Episode 224: Filthy Casuals Reforged
06/02/2020 Duration: 01h16minWelcome to Filthy Casuals: Reforged. Tommy now looks weird and worse than you expected, Ben doesn't legally own his own thoughts anymore, and Adam will come to your house and steal your old episodes of Filthy Casuals away from you. This week the boys have a look at the controversy surrounding Blizzard's bungled Warcraft III remaster, as well as other news of the week, and take a further look at the amazing Kentucky Route Zero, the average Journey to the Savage Planet and the you-take-a-guess Monster Energy Supercross 3. Plus, as always, more. That's my favourite regular feature of ours, really. Love more.Subscribe the YouTube channel for our complete playthrough of Until Dawn, highlights and fan videos at https://youtube.com/c/FilthyCasualsListen to our new premium Bandcamp episode all about the history of Rareware, available now at https://filthycasualspod.bandcamp.com for only $1 (or more if you’d like).If you’d like to support us on Patreon head to http://www.patreon.com/filthycasualspo

Episode 223: Kentucky Route Zero Impressions
30/01/2020 Duration: 54minAs 2020 marches on, video games lie in wait far ahead, ready to pounce sometime in March, a little bit in April and May and then kind of not again until September. As for right now, we make do with what meagre provisions we have. The first hour or two of Kentucky Route Zero here. An inexplicable revisit to Return of the Obra Dinn there. Literally just reading out the names of bad sounding games from the Switch eShop. Precious little to tide us over. But still 2020 marches on. And so too does Filthy Casuals. Truly, we are heroes.Subscribe the YouTube channel for our complete playthrough of Until Dawn, highlights and fan videos at https://youtube.com/c/FilthyCasualsListen to our new premium Bandcamp episode all about the history of Rareware, available now at https://filthycasualspod.bandcamp.com for only $1 (or more if you’d like).If 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 s

Episode 221: 2020 Preview
16/01/2020 Duration: 01h08min"Two thousand and twenty" or "twenty twenty"? I feel like "twenty twenty" is the right one, but does that then mean that all the times we said "two thousand and five" or whatever were wrong? Should it have been "twenty oh five"? Because that sounds wrong to me. I guess it could be the case that we switch over the format partway through the century from "two thousand and nine" to "twenty ten", but I'm bothered by the lack of consistency there and I also remember there being an adjustment period where a lot of people were saying "two thousand and ten". I guess it could be that it's always been both? No, actually, I don't believe that. There has to be one correct way of saying each year or else what are we doing here, y'know? I actually think, for some reason, that it changed in 2012. "Twenty twelve". 2011 was "two thousand eleven", people skipped the "and" as a sort of transitional thing. Don't ask me why it was then or why it happened the way it but, it just did. So it goes: Two thousand, two thousand and one,

Episode 220: Games of the Decade - Part Two
09/01/2020 Duration: 01h24minIt's time to wrap up our picks for the games and trends of the previous decade, before we dive headfirst into the 2020s. Will your favourites make the cut? Yes, they will. Because all of your video game opinions always line up with ours, there's never been a disagreeable statement made on this show by any of us. It's been fun recording these episodes, we sincerely hope that you have enjoyed them. And thanks for listening to the show at all. I guess in the end, the real games of the decade are the friends we made along the way.Subscribe the YouTube channel for our new playthrough of Until Dawn, highlights and fan videos at https://youtube.com/c/FilthyCasualsListen to our new premium Bandcamp episode all about the history of Rareware, available now at https://filthycasualspod.bandcamp.com for only $1 (or more if you’d like).If 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 P

Episode 219: Games of the Decade - Part One
02/01/2020 Duration: 01h50minTen years. They said it was too long. Ten years worth of video games? A full decade of highs and lows, seachanges and treechanges, memories and moments. A full decade's worth of video games talk. They said it was too long. So we shortened it to around an hour and fifty minutes. Please enjoy Tommy, Ben and Adam being possibly the last piece of video game related media to get around to a 2010's recap as we go through our favourite games and significant trends of the just passed decade here in part one of our two part recap.

Episode 218: Game of the Year 2019
26/12/2019 Duration: 02h01minIt's the most wonderful gaaaaaame of the yeeeeeear. Once again the finest minds in video game critiquing have the last word on which games of 2019 deserved attention. Tommy Ebert, Ben Siskel and Adam Rolling Stone turn their esteemed reviewer's gaze toward the best the year in interactive entertainment had to offer, and deliver the decade's closing thoughts on where video games went in the year that was. The book is closed on the year of our lord MMXIX, with the final ink penned as an illuminating afterword by the sharp examiners of ludonarrative prose at Filthy Casuals. It is so important to review games, and we are important at it. Video games are art and art is pointless unless a reviewer has told you what to think of it, and then ranked it on an end of year list. Oh HELL yeah this matters. Happy holidays everyone!Subscribe the YouTube channel for our new playthrough of Until Dawn, highlights and fan videos at https://youtube.com/c/FilthyCasualsListen to our new premium Bandcamp episode all about the

Episode 217: The Schick Hydrobot Memorial Game Awards 2019
19/12/2019 Duration: 01h11minWe are gathered here today to commemorate and celebrate the life of the dearly departed Schick Hydrobot. His shine was too bright, his presence too beautiful, and his shave too close and clean for him to stay with us in this world for as long as he deserved. We honour him today by discussing the 2019 Game Awards, and for some reason Adam reviews Dead Space, which the rest of us at the service have found to be a little disrespectful but whatever. Farewell, old friend.

Episode 216: 2019 News Wind Down
12/12/2019 Duration: 58min2019 is coming to an end, and before we look next week at the year's final announcements at The Game Awards (and then the far more important Filthy Casuals Game of the Year), we're raking up all the muck that's fit to print for the last time this year. Tommy gets some new Nintendo indie games, Ben gets a Sony State of Play and a possible Bioshock game in the works, and Adam gets to play Mass Effect 2 again for some reason. 2019 is nearly in the books, and we've got you covered with a far less outdated information delivery medium than a dumb book: podcasting.Subscribe the YouTube channel for our new playthrough of Until Dawn, highlights and fan videos at https://youtube.com/c/FilthyCasualsListen to our new premium Bandcamp episode all about the history of Rareware, available now at https://filthycasualspod.bandcamp.com for only $1 (or more if you’d like).If you’d like to support us on Patreon head to http://www.patreon.com/filthycasualspod for free weekly bonus episodes, early access t

Episode 215: Disco Elysium Impressions
05/12/2019 Duration: 01h10minEngaging dialogue and unprecedented choice in how things unfold are two things you absolutely will not find on this week's episode of Filthy Casuals. Ben dives into Disco Elysium on his brand new gaming PC, Adam reviews the original Luigi's Mansion for the Gamecube and still finds it to be a more relevant and modern product than Pokemon Shield, and Tommy joins the boys in recounting the week's news. You choices are now either 1) Listen to the episode or 2) Do not. You don't have enough skill points for option 2 by the way, so please enjoy this week's episode.Subscribe the YouTube channel for our new playthrough of Until Dawn, highlights and fan videos at https://youtube.com/c/FilthyCasualsListen to our new premium Bandcamp episode all about the history of Rareware, available now at https://filthycasualspod.bandcamp.com for only $1 (or more if you’d like).If you’d like to support us on Patreon head to http://www.patreon.com/filthycasualspod for free weekly bonus episodes, early access

Episode 213: Pokemon Sword and Shield, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Review
21/11/2019 Duration: 01h10minVideo games have an unpleasant reputation as the childish refuge of the adult unwilling to accept the responsibilities that life demands of them, of being a series of infantile fantasy worlds into which these modern Peter Pans retreat, but this week Tommy Dassalo, Ben Vernel and Adam Knox are here to reject these claims with reviews of a Pokémon game and a Star Wars game. Also some chat about a couple newsy things and the not-too-hot looking launch of Google Stadia, plus more!Listen to our new premium Bandcamp episode all about the history of Rareware, available now at https://filthycasualspod.bandcamp.com for only $1 (or more if you’d like).Subscribe the YouTube channel for Let’s Plays (including the upcoming 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

Episode 212: Death Stranding First Impressions
14/11/2019 Duration: 01h13minAfter an arduous trek across unforgiving wilderness and a whole lot of questionable melodrama along the way, Tommy Dassalo, Ben Vernel and Adam Knox are here to bring you their first impressions of Hideo Kojima's long awaited masterpiece(?) Death Stranding. This is a big game that seems to demand quite a lot of its players to get the full experience, so this week the boys are delivering a partial package of their first impressions of the game, along with the news of the week and a little bit of Vietnam chat courtesy of Accomplished World Traveller Benjamin Vernel.

24/10/2019 Duration: 01h04minThe boys are feeling the burn this week as they begin to scratch the surface of Ring Fit Adventure (with a review of the hardware itself and initial impressions of the game) and take that energy into defending a small town from boring dialogue in Little Town Hero.
