EXP Podcast #789: The Game Awards 2025 Announcements

Clearly not enough viscera on that statue

Well the weather outside is frightful, but these trailers are so delightful.  Actually, no: they're mostly gruesome grimdark gore-fests served up by Keighley, the preview demon.  In any case there are a ton of them, so this week we go through some of the biggest announcements from The Game Awards 2025.  Now let us enjoy the rebirth of early 2000s video game edge lords.

EXP Podcast #788: Yōtei, Dinosaurs, and More

What are they paying Jeff Goldblum for this!?

We are off to two islands this week - one in the windy north of Japan to seek revenge in Ghost of Yōtei, and the other is Isla Sorna, y'know, the one with dinosaurs. Sword fights and massive prehistoric carnivores? What more could you want!?

EXP Podcast #787: Steam Hardware Hoedown

I can smell the fresh plastic from here.

Like a phoenix rising from the bargain bin of a Fry's electronics, Steam Machines are back.  And they've brought controllers and VR glasses with them.  This week we debrief on the latest Valve hardware announcements and review what is shaping up to be an exceedingly strange time in the video game hardware market.

Not pictured: all your animal buddies

Like a glowing boon sent by your favorite uncle from Olympus, Hades 2 has bestowed its favor upon us.  This week we dig into on of our most anticipated games of the year and experience some para-social pride around what Supergiant Games has accomplished.  And of course: death to Chronos.

EXP Podcast #783: Hallow Knight: Silksong Debrief

You act like you've never seen a bug before.

Well, it's finally here: Silksong!  This week we take a break from scrambling after beads and trying to understand just what type of creature Hornet is in order to share our thoughts on the game.  I'd like to say that by the time you listen to this we'll likely have seen credits, but let's be honest: we'll be in the middle of a dastardly run-back to a boss that has a third form we have yet to see.  What can you do though?  That's just a bug's life.
