Welcome back to the Club! This time, Emmett and Al are talking about how to keep gaming at the end of the world. We’re on the verge of massive tariffs causing price hikes all over gaming, and we're amid a Boycott against Microsoft. Both of these things restrict what we’re able to play, but this episode will discuss a few ways to keep playing through everything that’s going on right now. Al talks about their time with Greedfall and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Emmett talks about his time with God of War Ragnarok Valhalla and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. • Timestamps: • Start: 00:00 • TotS: Tariff Price Hikes 10:59 • Microsoft Boycott talk 27:01 • Emulation & Classic Games 32:25 • The PC Echosystem 1:00:25 • Focusing on your Backlog 1:20:03 • Whatcha Playin? 1:48:56 • God of War Ragnarok Valhalla 1:52:16 • Greedfall 1:58:36 • Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance 2:09:24 • The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2:18:38 • Housekeeping 2:31:18 • Housekeeping: • Episode 4 - Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX (2025) | O Say Can UC?

One of his most iconic songs is Runaway, a song you might know from it’s “Toast to the Douchebags” refrain, it’s excellent Pusha T verse that brings it home, or
There are plenty of great reasons to despise GameStop.

I’m genuinely excited to don these headphones and experience just why TPaB is considered a “dazzling masterpiece."
Welcome back to the Club! Hope you enjoyed the GotY podcasts because the proper show is back on! Emmett is back with Al and Graydon, and we are all looking forward to the new year of 2025 and asking…Is Gaming Cooked? Everyone has their hopes resting in the games of Grand Theft Auto VI and Switch 2, but will they be enough to stop layoffs and corporate greed running rampant in the games industry?

In the Watcha Playin segment, Emmett talks about his time with Eternal Strands and Alien Rage, Al talks about their time with Avowed and Halo: The Master Cheif Collection, and Graydon talks about his time with Epic Mickey. • Timestamps • Start 00:00 • TotS: Is Gaming Cooked? 11:12 • Sony in 2025 (State of Play Recap) 11:41 • Nintendo (Switch 2) 54:27 • Microsoft (Xbox AI) 1:14:00 • Games Were Looking forward to in 2025 1:40:07 • Al Bought Too Many Games Again (ft.
