H ow's everyone holding up? You know, with uhhh, all the recent news pouring in from Sony regarding their upcoming departure from physical media and Microsoft's uhhh, well, departure from reality after slaughtering over 1,600 jobs, with more to cut on the way, in the same week they shared the goal to service over a billion players… Shit sucks, yeah, but there's still hope to take stock in, like…
I t's funny how we all used to talk about the summer being the perfect reason to catch up on our backlogs, with the notable drought of marquee game releases until the winter season, when publishers and developers arguably carpet-bomb the quarter with hundreds of game releases aimed at competing for those coveted holiday dollars. Well-that's not so much the case anymore because the summer is also…
L ike the twisted version of Santa Claus that he is, once a year, Geoff Keighley comes out of his mousehole to host a grand event in Los Angeles that lets developers and publishers show off their up-and-coming games to the public via a broadcast presentation he calls the Summer Game Fest. So, it's essentially LIKE Electronic Entertainment Expo in all but name, and like E3, the event engulfs the…
O ne more run right?-Just one more go at it, and this time, things will be different. That's the allure of the Roguelike genre of video games. It isn't just one thing to jam through a level filled with beasties and hazards, you also have to improvise your approach with whatever power-ups or drawbacks you're given, at least long enough to make it to the next area. What was once a hardcore spin on…
T he mind sure is a funny thing-one second, you can find yourself tripping over the gradually increasing existential crisis of modern-day living in 2026, and the next, you'll find yourself thinking about dumb ways to make peeing for a dog way more fun than it should have any right to be! On this week's episode of Press Pause Radio, we tackle some of the news bits in gaming and our current gaming…
C ertain logos instill a sense of wonder and comfort the instant they shimmer onto the screens of our games. The branding of something like the Konami bacon strips or neon-styled letters of SEGA getting shouted out through the speakers invokes a fuzzy feeling of what's to come. One logo, in particular, carries such weight behind its presence that the moment you hear a certain jingle ringing, you…
W ow, sorry about the wait! What was it, four years or so? I don't think we missed much though, wrestling still be wrestling. After a long hiatus, Georgie and Toast got to watching an AEW PPV together and thought it'd be the appropriate time to talk about the graps once again. Revolution 2026 was certainly one for the books, with barely any time to catch a breath while witnessing rivalries ended,…
I t's crazy how glued we are to our phones right? Maybe we should just treat phones the way the cast of Breaking Bad treats them, and just snap them in half every time we're done with them! Either that, or mean mug the SHIT out of Jimmy Fallon, either plan is equally cathartic and acceptable. We're coming out with episode 164 of Press Pause Radio, and we're here to talk about what we've all been…
H EY! LISTEN! Maybe don't do that? Oh, you mean you want to figure it out on your own? Naaahhh, let's pace you through an extensive explanation instead. Tutorialization in Video Games has always been a contentious topic that dates back way before yellow paint, and it was mouthy fairy in 1998 that directed your actions. Sometimes, it came in the form of a speaker box floating around in Dinosaur…
N ow that 2025 has finished swirling its nasty self into the shower drain of time, we're ready to jump into the "D o-Dus " fresh! (yeah, George is still calling it that) and begin our annual "Game of the Year" feature for 2025, the Golden Zonkies! We're not going to lie-the selection was vast this year, and there was a LOT to choose from, especially during a year where brand new hardware dropped…
