Impossible Coin

World ends. Gamestop is High Priest of the death cult that is capitalism. Brian cries. Praise the Medicine Paladins. Animal Crossing is the last good thing in this world.

Look, we're speedrunning Plague Inc here. Brian and Rocky discuss turtleneck multstreaming. Rocky explains how a piece of dystopian science fiction by a suicidal young adult writer got him to wear a crewneck. E3 is CANCELLED. Nintendo has intense object detection algorithms. Please stop wearing ahegao t-shirts.

Rocky and Tegan were curious what I would put here since I wasn't on. Well, so was I. I wish had been on. I wish I had been on to tell you to wash your hands. I wish I had been on to tell you to avoid contact if not for you for the elderly, immunocompromised or obese people in your life. I wish I had been on to tell you this is real and there has been nothing like this in our lives. Protect the ones you love by acting with caution, care and empathy.

This is a thing that an actual C level executive said. Really. We're not making a joke. These are real words. Please join us as we continue to witness the final burning of the world through the prism of video games.

First of all, Ghostborders. Second of all, we haven't had an episode this late in a while. We hope that this didn't result in us coming home to you throwing our metaphorical possessions all over the metaphorical front lawn. We have no idea how good Tegan would be at standing on the lawn saying "Baby, I'm sorry." We'll be on time next week. Video games!

So there are a million Brians and one of them must apparently order a LOT of pizza in Dubai. Your Brian actually played a video game. Sonic made a ton of rings or money if you will. Nintendo asks people to be offended on their behalf because someone interfered with their marketing strategy.

What came out on Steam today finally jumps the shark in a very real way, we add a new provocative Patreon tier, Phil Spencer doesn't compete with Italian plumbers and Rockstar is playing Highlander with C suite executive founders.

The team assembles and orders a list of 2019's top ten best games. The team is, in retrospect quite proud of the list.

Picture Mr. Worldwide and Christina Aguilera singing about feeling this moment on a beach at sunset whilst whales and shit breach the surface of the sea in the background. Now make it three nerds arguing for three hours about which video game moment is most emotionally resonant. THIS. IS. BEST. MOMENT. WE IN THIS. Top 20: 1:40 Top 9: 1:59 Top 5: 1:59

The gang decides what old game loves them most, what game serviced them the bestest, which game had the best story and Brian frustrates Rocky with his contention that something that is not a game was the best surprise.

The conclave has gathered and there is white smoke. Impossible Coin names 2019's dumbest, evilest and most disappointing. Don't worry, there will be a magic show. (Not the juicy kind.) These are video games.

The bloodletting begins and the knives are out. Friends, it is time that we endanger our real and vibrant friendships over something so trivial as who is the best Fire Emblem person.

Hark! the herald Now Beat blogs, "Glory to the new-born Queen! Peace on earth, and Simon mild, Aldovia and Penglia reconciled." Joyful, Aldovians, rise, Evil butler in disguise; With th' angelic host proclaim, "Why's this queen got blogger fame?" Hark! the herald Now Beat blogs, "Glory to the new-born Queen!

I think you have to go back to 2017 to find an episode of this show this bad. You hate to see it. Anyway, mistakes were made, Ls were held and somehow the person who got it together and rose above criticism was Geoff Keighley? 

This is really the one that broke Tegan. I don't know whether it is every resident of Aldovia being a certified idiot or the swapping of the main character's father for a weird stranger who is definitely walking here but this sequel is watchalong that is much better/worse than the first. Our special holiday #content continues.

Gather round! Tis the season of Yule or the Yule season! Rocky, Tegan and Brian celebrate not by working on their backlogs for GOTY but by watching festive holiday classix! If Genovia was too classy for you journey inside a hollow acorn for this story that teaches crack reporters are stupid and friends are best contacted on Skype.

Elon Musk was an idiot. Big surprise. Randy Pitchford was an idiot. Big surprise. Stadia is a trash fire. Big surprise. The naming conventions of both Half Life and Debbie Does Dallas are examined. Bluff City Law offends Brian. Rocky wants to do a nightmarish boss fight. These are video games.

Stadia is actually on fire. Microsoft kicked off their annual Xbox fan convention. The Apple TV had video games and Brian played them. Rocky won't stop messing with Brian over ardently religious corporate fandoms. Come with us to the sketchy Pokestops that shouldn't have been approved!

Brian here. I haven't listened to this episode yet and I wasn't there. Pretty sure that means I now have the all-time worst attendance record, dethroning Tegan. I like to assume this episode title is very specifically targeted to me and my endless pillows. Don't judge me. VIDEO GAMES.
