Hot Tub Good Time Machine - Ep. 207
On this week’s episode of the Chompcast, we ran through all of the emotions as we discussed games. First, we opened the show asking the question: do you feel that it’s less necessary to purchase a game for full price with constant sales and the advent of Game Pass/ PS Now? Next, we talked about all of the games that we’ve been playing this week. After, for some reason, we ended up talking for a half an hour about Batman. Last, we did our monthly Patreon shout-outs! Thanks for listening to us, be safe out there, and we love you.
Wive Fwom Bwookwyn - Ep. 206
I want you to think back for a moment on a game that you played when you were younger. Particularly, a game that you love and you hold close to your heart. A game that warms your heart and soul; one that puts a smile on your face as you reminisce of the times that you spent exploring that world. You’ve got one? Good.
Now I want you to be objective for a moment. Try your best to remove all of the nostalgia that you feel for the game. Does that story hold up now? What elements about that story make it hold up and stay relevant? What elements of the story make it feel dated?
On this week’s episode, we attempted to answer that question to the best of our ability, as we wanted to discuss what elements of a story keep it relevant and what elements don’t lend itself to the present. We talked about Ghost of Tsushima, Untitled Goose Game, Necrobarista, and the new Battletoads game. We rounded up the show with some social media polls and some general silliness.
We hope that you enjoy the show, and that you have a lovely week!
Mint is for Kissing - Ep. 205
Look at the Rack – Ep. 204
Are there times where you feel compelled to keep watching a TV show, play a video game, read a book, or listen to an album despite you having less and less enjoyment with the art? Do you feel guilty for quitting on inanimate objects and feel like your peers, peers being yourself, will judge you harshly until the end of time? Do you wish you could take it all back and forget a time where you felt the necessity to complete the media you are partaking in?
Bad news is you are not entitled to financial compensation or sympathy, but we at Sword Chomp have empathy for you as we discuss this very topic on the most recent episode of the Chompcast! We also manage to squeeze in some gaming talk, discussing Frog Fractions, Fae Tactics, and Othercide!
Bacon Pancakes - Ep. 203
Two Titles - Ep. 202

Episode 200 Extravaganza
Squirrels in a Storm - Ep. 199
Buckle up, guys. This episode has everything: drama, suspense, tangents, and dick jokes. We discussed our hype levels of Cyberpunk 2077, but seemingly it descended into a conversation about detective modes in gaming. We discussed One Step from Eden and The Last of Us 2, which got extremely heated, so be ready. Lastly, we jumped into our polls to lighten up the mood. Enjoy and prepare those fists!
