Hey there Cubies! While turn based combat has not gone anywhere, it really did feel that it was begining to be left behind. Especially when you look at some of the bug hitters like Final Fantasy even changing the direction of their combat systems. But games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 have really shown us how turn based combat can be evolved. So, this week we take a look back at the history of turn based combat and how it has ...
Hey there Cubies! We have a special one this week. We found out about the amazing ROM hack MarioMon and it is a banger! The game is so fleshed out and dare we say the best Pokemon game in a long time?!? Then its time for the big game. The one we have been waiting for and knew that it would grab us, but we did not know just how amazing this one was going to be. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is phenomenal, from the music, the art, the ...
Hey there Cubies! This week we have a little update of what we are playing. From Promise Mascot Agency, to Gears 5 we have a lot to talk about. But the main conversation for this week is the concept of replaying games. Not just remakes/remasters but just replaying games from our past and is that something that motivates our choices when it comes to picking what to play next. Do we want to see the same story unfold again? Or would w...
Hello Cubies! This week we have a couple great titles for you. Blue Prince is a puzzle roguelike where you build the mansion room by room as you explore it. The main goal is to find the hidden 46th room. The puzzles are very involved and the story that gets slowly unraveled to you is captivating. And then we have South Of Midnight. A game that uses stories and folklore of the south to tell a rich story of trauma in a beautiful way....
Hey there Cubies! It has been a pretty crazy week for Nintendo. With the full specs of the Switch 2 showcased and the confirmation of the new crazy mouse joycons, along with group chats and new games there is a lot to chat about. Some interesting tech choices, and some amazing looking games. Like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza to name a couple!

It's crazy that a bee kills itself with its sting. Who would you sting? Bees, the ultimate edgers. What other animals die from their defense mechanisms. Exploding ants?!? 7 years till asteroid. It is massive compared to what has hit us before. Could hit the moon. Other dooms day stuff. Did the Mayans just run out of room on the stone and thats why there were no more dates?

Hey there Cubies! This week we are diving into some of the game we are most excited about for 2025. Just have to say that it looks like this is the year of the samurai!

Hey there Cubies! We are back at it again with our Make A Game series. We get some random themes and and goals and try to see what kinda games come out of it. We have used a lot of random generators in the past, but this time we are using AI to come up with jumping off points. But....AI is a little weird and really wanted to push sentient objects on us.

Hey there Cubies! We have an interesting one for you all this week. It feels like the calm before the storm for sure. After tackling a big game resently it has been nice just cruising through some smaller titles, or catching up with ones we havent gotten too just yet. Like, Chris hopping on Dragon Age: Veilguard. A game that defineatly does not deserve the negative press that it got. And Journey is still on peoples minds! With the ...
Hey there Cubies! So, in celebration of Pokemon day and all the crazy things announced we are diving back into the world of Pokemon. Z-A looks like an interesting evolution into the franchise and it could breath new life into it. It being in just one town is a little strange and the choice to include Tepig in the lineup is weird, but there must be a reason for it. We also got the announcement for Pokemon Champions which looks aweso...
Hey there Cubies! Unity is back in the conversation this week. Surprisingly their stock is on the ride once again. Although it is still a pale comparison to what it was in 2021. So, why the change? Well they have a new string of investors backing their endeavors into AI with Unity MUSE. A new tool that will allow users to basically make games using AI. Generate code, sprites, behaviors and more. But here is the big question, what w...
Hey there Cubies! Following last week we are chatting about our time in Citizen Sleeper 2. The first game left such a large impression on us can the second one live up to that? Also chat about Trails Of Azure, Milk Inside A Bag Of Milk Inside A Bag Of Milk. And we have dipped our toes in Avowed and oh boy!

Hey there Cubies! We are sharing our deep dive episode into Citizen Sleeper. A game that really left an impact on us. From the story, to the art, to the music it was truly a work of art. And with Citizen Sleeper 2 out now we thought it would be a perfect time to revisit those thoughts before we dive into the next installment.

Hey there Cubies! We are diving into a new game that was just announced by Compulsion Games, South Of Midnight. A game set in the south showcases the rich lore and culture of the area. This tittle appears to be doing some amazing things when it comes to the story telling, art and music. But why is already being looked at under a microscope and being judged so harshly. Well there is something that plagues not just gaming culture, bu...
Hey there Cubies! So, it is finally official, after all the rumors and the leaks the trailer for the Switch 2 has dropped and we could not be more excited. As well as curious about the whole joycon mouse rumor. Nintendo is known for taking weird gambles on their hardware, but this time around it feels a bit more conservative. Regardless it is an exciting time to be a Nintendo fan!
