Vidjagame Apocalypse

It's the last day of June, so let's look back on a frankly stellar six months of game releases and pick five of our favorites. (Remember that these are just our opinions, which of course means they now have to be YOUR opinions, too.) Once you're done fantasizing about slapping the smug grins right off our dumb faces, why not listen to us talk about Valkyria Revolution, the SNES Classic, Nintendo Badge Arcade's final update, and your favorite games of 2017?

It's not unusual for comedians to star in games, but there was a time when games could sell entirely on the strength of a comedian's personal star power. Heidi Kemps of gaming.moe joins us this week to walk through five times when comedians played themselves in games, after which we dig into ARMS, Cave Story+, Friday the 13th's new apology content, and the games you wanted to see at E3, but didn't.

We're on the eve of yet another E3, so now seems like a good time to get Hank "Henry" Gilbert back in the studio to help us talk about some of the most memorable celebrities to have graced the show with brief cameos. Then it's time to move on to Tekken 7, Hover: Revolt of Gamers, Pokémon news, and your favorite experiences with in-game chat.

Creepy, quasi-religious cults seem to be all the rage in games this year, with heavy hitters like Horizon: Zero Dawn, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and now Far Cry 5 using them as major plot points - so this week, erstwhile hosts Brett Elston and Henry Gilbert rejoin the show for a look at five of gaming's most unsettling and influential cults. Then it's time to dive into Star Trek: Bridge Crew, Friday the 13th, Danger Zone, Sonic Mania, and the arcade games you wish had gotten a home release.
