Geek Heart Games

This special episode is all about HORROR MOVIES! Be warned: SPOILERS ABOUND. We decided to watch each other's favorite horror movies and then discuss. Sam's favorite is The Descent, about a group of women who go spelunking and bad things happen. Cody's is Grave Encounters, about a group of paranormal investigators who lock themselves in a haunted asylum overnight and bad things happen. As a bonus, we also talk about the Terrifier because it is really, really weird. REMINDER: Extra Life is coming Nov 2 & 3.

REMINDER: Fri Oct 26 will be Friday the 13th community game night! Extra Life is coming Nov 2 & 3. You can donate at geekheartgames.com/ExtraLife In this week's horror check in, Trick 'r Treat is a Halloween classic, but Malevolent isn't worth your time. (CORRECTION: Sam mentions "Scream if You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th" but that is actually "Shriek if You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th" Cody's jumped into Call of Duty Black Ops 4 and is loving the new Blackout mode. Sam's been playing (and dying) in Slain: Back from Hell and she remembers that Dead Space 2 is one of the greatest horror games of all time! We go through our top 11 horror games of all time and share some favorites from our friends in Discord. Additional Games Mentioned in this episode (because Byron likes a list) Bioshock, System Shock, a bunch of Resident Evils, Limbo, Inside, some DOOMs, some Silent Hills, Hellblade, Until Dawn, Friday the 13th, Dead by Daylight, Outlast, Killing Floor 2, some Dead Spaces contact@gee

You can donate at geekheartgames.com/ExtraLife We've been watching some scary things including Season One of the Scream TV Show, the new movie Hell Fest and the completely disturbing Hereditary. Cody got spooked by Amnesia, while Sam's been playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider and she also got to try Assassin's Creed Odyssey through Google's Project Stream. In the news, Microsoft is also looking to make streaming games to your phone a viable option, PSN name changes are just around the corner and Fortnite has a new Disco Domination mode! contact@geekheartgames.com Twitter & Facebook: @geekheartgames Twitch.tv/GeekHeartGames geekheartgames.com/youtube geeekheartgames.com/discord geekheartgames.com/shirts or geekheartgames.com/shirt Cody: @comicbookcody.

You can donate at geekheartgames.com/ExtraLife Our month of Horror continues! We've been watching Mandy, American Horror Story: Asylum, Friend Request and Thirst (the one about juvenile delinquents in the wilderness hunted by an alien - not one of the many other movies that comes up if you search for thirst...) Cody has a super secret game he went on an adventure to play. Hollow, a horror game on Switch isn't great. Immortal Redneck IS great. And Forza Horizon 4 is a mixed bag. We finally catch up on some news including the PS1 mini, Red Dead Online will be having a beta (after the main game releases), the Telltale layoffs continue, and Switch is getting some new hardware next year. contact@geekheartgames.com Twitter & Facebook: @geekheartgames Twitch.tv/GeekHeartGames geekheartgames.com/youtube geeekheartgames.com/discord geekheart

It's October and that means it's ALL HORROR ALL THE TIME! (Except for the times when we talk about the non-horror stuff...) We kick things off with some extracurricular horror including Sam's latest read "What We Kill" by Howard Odentz and Cody's latest movies, The Nun (which is good) and The Terrifier (which is %#@!ing awesome). We give you a slight break from the scares as we discuss what we've been playing: Trials Evolution; Warface; and what's supposed to be a short update on Destiny 2...Then it's back to TOTAL TERROR TIME as we discuss all things Resident Evil! We've got games! We've got movies! We've got personality quizzes! Reminders: Join us Fri Oct 19 for our Dead by Daylight community Game Night Tune in Nov 2 & 3 as we are streaming for Extra Life, a charity benefiting children's hospitals.

This week, one or both of us has been teleported to an alternate dimension and we are busy saving the world, so we were unable to record a regular podcast. However, we've got a SUPER special episode to tide you over. That's right, we're talking all about the Super Mario Bros. Movie! It's definitely a classic, but has it withstood the test of time? Tune in to find out! contact@geekheartgames.com Twitter & Facebook: @geekheartgames Twitch.tv/GeekHeartGames geekheartgames.com/youtube geeekheartgames.com/discord geekheartgames.com/shirts or geekheartgames.com/shirt Cody: @comicbookcody.

This week, we know it's early but we're getting into the Halloween spirit with a bit of horror movie talk. In the games world, we watched some of the Black Ops 4 Blackout Beta and played some Trials Rising Beta. Friday the 13th finally got dedicated servers! It took Sam way longer than your average gamer to master the combat in Spider-Man. And while discussing the new Gambit game mode, Cody and Sam are surprised to find they have something in common. We recap the latest Nintendo Direct which seems to have something for everyone including: Luigi's Mansion 3, New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, Town, Lord of the Rings Living Card Game, Carcassonne, Pandemic, Catan, Munchkin, Katamari Damacy, Pokemon, Super Smash Bros, Animal Crossing, Warframe, Daemon X Machina (and at least one more that I just can't remember - Sorry, Byron). MAKE NOTE FOR HISTORICAL PURPOSES: A bet has been made. Cody says Daemon X Machina will be $60. Sam says it will be $40. We eagerly await a pricing announcement to see who gets bragging rig

Destiny 2 Forsaken is here! We talk in depth about our excitement (Sam once again loves Destiny). We have an extremely light spoiler section (covering the trailers and the first couple of missions) running from 0:26:50 until 1:02:27 (if you aren't into Destiny, just skip to here once we start talking about it). Also, Sam is so glad she tried Strange Brigade before the onslaught of AAA games begins. It's really fun and you should give it a chance! In the news, Bungie Rewards is giving out free stuff you can earn from playing including the Forsaken soundtrack! Best Buy is going to be having demo's of Super Smash Brothers! (But before you get too excited, it's only in select locations.) And THQ Nordic has bought the rights to Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning!! We delve into a listener question which leads to the brand new segment "Is it Bullshit?" where we summarize a game that we are unfamiliar with. contact@geekheartgames.com Twitter & Facebook: @geekheartgames Twitch.tv/GeekHeartGames geekheartgames.c

It was the best of updates, it was the worst of updates. Destiny 2 had an update. We have widely differing opinions. Also this week, your Geek Heart family has started playing D&D. We recap our good times so far! Sam raves about how cool Ryse: Son of Rome is (available on Game Pass). We bitch a little about the Private (pay to play) Beta trend (Fallout 76 - we're lookin' at you), but we're A OK with paying extra to access content early (Division 2). Microsoft is doing everything right with their new Xbox All Access program. And who knew that everything on Xbox Game Preview wasn't free? (I'm guessing a lot of people knew - but we didn't until Day Z was announced for $40). contact@geekheartgames.com Twitter & Facebook: @geekheartgames Twitch.tv/GeekHeartGames geekheartgames.com/youtube geeekheartgames.com/discord geekheartgames.com/shirts or geekheartgames.com/shirt Cody: @comicbookcody.

Exciting news this week including new games coming to Xbox Game Preview, Man of Medan and Nintendo Indie's like Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, Everspace and Morphies Law that - SURPRISE - is out now! Cody develops an affinity for punishing games while playing Death's Gambit - so much so that he wants to try a Dark Souls game! Sam has fallen in love again and it's with Sky Force Anniversary Edition! We've also been playing the early access of Divinity Original Sin 2, DOOM and H1Z1 (though it brings out a little Cody's Corner of Rage). contact@geekheartgames.com Twitter & Facebook: @geekheartgames Twitch.tv/GeekHeartGames geekheartgames.com/youtube geeekheartgames.com/discord geekheartgames.com/shirts or geekheartgames.com/shirt Cody: @comicbookcody.

We are so excited to be doing our 25th Episode! We're celebrating by talking about our all time favorite games - the ones we love to play, the ones we grew up with, the ones where friendships were built, the ones that will always have a special place in our hearts! There's some Pokemon, some Mario, some Evil of the Resident persuasion, but you'll have to listen to discover the whole list! **SPOILER ALERT:** Some of the games, we can't talk about what they mean to us without going into spoilers, so here are the timecodes for the parts you might need to skip: Mario Odyssey: Start 0:50:54. End 0:51:29 Gone Home: Start 1:12: 56. End 1:16:01 Red Dead Redemption: Start 1:23:07. End 1:27:05 Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice: Start 2:15:35. End 2:26.36.

This week, we've been playing the reworked heroes in Overwatch, #WarGames, Viva Pinata & the adorably charming Yoku's Island Express. In the world of upcoming sequels, we have varying levels of hype for Red Dead Redemption 2 and Rage 2, but we are both super-hyped for Doom Eternal! We discuss what possible Diablo projects might be on the way, and how you can get a jump start on Divinity Original Sin 2 on ps4. Finally, we share our listener responses on what games you like to watch but not play. contact@geekheartgames.com Twitter & Facebook: @geekheartgames Twitch.tv/GeekHeartGames geekheartgames.com/youtube geeekheartgames.com/discord geekheartgames.com/shirts or geekheartgames.com/shirt Cody: @comicbookcody.

Destiny 2's Solstice of Heroes event is live and it's sucking up a lot of time. We go through the positives and negatives of this latest event. We've also been playing Tera, ChromaGun, Assault Android Cactus and Dead by Daylight - one of the free PS Plus games this month. We talk about what other freebies we're excited for this month and discuss what we consider a backlog.

Our crew has wildly differing opinions on the revival of No Man's Sky. We've also been playing Neverwinter, Urban Trial Playground, Warhammer Vermintide 2 and Cody's been playing some weird game called Schmokemon Shmy? We use our wacky time-fart time travel abilities to bring you all the excitement from the Overwatch League Finals as well as some fun Overwatch League Trivia. In the news, Destiny is producing a hardcover version of the Grimoire lore and Hellblade is coming to VR (but only Oculus Rift & HTC Vive). contact@geekheartgames.com Twitter & Facebook: @geekheartgames Twitch.tv/GeekHeartGames geekheartgames.com/youtube geeekheartgames.com/discord geekheartgames.com/shirts or geekheartgames.com/shirt Cody: @comicbookcody.

It's our 21st Episode! Cody's having a great day! Sam might have food poisoning! But we power through. We've been having fun with the new free to play shooter, Defiance 2050. Cody missed out on his Mewtwo raid, but he's been playing Pokemon Y (and this is the last time he's allowed to talk about Pokemon for the next few months) along with the new JRPG, Octopath Traveler. Sam tried out the Speedrunners demo and has gone back to Persona 5. Sam makes some really dumb jokes in her excitement about the Overwatch League Playoffs. In the news, we've got a Friday the 13th Ultimate Slasher edition coming, Nathan Fillion made an Uncharted fan film, and we've got a new story trailer for the Spider-Man game! contact@geekheartgames.com Twitter & Facebook: @geekheartgames Twitch.tv/GeekHeartGames geekheartgames.com/youtube geeekheartgames.com/discord geekheartgames.com/shirts or geekheartgames.com/shirt Cody: @comicbookcody.

Sam has tried Pokemon Go. We talk about Pokemon. A lot. But we also cover the mysterious Oxenfree, the tedious State of Decay 2, and the free COD Black Ops 3! Overwatch League has returned (and it's now televised!) and Sam recaps her excitement of the first day of matches (after this recording, Philadelphia Fusion won their Quarterfinal map so plan for more excitement once the semi's roll around!) In the News, Warframe is coming to Switch! contact@geekheartgames.com Twitter & Facebook: @geekheartgames Twitch.tv/GeekHeartGames geekheartgames.com/youtube geeekheartgames.com/discord geekheartgames.com/shirts or geekheartgames.com/shirt Cody: @comicbookcody.

Pokemon Go is making a comeback! Is a Squirtle in sunglasses enough to lure Sam in? We also talk about skeleton dinosaurs in Ark, spinning limousines in Roundabout, if For Honor is not for everyone, and a couple of games dealing with dementia. It's a light news week, but we've got a jam-packed fall headed our way, so we set out our plans for which games we can't miss, and which ones can only come from a sale. contact@geekheartgames.com Twitter & Facebook: @geekheartgames Twitch.tv/GeekHeartGames geekheartgames.com/youtube geeekheartgames.com/discord geekheartgames.com/shirts or geekheartgames.com/shirt Cody: @comicbookcody.

This week in a Geek Heart Games first...Cody's played a sports game - NHL 18, and he's been making some serious progress in Hollow Knight! Sam faces her nemesis when she tries The Crew 2 Beta, and has been having a blast with the hilarious West of Loathing and Elder Scrolls Legends. Our duo has widely different opinions on Captain Toad Treasure Tracker. We go through the latest free games from PS Plus and Games with Gold...and we'd like to request that Playstation stop pushing the Quantic Dreams games on us please. We've got a quick segment on speedruns we've seen on Games Done Quick's summer event. AND OVERWATCH'S NEW HERO IS AN ADORABLE HAMSTER!!!

To celebrate Pride Month, we're talking about our favorite games with queer representation like Gone Home, Hustle Cat, Horizon Zero Dawn, Overwatch, Butterfly Soup and more! Queerly Represent Me (@QueerlyRepMe) runs a catalog of games with queer representation and they've been hosting Twitter polls all month to determine everyone's favorite game. We talk about some entries from their recent Game Jam which you can find at https://itch.io/jam/queerly-representing. And @IntChloeSpencer has been focusing on queer games this month for her 1 Game 1 Minute YouTube series at https://t.co/vCtfCWInPK. Overwatch League has continued to be a great supporter of pride month and congrats to LA Valiant - the stage 4 champions! We round out with some sad news for Friday the 13th, but some happy news for Xbox, Nintendo and Minecraft. CORRECTION: Trials Fusion does have female versions of skins! Sam just doesn't read! contact@geekheartgames.com Twitter & Facebook: @geekheartgames Twitch.tv/GeekHeartGames geekheartgame

It's EEEEEEEEEE33333333!!! We were super excited so we had to bring you a super long episode where we go through our reactions from E3! CORRECTION: Sam said the song from the Metro: Exodus trailer was "Teardrop" from Massive Attack, but it's actually "Angel" from Massive Attack - SORRY! CORRECTION: Sam told Cody are URL for Tee Spring is geekheartgames.com/shirt but it is was really geekheartgames.com/shirts. However, to make it easy, both now work!
