Jay Armstrong of Massive Monster joins this episode to chat about his game The Adventure Pals!

The show kicks off with Jay joining us as we chat about all things The Adventure Pals. From spinning giraffe tongues to colorful confetti trails, to the game’s darker beginnings, we cover it all. We even detour a little bit as we talk about the street names where Cole lives as well as the story of my cat herd, because why not. Bottom line is that the game is as crazy as the show is and you should probably own it by now.

After Jay heads out and Cole is no longer hiding under a tree, we chat about the news of the week including the massive Xbox Backward Compatibility news dump of X Enhancements and OG Xbox releases, a Game Pass bonus game, Sam Fisher joining Ghost Recon Wildlands, NHL 18 in the EA Access Vault, and a Nintendo Switch game getting Xbox achievements?? It’s a helluva week for news. Plus reviews!

Ys Origin brings the classic action RPG to the Xbox One from Nihon Falcom & DotEmu. Hellblade Senua’s Sacrifice is the emotional vision quest into Viking Hell finally on Xbox from Ninja Theory. Extinction is a fast paced action game of colossus sized monster slaying from Iron Galaxy, Modus Games, & Maximum Games.

Dead in Vinland is a Viking era survival management adventure from CCCP & Playdius. Shadow Bug mixes action, platforming, and ninja teleport attacks from Muro Studios. Kaet Must Die! is a violent and challenging horror puzzle adventure from Strength in Numbers Studios. Plus we explore the Costume Pack DLC for WayForward’s Shantae Half-Genie Hero!
