We talk about Marathon and the state of live-service titles in this one, and we could not have predicted Highguard would announce its shutdown between recording and release. Then it's to the Spencer Mansion for Willa and to Next Fest for Robin.

This week, everything is bad in the world of AAA, and not just for the usual reasons. After running through the latest disasters, Willa once again puts on clown makeup to await the next game from Yoko Taro, and Robin takes solace in games that are just okay.

Somehow Willa and Robin eventually get through the many detours of this episode (hand injuries, bisexual Zohran, etc.) to talk about some games. There is a report on Zoe saving the galaxy and heading to Rapture as well as Robin going up in Valkyrie Saga and Cairn.

This week's episode WILL be out tomorrow, just a little later than usual. Willa is editing mostly one handed (for reasons that will make sense when you listen to the episode)

After taking a break for the longest week in human history (and the customary annual lay-off of one of our hosts), weβre back to talk about two interesting games: one we like and one we donβt. How novel.

girl mode is one of my favorite podcasts and you should both listen and also support them !!

ATTENTION: Girl Mode is CANCELLED (for this week. we'll be back next Wednesdayβ₯οΈ)
It's prediction time! First we tally up the scores from 2025. Then it's into the future as Robin, Willa, and Zoe (via Willa reading her notes because we won't let her back on the pod) tell you what 2026 will hold for gaming with 100% accuracy.

You can listen to the fourth annual Girlies right now! The GOTY discussion begins at 1:37:25 but that isn't the only place Old Skies shows up, and there are plenty of other great categories to boot

To ease into the new year Robin and Willa took it easy and are basically giving you the audio version of those lists every outlet puts out in January. We also talk about Zoe's exploits in Mass Effect and Robin's exploits in getting one over on her landlord.
