Both to not spoil the results for those who missed the induction, and to assure that you've heard the arguments before votin...

The latest run of Don's Discount Gaming sadly comes to an early, yet satisfying close. When will Don strike next? Will he deliver more Discount Gaming, take on a new case, or perhaps a cold case? Only time will tell.

Recently I did a live stream tentatively called "Inside Zelda" where I discussed how relevant the original Zelda's instruction manual was to enjoying and understanding the game. Due to the amount of requests I got to keep doing that type of content (and to turn that stream into a produced episode), I felt it made sense to take another stab at a Zel...

2017-02-20 23:23:39 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
We've been having some nasty camera issues that prevented us from getting Frame Trap to you today. The long and short of it is the camera isn't reliable anymore. Fortunately, Easy Allies has been meaning to buy a new camera for awhile and now that's finally happened. So, what this means is Frame Trap is coming one day later than exp...

My most anticipated game of 2017 is almost here! Post-apocalypse, killer robots, bows and arrows, open-world, towers that walk, I could go on and on. I’m ecstatic to not only have this review finished on time, but to have played so much of it. If a task was marked on the map I checked it off, mostly to get as much XP as possible and try out all t...

Hey everyone. I have another impressions video for you today. It's always fun reporting back on new Dark Souls stuff as well as under-the-radar things you may not have heard of before.
I will say two things, however. My usage of "um", "you know", and "like" is absurd in this video. It happens way too much. Definitely something I'll work on in the...

Hey everyone! Whenever I can, I've been picking away at Dragon Quest VIII on 3DS and I gathered Huber and Blood to talk about it. It's a wonderful version of a classic game and I hope you enjoy our discussion.

Hey Allies!
I always appreciate killing Nazis and Sniper Elite 4 provides a satisfactory distraction amidst all the quality releases of 2017. I didn’t mention it in the review, but the whole game took about 8 hours to complete, perfect for an entertaining weekend. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure! If you'd like to familiarize yourself with the show or manga before the episode premieres on February 28, now is the time to do so!
A convenient place to watch the show is on Crunchyroll and the manga can be easily purchased on Amazon.
The poll for the next anime will be released on February 28 as well.

Phew. This was a long one. I know our Nioh review is coming much later than many of you hoped. It's a big game and I wanted to make sure that I had a thorough understanding of it before writing the script...hence the 14 minutes.
But enough of that. Nioh is great. You should play it. For all of the comparisons to Dark Souls (and they are valid), i...
