Episode 416: PAX Aus 2023, Chants of Sennaar Review

•

We convened at a convention this weekend, and we can tell you about what we've played there including Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, Sonic Superstars, and a ton of indie games. We've played some of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Beta and Forza Motorsport, and Adam's played and loved the language translation adventure game Chants of Sennaar. Speaking of language, I've been avoiding admitting it, but I think it's time: writing those first few words of the description here is the first time I've realised that a convention is called a convention because you convene there. I bet that's why they call it a convent too. What about convenient? Is that related? Time to see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

  • Episode 463: Astro Bot, PS5 Pro

    01:31:36|
    This week we review the cheerful ghost of PlayStation past Astro Bot, and react to the expensive ghost of PlayStation future, the PS5 Pro. Are Sony being scrooges with that price? Is Astro Bot so fun that it'll have you flinging open a window and yelling "you there, boy, what day is it?" I'll be honest I only remember so much about A Christmas Carol so that's not necessarily a logical reaction to enjoying a game, but I had no other real element of the story in my head to draw from. Why even start calling Astro Bot and the PS5 Pro reveal "ghosts of PlayStation whatever" in the first place, you ask? I will not be taking questions at this time. Plus Tommy has been back to Nintendo for a preview of Mario Party Jamboree, we talk Peglin, and more besides all of that.🌏 Get Exclusive NordVPN deal here ➼ https://nordvpn.com/filthy It’s risk-free with Nord’s 30-day money-back guarantee! ✌Patreon - every new episode ad-free and a world of bonus podcastsBandcamp Premium EpisodesYouTube - including live streams and Let's PlaysTwitch

We also chat PS5 Pro, why Adam doesn't like Argos, and a whole bunch more.🌏 Get Exclusive NordVPN deal here ➼ https://nordvpn.com/filthy It’s risk-free with Nord’s 30-day money-back guarantee! ✌Patreon - every new episode ad-free and a world of bonus podcastsBandcamp Premium EpisodesYouTube - including live streams and Let's PlaysTwitch
  • Episode 461: Slay the Princess, Arranger

    01:11:14|
    Arrange a time to listen to this episode of Filthy Casuals because quite frankly it's slay. Now that I've repelled people with my cringe use of slang (and a second time by using the word cringe), let me reel you back in by telling you that this episode we've played games like Arranger and Slay the Princess, talk news like Nintendo's latest partner/indie Direct, even more PS5 price increases, plus a ton besides. It's, quite frankly, on fleek.Play Super Dassalo Land and then watch Tommy's stand-up special over at https://www.tommydassalo.com/🌏 Get Exclusive NordVPN deal here ➼ https://nordvpn.com/filthy It’s risk-free with Nord’s 30-day money-back guarantee! ✌Patreon - every new episode ad-free and a world of bonus podcastsBandcamp Premium EpisodesYouTube - including live streams and Let's PlaysTwitch
  • Episode 460: Gamescom 2024 Reveals, Still Wakes the Deep

    01:04:03|
    Games? In Europe? Crazier things have happened! In fact, many crazier things, including us recording a podcast about the games being shown at Gamescom specifically. Video games were around for a long time in Europe prior to the advent of the internet, so my reasoning is that the existence of podcasts, one of the leading formats in this new era of digital media, is in fact crazier than the existence of games in Europe. I hope you can understand how I am seeing things. We talk crazy games like Civilization VII, Monster Hunter Wilds, Borderlands 4 and Mafia: The Old Country, as well as many more. Please enjoy this crazy event.Play Super Dassalo Land and then watch Tommy's stand-up special over at https://www.tommydassalo.com/🌏 Get Exclusive NordVPN deal here ➼ https://nordvpn.com/filthy It’s risk-free with Nord’s 30-day money-back guarantee! ✌Patreon - every new episode ad-free and a world of bonus podcastsBandcamp Premium EpisodesYouTube - including live streams and Let's PlaysTwitch
