Trying to guess the 100th best PS4 game and Polygon's 100th best Pokémon
Justin decided to torture us with another set of top 100 lists. In case you missed this the last time we did it, our objective is to try to guess entry #100 on top 100 lists. If we do, we get 100 points. Anything higher than #100 gets us less points. So guessing entry #37 gets a contestant 37 points. We recorded two episodes back-to-back and combined them into one regular length Crubcast for your enjoyment. Please excuse us as we re-introduce things 25 minutes in. We promise that by the end of the Pokémon segment you will find us to be saints in comparison to w...

How covering DOOM is weird, the state of the MCU, and moving past developer pedigrees
It's a potpourri episode this week, as we combined our "what we've been playing" session with some casual chat we had on air during last stream's recording. So, it's a good mix of game impressions, movie talk, and answering a great question about what we want to see developers of beloved series try to do next.

Games with weird fanbases
Fanbases are great! Passionate, kind, lovely people showing their support and loyalty to the things they enjoy. However...a lot of the weird, toxic, strange, offputting, and detestable stuff tends to rise to the top. Today, we honor the latter. While also finally giving the official Super Drunkey Ball rules. That matters more.

The case for an Austin Powers video game (and Austin Powers 4)
With 007 First Light releasing to rave reviews, and with us not having played it...we decided to weather the Summer Game Fest storm and do what we do best. Show up without an actual plan for an episode and wing it. However, we have a compelling case for why IO Interactive should ditch Amazon and instead make an Austin Powers game next. We also solve the decades-long question...what should Austin Powers 4 be about? We also finally discuss Grand Theft Auto 6 in this episode, so we are a topical gaming podcast finally.

We know you've been very curious to hear how this game is turning out, so tune in for his impressions! Also, we apologize for what we do to the word "composer" at the end of this episode.

The 'Pick 3' Situation is Crazy
Much like how everything is crab, everything in games seems to increasingly be 'Pick 3'...well, not EVERYTHING, but it sure is becoming prevalent. You level up, 3 options appear, you pick 1, and then play for another minute until you have to pick 3 again. When it's great, it's fantastic, but as it becomes more pervasive will the charm wear off?

Saros is the best Ratchet & Clank successor
DISCLOSURE: Kevin (The Golden Bolt) received an advance copy of Saros from PlayStation
There are many spiritual successors to video games. Some are intentional homages, such as Akimbot, and others unintentionally capture specific essences and remind us of something we love. Saros reminds us why we love Ratchet & Clank. Akimbot...does not.

We're, somehow, a year and change away from seeing the next generation of Xbox and PlayStation hardware. The Steam Machine and Steam Frame are lurking in a nebulous "may release in 2026" limbo.

Should Zelda really stay open world? What about that Ocarina of Time remake?
Breath of the Wild brought a surge of new and returning players to Zelda, but it left core fans of the traditional 3D style yearning for another entry in that style. While it seems like the open world style is here to stay...should it? We realized that we...don't care that much! Also, we recorded this right before the Ocarina of Time remake rumors started swirling again, so it's accidentally very timely. Happy 150 episodes!

When does lore actually matter in a game?
Some games have hours of lore for you to sift and read through. Some choose to offload it to other materials, like books, short films, or websites. An ARG isn't out of the question now and then...but we have to ask, when is it too much? When does it actually matter? If it isn't part of the main experience, is it adding that much?
