Hey, you smell that? It kinda smells like...like...EXCITEMENT! It's the most wonderful time of the year for video games as the world heads into E3 next week. And the Dogcast is here to talk all about it (over some delicious brew, natch)! We discuss many hard-hitting questions such as: What new crazy announcements may be unveiled? Will we see a new console from Nintendo or Microsoft? What will E3 be like without Sony in attendance? Will Dino Crisis make a comeback featuring Jeff Goldblum? Does anyone really remember Dino Crisis? And so much more! We also discuss Brad's recent dive into Super Mario Odyssey, Josh fisting a North Star, and Tom tells tales from the crummy middle ages after a playthrough of A Plague Tale - Innocence. So grab a nice Milkshake IPA (or your beer of choice), kick back, and enjoy the calm before the E3 storm!

That's it. We just can't hold it in anymore, so it's confession time: We STILL have a crush on that purple-gray little console from the 90's: The Super Nintendo. We've wanted to tell you for awhile, but it's just been so hard, you know? Especially with all these fancy new-fangled next-gen consoles prancing around like they're Miyamotos gift to pixels. Sure, the SNES may be a bit yellowed since the old days and the eject button may not have the same spring it once had, but even after all these years we just can't quit you!  (Cue sappy Peter Gabriel music). This week, we invite you to come along with the Dogcast on a deeper dive of our favorite Super Nintendo games and also a bunch of hidden gems that may not have exactly gotten the attention they deserved back in their prime, but should not be missed! And also a couple games you should avoid like a rusty nail sticking out of a park bench.  We also drink some excellent beers on this episode, including the incredible "Smells Like Bean Spirit" by Mikerphone Brewi

It's a super-special limited edition BONUS EPISODE! C'mon in and experience highlights of our Midwest Gaming Classic '19 interviews with such gaming superstars as: Walter Day! Howard Phillips!

Have you ever played a game that you hoped would be good, but was even better than you had expected? Or played a gae that didn't quite live up to your own hype levels? Hey, we've all been there--and this week the Dogcast is here to talk about it! Join Brad and Tom as they discuss a whole bunch of games throughout their gaming history that either pleasantly surpassed their expectations or unfortunately fell a bit (or a lot) short.
