Welcome to 2026 & a brand new look for the podcast (The Video Edition at least)! Episode 202 is here & we have Jeremy, Stephen, Chase, & Chris all together to talk about 2025 subjects like our favorite games (along with bad experiences), then diving into 2026 with what games we are looking forward to, what trends we predict to happen this year, as well as our thoughts for what will pop up in this years first Nintendo Direct / Sony State of Play / Xbox Showcase & more!

We are pushing for more discussion this year & less covering of the news as we know this is a weekly show so what we do talk about will be round ups & things we can try to deliver our opinions, thoughts, & ideas about while touching on news each week we want to discuss. We're also pushing for more Extra Quarters with a directive to try & deliver a new one each month!

Our "Big Question" for this week is "As we start 2026, what are some games (or series) you recommend (or challenge) another person on the show to play this year? "
