I wish we had time to check out more games, but with a short schedule and an unexpected flight delay we came back with just a handful of impressions. What was fortunate was that we got to experience some of these games, like UFO 50 and Steamworld Dig 2, as a group. Feel free to share anything you might have seen at the show that deserves attention....

Hi everybody! I realize that info has been scarce on when EZAnime is returning, but I have good news! The Castle in the Sky episode will premiere on Saturday, September 9. Unfortunately, Huber won't be joining us this time, so it will just be myself and Brad.

On today's Tabletop Escapades, the fight against the Huntress gets increasingly bizarre.

Really sorry that I only really dropped the hints about the next episode of Game Sleuth in the Montly EZA fan mail (those who were on my list) and the random stream here and there, but wanted to make sure everyone sees this so they know what's going on with the new episode.
I actually planned on having this go up sooner in the month rather than l...

Hey everyone, a couple of weeks ago I was fortunate enough to go to Seattle to spend three days with Destiny 2. If you've been listening to EZA/GT for awhile, you know that I've loudly complained about Destiny 1 in the past. It's a game I sunk a fair bit of time into but found myself frustrated by the storytelling and structure.

Blending strategy elements from popular contemporaries with the sarcastic humor of the Rabbids series and the charm of the Mario universe, Kingdom Battle is the result of a beautiful oddball marriage.

Recently I had the chance to spend about an hour with Total War: Warhammer II. More specifically, I got to see what the Skaven race was all about. While it's difficult to grasp everything about a Total War faction in such a limited amount of time, it's clear to me that Warhammer II is a game worth being excited about, even for someone like me who i...

Coming off of last week's heated Hall of Greats induction, it's nice to come back to a normal Group Stream Night, just peacefully enjoying a game and each other's company. It's you who has the difficult decision this week, as this Tuesday brings us three new games that could each easily be a great stream. Our options are:
Hello! This post is late because I was out at the Labyrinth Masquerade, which was jolly good fun and my feet are very tired! You can expect some footage from the event in next week's episode!
