Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of us here at the We Played Some Games podcast.

021: Birthday Pi

021-Birthday-Pi

Let’s get this party started! Michael crushes Dark Souls III and immediately gets crushed by Nioh. Dennis tears it up with Horizon: Zero Dawn. Shawn reminisces with Battlefront II and The Last of Us. Dennis says NO to drugs but YES to co-op gameplay in Ghost Recon: Wildlands. We couldn’t possibly provide less commentary on the Nintendo Switch and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Shawn and Michael talk about the X-Wing rule changes and rage quitters. Happy Birthday, Shawn!

020: Tournament Podium

020_Tournament_Podium

Dennis gets all his “old” games out of the way (Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption, and Fallout 4) so Michael can tell us about “Fat Rolling”. Dennis plays the NieR: Automata demo and thinks he might be turning Japanese. Dennis fights the Santa Blanca cartel in Ghost Recon: Wildlands. Remember when Shawn was an X-Wing Tournament virgin? Yeah, not so much any more.
