Filthy Casuals with Tommy Dassalo, Ben Vernel and Adam Knox

Episode 221: 2020 Preview

"Two thousand and twenty" or "twenty twenty"? I feel like "twenty twenty" is the right one, but does that then mean that all the times we said "two thousand and five" or whatever were wrong? Should it have been "twenty oh five"? Because that sounds wrong to me. I guess it could be the case that we switch over the format partway through the century from "two thousand and nine" to "twenty ten", but I'm bothered by the lack of consistency there and I also remember there being an adjustment period where a lot of people were saying "two thousand and ten". I guess it could be that it's always been both? No, actually, I don't believe that. There has to be one correct way of saying each year or else what are we doing here, y'know? I actually think, for some reason, that it changed in 2012. "Twenty twelve". 2011 was "two thousand eleven", people skipped the "and" as a sort of transitional thing. Don't ask me why it was then or why it happened the way it but, it just did. So it goes: Two thousand, two thousand and one, two thousand and two, two thousand and three, two thousand and four, two thousand and five, two thousand and six, two thousand and seven, two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine, two thousand and ten, two thousand eleven, twenty twelve, twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen and now twenty twenty. Yeah that seems right. Anyway, here's Filthy Casuals.

  • Episode 456: Super Dassalo Land

    01:22:07|
    Something a bit special this week, as we've got a genuine world exclusive video game announcement and preview. We had to pull a lot of strings, but we've managed to land a no-holds-barred interview with video game designer Tommy Dassalo about his new game Super Dassalo Land for the Game Boy Colour. By the way, I'm writing this in sort of a silly way but this is 100% real. Tommy's been working on an honest to goodness video game and we talk to him all about it, its retro design inspirations, the process of creating it, and where does he get his ideas from. All of these hard-hitting questions and more on this week's episode of Filthy Casuals.🌏 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 454: Luigi's Mansion 2 HD, Dwarf Fortress, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess Preview

    01:31:56|
    The Year of Luigi may have been many Dark Moons ago, but the big man in green is back and his definition is high enough that Tommy's gone in to have a look at what Luigi is up to in that Mansion of his. Less high is the definition of the Dwarves in Dwarf Fortress, but still higher than they used to be, and it's been enough to entice Ben to see what they're up to in that mountain of theirs. Kinitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is nearly out too, so we've had a look at what the demo could be up to in that games console of...its? We've got some games to play this week is what I'm saying, as well as some news out of Capcom and Sega about Crazy Taxi going massively multiplayer, Dead Rising going remaster mode and development of Resident Evil 9 going ahead. We talk about all this and more, so come have a listen to what we're up to in that podcast studio of ours.🌏 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 453: Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Review

    01:10:54|
    If an Erdtree falls in the forest, but the one person around to hear it is currently rolling around non-stop, will they be able to hear it? Just one of the thought exercises we get into this week, including examining deep questions such as what would it be like if one were to remaster Yooka-Laylee already? How many demoes of Rift of the Necrodancer and Metal Slug Tactics must a man play before he has played a full game? What is Beyond Good and Evil 2? And a question as old as time: do Ben and Adam like the Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree? Put on your round glasses and get ready to stroke your chin as you listen to another philosophical episode of Filthy Casuals.Patreon - every new episode ad-free and a world of bonus podcasts Bandcamp Premium EpisodesYouTube - including live streams and Let's PlaysTwitch
