Filthy Casuals With Tommy Dassalo, Ben Vernel And Adam Knox

Despite the fact that we announced this episode description many years ago, and recently heavily promoted that it would be released alongside Episode 251, our flagship episode, we have made the difficult decision to delay this episode description into 2021. We will use this extra time to make the episode description the best it can possibly be, and we appreciate our loyal fans giving us understanding in these difficult times. The episode will still be released as scheduled, but without a description to go with it, you may be wondering what the point is. We have thousands of descriptions already available, and this episode of Filthy Casuals is backwards compatible with all of them. Thank you all very much, and we will see you for the launch of Filthy Casuals Episode 251’s Episode Description in 2021! Stay safe.

In accordance with podcasting tradition, we celebrate our 250th episode with the customary "several lists of things that relate to the number two hundred and fifty". It is a ritual as old as podcasting itself (around fifteen years), and we are proud to follow in the footsteps of our forebears, the first podcast to have reached its 250th episode: Four Bears. It was a podcast where four bears growled about salmon. A true testament to the fact that literally any podcast can make it to 250 episodes. Here's to 250 more! And the 17 more after that, and then that's probably it. Our fifth birthday is coming up soon, so we'll probably do a little something for that, but for now thanks for listening everyone!Patreon - weekly bonus episodes and secret Filthy groupBandcamp Premium EpisodesYouTube - including live streams and Let's PlaysTwitch  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Completely two-dimensional, horrific and disgusting, and underwhelming in spite of a lot of promise. Am I describing the three things mentioned in the title of the episode there, or is it a funny description of the personalities of Tommy Dassalo, Ben Vernel and Adam Knox? That's right, it's both! I've managed to perform a little bit of wordplay here in this episode description, and the world is all the richer for it. It's truly this sort of fun which can be had with the English language that makes the world's most popular dialect! I've not really looked into the reasons why so many people speak English, but I'm assuming that's the reason, anyway. Surely it's not a darker reason than that, right? Also some Nintendo leaks.

This week the boys are joined in Melbourne lockdown by friend of the show, comedian and radio host Nick Cody! Cody joins the lads to chat about some of his favourite games and his recent descent into regular gaming life, and the boys touch on the Ubisoft Forward event, video game-related topics for talkback radio, and they even talk about little-known Nintendo game Breath of the Wild (briefly)! Knox gives his thoughts on puzzle game Superliminal, and the boys get excited for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Bit of a grab-bag with a good friend of the boys. Hope you enjoy!Patreon - weekly bonus episodes and secret Filthy groupBandcamp Premium EpisodesYouTube - including live streams and Let's PlaysTwitch  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The boys are back in lockdown in old Melbourne town, so it's time to talk Backgammon. Tommy's been playing 51 Clubhouse Games (real name 51 Worldwide Game in Australia but no way we're calling it that), as well as Persona 5 Royal alongside Ben, and Adam's been slugging away at the Souls series. Hope everyone's ok with a few more weeks of Zoom calls from us, because it is the law.

The boys chat some news this week, including the Night City Wire stream and previews of Cyberpunk 2077, and then give you an hour long sealed section where they go mask off on The Last of Us Part II. It's clearly marked and separated but there are full spoilers in that section, so please be aware of that. They are only contained in that last section though, and we give a lot of warning.

This week the guys hunker down in an abandoned hospital, gathered around the light of a flickering torch, sharing the crumbs of a half-eaten chocolate bar, rubbing each other for warmth, to give a full and comprehensive review of the new Smash Bros Ultimate DLC character Min Min. Additionally, the boys chat the end of Mixer, Crash Bandicoot 4 and give SPOILER FREE thoughts on The Last of Us Part 2.Listen to our newest Bandcamp episode creating a list of games you might want to play if you maybe, hypothetically have an indefinite period of isolation to get through, available now at https://filthycasualspod.bandcamp.com for free, or a hugely appreciated donation if you can.Subscribe the YouTube channel for our complete playthrough of Until Dawn, highlights and fan videos at https://youtube.com/c/FilthyCasualsIf you’d like to support us on Patreon head to http://www.patreon.com/filthycasualspod for free weekly bonus episodes, early access to Premium Episodes, the secret Patrons Facebook

It's back to Tommy, Ben and Adam's regularly scheduled podcasting, and that means talking about the news roughly one week after it's happened. We go through and chat PS5 thoughts, as well as a quick round-up of what games we got into during the history of video games series. It's good to be back, baby. Time to pop those collars for an authentic PS5 look, and listen to some Filthy Casuals!Listen to our newest Bandcamp episode creating a list of games you might want to play if you maybe, hypothetically have an indefinite period of isolation to get through, available now at https://filthycasualspod.bandcamp.com for free, or a hugely appreciated donation if you can.Subscribe the YouTube channel for our complete playthrough of Until Dawn, highlights and fan videos at https://youtube.com/c/FilthyCasualsIf you’d like to support us on Patreon head to http://www.patreon.com/filthycasualspod for free weekly bonus episodes, early access to Premium Episodes, the secret Patrons Facebook Group more

It's the final part of Tommy, Ben and Adam's trip down Memory Lane in History Town located in the Past province of rural Oldtopia, and so it's time for them to cover the late 2000s. Thick make-up, bright v-neck polo shirts, those dumb studded belts and awkwardly hanging boot cut jeans are just four of the games that the boys fail to cover, but we do talk through the history of the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PSP, DS and more. With the 2010s covered in our recent best games of the 2010s episodes, we're up to date and ready to get back to your regularly scheduled podcast next week, but this has been super fun to do! We hope you've enjoyed it :) Lots of love, your three dads.Listen to our new Bandcamp episode creating a list of games you might want to play if you maybe, hypothetically have an indefinite period of isolation to get through, available now at https://filthycasualspod.bandcamp.com for free, or a hugely appreciated donation if you can.Subscribe the YouTube channel for our complete playthrough of Unt

As the new Willennium approaches, we begin to wind down our pastel colours and enormous suits, let the pop-punk and ska CDs slowly exit rotation, and gradually phrase out our use of the phrase "it is currently the nineteen-nineties". Before the 20th century would completely close out, however, video games managed one final burst of innovation, and Tommy, Ben and Adam are here to recount and record for the benefit of future generations. It's another episode of the most important historical document of our times: Filthy Casuals.Listen to our new Bandcamp episode creating a list of games you might want to play if you maybe, hypothetically have an indefinite period of isolation to get through, available now at https://filthycasualspod.bandcamp.com for free, or a hugely appreciated donation if you can.Subscribe the YouTube channel for our complete playthrough of Until Dawn, highlights and fan videos at https://youtube.com/c/FilthyCasualsIf you’d like to support us on Patreon head to http://www.

Only 90s kids will understand this episode! Or look honestly probably 80s kids will get even more out of it since they were a little bit older in the early 90s so probably remember the era more vividly. And I suppose that goes for 70s kids, too. If anything, 60s kids were probably in the prime of their lives during the early 90s, so this might even be best for them. 50s kids would often have been raising families, so if that's you then this actually might be understandable for you too, since your kids would likely have been 90s kids. 40s kids have seen the world change so much during their lifetimes that I'm willing to bet they can adapt and understand this. 30s kids were born during the great depression and as we potentially head into another, we could use their wisdom, so I hope that they understand this and we can share our knowledge with each other. 20s kids who are listening to podcasts today must be sharp as a tack, they've got to understand this. 1910s kids, I don't know how many of you there are, but

It's time to get totally tubular as the boys hit the mid to late 1980s, a formative and fascinating part of video games history, with the 2nd part of their loose look back at the history of video games.

We're taking a trip down memory lane for the next few weeks, so far back in this case that we have no memories of this particular part of the lane. Tommy, Ben and Adam go through the early days of video games up until the mid-1980s in this first part of a multi-week special on the history of video games.

A squad of bulky, musclebound beefcakes with thick armour, big guns, and gruff attitudes, are hosting this podcast about video games. This week Tommy Dassalo, Ben Vernel and Adam Knox take us through news including the Last of Us Part II release date and leaks, reviews of Gears Tactics, Cloudpunk and Help Will Come Tomorrow, and offer "advice" for new "podcasters".

As the simulation of our world implodes, our simulations of video game worlds are getting slightly better. This week Adam tries out a bit of ray tracing on his fancy new graphics card and perhaps runs up against the fact that he has a very strong prescription for corrective lenses. Either that or ray tracing is a pretty subtle effect. What's not subtle? Final Fantasy VII Remake and its ending which Ben and Adam both go into in depth in a spoiler-filled sealed section at the end of this episode. Tommy's also been dancing like nobody's watching with Just Dance, and now all three of the Filthy Casuals boys are here to podcast like nobody's listening.Listen to our new Bandcamp episode creating a list of games you might want to play if you maybe, hypothetically have an indefinite period of isolation to get through, available now at https://filthycasualspod.bandcamp.com for free, or a hugely appreciated donation if you can.Subscribe the YouTube channel for our complete playthrough of Until Dawn, highlight

We really hope you enjoyed games that came out in the 90s for the original PlayStation, because remakes of those games are all you’re getting this year. This week it’s Final Fantasy VII Remake and you know what? It’s actually pretty good. Mostly. You can hear our review right here in this week’s episode, as well as some more chat about that weird Cooking Mama game and news of even more remakes.

Unnatural shuffling, haunting groans, and nightmarish, deathly husks struggling to draw breath. All these fun sounds and more picked up by our too-close-to-the-mouth microphones as we record this weeks episode of Filthy Casuals. Tommy and Adam have played the Resident Evil 3 remake, Ben’s put a little time into Final Fantasy VII (more to come on that next week), and there’s a surprisingly large amount of news including the new PS5 controller. Listen to our new Bandcamp episode creating a list of games you might want to play if you maybe, hypothetically have an indefinite period of isolation to get through, available now at https://filthycasualspod.bandcamp.com for free, or a hugely appreciated donation if you can.Subscribe the YouTube channel for our complete playthrough of Until Dawn, highlights and fan videos at https://youtube.com/c/FilthyCasualsIf you’d like to support us on Patreon head to http://www.patreon.com/filthycasualspod for free weekly bonus episodes, early access t

After a 13 year wait, a new Half-Life game exists. No joke here, I’m genuinely excited about it. Could it mean more Half-Life games are not far down the track? Could it mean a return to the glory days of Half-Life 1 modding, as enthusiasm and creativity in VR grip talented programmers’ imagination? Could we be a short time away from a revolutionary equivalent to Counter-Strike, built for VR? Half-Life mods were so fun. Sven Co-Op. All those weird little single player stories. I would absolutely love for that type of thing to make a comeback into a VR headset. Just really feeling some Half-Life this week, folks. Hope you’re all doing well! Play some version of one of the Half-Life games, why don’t you? Alyx if you can, any of the others if you can’t. We also talk about Persona 5 Royal, Nintendo news (what??????!!!!!) and some other stuff. But yeah, Half-Life is back.
