But she's got a new hat!

We discuss lots of reboots, releases, and remakes, you have to buy them because they've got a new hat! This means:
Persona 3
Prince of Persia
of course more about the impending FFVII remake release (oh, broody Cloud, we hope you find happiness).
Robert also talks about Another Code, and the ubiquitousness of Kairosoft games.
And for no reason at all we touch on our current TV show obsession.
Come play with us!
 
 
 

Starcade! Star Wars edition

So this exists and is much funner than Captain N!
We continue our exploration of ancient videogame media with the game show Starcade and we need you to know about it!
We give Robert the opportunity to answer some of the questions, it goes as well as you might expect given the media we are dealing with.
They probably should have found a host that didn't seem passively antagonistic toward videogames.
That hair and clothes though! Wow, that style was definitely a choice I didn't need to be reminded of.
Do game shows usually have kids and adults compete together?
Are there still arcades in the US or have they gone the way of the dinosaurs?
Come play with us! And come watch with us on the Zeboyd YouTube channel!
 

2024 Game Awards - First!

Yep your read that right!
Everyone that posts theirs later in the year will just be copying us!
We share the most unexpected videogame highlights of all of 2024. We have seen the future and, oh boy, will you be surprised.
And, because our attention spans have never been even remotely adequate, we reveal some (very one-sided) beefs that Robert has in the game industry and just talk A LOT of nonsense!
Come play with us!

Captain N ep 13 - The Wizard of Bots

We made it! The last Captain N episode of season one, We have sacrificed our time and our well-being to experience this atrocity.
Today we discuss:
Dr Right (Light?) giving Mega man a slave girl for his birthday (we can all agree that's wrong).
Shannon is so unbelievably done and will be replaced for the second season... wait, no sorry, Captain N: The Gamemaster will be replaced for the second season.
The one high and the many, many lows of the show and the ensuing confusion and despair. (Simon was a mostly naked ape baby, people!)
What is the name of the dog from Duckhunt? (We just couldn't give one more minute to this trainwreck!)
Come play with us!

2023 in review (and some digressions!)

2023 is almost over! Have you accomplished everything you wanted to?
We discuss the past, present, and future of Zeboyd! ("we will not shut out the lessons that they teach.")
What are we most proud of this year?
Let's discuss Christmas videogames (including Cthulhu Saves Christmas).
Controversial topic alert! What makes a Christmas movie? We decisively put that discussion to rest!

Captain N Episode12: Metroid Sweet Metroid

Wow, that title sounds like one we made up! But it isn't and it makes absolutely no sense, as usual.
The princesses personality changes once again to fit the story, (she doesn't deserve any actual personality)!
If Kevin is returning home to play videogames, he definitely won't need his Nintendo controller!
Mother Brain comes up with half of a workable plan! (and then she bites it).
Join us, and our demographically age-appropriate guest, to talk about all of this and more.
Come play with us!

Zeboyd Game Awards NOW WITH AWARDS AND BANTER!!!

HAHAHAHA This is not the comedy we intended to do at the start of the awards show. Here is the Zeboyd Game Awards, again, but this time with awards and actual words (we spared no expense on that).
It's the 2023 Zeboyd Game Awards!
Who will win? Who will lose?
How will we obfuscate the term 'indie game' for our own gain?
What choices will Robert make that are categorically wrong?
How much will we dunk on Atlus (there's always a little dunking)?
Join Robert and Producer Miss Anthropy to find out!
Editors note: Shannon does not appear in this episode because she was trapped under something heavy and couldn't get to the computer. She still had to edit it though, so we eventually found a way to get a computer to her. But then she messed up the first upload so maybe that was bad all around.
Editor's note (again): Shannon is in favor of a barista simulator game and feels affronted by the dismissive discussion herein.

Captain N ep 11 - In Search of the Father (or ’objects in mirror are closer than they appear’)

Welcome to our Captain N episode 11 unpacking. Thanks for joining us, here's what we know:
If you are only slightly good then your opposite will only be slightly bad?
How evil do you have to be to actually be evil?
What does too much eye shadow say about you?
We come out in favor of food fights.
Can we keep some of the evil versions of the characters and trap the good-uns in the mirror dimension forever?
And more!
Come commiserate with us! 
And watch the ep with us on the Zeboyd YouTube channel  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PWRjDf4kzY
