Somehow, The Funcast has returned. And just in time for Game of The Year season! A totally normal check in with friends old and new about what gosh dang video games we've been playin.

Join us wont you?

Another year has gone missing, and the Fungineer gang is on the case! We go over the whole first half of 2023 in Video Games to see what we remember. We remember a lot as it turns out, cause boy howdy did some real bangers release early and often.

Join us wont you?

A great video about MyHouse.WAD from Power Pak (that I hopefully remembered to mention in the show): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wAo54DHDY0

It's TGA Season, the most important holiday season of the year! What will take home the coveted prize of Best E-Sports Event? Which giant company will win for Best Indie Game? Can there only be one winner of Best Game Direction? What the hell even is an Action Adventure game in 2023? All these questions - and more! - are totally not going to be answered here in this podcast. Sorry. You'll need to wait for the TGAs to air for that.

In the meantime, enjoy our ramblin' about it!

The spooky season means an unholy return to life!

It's a good thing that nothing happened, and no new video games came out in the summer months everyone got busy with life stuff in. What's that? Way too many video games came out?

Oh.

Oh, no.

Nintendo Direct! Announced the night before it aired, it turned out to be something of a banger, with games both new and old. Andrew loses himself in the music from a Mario RPG remake, Daniel is very excited about Pikmin 4, and Dean watches the trailer for the new Mario game live! Oh, we also have all been playing Diablo 4, so we talk about that a bit too!

Video Game Announcement Month has commenced, and today we take a look at the incredibly long and incredibly dense Xbox conference! Mostly, because some of it did spill over into the Ubisoft event, and carried forward from the Summer Games Fest show. So really it's only a mostly Xbox/Microsoft episode. But boy, what a conference - and that doesn't even count the near hour long deep dive into the upcoming Everything and Forever game Starfield! Buckle up your space pants for blast off!

Our unplanned break ended up being a great boon, because it gave us, like, two whole weeks to play the new Zelda! We have a lot to say, but for your benefit, we kept it to only 80 minutes, almost entirely focused on things as they are in the world before you do a dungeon. There are some minor spoilers for that stuff, and for a couple of the things outside this scope (but they are pretty contextless I think, so it's fine!!!) but otherwise is just some friends chatting up a storm about a really fantastic adventure.

Games Discussed: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. That's it, that's the one.

Nintendo did us a favour by dropping an incredibly dense indie direct on us, so now we have *a lot* to talk about! Cat Games, Farming Games, Weird Puzzle Games, Cool Puzzle Games, Cozy Puzzle Games with Cats, and the Store Brand Jet Set Radio that daddy Sega won't give you. Then it's on to the news, where Halo keeps dying, Daddy Sega buys Angry Birds, NDAs become suggestions, Dreams are dead, and a studio (allegedly) goes full pirate.

Dean played nothing but Deceive Inc., a cross between Hitman and Assassins Creed multiplayer, Andrew tried to chase the hell demon high in Path of Exile, and Daniel convinces Andrew to buy a game mid-podcast because he cannot stop gushing about a deck building roguelite called Wildfrost.
