  • On this episode, we are kicking off our Game Swap Month! We took the game swap idea that we tried a while back and blew it out into something bigger and hopefully better! Each of the hosts brought a game to the swap that the other two hosts will have to play. Then, we are going to dedicate the rest of this month to doing full episodes on those games.

    In this kickoff episode, the hosts are announcing the games that they are bringing to the swap. Andrew is bringing Lost in Random, Aubrey is bringing Pokémon Red Rescue Team and Dylan is bringing Yakuza: Like a Dragon! Listen as we discover the games we'll have to play and speculate about whether we will enjoy them or not!

  • Andrew, Aubrey and Dylan are joined by Joe, Delaney, and Abi to talk about the most recent game from Supermassive Games (not counting the Until Dawn Remake), The Casting of Frank Stone! The reason there are so many voices on this episode is because the whole gang played through the game together!

    Listen as they discuss minimal gameplay, pointless collectibles, a lackluster story, the ties to Dead by Daylight, and more! They also rank this game among the other Supermassive games they've played and give their verdicts on the FN Gamers Review Scale. This episode is full spoilers so if you don't want to be spoiled, go play the game and then come back to check out our thoughts.

  • Continuing our month of spooky Halloween themed episodes, Andrew, Aubrey and Dylan are discussing their top three favorite spooky/scary video games on this episode! First, our hosts talk about what qualifies a game to be on our scary/spooky lists. Then, they give their honorable mentions some time in the spotlights and discuss why they didn't make the cut.

    After that, it's finally time to dive into the lists! Andrew isn't a fan of horror so his list is a bit on the mid side but still includes some fantastic games. Aubrey went for vibes, so her list contains some entries that aren't traditionally scary but can definitely put you in that Halloween mood. Dylan is the resident horror game fan on this show. His list is much more in line with what you probably expected when you read the title.

    The episode wraps up with the responses that were submitted to the FN Gamer's Discord server. It's a great list of horror/spooky games so if you've been looking for something to play this Halloween, look no further!
