The Bear Vs. Man Cast128 - I Said Thine NameRyan... Ryan has a crazy robot voice sometimes. And his recording was 3 seconds longer so what's the deal with that? I did my best, and like most of the episodes of The Bear vs. Man Cast, this episode is tolerable! Monster Hunter, The Legend of Zelda: The Link to the Past, Into the Breach, Pit People, and Nintendo news: all topics of discussion on this episode.

The Bear Vs. Man Cast126 - MoHunWoActually Non-Ironic Special Guest Joe was in da' house, so him and Nick and Ryan decided to talk for way too long about a couple of games, even though Ryan drank enough that he had to close his eyes so he wouldn't get too drunk. Considering how little we played it, Monster Hunter World takes up a surprisingly large amount of the discussion, but there's still plenty of time to talk about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Yakuza 2, and maybe something else.

Unsurprisingly, Dungeons & Dragons and Hearthstone are primary topics, but the guys also talk about Emily is Away, What Remains of Edith Finch, and Never Stop Sneakin'.
