The Museum of Modern Games

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!

Visit the website to check out where we placed things!

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!

We journey to the Lands Between to discuss the explosively popular Elden Ring.  Join our conversation on this game, whose strategy and lore has generated as much time spent outside the game as the gameplay itself, by sending us an e-mail or reaching out on social media!  Use your Two Fingers to click play now, or remain maidenless...

After a summer hiatus - WE'RE BACK to conclude our Mass Effect trilogy!  We're revisited by friend-of-the-show Joe Gaumer to hear his thoughts on playing the third game for the first time.

We're joined in the studio by podcasting legend Joe Gaumer to continue our playthrough of the Mass Effect trilogy.  Get ready for some speculation about the reproductive organs of Vorcha, because that's what we felt was important to talk about!  A special thanks to Joe for our funniest episode to date.  Stay tuned to the end for a special remix of our theme song...

In this episode, the first in a special three-part series, we replay the now fifteen-year-old Mass Effect trilogy.  Join us to reflect on this Effect project and also... contrast and connect.  Does Mass Effect amass respect?  Does it... surpass project..ions?  Just listen.

Investigate murders most foul in the time of wooden ships and iron men as you roleplay as the worlds most devoted insurance adjuster!  It's the Return of the Obra Dinn!

Chess is dead!  Long live Into the Breach!

Take a step back in time to the sepia-ridden tones of 1987 to discuss the NES game Faxanadu.

The music slaps!

Another prime number episode!

We descend into hell to talk about Hades. But it's... a nicer hell, with cute furies (they're still trying to kill you) and a big cuddly three-headed dog.

Join us to talk about this game, which has racked up many game-of-the-year awards, and has made a splash in the gaming community.

Look, I know we say it's episode seven.  It's not.  It's five.  Talking about four.  Streets of Rage 4.  
Bring back beat-um-ups.

Also, five is still prime.

Another game with banjo music?  Join us on the meandering and enigmatic Kentucky Route Zero, to talk about this game that defies convention.
