This is the episode you've all been waiting for. While Th3Hoopman is out gallivanting around the world, ya boy is at home with my boots on the ground. I'm getting the scoop on visual novels and I'm joined by one of my good friends from college who is an expert in the genre. This week, we're talking about visual novels, cosplay, Pokemon, and recent outrage caused by the Collective Shout. This is a good one folks.

Hey everybody this is Arsene writing the bio this week. Just wanted to give you a slight heads up on this week's episode. Yes I may have stated that Joseph's points were valid but I want to clarify that they are only valid in the context of this iteration Mario Kart. Mario Kart World is and will forever be best iteration of Mario Kart and its little quirks are only detrimental to the whiny little nooblets who aren't able to win races in 150CC. Thank you for your time.

Wow a second episode has hit the airwaves this week??? And it's not a Cooldown™???? Man, the Player Player boys must have really been cooking in their absence these past 14 days. Honestly I think all fans of the podcast should get down on their hands and knees and bow down to Player Player. Swear your allegiance and loyalty. It's only right after what they've done for you. Anyways, we got a good episode this week where we discuss all that happened during Summer Games Fest. We also took some time to go over all the shiny new demos we pl...

It's Friday so you know we couldn't let y'all go into the weekend without a little Cooldown episode. This week is just more booling and fooling. It's what we do best.

Has Joseph finally finished Invincible? What viral meme does Arsene have for us this week? Why is the Boston Logan Airport one of worst-designed major airports in America? All these questions and more will be answered this time on dragonball z?

This title is complete clickbait, but we do at least discuss all these keywords at different points in the pod.

But seriously, we have so many topics to touch on this week, it was impossible to pick a main topic: PAX East, Marathon woes, Death Stranding 2, Doom the Dark Ages, you name it, we talked about it.

Arsene takes the listeners on a drive through space and time giving updates on his life and spreading the good word about Clair Obscur. (No Cooldown episode this week because this kinda is a combo episode I guess idk)

Today, we have a very special episode for everyone. We have a jam-packed program entirely (90% tbh) dedicated to the Switch 2 Direct and all the related fallout. We talk about likes, dislikes, speculations, and we even get a record number of listeners to give their thoughts on what has been a long awaited day for many gamers.

We got another monthly cooldown for you lovely people. The boys are getting into wacky shenanigans once again! We got foraging. We got comedy shows. We got Nintendo paraphernalia. What more could you want from a Player Player monthly cooldown? Probably a million dollars for each listener, but we don't have that kind of money!

We catch up on everything we've been watching, Kanye's associates, and a bunch of other nonsense

The boys manage to complete not one, not half of one, but TWO video game brackets in honor of March Madness this episode. The trick to actually accomplishing this was using entirely pre-made brackets to do 90% of the work for us. As a result, you get two heated discussions that you're not going to want to miss.

This episode Arsene will be playing the role of Icarus

For the main topic, the guys dive into some of their hottest (or coldest) video game opinions. They also offer up their initial impressions on Split Fiction and the new Xbox handheld news.

But you just read the question so now you're an accomplice. We're in this together and there is no backing out. Sucks to suck, bucko. Also Steam Next Fest is in full swing right now so listen to our opinions on a couple fun and exciting new demos!

2025 is looking like it'll be a bit of a battleground between the Big 3. Is the Covid Slump finally over or will the video game industry continue to sink into the abyss? I hope it's the latter exclusively for Ubisoft. Y'all need to do better over there.

Ngl I don't know what that title means. I just thought it would be funny to rhyme James with Games. What is wrong with me.... Anyways we got the Player Player official Games of Year episode this week. Big Hoop and Big Leek go through their top 10 games played this year and at the end we take the top 5 and put them on a pedestal for all to see.

Sony has officially gone TOO far this time! They're trying to buy the beloved Kadokawa Corporation! You know?

Find out on this week's episode of Player Player. Also Game Awards nominees are out and we go over those for a bit.

The guys return from their mini-Vegacation to break down all the highs and lows of the trip

If you're reading this, it's too late. The boys are headed to Vegas and most likely have lost all their money. Listen to their Vegas gameplan and a bunch of other nonsense here.

This week is a grab bag of topics including finding Joseph's perfect medieval/modern war game, Arsene's wild take on the Switch 2, and early Game Awards nominees

(Metaphor Refantazio is finally here! After years of waiting, the game is finally out. But is it worth the wait? Tune in to find out!) I asked AI to write the text in parentheses. Ngl it's pretty ass. So basic. No personality. No comedy. GPT is NOT the future. Anyways listen to our new episode if you want our thoughts on the Metaphor demo and hear about the top rated games released in 2024 so far! Also I think we might be done with Episode Numbers. Let us know what you think about that!

Our little buddy Arsene potentially took generational genetic damage from a chlorine gas explosion so we take it easy this week by talking about what we're playing, what we're playing, and a few things we're looking forward to.

Another lovely Monthly Cooldown for you, my dear friends. This week Joseph gives his final thoughts on Dead Dead Demon's De De De De Destruction (that is the real title) and Arsene almost gets scammed again. It is what it is, baybee!

Who will give the title of best list to? What about the worst? Is the Switch 2 leak real? How do our lists compare to yours? All this questions and more are answered on this week's episode!

Y'all please help me. I can't stop her. She's too powerful. All she wants to do is consume sweet potatoes. I'm either going to run out of money or the global supply of sweet potatoes is going to get wiped out. Parenting is hard y'all. Anyways, this monthly cooldown we're talking about sweet potatoes, orthopedics, homeless people, and Xbox. It's a banger ofc.

Arsene encounters more ghosts, his kid won't go to sleep, and he's got a smaller bed. Joseph doesn't know where he's hiking to. What's going on?

The Fall gaming season is revving up with a cute little showcase live from Europe. We breakdown all the hot moments from Opening Night Live including the Indiana Jones controversy, Reanimal vs. Lil Nightmares 3, Monster Hunter STILL MISSING HEALTH BARs and more!

You see the title. MHA is washed and it has been for a long time. Nobody's arguing about it. Nobody's defending it. It's a damn shame. To make up for MHA's shortcomings we discuss a few new anime that have recently caught our attention. Also Arsene went to the Georgia Aquarium.

Today we pose a question that would rattle our resident video game dating expert Jose to his core: Is dating in games even fun? Joseph returns to the show with chaos as we dive into the pros and cons of choice in games.  Prepare yourself as we look back on some of the best and worst implementations of choice-based mechanics including the morality system and relationship mechanics.

There's no wayyyyyyy! Since th3HoopMan is out of town, I got MY WIFE, Angelique, to guest on this week's episode of the Player Player Podcast. You know I had to quiz her a little bit on her video game knowledge to see how much she's grown over the years. Will she make her way through the video game trivia gauntlet? Tune in to find out!

Do you know how people say you must want to be helped before people can help you? Well I'm starting to think Arsene must want to be solicited to because the fact that he has ANOTHER story this week is too much. Join us as we relive another unbelievable story of him being harassed before diving into spoiler-free Game of Thrones talk, Meow Wolf discussions, and more.
