Thumbstick Athletes

South Park: The Stick of Truth is finally out!  The Athletes cover the game so far as well as cover some of the mechincs you will find in the game. 

The recap episode for our Four in February challenge, only with a little less drunkeness than last year.

The Athletes review the new 3DS JRPG Bravely Default, and Corey and Will talk about their experiences with the Titanfall beta.

Dan and Will talk briefly about Will's experience with the Titanfall beta on Xbox One.

We finally got around to doing an episode on The Banner Saga.  We didn't confuse it at all with Candy Crush Saga...

Though it isn't technically next gen anymore, Dan, Eric and Will give some ideas for features/hardware and games they would like to see on the PS4 and Xbox One. 

At the last moment we decided to do a Just the News episode and cover some of the big stories in gaming this week. 

With the arrival of February, the Athletes again take on the 4 in Feb challenge in attempt to tackle some of the backlog.  This year they select the games for each other, and leave one up to a listener vote.  Also contains BioShock Infinite SPOILERS from 01:21:00 to 01:35:00.  Ye be warned!

Also a standard episode for early in the year, our 2014 Predictions episode containing some bold, and some VERY bold predictions.

Part 2 of our 2014 games preview includes all the unscheduled releases for this year, and a much larger portion of this year's games.

With the arrival of the new year, it's time again to look ahead to all the potentially awesome games that are going to come out this year.  In part 1 of 2014 games preview, we look at the scheduled releases which are mostly Jan, Feb, and March games, but also a few later ones sprinkled in. 

For this year's Thumbies awards, we vote on the different categories to come up with consensus picks for our various awards.  Of course, lots of arguements ensue.

We finally get around to doing our spoiler episode for the Walking Dead season 1.  This episode contains SPOILERS and is for those who have already played the Walking Dead, or those who don't care.  Skip to 01:25:00 (one hour, twenty-five minutes) to miss any spoilers from the episode, there we have our nibblebits segment on through the rest of the epsiode. 

We recap the 2013 Spike TV VGX awards in all their...glory, covering all the announcements along with the awards.

We cover some new Nintendo titles this week in the 3D Mario game for the Wii U and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.  We also have Jarad (who we've talked about before, but never had on) to talk about The Wolf Among Us. 

Initially we had only planned on doing Battlefield 4 for this episode, but a strong desire to talk about Assassin's Creed 4 developed part way through the main segment. 

The Athletes, in hangover format, give their brief thoughts on the newest Call of Duty.  Contains SPOILERS from the campaign.

Dan, Will and Eric all (finally) got their shiny new PlayStation 4's and crammed in as much time with the new system as they could in 4 days.  Find out their thoughts on the new controller, system, and launch games in Episode 122.

As a farewell to the generation, the Thumbstick Athletes have a roundtable discussion to decide as a group what was the best game of the 7th generation. 

The Athletes do an episode on Path of Exile now that the full version has been released.
