Arc Raiders (2025)

Our trio screws around a lot and I guess at some point they talk about Arc Raiders. More importantly they pay a small tribute to a friend of theirs who is gone. Farewell, Nariko.

Panzer Dragoon II: Zwei (1996) *REWIND*

Slay the Spire 2 (2026) *EARLY ACCESS*

Hey we're going to be a Monday show for a while! I've been working on some format changes in the background for both OGA and SCPT so that's been causing delays and other things but we're gonna be switching our release days since I don't have anything that comes out on Mondays and tbh it's just better for me this way. This week Me, Jamie, and EJ talk about Slay The Spire 2 which is essentially going to ruin productivity in this country once and for all! Also we talk about Heavyweights again.

Ranking David Lynch's Filmography

We took a week off for the holidays but actually Hunter, Shelton, and Chris Felton (Who you will remember from the Space Ghost episode) met up to record a way too long sendup of one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. In this episode we rank every David Lynch feature and each season of Twin Peaks in chronological order! Obviously this doesn't have anything to do with video games but hey don't worry about it, consider this an unasked for New Year's day present!

Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness (1995)

Hunter and Exothermic are back in the saddle talking about Blizzard's foundational RTS classic, Warcraft 2!!! There's also a fair bit about the Supreme Court of the United States and also the Game Awards. I guess you could say this podcast has a little something for everyone.

Hollow Knight: Silksong (2025)

Hunter was able to talk Ernest Jernest into coming right back to talk about one of the biggest games of the century, Hollow Knight: Silksong. Apologies that we're not exhaustedly discussing sparse details of this game in a hotel room in Indianapolis but we thought maybe we'd do it justice this time. ;) To see the most up to version of The OGA 100, visit https://bckl.gg/oHm4 Music by nightcorey. https://soundcloud.com/nightcorey Consider contributing to our show on Patreon.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (1995)

Matt has returned to Hunter's couch to talk about that green egg laying dyno we all know and love! A classic OGA discussion of feeling pretty alright about a video game. Cold open discussion is all about the Analogue 3D that both the boys recently unwrapped as early Christmas gifts from Santa!

Donkey Kong Bananza (2025)
