There's also a side tangent about games media and podcasts as well as listener question about the new Playstation Plus subscriptions. Finally in gaming Trees is wrapping, and enjoying, Mass Effect 3 while Fred played Destroy All Humans! (2021), Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, and his highlight Ghostwire: Tokyo.
2022-04-013h 24
Video Game PuristsZero PercentThis week Trees has an uplifting series of events while Fred talks about plans to attend the Midwest Gaming Classic in Milwaukee at the end of April. On the gaming front, Trees is making his way through Mass Effect 3 and finding it's not as strong as he'd hoped and remembered. Fred is wrapping Mass Effect 2 and finally retires Tunic.
2022-03-252h 36
Video Game PuristsDon't Stop Believin'This week Trees struggles with illness and coy cheerleaders while Fred attends a Journey concert. On the gaming front it's all Mass Effect for Trees as he wraps up the second game and goes right into the third. Fred also played Mass Effect 2 but found time to dig into the first third of Tunic, try (and discard) Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories, and deal with a broken Genesis controller port just to play the terrible Incredible Hulk game.

Video Game PuristsTriple DigitsThis week we're late but it's episode 100 so who cares, right? Trees and Fred discuss what they've been up to (including why this ep wasn't on time). On the gaming front Trees continues to grind away at Car Mechanic Simulator, nearly wraps Mass Effect, and toys around with two of the "99" Switch games (Tetris 99 and Pac-Man 99). Fred has soft modded his Wii U, wrapped up Spyro 2, and gone all retro with Jay & Silent Bob Mall Brawl, along with some initial impressions of Cyberpunk 2077.
2022-02-271h 59
Video Game PuristsSUPThis week it's birthday's for Trees and dog bars for Fred. Much on the gaming front as well, starting with Maneater, which Trees is still working through with his son and Fred has completed 100 percent. Additionally Trees was getting very Playstation Home-like with Riders Republic (the beta) and...Car Mechanic Simulator 2021! Fred waved goodbye to 12 Minutes and Doom II while continuing through Psychonauts 2 and having some GameStop shenanigans. His highlight this week, however, is that he's really enjoying the life (and death) of Demon's Souls.
2021-09-032h 16
Video Game PuristsJox RoxThis week Trees discusses the wrap up of vacation while Fred works through a very difficult series of events and listener mail sparks even deeper discussion. On the gaming front, Trees has been rocking through Yakuza: Like a Dragon while also dabbling in Star Wars Squadrons and returning to Titanfall 2. Fred has watched a bunch of media including Black Widow, The Forever Purge, Inside, and Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness (all spoiler free discussions). Fred's games include Rayman Redemption and Biomutant as well as finishing Psychonauts and Far Cry Primal.

Video Game Purists"Short" ShowThis week has to be a bit shorter due to Fred's schedule, but nothing is trimmed and we still get in about 2 hours. After plenty of home drama last week Trees has a more relaxed week prepping for summer while Fred is just playing with retro setups. On the games front Trees is getting back into runs on Dead Cells and completed TellTale's Guardians of the Galaxy title. Fred gave MIitopia a try as well as dove into VR with Rez Infinite and Moss. The big game for him is, of course, Resident Evil Village, which he adores.

Video Game PuristsGutter RebelsThis week opens with some talk of upcoming releases. Yes, there are games starting to come out! Then Trees is having more home improvement fun while Fred is back to outdoor theaters and animated series. On the games front, both Trees and Fred are having a blast with Rayman Legends. Trees jumped on game pass to get back into Rory McIlroy's PGA 14 and is watching all kinds of Mii insanity on Switch with Miitomo. Fred is on his 3rd round of Resident Evil Village demos and also played the E3 demo of the unreleased Dreamcast title Castlevania: Resurrection.

Video Game PuristsThe 11 Percent ChallengeThe show kicks off with a discussion on Dreamcast gaming. Trees and Fred get very different things from buying, collecting, and playing retro games. Fred eats crow on his obvious PS5 obsession and then the discussion turns to more New Hammy fun and buying a cheap recliner. On the games front Trees discusses Nintendo Switch multiple account woes, completes Super Mario 3D World, dabbles in Bowser's Fury, and wraps up with Eastshade. Fred replayed the Famicom Disk System translated version of Zelda no Densetsu: A Hyrule Fantasy (Legend of Zelda in the US) and had a pretty good time with...

Video Game PuristsHot Beach LifeguardsThis week Fred and Trees discuss cabin life and the irresponsibility of the Internet before jumping into games. Trees has been continuing on with Fall Guys and Super Mario 3D World but also diving into Concrete Genie and Nascar Heat 5. Both he and Fred talk a bit about Funko Pop! Blitz before Fred rants about how much he works to avoid looking into PS5s before wrapping up with a luke warm response to Batman: Arkham City.

After a long discussion about the now fully informed next generation and the exciting titles on the horizon, the discussion moves to games Trees and Fred have been playing. For Trees it’s wrapping up Man of Medan and starting Spiritfairer while Fred wrapped up Far Cry 4 and Shaq Fu (both the original and recent A Legend Reborn titles).
