Episode 2 and we're trying something new! Every Month PlayStation gives out some free games and we're going to choose one, play it, and then talk about it! This month we decided to do the Sloclap Kung Fu game SIFU. We have thoughts and feelings and want to share those feelings and thoughts with you lovely people. We had fun with this episode and think you will thoroughly enjoy it and want to then go play it and talk to us about it on discord! Sound like a plan? Yes? Yes! discord.ageofgeek.com Hosted on Acast.

Ring a ding a ling a ding! We're back and have survived the wave of panels at SLC FanX 2023!

There's lots of tea to sip and spill on this Behind the Scenes episode, without even fully dipping into the issues Blizzard has been having, from development issues to the actual mythos surrounding Lillith.

You can't talk about Hogwarts Legacy for nearly a month without talking about your Myers-Briggs personality and its correlation with our hat-designated Hogwarts houses. Can you guess which houses Linds, Mar, and Steph are in? In this episode, Marlee admits to being a control nerd, and Steph proposes a Harry Potter Pickle-free Puzzle People Party club. Also, Lindsey has a just a spark one of her "Lindsey's broken" laugh fits. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Prepare for a little bit of whiplash as we go from cackling side rants to a sincere chat about inclusiveness and actually pretty important things.

We discuss our neighbor Avalanche Software, the uselessness of the game's quidditch coach (as well as our respective quidditch positions), antisemitism, and a disingenuous use of a powerful platform, letting people be the tour guide to their world, and pickles. Oh, and please always keep reading with the kids in your life! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

They're fresh off of the Hogwarts Express for the summer and ready to cast their unforgivable curses that they learned from their sketchy classmate in the undercroft!

Lindsey, Steph and Mar explore the vast landscape of Vanaheim in this episode where we cover God of War: Ragnarok!

In this Side Mission episode, Steph, Marlee, and Lindsey bring back an old game back into the rotation. That's right, Fortnite is back! But only because of Zero Build Mode. Marlee and Steph share their experiences skydiving back into this battle royale - the various weapons and skins, while Lindsey shares what skins there would have to be available in order for her to play again. I will give you one hint: My Chemical Romance. Marlee rambles, Steph makes jokes, and Lindsey promises that one day she will play Fortnite with us.
