superb 2022 release in Horizon Forbidden West. It's a sequel that both lives up to and surpasses its predecessor in every way. During "What We Played" there is some more Elden Ring discussion as well some a tiny bit more of Triangle Strategy. Stay tuned for our next episode that will cover Triangle Strategy in much more depth!…

1:35:50

Dan and Corey, (and later Will) sit down to talk about what everyone is calling FromSoftware's Magnum Opus in Elden Ring. What do veterans of the Soulsborne series think of the newest, open world entry? We tried to get a Pokemon Legends: Arceus episode scheduled but just couldn't get a time that worked, so we talked about it this episode, along with very brief first impressions of Triangle Strategy. For next week's episode Will is going to cover Horizon Forbidden West....episode to be available next Saturday afternoon.…

1:29:33

It's well past time for our annual awards episode, being well into January....so here it is, Part 1 of the 2021 Thumbies awards. We cover memorable categories such as "Best Rainy Day Game", "The One That Got Away" and the ever popular "Please Stop" award. On a side note, apologies for Dan's audio quality....his mic decided to up and not work as we were sitting down to record so he had to improvise and go with the lower quality microphone on his headset.…

Episode 502: Welcome Back Will 1:25:47

1:25:47

This week we welcome Will back into regular hosting duties, for the first time since probably the Summer. We take the opportunity to find out what he's been playing and his thoughts said games. Some of the titles discussed were Halo: Infinite (of course) Deathloop, Far Cry 6, and Call of Duty Vanguard. Other topics of discussion include the end of Fortnite Chapter 2, nominees for the Game Awards, and a top 10 list from a listener.…

It's been a hot minute since Dan or Corey have sunk any time into a Halo game, especially multiplayer...yet here we are. The surprise release of the Halo Infinite Multiplayer has the TSA Pod taking up arms against their fellow gaming community and sticking noobs with plasma grenades. Later on in the episode Dan talks a little about the Animal Crossing's Happy Home Academy expansion and Corey played an indie gem in Moonglow Bay.…

1:15:07

Corey carries the episode this week, relating his experiences with the new and trending game The Riftbreaker...available now on Steam and PC Gamepass. In nibblebits we cover some exciting PlayStation exclusives coming to PC and in "What We Played" some brief first impressions of Age of Empires 4. Also I wanted to note that I know my audio is cutting out a bit, I'm still working out the kinks in my new setup which should be ironed out soon!…

Episode 498: Metroid Dread 1:11:57

il y a 4 years1:11:57

1:11:57

So yeah, the Metroid series is one that we collectively as a podcast don't have a ton of experience with. Will played the Metroid Prime games many years ago, but that pretty much sums up our experiences with it. So it was a good opportunity to play a metroidvania style game, coming from the OG devs! For Nibblebits we talk about the Animal Crossing Nintendo Direct, and the new additions to Nintendo Switch online.…

Episode 497: New World 50:41

Our topic for this week is the first (successful) game from Amazon Game Studios New World...and is the $40, no subscription fee MMORPG set in a fantasy style Age of Exploration type world worth it? For the other segments we discuss the Twitch hack and two new games in Astria Ascending and (very briefly) Metroid Dread.…

Recording at their new Saturday morning podcast time, Dan and Corey relate their experiences with new indie action-RPG Eastward.....a spiritual successor of sorts to the fabled Earthbound. Then during "What We Played" Dan gets a little further in depth with his experience with New World.

For realsies this time! After a super busy summer, things are have slowed down a little for Dan and Corey and we can get into a normal recording schedule again...likely on the weekend mornings. But for now we get ya'll up to date on what we played over the summer, today's Nintendo Direct, and what the heck we did all summer.…

Episode 494: E3 is Back! 1:32:50

il y a 4 years1:32:50

1:32:50

Just as E3 rises from the ashes like a Phoenix so too does the TSA Podcast! Though I guess ashes is too strong a word, more mismatched schedules and a general lack of time for us.....E3 has, however, risen from the ashes. We cover the Ubisoft Forward event, since that's one of the few conferences that took place already, along with discussing some other miscellaneous announcements and some of the things we'd like to hear about from the other conferences. During "What We Played" Fortnite Season 7, the new Ratchet and Clank, Stardew Valley, and a few others are discussed by Dan, Will, and Corey!…

Episode 492: Outriders 1:10:35

We're back with an irregular episode release, this time covering Outriders. Dan was unable to play due to the whole PC/XBOX Gamepass confusion issue, but played some Cozy Grove to make up for it.

What are some great games that got left behind on their old systems, and haven't made the leap yet to modern day consoles or PC? This is the question Will and Dan discuss in this new (likely series) episode.

We review the excellent addition onto the Super Mario 3D World, Bowser's Fury for this week's episode. Spoilers...its pretty darn good and we hope they make a full Mario game in the same vein.

I don't believe we talked too much about it when it first happened, so now that it's official we took the opportunity to talk about what it will mean for both companies and the studios involved. Later on in the episode Will talks more about Days Gone and Dan played Fortnite Season 6.

While I had a pretty good main segment planned for this week's episode, it was derailed before it even started. Graphics cards are so hard to buy right now that even pre-built gaming PC's are out of stock. So most of the main segment this week was talking about the gpu shortage!

Episode 487: Pokemon Presentation and PlayStation State of Play 1:20:41

il y a 4 years1:20:41

1:20:41

For this week we cover a few digital events that most gamers seem to not be too jazzed about. Though Pokemon stuff is usually a hit, many were disappointed in the nature of the Pokemon Diamond and Pearl remakes. The event was saved, however, by the announcement of Pokemon Legends: Arceus which appears to be a Breath of the Wild-esque Pokemon game. Seems like it will be a safe bet. On the PlayStation front, lots of things coming, but nothing really first party which is what everyone was hoping for, but some neat announcements nonetheless! Dan and Will were not disappointed.…

Episode 486: Project Triangle Strategy Demo 59:21

il y a 4 years59:21

59:21

During Nintendo's February 2021 Direct, a new game was announced that's very near and dear to the TSA Pod...and that game was Project Traingle Strategy. Slated for release in 2022, PTS is a Final Fantasy Tactics-esque Strategy RPG with graphics very similar to Octopath Traveler. Even better than the game announcement itself is the fact that they released a demo later that day! So we played and share our thoughts. Later in the episode we cover the rest of the Nintendo Direct, with announcements about Splatoon 3, and Skyward Sword coming to the Switch and some of the Blizzcon announcements.…
