4205 Cast: Recent Episodes
The Kings
Year 4 and we're still here with the video game news and info! Join Andre, Theo, Joe and Chris, with guest appearances from original member Anthoney, and maybe a recurring guest or two
The days go by slow, but the years go by fast. Before we knew it, 2024 was over and we had barely even talked about it. So what did we do? We did it all at once! Dig into this meaty end of year episode and enjoy!Chapters:0:00 - Intro10:45 - Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown12:56 - Palworld18:44 - Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth25:39 - Tekken 849:20 - Mass Layoffs51:32 - Granblue Fantasy: Relink54:45 - Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League1:04:04 - Concord1:12:58 - Persona 3 Reload1:19:22 - Helldivers 21:40:19 - Balatro1:53:55 - Last Epoch2:02:50 - Final Fantasy VII Rebirth2:14:21 - Unicorn Overlord2:18:35 - Dragon's Dogma 22:25:28 - Nintendo 3DS and Wii U online discontinued2:27:02 - Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes2:37:40 - Tales of Kenzera: Zau2:44:13 - Megaton Musashi Wired2:46:35 - Stellar Blade2:52:22 - Hades 22:59:48 - V Rising3:06:01 - Animal Well3:11:55 - Riven Remake3:13:43 - Gestalt: Steam & Cinder3:18:36 - The Rogue Prince of Persia3:20:33 - Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance3:24:55 - Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree3:37:53 - Zenless Zone Zero3:40:39 - The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak3:55:18 - Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess4:04:44 - SVC Chaos4:11:44 - Black Myth: Wukong4:17:35 - Core Keeper4:18:38 - Castlevania Dominus Collection4:30:00 - Peglin4:30:29 - Visions of Mana4:37:46 - Astro Bot4:43:24 - Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 24:48:27 - Satisfactory5:01:00 - Marvel Vs.

We're back! For a while, anyway! We just had to talk about Metroid Dread so we made a video chock-full-of spoilers about it! The consensus? We liked it! How much did we like it, and what did we enjoy about it? What were out most memorable parts about Metroid 5. Check it out in the Spoiler Warning!

As someone more famous than we has said, and as we have quoted said person, "There is nothing new under the sun." Sure, but as someone else once famously said, "If I haven't seen it, it's new to me!" 25 years of Pokémon and millions of people are still playing. Remakes and reimaginings of both Pokémon and Final Fantasy have us talking about a lifetime of experiences with both and what future generations can expect!

Shatter all expectations! About Gamestop anyway, maybe your Xbox Live subscription. Well, maybe not that second one so much yet, but that didn't stop Microsoft from dipping their foot into the water where ripples become waves this week in video game money. This and our first impressions and expectations for KOF XV!

2020 is over, and nobody is sad to see it go. Video games were more popular than ever, though, and a lot has happened while nothing was happening. We'll talk about the significance of what 2020 brought to the gaming table and what saved us from going completely crazy!

Our guest and legal correspondent, Dylan, joins us for the full recording tonight to set the record straight on the what this actually means. All this and more this week on THE 4205 Cast!

The dust has settled and the big launches have come and gone, the new normal awaits us. With everything new behind us already, what else is there for us to expect? Square and Capcom have some hints about what to expect, though unwillingly in Capcom's case. Interest and confusion follows! Come and see just what about!

Games in peril! Developers in crisis! Directors departing! Par for the course it seems, the new normal! Cyberpunk 2077 goes back ANOTHER month, and some problems on the floor of Halo: Infinite. Also, hot off the heels of overshadowing Intel and the 30 series sales debacle, AMD muscles up to Nvidia with their own competitive GPUs. Seems like the future of gaming is always exactly one month away! All this and plenty of arguments this week on THE 4205 Cast!

The full team is back again, ready to talk about the stir crazy times that got us through September. We're one more month through 2020 and September laid the foundation for what to expect in November, but the news isn't done pouring in yet. Not to be outdone by Sony, Microsoft lands a big exclusive acquisition for their gaming platforms. What implications does this have going forward? What price is too high to keep things under one banner, and how far does it go?

Announcements and anniversaries! Adventuring, aliens and avenging! Assorted additional alliterative A words! AMD not among them, as the week was dominated by talk of the new Nvidia RTX 30 series, headlined by the big hoss RTX 3090. PC gaming just got an upgrade! Also a surprise from Nintendo, a limited edition Mario 35th anniversary event. We'll run down the full list of stuff!

Exciting new things on the horizon, DC FanDome dropped some really promising trailers and our resident comic guy tells us why we should care. We've also got Gamescom 2020, hear what we're looking forward to most! In the meantime, we've settled in with our some great games with great stories, and huge hardware upgrades to look for!

Epic fires a rebellious and ambitious first shot at Apple and Google's distribution platforms with the aim of taking them to court, trying to position themselves as champion of the people! Also, a departure at Capcom catches us a bit off guard. This week we've got Chris, Joe and Theo on the show discussing Undertale, Risk of Rain 2 and Civilization 6.

Money money money. Everyone's got a price, but it's never $0. One company throws millions for the "advantage" and another doesn't have any to give at all. Work through the dog days of summer with us as we discuss our weekly gaming struggle as well as money being (or not being) tossed around in the gaming industry!
The video version of this episode can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKidBGem0Y4
An invasion into Nintendo's data store got a lot of press (and some personal information) and with it came some insight into past Nintendo projects. Theo also invades a 3DS to try and fix it, jumping through many hoops to do so. Take a look inside!

The next generation console cold war continues to meander on like a staring contest. Both sides waiting for the other to blink, neither giving an inch. Microsoft lobs their pitch out this week giving us an idea of what we can expect on the XBox Series X and Game Pass. What'd we think, and what are we doing in the meantime?
Video version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKxpOsX3TYI&t=872s
Sometimes you just need to feel at home, even when you're already stuck at home. Metaphorically sink into your couch while sinking into your couch. Finding new loves with old joys keeps the love of the game intact. We also give our solidly honest opinions about the complete cancellation of EVO and the future it may have.

The Summer Gaming continues with lots of juicy news and previews coming in at a very satisfying rate. Following EA Play, we catch up on our gaming and show a lot of optimism from what we're seeing. How good is it?
After 75 minutes of PlayStation 5 news and game reveals, we've taken a couple of hours to talk about it. Take some time with us to explore our thoughts on the "future of gaming" following Sony's presentation of what to expect on their new console!
Video version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YydiFyDQul0
On lock-down and under curfew, we're going into full completion mode on our stuff. We figuratively work the meat of our games to the bone and we've got an episode to talk about it!

Hindsight, much like the current year, is 20/20. Some more news about how can one movie do so much damage, and change the direction of an entire company to where it is today. How much could have changed without it?
Oh, the pitfalls of always online! This week we discuss (and experience) how moving into online events can be good and/or bad for the gaming world. Also, initial thoughts on Streets of Rage 4, Trials of Mana and Animal Crossing anecdotes!
Video version can be viewed on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6e8Upiw5g80
Spoilers ahead! Join us for our summary discussion of the Final Fantasy VII remake and everything it means (or could mean)!
Video games are a way of life these days. With all this time on our hands, we're delving into new things we've sworn off or thought we'd never do, and we've got a lot of it. Then, FF7 Remake comes down the pipeline and it's the biggest thing going today,

A small gathering and a brief preview of what's coming gets us through this week, but there are still frustrations to vent and illnesses to overcome!

From many miles away, some sounds crawl to the surface! We're in the middle of lockdown central but we've got a months worth of games to talk about, as well as desperate corporate arrogance!
This is the audio recorded from a video session we did, so you'll hear references to visual stuff. The video episode can be found here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=247iF83awPU
Flip it! We've taken some easy to remember NES songs and made them tough to identify just from reversing them! We'll try to figure out what they are!
With 2019 firmly behind us, we take a look further into this year and highlight some of our more anticipated upcoming titles.
On our 4 year anniversary we observe a yearly tradition by discussing the Evo 2020 game list, with a major title being reintroduced into the lineup!
2020 has some promising titles, but it looks like they won't be out as soon as we thought. How does that impact the new consoles coming this year? Or is it the other way around?
In our first episode of 2020, we take the time to talk about our favorite game of 2019.
Happy Holidays from THE 4205 Cast! This week, we're rejoined by special guest Josh and he poses a very brief but poignant question. Speculate with us and submit your own "What if" scenario to us at 4205Cast@gmail.com!
We conclude our 30 Years of Greatness ranking with the final 10 games of the past 30 years.
The Playstation released in 1994, 25 years later we recount their experiences and the games of that generation that ultimately shaped us into the gamers we are today. As well divulge some scandalous acts of teenage mischief!
Death Stranding is weird. Pokémon is good and Google Stadia is a disaster. And for news that's less believable, Valve announced a new Half-life game.
We have new games, comic's and a drowsy daddy on this weeks episode. We also talk about BlizzCon '19. Was it the dumpster fire we all thought it'd be?
ARPGs, CRPGs, JRPGs, oh my! We talk about a bunch of RPGs including the newly released Fallout-like first-person RPG, The Outer Worlds. Death Stranding's getting a PC release, Blizzcon's going to be interesting and the Playstation 4 is doing pretty OK.
Google is making some bold claims when it comes to Google Stadia, are we buying them? Will anyone? Kickstarter may be a more profitable venture, especially when on the heels of a popular franchise!
Next Gen is quickly approaching and Sony is the first to send out warning shots via a Wired.com exclusive. Also, much to everyone's surprise, Rockstar announces that RDR2 is coming to PC via their launcher and lastly there's some unfortunate news regarding Blizzard Entertainment and a Pro Hearthstone player.
After a two week hiatus, we have a packed whatcha' been playing in store with titles such as Sayonara Wild Hearts, Noita and Link's Awakening! We also talk about the ever changing economy of video games.
Between talking about all new games, DreamCast's 20th Anniversary and a packed Nintendo Direct, we have a pretty meaty one for you all.
New video games have started to come out and we definitely aren't talking about any of them. What we do end up talking about is everything under the sun, including the return of the Foodie205.
After the devastating layoffs at Game Informer, we talk about gaming magazines on a whole and the future of the medium.
With Fire Emblem Three Houses is still on the brain, we wonder what other big releases are coming out for the rest of the year.
Fire Emblem Three Houses is finally out and we wonder what's the best house and why it's the Golden Deer. Also, Chris is back from the beautiful Las Vegas to talk in depth about his time at Evo.
The newest expansion for #FFXIV - #Shadowbringers - is out and we have our resident Warriors of Light to talk about what's new in Eorzea. Also, #Nintendo announced a new handheld... sorta.
Celebrate Episode 150 with us as we revisit some of our past #trivia bits! Thanks to our listeners & contributors over the 3+ years @Nexeus, @ThursdayKetchup, @PhantomRyu, @XPenDaBull1 and more who may or may not use the tweeter

Theo’s back, so we can talk about the nonsense that is Hideo Kojima’s new game – Death Stranding. There was also a Pokémon Sword and Shield Direct today which was dy-no-max! Lastly, we talk about E3 hype… or lack thereof.
Both our engineers are down for the three count tonight, so excuse the botch in recording. We carry it as best as we could, even try to no-sell it a few times but all in all, we have a pretty clean finish.
It’s been zero seconds since our last… ah, you know the rest.
Join us as we take on the herculean task of ranking the top 20 games of the last 30 years. But before that, we need to decide as a group what even belongs on said list.
No sweat... right?
Bonus Here's a link to a VoD of Joe and Theo playing Portal 2's excellent co-op mode: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/426185518
The warden's out sick, so what do we do? Riot!
Join us this week as the inmates talk about Dragon's Dogma on the Switch, Breath of the Wild and Katana Zero. Also, Sony did a direct and showed off FFVII-Remake... again, PlatinumGames is to start publishing their own games and the Government coming for your loot boxes.
Be warned for the spoilers within for Avengers: Endgame. This time the spoiler episode features E V E R Y O N E. We have assembled our Avengers. There are spoilers.
Believe us before you listen and save money watching the movie (because you won't need to watch it after hearing this)
A fan email, 2019 not getting it done, Sony giving the whiners what they want, and cardboard box VR. Sounds like a diverse slate on today's episode
Jason Schreier has once again gone into a deep dive of a game's development, shining the light on Anthem's troubled production, and we get to talk about that! Also Sega, Borderlands, and no one playing anything new at all!
Shoutout to John Fromwork for the new mixer! Check out his podcast here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Podcast/Amazing-Tales-Podcast-255120285368066/
Apple can't let anyone have nice things, so they decided to stomp all over the Google Stadia in a strong preemptive attack. Also, Switch rumors reported by the Wall Street Journal (what a world we live in), Sony putting their crowd to sleep, and Now Playing featuring Sekiro, Devil May Cry, FF7 and more
Be warned for the spoilers within for Devil May Cry 5. This time the spoiler episode features Joe, Chris, Theo, and Andre. There are spoilers.
Believe us before you get ruined
The old dudes talk about old games that are coming out again: World of Warcraft Classic and Halo: Master Chief Collection on Steam
We're back after newspocalypse, and having missed a recording week because of the stream, we had to go back a bit and talk about Reggie leaving Nintendo, the Pokemon reveal and our annual Evo talk. We're also joined by Andrew from Thursday Ketchup (RIP) for our remote recording.
Jumping on the Battle Royale fad, we play Apex Legends and wonder why EA seemed to sabotage Anthem. And, farewell to the PSVita. Also discussed is Wargroove, Tetris 99, and Yakuza 0
The Nintendo Direct gets 4 out of 5 crowns showing off a new Tetris, Fire Emblem, Astral Chain, Mario Maker 2, and more!
Capcom made some money with Monster Hunter! Also, Apex Legends dropped and has interested some old farts that don't really like battle royale games. Tune in for some Red Dead, Dragon Marked for Death, Dragon Ball Fighterz, Kingdom Hearts 3, Octopath Traveler
Another week with the three old dudes, plus we somehow manage to get Metroid Prime 4 in the episode despite the news breaking the morning after recording.
The Pinkerton Detective Agency does not appreciate their unpaid appearance in RDR2. Wait, they're actually real? Yup! And now they're suing Take 2 over their usage in the game. Also, EA tanks another Star Wars game, Mortal Kombat 11 new reveals, and old dudes playing old games again
The oldest members of the cast get it done this week, by not playing anything new, but instead visiting Path of Exile, Final Fantasy 6, Trails of Cold Steel and Under Night [incomprehensible subtitle]. Plus our take on Gamestop's financial troubles, and the Bungie-Activision split, featuring our resident attorney Dylan.
We stack up ALL (okay, most) of 2018's game releases and see what earned our game of the year, and what was most disappointing to us
On what was supposed to be a live stream + podcast recording, we ended up a bit of a discussion and live reaction on tape delay only. Take a listen to our (failed-ish?) experiment
Toady is an extended Now Playing session that covers Diablo on the Switch, Tetris Effect, Moonlighter, and Red Dead Redemption 2. News bits cover the passing of Stan Lee, the Inside XBox event, and Sony skipping out on E3 2019
Two highly disappointing pieces of news were the focal point of this episode. The departure of Hajime Tabata from Square Enix, which ends the future FF15 DLC plans, and the ill-timed announcement of a Diablo cellphone game at Blizzcon
There's a lot to unpack in this one. Castlevania, Cross Code, Red Dead Redemption 2, a new "Classic" edition console with very little Classic actually on it, and a game starring a ton of classic characters getting its last reveals
What happens after a wedding? Relatively no games being played. Thankfully, Call of Duty and Red Dead Redemption are out or nearly out, giving us plenty to talk about.
We take another shot at the dumb gameshow idea before we run to Thursday Ketchup to have our ideas for us. Can the Castmembers figure out these translation jumble?
The end of Telltale Games coinciding with Andre's zombie juice adventures. Also: Nintendo Switch new hardware? And now playing featuring Dragon Quest XI, Tekken 7, CrossCode, contaminated water, and Timespinner
Don't ever allow us to record on a Wednesday again. (Listen for Spider-Man, Dragon Quest XI, Link to the Past Randomizer, FF4 Free Enterprise, Nintendo's Online Service, and the PlayStation Classic)
On today's filler episode we talk about the All In wrestling event, Rusev Day, and some games. Yeah, we talked about games. We're a gaming podcast.
Theo has problems talking, Joe has problems dealing with musical transitions, and Andre has problems dealing with it. When things work out, we talk about the upcoming fall gaming season.
Well. This is awkward. Andre handled recording, so of course things are messed up (SORRY!), three normal members are missing, and we ended up talking about SummerSlam wrestling predictions. What is even happening? Take a listen as Andre and Joe are joined by PhantomRyu and Jixson from the Zelda Link to the Past Randomizer community to figure things out
Passion, Destiny 2, passion, Final Fantasy 15, passion Mega Man X Legacy Collection, passion, Overwatch, passion.
Such passion. Wow.
Megaman X7 is bad y'all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOeTuSqx5ms
Chris wasn't on air for Episode 111, but he was still getting it done. Listen to this quick take life from the floor of SDCC2018
On a bit of a meandering road, we tackle some Enter the Gungeon, Octopath Traveller, BlazBlue, Star Citizen, and resolve what exactly happened at the close of the last episode after the snap.
Anthoney wanted to talk about what was going on with Darksiders. If you ever wanted to spend 400 bucks on a lot of random things, Darksiders 3 may be the special edition for you!
A bit of a Metroidvania tilt on this episode as old men talk about old games, their longing desire for sleep, and math.
Part 2 of our massive E3 2018 coverage Square - 00:00:30 Ubi - 00:15:20 Sony - 00:49:58 Nintendo - 01:29:37
Strap in. E3 was so dense it took us an week and two tracks to cover it.
EA: 00:01:45 Microsoft: 00:30:15 Bethesda: 01:39:00 Devolver Digital: 02:18:00
Our annual E3 predictions episode, posted halfway into E3 because we're rebels like that.
It feels weird to think about it, but Parasite Eve is 20 years old this year. We're kicking off our new series, "Used Games Only," with this Playstation era Square RPG that oozes confidence, among other things.
I don't even remember what happened on this episode.
(Wizard of Legend, God of War, FF15, Call of Duty Black Ops 4, EVO Japan, nonsensical near-sleep rambling)
So our plans for this week got destroyed. So since we had nothing to actually talk about, we decided to actually sit down for a bit and let you all know what we're up to, some changes to our format and weekly plans (no we're not going anywhere).
Also Nintendo's online plan for the Switch.
Our very first Spoiler Warning episode was released almost two years ago and that subject matter was a comic book movie war. Proving there's nothing new under the moon, we bring you the latest Spoiler Warning episode about Marvel's newest epic.
Spoilers await you inside for Avengers: Infinity War.
The 4205 Cast will return.
No spoilers in the description! We talk about Anthoney getting his hands on God of War a bit early and everyone runs out their #GameStruck4 list.
Miss us?
Dragon Ball knocked the cast off air for a week, but we're back with MORE DRAGON BALL! We kid, we actually talk about God of War, Halo, and Microsoft's abysmal first party support for their system.
These dudes finally got together and managed to talk about an anime for an entire episode. Welcome Anthoney to his first Spoiler Warning episode and get that Andre loser out of here.
The cast goes all out on Dragon Ball Super, and other Dragon Ball tidbits. There are spoilers within. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
The 4205 formation of crotchety old men discuss bowling games with a fighting mini-game, anime with a fighting mini-game, a shipping simulator with a shooter mini-game, and new newly freed from NDA Magic the Gathering: Arena. Andre tried to quit early, but as a great wrestler recently said, if you fight for your dreams; your dreams will fight for you!
We start off the second century of the cast with the return of Foodie205 cast featuring Super Mario Cereal, and answer some of our left-over trivia questions from our episode 100 livestream. Also, in actual video game news, The Witcher himself, Geralt will be in Soulcalibur 6!
Well, despite promises that we wouldn't try in Episode 99, we decided to give it a shot, and bring you a new edition of #Foodie205, and build a few games in a thought project.
Well, we're in a February slump, where the news is light and the releases are spread thin, but we managed to talk about a nice potpourri of things, based around throwbacks, remakes, remasters, fun, and prosciutto balls.
*music via Toyler Eber on YourTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_lFb-Pq_uk
In what can be described as our first actual "tradition," we hit our annual review of the games that will be present at Evolution 2018, and ask the eternal question, "When's MAHVEL?" (spoilers: the question should be "Where's MAHVEL?" because it's not at Evo.)
Try as he might, Andre could not stop the oncoming wave of content that makes him sick. Listen in for Dragon Ball Fighterz, Monster Hunter, news about the the Nintendo Switch's dominance, and other items from the past week.
Roguelikes galore. From our recent heavy playing of Dead Cells, in addition to Binding of Isaac, and recent newcomer Slay the Spire, we've gone RNG crazy, so we're going to talk about it for a bit if you don't mind.
Also, God of War news, and some Nintendo tidbits.
We took at trip to Carnegie Hall to attend the Distant Worlds Final Fantasy concert. Spoilers: we loved it. Hear us gush about the experience on today's episode.
A far cry from our "Optimism in 2017" episode, we're starting from a pretty high point from a stellar year in gaming, and we have a lot to look forward to in the year to come. Will 2018 keep the ball rolling? Will we have a 5-man cast for more than one week in a row? So many questions.
2017 was a pretty damn good year for gaming, and drastically better than 2016.
It wasn't all peaches and roses, so here is our year in review, discussing the good, the bad, and the ugly of 2017.
Do you want to win a gaming gift card that's well over $50? How much is it? You gotta listen! All you gotta do is go to our Twitter page to retweet and like this episode's posting up until 1/1/2018 12:01AM EST to enter.
Today, we engage in a little conversation concerning the importance of art direction and why it's more important to have a strong art style than simply having impressive technical graphics.
Also a lot of Xenoblade 2 and Capcom news.
audio credit for ending from moemoemafia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNW93w8BLhc
2017 has been a pretty damn good year for gaming!
Some of the year's heavy hitters duked it out at Geoff Keighley's Game Awards for the coveted first place spoty and life lessons about the Oscars. We've got the recap right here
We can break this episode up into two halves. First, our escapades on the Thursday Ketchup live tour, and second, when we get a little more serious than normal and hit the net neutrality topic.
Getting your net chopped up is a bad deal.
We know, we know. We've been beating the DLC paywall storyline for a long time now, but there was no way we couldn't talk about the Star Wars Battlefront 2 saga, faux mea culpa, and oddly worded reversal.
Be warned for the spoilers within this jam packed Super Mario Odyssey spoiler episode featuring Theo and Andre. There are spoilers.
Believe us.
Also a we fit in little Xenoblade Chronicles 2 talk at the end.
We're not going to make the "winter is coming" joke. We're just going to talk about Blizzcon and some of the info revealed at the event. Also, EA acquires a new studio to shut down in 5 or so years, and Joe finally finds a game he likes!
Who knows what you're going to get on our episode that basically just evolved from a mic test that never ended.
There's games talk in there somewhere.
*Joe overrode his own title "Frankensode" with the current title
A fire, a hospital visit, a wedding and a studio closure walk into a bar.
Check out the episode for the punchline, as well as our opinion sustainability of AAA development and the current DLC paradigm, based off the fact we have possibly lost the single-player Star Wars game being developed by Visceral.
Rejoining the world after our Canadian Thanksgiving, our Now Playing list sported a couple games that we weren't expecting to exist, be good, or be relevant. After, we take a look at some of our pleasant surprises that hit out of left field.
We're still all over Samus Returns and Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite, so we go a bit more in-depth on those titles before touching on October releases and the Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer.
After some big name releases, we took an extended "What are you playing?" segment and turned it into a full episode. We've got looks at Mario + Rabbids, NBA2K18, Destiny 2, Metroid: Samus Returns, and Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite.
Join us for a full recap of the most recent Nintendo Direct (8/13/17), and a lot of unfortunate 80s references.
Business is about to pick up as we enter the fall season of gaming, so we go over some of what is piquing our interests for the upcoming Q4.
(DRAGONBALL SUPER GIVEAWAY FINAL WEEK - LISTEN FOR INFO) Gaming summer officially ended August 29th, and now the heavy punches will start to land. We hit the news this week to cover the Nindies showcase, some Capcom tidbits, and the most official Halflife fanfiction that has ever existed.
(DRAGONBALL SUPER GIVEAWAY WEEK 4 - LISTEN FOR INFO) As a good way to close out August, we were treated to the European E3, putting the fourth E into play and shoring up some near future gaming news. Tune in for the rundown!
Spoiler Warning episode number 5 (Yes, number 5). In this episode Theo and Joe talk about Netflix's latest original series - Marvel's The Defenders. We talk about our dislikes, likes and a bit more dislikes. So listen up and as always, there will be spoilers.
(DRAGONBALL SUPER GIVEAWAY WEEK 3 - LISTEN FOR INFO) Sonic is back, and he may be having his best outing since the Genesis, so we decided to give it a throw around to see what happened to make the original formula, barely changed, as appealing in 2017 as it was in 1991.
(DRAGONBALL SUPER GIVEAWAY WEEK 2 - LISTEN FOR INFO) DLC is, at this point, an accepted part of the gaming landscape. Loot boxes are essentially accepted as well. Now, we're starting to see more loot boxes that contain actual content in them in the form of usable items and unlockables than purely cosmetics. We don't like this one bit.
(GIVEAWAY WEEK 1 - LISTEN FOR INFO) Pac Man Vs. has finally been re-released, and it's high time the couch-based multiplayer format comes back! Also, we are giving away a Blu-Ray copy of the first 13 episodes of Dragon Ball Super. Listen in for the contest. US shipping only
On today's episode, Theo finally finishes Persona 5, we discuss the August releases, and we debut a new segment that may or may not have nothing to do with Star Ocean.
Well, Chris was on, so we had to talk about fighting games, right? Evolution 2017 crowned Street Fighter veteran Tokido as champion, nearly saw ChrisG repeat as Marvel 3 champ, but fall short, a glorious showing out of Tekken 7, and provided an amazing finish to Smash 4. With so much action, there was no doubt that we'd be talking about Evo.
Our next Spoiler Warning episode is not only just our normal SW review, but also a bookend on our FF Retrospective series. Also, an effort to shut up about FF14 on the standard episodes. We cover FF14 from beginning to end here, so take a listen and enjoy!
We're back after the holiday, and we needed to address what Nintendo recently revealed about Super Mario Odyssey. No extra lives, no game overs? Are these systems still needed? Is it important to have a strong price of failure?
On this episode we decided to touch on a bit of E3 news that we didn't cover last week, along with a tangent story: the Bethesda Creation Club, which is a function to monetize mods. Is this a direction we are destined to go toward in the industry? Also, new expansion of FF14, a metric ton of Dragon Ball, and one singular tree. *Apologies for the audio issues for the first 15 minutes
It's E3 and we have a ton of stuff to talk about. So let's just get right into it. Here are some timestamps: EA: 00:03:49 Microsoft: 00:25:55 Bethesda: 01:22:00 Ubisoft: 01:37:00 Sony: 02:03:00 Nintendo: 02:43:24
The great swamis of the 4205 Cast tell you exactly what to expect at E3 2017 with several predictions that will be wrong. Take a listen and grade us on our absurdity
There is a certain bit of irony in the decision to speak on communication when the host is so sick that can barely perform his function, but that's how we roll. Contained therein: Nintendo Switch Online Service and the voice chat boondoggle, June releases, and various Square Enix news with the FF7 Remake delay, Lost Sphear aka Setsuna 2, and releasing the Hitman franchise.
On today's show we mull over some Pre E3 news bits, with Destiny 2's lack of dedicated servers taking top billing. Also, Nintendo's stock heading up, Red Dead Redemption 2's delay into 2018, a new game show, and a guest star who shows his dedication.
Is it a fancy dinner?
On this bonus episode, Andrew from Thursday Ketchup and Fitz from the Crunchy Duck Gamers join 4205's Andre on the greatest collaboration known to man that will destroy all chances of future collaborations being anything more than adequate.
We're late due to computer issues! Today we examine the relevancy of E3 in light of companies being able to distribute news à la carte. E3 has struck back by making the event open to the public for the first time, attempting to turn it into the de facto "video game con." Does this help or hurt E3's future?
Due to Microsoft's revelation of a new VR controller, we decided to quickly revisit the virtual reality topic. What has changed in the year since we first discussed it. Also, personal MMO successes and failures, and kimodo dragons?
News about Darksiders 3 got us thinking about where open world games came from, where they are now, and our feelings on the state of the mega-genre. What has gone right or wrong in recent times? Plus, Star Wars day and Video Game Hall of Fame entrants.
The "3"DS is proving to be quite the resilient piece of hardware as it refuses to surrender in the light of the Switch attempting to take over the handheld market. In a rare case of breaking news landing on our laps as we record, we touch on the New 2DS XL, as well as some bits of Capcom news and May releases.
There will be spoilers in this episode. You will have MANY times to bail if you click play and you're unprepared. Theo and Andre break down the newest entrant into the Zelda franchise including a bunch of stuff we did not know we could do.
In a bit of a revisit of Episode 6, we discuss the current trend of remaking and porting older titles to current generations, as well as the development of games that purposely try and hit the nostalgia button.
Apologies for the sound quality, but we lost our pro for the day.
Never ones to stay away from bizarre news cycles, Nintendo discontinues the NES Classic, puts out a Russia-only (as of this time) Switch bundle, hosts a Nintendo Direct that doesn't build a Virtual Console on the back of cancelled NES Classic, and manages to sell more copies of Zelda than Switch units. When you figure out what's going on here, please let us know.
We're back after a week off to give the people what they want: a new episode! April has brought some Destiny 2 news along with XB1's Project Scorpio, as well as the western release of Persona 5.
Also, Joe had a guest spot on Thursday Ketchup, so check them out @ThursdayKetchup on Twitter, and on iTunes and Stitcher.

We still play Zelda, Zelda-likes, and open world games overshadowed by Zelda. Somewhere in there we mange to address a couple of listener questions as our main topic of discussion: The XBox exclusive library that catapulted Microsoft into a powerful position is now at the weakest it has ever been. What happened and where does MS go from here?
On a question posed to us from one of our contest entries, we tackle the topic of gaming's future, and if the Switch has started a new console revolution. Is Cloud Gaming the next step?
*The Future Freaks Me Out, but don't ask for any royalties in stealing the title from MCS
We've been blessed with the Nintendo Switch, aka The New Face of Zelda Playing Methods. Take a listen to find out our thoughts on Nintendo's newest hardware and the forced purchase newest software for it.
On the heels of the Switch launch, we take a look at previous generations' launch titles and our memories on those games. Launches are generally considered to be the weakest point in a console's life, but we were surprised by a couple. Warning - long episode!
Welcome back! On this episode we speak on the card game Boss Monster, and our fun with it before tacking some Nintendo news bits and a more in-depth conversation about the importance of Byuu's odyssey to archive SNES games
2017 has started off pretty well between Resident Evil, For Honor and Nioh, and actually looks pretty good down the line. Take a listen for what we are looking forward to in the new year (psst... Zelda is one)
A quick note that our giveaway contest has been extended to March 3. Please see the pinned message on our facebook page for details
On the 52nd* episode, we debut the new logo and tackle a bunch of news items that we were delayed in getting to due to life getting in the way. Tune in for information on the announced Castlevania Netflix series, the NBA launching their own eLeague, and the latest GameStop controversy.
*No comics were used, referenced, or harmed in the making of this episode
Theo just started recording and we just went with it. We just wanted to go in and talk about nothing in particular. A less regimented discussion closer to our off-mic interactions.
Our top gaming picks for 2016. What did the grumpy old men at the table, Joe and Anthoney (??), actually like this year? Anything at all...? crickets
There will be spoilers in this episode. You will have MANY times to bail if you click play and you're unprepared. Theo and Andre break down the fifteenth installment of the popular series, and then look forward to the prospects of FF16 and beyond based on the expectations set by this title.
The cast returns from holiday, and we were considering a Game of the Year episode, but that had to wait because when Nintendo talks, the gaming world listens. The Nintendo Switch got a huge conference detailing release dates, system information (those controllers are small!), and games. Take a listen to our reactions, and stay tuned after that to hear a quick gameshow: "Real or Fake"
Take a listen to our Christmas special--where we examine what would be different about certain aspects of gaming if there was a crucial component missing, in the vein of "It's a Wonderful Life."
In a week full of news, Marvel vs Capcom Infinite and Last of Us Part 2 shined the brightest. But we got an unexpected party crasher in fifteen year old game. Yes, Joe has finally found something to play with Vagrant Story--but the challenge is still for you to name a contemporary game for him to play!

We're back with yet another awesome episode of the cast! As American Thanksgiving approaches, we decided to feast on gaming's biggest turkeys. We cover everything from Tingle to Dan Hibiki. Take a listen and let us know if we left off your call for gaming's biggest turkey!
Something happened last week... We didn't really get to do much game playing and the new games haven't hit us yet. The blahs were threatening to overtake us all, but heroically, we fought back with Blizzcon news and the games we use to dig out of slumps.
On this episode we take an extended Now Playing in the way of mini reviews for three recently released games: Dragonball Xenoverse 2, Titanfall 2, and Civilization 6.

Buyer's remorse strikes the gaming world hard, as we recount some of our more questionable (non-refunded) decisions. Also, several items surrounding the recent Nintendo Direct. Take a listen!

Big name release No Man's Sky hops to the forefront this week, as the discussion turns toward titles that received more than their fair share of pre-release (over)hype. This time, as we're sure most would agree, it has not worked out well for this specific title, but how often has it worked for other titles? Take a listen and find out!
Happy birthday to Samus Aran, the ass-kickingest bounty hunter that ever hunted a bounty! On this episode, we run through the Metroid series talking about the highs and lows of Nintendo's oft-neglected third pillar.

On this week's episode, the 3DS and Vita get hacked, Tokyo RPG Factory posts a loss, (another) I Am Setsuna wrapup, Nintendo Power finding its way onto archive.org, and the aforementioned hacks and emulation which the hacks are generally used for.
You know what? We were a storm of negativity in the last episode, so we fixed that right up by discussing the opposite topic this week--low expectations that ended up over delivering. Also included for your listening pleasure, the I Am Setsuna wrapup and some juicy, juicy Nintendo NX rumors.
You never know what to expect when you pick up that new game. You don't know who's going to go far in the tourney. A few things this week had us wondering if we thought we knew what we were doing. Hell, the plans even changed mid-episode! Join us as we manage our expectations about I Am Setsuna., Street Fighter 5, and the Evolution 2016 Championships

4205 Episode Plot Synopsis: Joe wants to do a cold open, and actually mention the word "cold" in it. Andre is annoyed that it made it to cut, while Theo plans how to further integrate weird music into episodes.

Apologies for the sub-standard audio quality. Two out of the three recording channels were corrupted, and we were only able to salvage Theo's mic.
Leaks, Drakes, Boktai's, oh my! This week we're a crew without a captain. As Dre sets off to the Orange State for much needed R&R, we stay behind and talk about the newly released Overwatch, the reception its received and what value means to you in video games. Also, we throw a house party... Weekend at Bernie's style!
The Fraternity of Kappa Kappa Kappa has taken over the gaming world. Twitch is essentially inseparable from any current gaming talk, so the Cast now examines another angle of passive entertainment from gaming: Twitch.tv
We do something a little different in this episode -- talk completely off topic about something other than video games! Wait, actually that's not that different from our regular episodes. Join the 4205 crew in our Civil War SpoilerCast where we talk about our impressions, likes, dislikes and most importantly, hot Aunt May!
A video game movie trailer that actually looks good? Disney puts a stop to Disney Infinity? Chris is back!? A lot of unexpected events happen this week, but you know what's almost always expected? Movies based off of video games to be terrible! This week listen to the 4205 crew talk about the high and many lows of video game movies.
Today's topic of discussion, which flies straight in the face of Episode 6, is about game franchises that we feel need a sequel or games that are actual deserving of a remake. We had a bit of an extended introduction as we welcome Nina (@RGBHive) on the Episode.
Nintendo was in the news a lot this week. When one of the biggest names in the history of gaming starts making moves, you'd better believe the 4205 Cast will be there to discuss!
Sometimes you just gotta settle into a long riveting session of Candy Crush. Find out the Cast's feelings on the casual vs. hardcore debate. Also, we touch on some Hyper Light Drifter difficulty controversy, Red Dead Redemption 2 rumors, and Gamestop entering the publishing realm.
We haven't gotten our retirement watches yet, so that means we can talk about the ever popular difficulty vs. accessibility debate in gaming.
Today the Cast welcomes in Leo as a relief pitcher for Anthoney! We go over Quantum Break, a musical adventure in mobile gaming, and how it's possible for a California elected official to spend over 1000 bucks on Steam with public money. Also, we complete the (totally above board not rigged) tournament started in Episode 11. And the winner is...
Chris graces us with his presence so that we may have the ULTIMATE TOURNAMENT OF ALL ULTIMATENESS. And the host gets punked out. What else do you need in an episode?
Has the idea of an upgradable console ever worked? Will it work now? The Kings question the New 3DS, the rumored PS4.5 and the vague Microsoft "upgradable" console. Oh yeah, it's also our tenth episode. Yay us!
GDC dropped a lot of VR news, and the Kings shall pontificate on this development. Also, we answer a listener question and speak on the Microsoft announcement of their cross play strategy.
Today the Kings ponder what it means to be warmed over death, and translate that into fighting bosses.
We get the crew together to answer YOUR questions about Zelda and comment on your comments and stories. Thank you for your help peeps!
As an added bonus, if you wish to listen to the non-clipshow version of Episode 6 (https://soundcloud.com/4205-cast/episode-006a-supa-hot-fire-remasta-remix), here it is!
What happens when the engineer takes a night off? He gets remixed in. Oh yeah, we also talk about March games, remasters and remakes, and a comic book movie. Good job missing it Theo!
Anthoney and Chris take a night off and leave the PC guys alone. Sounds like a huge mistake
[Unfortunately, we had a catastrophic system failure about 57 minutes into the cast. We were able to recover our recording, but we were unable to correctly configure after recovery. Our apologies for the noticeable decline in quality after that point.]
You got to hear our one-on-one interviews, now get to know us as a whole a little bit better
The host gets his seat stolen and the interview game is flipped on him. 4205 Cast member Andre fends off the assault
Initial test of the 4205 Cast featuring a bunch of unknowns who love to talk about gaming
