Episode 331: Horizon Forbidden West

•

The Forbidden West has steadily come closer towards us, past the Horizon and moved near enough that we've been able to grab it, jam it into our PlayStations and tell you what we think of it. We've also got some chat about the reveal of the PSVR2, the probability of Call of Duty skipping its first year in more than a decade, and a bunch of other stuff. So grab your bow and launch into your ears this podcast-arrow that we've crafted by holding L1, looking for the Podcast option, remembering that we actually had to hold down on the D-pad to craft a podcast, going to do that, realizing that we didn't have the required number of hosts to craft a podcast, calling Tommy and asking him to please come round, showing him the meme that everyone keeps sending us of how every podcast has the same three hosts to prove to him that he needs to be here, and then finally holding down the X button for a little over an hour or so. Enjoy!


BIG ANNOUNCEMENT TIME: Check out our brand new podcast Hollywood Phonies, where we improvise the plots to the fake movies featured in real movies like Angels With Filthy Souls (from Home Alone), Sack Lunch (from Seinfeld) and plenty more. Now available on all good podcast apps!


The boys are performing comedy around the country, and you can get tickets! Check out Tommy's new show Turtle Island in Adelaide, Perth and Melbourne - and Ben and Adam's show in the Melbourne Comedy Festival: Chimp Cop presents Impostor Syndrome.

  • Episode 528: Metroid Prime 4 Beyond Review

    01:20:24|
    After eight long years of waiting, it's finally here: Episode 528 of Filthy Casuals. Did I make a similar joke the other week? I can't remember and I'm too busy to check because I've been sinking a lot of time into Metroid Prime 4 Beyond. Does this long-awaited sequel live up to expectations? Are the NPC companions as annoying as the initial reports would have you believe? Is it fun to drive around the desert on a motorbike? We answer all of these questions as well as chatting about the future of Yacht Club Games and thinking about movies that Hideo Kojima could cameo in.🌎Get Exclusive NordVPN deal here ↣ https://nordvpn.com/filthy It’s risk- free with Nord’s 30-day money back guarantee! 👍Get an exclusive 15% discount on Saily data plans!
