The Museum of Modern Games
In the MMG we cover one video-game per episode, discussing and contrasting our shared experiences. Join us!
Episodes
This should really count as episodes 33 through 83, as we (kinda) review all FIFTY games in the ambitious retro-modern game collection that is UFO 50.
The alleyway in back of the Museum has been drawing a lot of attention. Apparently, some people are catching a whiff of something greater than garbage. In this episode, we become dumpster diplomats and rummage through the refuse, looking for some inadvertently misplaced games to elevate into The Museum.
After a long summer hiatus we're back with an episode about the melancholic What Remains of Edith Finch.
Join us in as we revisit the strange and sentimental world of: EarthBound! There's lots to talk about with this cult classic, from its bizarre "scratch and sniff" marketing campaign to how it somehow successfully blends Lovecraftian horror with wide-eyed childlike innocence. We explore the surreal and nostalgic Jungian dreamscape of Magicant, then remark on the absurdity of fighting a sentient pile of...
We scratch the surface of Tunic - a game that seems to always have more beneath the surface. We thank our patron Rick for choosing this wildly mysterious game.
We brothers endeavor to relive the glory days of classic RPGs as we play the spiritual successor of the Suikoden games - the kickstarted game Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. Does it rekindle the magic of the originals or does nostalgia do most of the heavily lifting to keep this adventure aloft?
We pilot the lovably inept Guybrush Threepwood across a fictional version of the Caribbean to talk about the enduring charm of the 1990 point-and-click adventure The Secret of Monkey Island, our second from Lucasfilm Games.
Ryan stops hitting his wing chun dummy to discuss Sifu with Chris. We discuss the desire within all mens' hearts to do kung-fu, and how we've settled for the immaculate combat system in this 2022 beat'em up game from Sloclap.
We take a break from our usual format to revisit Baldur's Gate 3 with a second set of brothers. We chat about our Honour Mode close calls and how it changed the game for us. As this podcast plays, power courses through you. Authority.
In this episode, we finally return to discuss the remarkable Baldur's Gate 3! Join us as we delve into our experiences with this game from Larian Studios. This episode holds a special place in our hearts, as it marks a return to our roots - our very first episode covered Divinity 2: Original Sin!
Hustle into the heart-pounding, skeleton-smashing, disco-dungeon that is: Crypt of the NecroDancer. Join us as we dig deeper and dance deadlier.
Blindfold yourself, grab your katana, get to your moon bunker, and teach your Roomba about mortality. We're joining 2B and "Nines" in Yoko Taro's NieR: Automata.
Tremulously enter into the ominous world Dap. This indie game is at once charming and sinister. But, does it earn a place in our Museum? Listen and find out!
We're introducing a new concept for the podcast - Collections! We'll be categorizing games into the various wings of our digital museum. In this episode, we revisit the games we've played so far and place them into their respective Collections!

We're back from our summer hiatus for a short episode about the comedic western game West of Loathing! Saddle up!
This episode? Star Renegades! Dedicated to the memory of Gilbert Gottfried. Also, Ryan got a soundboard and it might be the end of us.
Thanks to Patreon Cory for suggesting the story-generating game Rimworld. Join us to relive tragic tales from our stranded colonists, and witness how much of a monster Ryan can be as he pointlessly pushes his castaways to the breaking point.
We're joined by special guest - voice actor Avalon Penrose, better known as Megaera of Hades fame, to talk about her life! Hear about how she got into voice acting, balances it with a "normal life," and how she gets advice from jaywalking tickets and strange men on boardwalks.
Casey Jones joins us to revisit another NES classic with Maniac Mansion! You'll have to listen to hear how Eugene Levy and this classic game intersect. Plus you'll hear some of the best NES bops ever made!
We take a break from our regular programming to reflect on a year of games and podcasting. After retracing our steps through the Museum, we urge YOU to reach out and join us!
