Game Time With Manny

This is the 100th episode of the podcast! I wish I had something wild to say, but in the end it's just another episode. This week we chat about Mario's 35th anniversary, the games we've been playing, and the top 10 consoles of ALL TIME! News - 3:45 to 33:57 What We Played - 33:58 to 53:52 Top 10 Consoles of All Time - 53:53 to 1:54:55 Specific Games Spiritfarer - 34:00 to 39:12 Undermine - 39:13 to 43:20 Matt's Spaghetti - 43:21 to 48:17 Tell Me Why - 48:18 to 53:42

In this episode we go over some things announced at gamescom and talk a bit about the DC games that were finally announced last weekend. Matt played the Avengers Beta while I played the Tony Hawk Demo. He finally beat Ghosts of Tsushima, and I tried as hard as possible to finish Spiritfarer... To end we pick from Frosty and come out with one of my favorite franchises of all time. News - 00:50 to 28:23 What We Played - 28:24 Viewtiful Joe - 51:08 to 1:09:33 Specific Games Avengers Beta - 28:24 to 37:05 Spiritfarer - 37:06 to 43:14 Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2 Demo - 43:15 to 48:43 Ghosts of Tsushima - 48:44 to 51:07

In the heat of summer news tends to dry up, but I was able to scrape the bottom of the barrel to get something for us to talk about. Spiritfarer came out, so I talk all about how I played a ton of it. To finish up we talk about our hopes for the next generation of consoles. News - 0:33 to 21:33 What We Played - 21:35 - 39:40 Next gen hopes - 39:43 to 1:41:53 Specific Games Spiritfarer - 21:35 to 39:40

Halo Infinite was delayed, Ono is leaving Capcom, the Xbox One S is real, and Epic is suing Apple and Google. These are just a few of the exciting news topics you can expect on this week's podcast. I beat Fast and Furious Crossroads and I know that's the real reason you're all here. We talk about why it was so very disappointing before moving on to Ooblets, Fall Guys, and Pokemon The podcast finishes weakly, because we have to talk about Skyward Sword at the end... News - 00:36 to 31:08 What We Played - 31:09 to 1:15:20 Skyward Sword - 1:15:21 to 1:31:20 Specific Games Fast and Furious: Crossroads - 31:09 to 53:50 Ooblets - 53:51 to 59:10 Fall Guys - 59:11 to 1:06:20 Pokemon DLC - 1:06:21 to 1:15:20

This week I got very excited about video games. I was reminded Crossroads is coming out, and the GOTY of 2020 got a release date! Everything is coming together! I didn't play anything and Matt played a few games he's been chipping away at, so we kind of just shoot the shit until we eventually talk about our hopes for Yakuza 7. News - 7:10 to 47:53 What We Played - 47:54 to 56:17 Like a Dragon Predictions - 56:18 to 1:23:48

The news is barren this week, so we wring what little we can out of it before talking about the one thing we've been playing. That game is Ghosts of Tsushima! For the third part we discuss whether the E3 of Old or our current Summer Games Fest is superior. News - 8:25 to 24:50 What We Played - 24:52 to 36:29 E3 Vs. Summer Games Fest - 36:30 to 1:10:23 Specific Games Ghosts of Tsushima - 24:52 to 36:29

For this episode Matt and I are joined by special guest Gary. You may remember him from a Project Top 10 I did where his favorite game happened to be The Last of Us. He was very excited to talk about TLOU2, but first we had to get through the news and the surprising amount of games we've been playing. Then we get into a very lengthy spoiler discussion for TLOU2. News - 1:19 to 31:42 What We Played - 31:43 to 55:00 The Last of Us 2 Spoiler Discussion - 55:01 to 3:16:48 Specific Games - Death Stranding - 31:55 to 38:38 Dreams - 38:39 to 43:02 Ghosts of Tsushima - 43:03 to 48:23 Panzer Paladin - 48:24 to 52:27 Carrion - 52:28 to 55:00

There were a few pseudo E3 press conferences this week, so we chat about those before transitioning into talk of the hottest new releases like Deadly Premonition 2 and Ghosts of Tsushima. To round out the podcast we make a top ten list of our favorite Nintendo published games that came out in the 90's. News - 00:44 to 19:38 What We Played - 19:41 to 39:28 Top 10 Nintendo Games of the 90's - 39:29 to 1:25:27 Specific Games Deadly Premonition 2 - 19:41 to 27:47 The Last of Us 2 - 27:48 to 32:27 Ghosts of Tsushima - 32:28 to 36:50

I'll be real honest with you guys there probably won't be time stamps for this one since I accidentally deleted the project file... Anyways, this is our shortest episode yet where we talk about the hottest new reality TV show and Dynasty Warriors. Enjoy!

2020 continues to suck ass, so we talk about that a lot. However, Ooblets is coming out on the 15th of July and that's tight! Matt played two games, which we briefly discuss and then move on to our Frosty topic, which is Majora's Mask! News - 00:35 to 29:52 What We Played - 29:53 to 36:28 Majora's Mask - 36:29 to 1:05:32 Specific Games Castlevania - 29:53 to 32:36 Celeste - 32:37 to 36:28

Sadly this week contains numerous allegations of sexual assault and predatory behavior in the video game industry. When talking about it we reference several Tweet threads. Which I will link below. - https://twitter.com/Teanah/status/1275491588479672320 - https://twitter.com/inkydojikko/status/1275296031119310848 - https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sr9m2g It's awful stuff, but at least it's coming to light. Some good stuff happened too like a new Crash Bandicoot, Min-Min in Smash and Pokemon Unite... The only game we both played is The Last of us 2, which we talk about a lot and then pick a topic from Frosty which ends up being the original The Last of Us. So buckle up for a lot of talking about The Last of Us. News - 4:40 to 39:36 What We Played - 39:37 to 1:02:19 The Last of Us - 1:02:20 to 1:31:45 Specific Games The Last of Us 2 - 39:37 to 1:02:19

The news is light, but there are some true bangers to talk about. Cyberpunk delayed? A new Pokemon Snap game? Tune in and find out! We both actually played some stuff this time, so we talk about that as usual before moving into a fun game that lets you know what we're excited about for the rest of the year! News - 4:14 to 26:09 What We Played - 26:10 to 40:50 Fuck,Marry,Kill - 40:51 to 1:17:31 Specific Game Timestamps Pokemon Isle of Armor DLC - 26:10 to 30:15 Saints Row the Third - 30:16 to 33:08 Assassin's Creed Rogue - 33:09 to 35:55 The Last of Us 2 - 35:56 to 40:50

Sony came out swinging with tons of got PS5 gameplay, so we begin by talking about that. Matt was the only one who played anything this week, which we also talk about before determining our collective top ten games of the generation. I'll be honest, this went a lot easier than I thought it would..until the very end. News - 00:28 to 49:50 What We Played - 49:51 to 56:06 Top 10 of the Generation - 56:07 to 2:06:01 Specific Game Timestamps RE3 Remake - 49:51 to 56:06

It's been an awful week in the U.S. as the murder of George Floyd by a police officer has sparked protests and incited even more police violence. The system is broken, and has been forever. Now is the time for change, and if you have a problem with the views Matt and I express during the first 7-10 minutes of this podcast we won't miss having you around. The news is lighter than it was going to be originally this week as most gaming companies made the right decision to take a step back and let the world have a discourse about its issues. Matt and I played one game each, which we briefly chat about before moving into the final 6 publishers we're going to discuss. The top 10 publishers of the generation list is completed in this episode. Next time though, we're doing a top 10 games of the generation podcast. Hopefully that goes well. News - 00:35 to 19:11 What We Played - 19:12 to 30:09 6 Publishers - 30:10 to 2:29:13 Specific Game Timestamps Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition - 19:13 to 25:48 Minec

Most of the news this week is related to events being announced over the next few weeks. E3 may have been cancelled, but it looks like the industry is still going to come at us hard with announcements over the next month or so. After chatting it up about the games we've been playing we discuss the final major publisher on our list, which is Xbox Game Studios. News - 00:37 to 27:59 What We Played - 28:00 to 1:01:51 Xbox Game Studios - 1:01:52 to 2:13:39 Specific Game Timestamps Signs of the Sojourner - 28:04 to 41:45 PSO2 - 41:46 to 53:05 Rayman Origins - 53:06 to 57:00

As Matt predicted last week there was too much news and now we're getting absolutely nothing. We scrape the bottom of the news barrel before Matt talks a bit about what he's been playing. For the grand finale we talk about WB Games and CD Projekt Red while going on several tangents about the films Cars and Spiderman 2. News - 00:33 to 18:18 What We Played - 18:19 to 34:16 WB Games and CD Projekt Red - 34:17 to 1:44:41 Specific Game Timestamps Spiderman - 20:59 to 23:28 Hyperdot - 23:29 to 25:05 Uncharted 4 & Middle Earth: Shadow or Mordor - 25:06 to 34:16

I apologize for the horrendous name of the episode this week. The Summer Game Fest has begun and tons of weird random announcements have been coming out daily. There's a remaster of Tony Hawk 1&2, a new Unreal Engine, and a Paper Mario game! This week the tables have turned and I was the only one who played a new game, which we discuss before moving on to our discussion about Ubisoft. News - 1:05 to 43:35 What We Played - 43:36 to 1:01:20 Ubisoft - 1:01:21 to 2:44:03 Specific Game Timestamps Rakuen - 43:36 to 52:36

This week the roles are reversed where we talk about a bunch of news and then the third part is quite a bit shorter. Interestingly 2K didn't publish many games this generation. News - 4:50 to 1:01:31 What We Played - 1:01:32 to 1:19:55 2K - 1:19:56 to 1:59:01 Specific Game Timestamps Rocketron - 1:02:39 to 1:05:13 Steam World Dig 2 on Stadia - 1:05:14 to 1:16:37

Numerous video games are getting releases and next generation console games are about to be shown. Amidst all the madness Matt and I still make time to play some video games! We chat it up and rank what Square-Enix has been up to this generation for the third part. News - 00:38 to 31:20 What We Played - 31:21 to 1:11:19 Square-Enix - 1:11:20 to 2:40:22 Specific Game Timestamps Until Dawn - 31:31 to 33:48 Xcom: Chimera Squad - 33:49 to 46:34 Persona 5 Royal - 46:35 to 54:07 Final Fantasy 7 Remake - 54:08 to 1:11:19

Apparently Nintendo decided to update all their games, which dominates a good portion of the news. I have been playing the same games for hundreds of hours, so once again it's just Matt who has new games to talk about. For the third part we tackle the subject of Sony in our legally binding publisher rankings for the current console generation. News - 00:42 to 27:22 What We Played - 27:23 to 43:43 Sony - 43:44 to 2:40:35 Specific Game Timestamps The Pedestrian - 28:40 to 28:51 Fire Emblem: Three Houses - 28:52 to 30:57 Bound - 30:58 to 33:55 Until Dawn - 33:56 to 38:43 Lenna's Inception - 38:44 to 40:57 Top Run - 40:58 to 43:43
