Due to the holidays the boys aren't really sure what's going to happen with their recording schedule so they decided to dive into the 10 20 30 a little early this month. Don't worry, it's the same games as if they did it at the end of the month. Enjoy!
The holiday shopping season has begun! This week, Dan and Kris put together their holiday shopping guide for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and beyond, including the current lineup of Flash Carts at stoneagegamer.com. Kris professes his love for Terra Onion’s stuff, Dan professes his love of cheap PS4 games, and they both lament the way Nintendo Switch games never seem to get any cheaper. At the top of the show, Dan didn’t play any games last week, so he talks about all the movies he watched, and his theory on how Joker should be pronounced. Meanwhile, Kris spent more time with the surprisingly impressive Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, gives his first impressions of Katana Zero, and gets caught in the hype for the new Super Mario Maker 2 DLC, the fresh batch of Nintendo Switch Online titles, and more!
It’s Black Friday! It’s also the last Friday of the month, meaning it’s time for the November 10 20 30, where Dan and Kris talk about notable game releases from 10, 20, and 30 years ago this month. November 2009 brought with it some heavy hitters like Assassin’s Creed 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and November 1999 was no slouch either with Cool Boarders 4, Donkey Kong 64, and the very first NBA 2K. November 1989 though, well, Tetris showed up on NES, so that’s something! At the top of the show, Dan and Kris compared notes about preparing for Thanksgiving, including an everlasting love of all things bread. Plus, Kris is done with Bloodstained, Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Deal, Bubsy eBay woes, and more!
Dan and Kris bring their month of thankfulness to a close with Kris’s pick of an often overlooked SNES composer and a rather unexpected choice from Dan. Kris chose to profess his thankfulness for Japanese composer Soyo Oka, the woman behind the music in the original Pilot Wings, Super Mario Kart, Sim City, and Super Mario All-Stars for Super NES. As for Dan’s pick, well, you’ll have to listen to find out. At the top of the show, Dan postulates about what sort of crossover would get Kris to finally play PAD. Has he cracked the code? Then, Kris spent a whole lot more time with Bloodstained, took a trip into the weird world of Old School Musical, Super Mario Maker 2 made a return to near-daily play, and finally, Kris spends some quality time with his favorite bobcat, Bubsy. What did he think of his latest adventure from the creators of the Runner series? Find out now!
Dan and Kris continue their month of thankfulness with another pair of creators that have made their lives better by existing. Dan highlights the career of Jordan Mechner, the visionary behind the Prince of Persia series (and many other things), detailing just how great his games are and what he hopes to see from him in the future. Kris, on the other hand, thanks the fairly secretive Jupiter Corp for his obsession with Picross that’s only grown over time. At the top of the show, Dan talks about that Elton John concert he went to, and dives into his time spent with Disney+. And obviously, some more talk about the goings on in the world of PAD. Kris gives his impressions on Bloodstained on both Switch and PS4, marvels at the engineering behind the Labo Piano, is impressed by New Super Lucky’s Tale, and a whole lot more!
Dan and Kris kick off a month of thankfulness by discussing some of their favorite creators in the video game industry. This week it’s a double dose of Daves with Dan’s pick of God of War creator David Jaffe, and Kris’ pick of Rare composer David Wise. There’s a lot to love about the work these guys have done, and unsurprisingly, Dan and Kris have plenty to say on the subject.
At the top of the show, Dan talks about how Dean got sucked back into PAD, and the potential awesomeness of an upcoming Elton John concert. Meanwhile, Kris answers some listener mail about how to make Final Fantasy VII playable, his time spent on the “new” arcade game Cruis’n Blast from Nintendo and Raw Thrills, the unrelenting awesomeness that is Terry in Smash Bros. Ultimate, and a whole lot more.
Dan and Kris hit the October 10 20 30, discuss the final Star Wars trailer, answer some listener mail, and more!
