  • What we've got for you today is a classic Aether. On the nose you get notes of triple-A game. On first sip, you'll feel the familiar tang of a long running RPG series up front quickly followed by the depth of an indie darling. Finally, on the finish you'll have the unforgettable combination of Pokemon and ROM hacks. Oh, and make sure you aren't downwind of any of your fellows here; this one will make you gassy.

    Discussed: We're back, thank you so much for listening, new merch (link below), Patreon (link below), Elden Ring, The Trails series, 1000xRESIST, Pokemon Crystal & Yellow Legacy, SmithPlays Pokemon on YouTube, gas

  • Surprise! We're back a week early with an absolute behemoth. To celebrate hitting 1 million downloads of the show a few months ago (!!), we're proud to present our one-hundred favorite games of the decade from the years 2000 to 2009! A sincere thank you to everyone who has ever listened to, shared, or backed the show. We couldn't have done this without you, for real. We thought there was no better way to share our gratitude than by following up the fan-favorite GOTD episode we did in 2019.

    And for those of you who DO back the show, make sure to head over to our Patreon to hear ANOTHER episode in which we chop the initial list down from 200+ to the 100 that made it here.
