Show Notes This time in A Theater Near You, the team tackled the latest Dungeons & Dragons movie, which was far more silly and entertaining than expected. Also, sorry for all the coughing.

With the new year comes new games, and Dana nd Kris are excited for a lot of cool stuff. From Prince of Persia to Anton Blast, there’s a ton of great stuff on the way to look forward to. Will we see a new Switch this year? Will Hatch Tales actually release? Will we learn anything at all about Solksong? Let’s find out! In Week Old News, Konami lets Limited Run re-release some of their most beloved classics that have strangely never been re-released before, Valve issues a takedown on a 64-bit Portal Demake, a rather disturbing version of Mario haunts the nightmares of CES-goers, and more. At the top of the show, Kris gets frustrated by the Flyers threatening to blow it in the third period, Dan beats Spider-Man and delves into great detail about how awesome its ending was (spoiler alert, by the way), and Kris laments the tragic loss of his Daily Dadish streak, even though he didn’t actually miss any days.

This is it! The big award show where Dan and Kris break down their favorite, not so favorite, and other randomly awarded games of 2023. What was the best? What made them the angriest? What new obsessions took over their lives? Did Portal 2 win AGAIN? Listen on to find out. At the top of the show, Dan and Kris were mostly too sick to really play a ton of new stuff, but good times were had involving MLB: The Show and New Super Mario Bros. In Week Old News, a kid beats Tetris, the GameCube gets Flippy, Rainbow Islands changes its tune, and a whole lot more. Enjoy!

It’s the final show of the year! Dan and Kris look back on 2023 and all the wonderful games (and horrible news) it brought with it. It was a banner year for excellent game releases and unfettered corporate greed. They’ll go month by month and break it all down because that’s what they do! At the top of the show, Kris completes his Atari Recharged series thanks to a big ol sale on the VCS, Dan didn’t get the coffee warmer he was so desperate to find under his tree, and a whole lot more. Happy New Year!
On this week’s episode of This Week’s Episode, Evan takes the team to space with the first episode of Foundation.

It’s time for the final 10 20 30 40 of 2023! Dan and Kris look back at notable game releases from 10, 20, 30, and 40 years ago this month and discover that December might not be the best month for video games, historically speaking. Well, they didn’t really discover that so much as had the notion reinforced. Sill, some pretty great stuff did find its way through the cracks, and they discussed it all via Dan’s new spreadsheet that was intended to streamline the 10 20 30 40 so it doesn’t take quite so long to get through. Did it work? You’ll have to listen to find out! In Week Old News, PlayStation backpedals on their decision to yoink back all those TV shows people bought, but only for as long as they feel like it. The kid who leaked a bunch of GTA6 stuff is getting punished as well, and Zack Snyder wants to direct a Fortnite movie. At the top of the show, Kris regails Dan with the tale of how his electric company tried to ruin his Christmas by literally stealing all of his money and refusing to give it back in a timely manner, while Dan actually got the cards he was after in Marvel Snap. It’s a Christmas miracle! Have a happy and safe holiday, everyone, and thanks for listening.
Show Notes It was Matt’s pick, and in true Matt fashion, he chose a game that couldn’t possibly be less Christmass-y for our final episode of the year, Dead Cells!
