Hair Of The Dogcast

Buckle up for one of the CRAZIEST Dogcasts ever!  This week we play an incredibly fun game of "Would You Rather?" by discussing, debating, and laughing uncontrollably at questions and scenarios sent in from the Hair of the Dogcast listener community!   Thank you to all who submitted questions--you are all wonderful (and some of you are incredibly twisted...in the BEST way possible).  And let it be known: This is the episode where the Dogcast crew were (quite literally) exposed to the existence of Uncle O'Grimacey. Our lives will never be the same. We also discuss Bioware on the brink after some prominent talent departures, Nintendo facing fan backlash, next-gen console goodness (and badness), and so much more!

Nolan North!  We are not worthy!   The Dogs are back to finish their discussion on Naughty Dog's illustrious history.  From Jak and Daxter to The Last of Us 2, we go deep on all of these games and their sometimes controversial development.

Um...Boo! BOO! Did we scare you?! Yeah, you can admit it: bet you're positively horrified right now. And that's ok, because we are too!  Today we're talking about games that weren't necessarily supposed to be scary, but still ended up scaring the LIVING BEER-JEEZUS out of us! Why?  Well, it's almost Halloween and things are getting a little spooky 'round here.  Oh, did you know one of us even lived in a grave yard? Yeah, we didn't either...until this episode! But that's not all! We also talk a little bit of PS5's new interface, get down with some juicy Xbox rumors, celebrate Playstation 2's big ol' birthday, review some great beers (including a cotton candy sour), and so much more! Oh, and get our first impressions of the new Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit from Nintendo. How well does it work? Is it fun? Is it just a cheap toy? Is it just a means to terrorize household pets?

MORTAL KOMBAT!! and its really crappy third trilogy.  The Raw Dogs are back to discuss the dark ages of the beloved franchise before we gush about how much we love 9, 10, and 11.   We ponder time travelling back to ourselves and become way too fixated on Hsu Hao.  Who wouldn't though right? This was a Patreon exclusive episode being made available to the public for the first time.  Raw Dogs are taking a month off but will be back in full force for our 1 year anniversary on November 19th. LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE and we will perform a FRIENDSHIP on you ;)

What do you get when you mix blindfolds and some of the worst beer in the world?  Podcast GOLD, that's what!  Join us this week as we put our beer taste buds to the test by playing our first-ever game of "Craft or Crap?!!!", a blindfolded beer taste competition to see how well we can tell the difference between some great CRAFT beer and some of the worst-rated, CRAP beers in the world!  We're looking at (and unfortunately tasting) YOU, Natural Lights.  The results are--shall we say--entertaining to say the least! Don't miss it! And because we also love video games, we discuss recent Playstation 5 news, rumblings in the land of Minecraft, and we give the Sega Dreamcast a big ol' nostalgia hug and kiss!

We love Indie games! In recent years, Indie games have experienced an incredible trajectory: what used to be relatively obscure--yet deeply beloved--games developed and self-published by a handful of passionate people have since rocketed through the mainstream gaming stratosphere and are now played (and in most cases, still deeply beloved) by millions. In fact, many of gameplay innovations happening in triple-A games today have their roots in and have originally been explored in Indie titles. And in many cases, what started out as Indie games have now become some of the biggest franchises in the world--lookin' at you Minecraft. And today The Dogcast celebrates them! Also on this episode: - We celebrate the 35th Birthday of Super Mario Bros! But...has Nintendo crossed the line with its fans?! - We'll talk about Microsoft's "leaky" next-gen console reveal. - Um, Beetleborgs? - Dylan reviews the Indie title "Astrozombies" and begins a career in stand-up comedy. - Tony Hawk 1+2 Remake - We drink and give our thou

We're looking at you, you dumb Castlevania Medusa heads. We hate you so much! SO. MUCH. Gosh! Also on this episode: - Everyone hates Madden?! - Is Bill and Ted: Face the Music the movie we deserve? - An old friend returns to help Halo. - We predict Brad's Persona 5 waifu! - Pinball is Life.

Whew! You know, we always thought summer was supposed to be a chill, happy time of the year.  A time to lie back, crack open a tasty brew and enjoy the calm before the super-craziness of the fall.  But these are strange times indeed and the world of video games has been rocked by a big bunch o' bombshell headlines this past week!  Apple and Google have yanked Fortnite from their app stores--and Epic Games has filed a potentially industry-changing lawsuit in turn.  But is Epic doing the right thing and should we care?  It's a real "David and Goliath" story of how one "tiny" multi-billion dollar company is trying to go after the trillion dollar "big guys".  Strap in kids, it's a real whopper of a tale and The Dogcast is here to talk all about it.  Oh, and did we mention Microsoft delayed Halo: Infinite indefinitely?  Yeah, that happened.  And that's not even all that happened! And on top of THAT, we are excited to be joined this week by not one, but TWO of our favorite guest-hosts in the whole Dogcast world: Ex

You don't want to miss this!
