All of the Day returns with just a standard episode! No gimmicks just the hits! This week Cheston talks about the second Gameboy Advance Castlevania game and Derek discusses Live a Live before briefly touching on Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Setzer is still in a Monster Hunter hole so nothing new on that front. On the news side, things that are potentially worse than microtransactions are discussed. Also, is playing a lot of games bad for your mental health? No. Well, okay, we discuss it anyway.  Intro theme: Battle! vs boss from Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Outro theme: Megalomania from Live-a-Live Twitter: @allofthedaypod Email: allofthedaypodcast@gmail.com

All of the Day is back! This week, we do a little something different and discuss the mechanics in games that drive us bonkers.

Setzer finally gets his hands on Monster Hunter Rise, Cheston plays the hottest game of 2020 Fall Guys and Derek plays another musou! Also he got a steam deck and that'd discussed briefly. I hope you enjoy emulation chatter! ...I know I do! In the news section, the contents of Nintendo's secret vault gets discussed. Also Bioware's dumb e-currency bites the dust which means the much beloved Cerberus Cerberus network is no longer functioning. RIP. No game this week but next episode we're gonna try an alternate format so look forward to that!

Derek discusses some Castlevania and Persona 4, Cheston dishes on TMNT: Shredder's Revenge and also Castlevania and Setzer also discusses Cas...just kidding, he talks briefly about Breath of the Wild before asking for buying advice on a meme game from pandemic's past.  There is no news this week so the fellas keep it loose and play a little game. Why does Atlus hate money so much? What does Star Field make you think of? Lots of questions are answered! We also go in depth on some food hot takes.

Noire, Cheston gives a book report on Reggie Fils-Aime's autobiography and then a movie review on the Uncharted movie and Setzer finally has a chance to break down Breath of the Wild. Anything is possiblllllleeee. In the news this week, Activision-Blizzard's inclusion algorithm gets mocked. The topic of what franchises should or shouldn't be milked also gets brought up. Oh and...do I smell a sequel to the switch? No? ...Well hey, maybe someday. The game this week sees the boys talk about a variety of recent controversies and assigning SPF grades based on how much help they need. It's not so confusing when you hear it play out! email: allofthedaypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @alloftheday Intro theme: Nate's theme from Uncharted 1-3 Outro theme: Bink's Sake/Brew instrumental from One Piece

All of the Day is back! It's been a couple weeks so Derek has brought a lot of games to the table. Triangle Strategy, Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Chrono Cross to be exact. Meanwhile Cheston found himself wrist deep in Lego Star Wars and Tunic! Setzer took the time to finally complete the FF XIV expansion. It was a long time coming boys but he liked it so the wait was worth it. In the news corner, super games are discussed. What even is a super game anyway? Well, we'll find out! The pricing of the latest Sonic port is also discussed along with the burning question of "why the hell don't they port Saturn games ever?" Also Kingdom Hearts 4 was announced. I'm sure nobody could be excited for that one.  In the games section, old franchises the boys would like to see revived are brought up. There are a lot of dead IPs out there apparently!  email: allofthedaypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @allofthedaypod Intro theme: Sonic Boom from Sonic CD (U) Outro theme: You can do Anything AKA Toot Toot Sonic Warrior from Sonic CD (JP)

Derek also got wrist deep into Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin while Setzer got a bit deeper into Final Fantasy XIV. About dang time! On the news side of things, press F for E3 because it has gone under! ...for 2022 at least. There's also a new video game subscription service coming down the pipeline so the fellas use this chance to rank some of the more well known subscription services in gaming. Sadly we neglect to rank Sega Channel. Sorry Segata bros. Intro theme: Through the Tunnel from Kirby and the Forgotten Land Outro theme: Marbule (Home World) from Chrono Cross Email: allofthedaypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @allofthedaypod

Hello and welcome back to All of the Day! I swear one day we will stop being so inconsistent. Until then! Cheston has finally cleared Earthbound after like a 20 year odyssey and has also put in some time with that there kirbeh. Setzer very briefly got into Final Fantasy XIV and Derek very briefly got into Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. Once again, Elden Ring dominates the 'what have we been playing' segment as both Derek and Setzer finished the fight! What did they think? ...Well spoiler they like it a lot. In the news...not much is going on this week so the fellas talk about the dumpster fire that is Gran Turismo 7 and then spin that off into a conversation about grinding in general. Nobody really likes grinding...or do they? Well Derek loves Disgaea so there's at least one. email: allofthedaypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @allofthedaypod Intro theme: Shadows Rising from Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin Outro theme: The First Hunter from Bloodborne

All of the Day is back! This week, Derek finishes up Horizon Forbidden West, Cheston plays roughly 80 games and Setzer finally buys a Switch. Oh and a little game called Elden Ring came out. I'm sure a thing or two is said about it.  In the news, truthfully there isn't much this week but Babylon's Falls player count did not go unnoticed by the boys. Two whole maps are also being added to Halo. Wow! Then there's also some fun kicking around of ollllll Dragon Age 4. Poor game is due for a win any day now! Finally, in our game, Chef Chesteau is back! We choose between the most unfortunate horizon title, whether Metroid Prime 4 beats Dragon Age 4 out the door and whether the Switch OLED or Steam Deck is the definitive portable gaming system. Among other things. Exciting! Email: allofthedaypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @alloftheday Opening theme: Erdtree Knight from Elden Ring Closing theme: RIP from Triangle Strategy

All of the Day is back! Hooray! This week feels like a continuation of last week as far as what we've been up to. Setzer is still tinkering away at Scarlet Nexus until Elden Ring comes out, Cheston is still plugging away at Earthbound (and also at a network test for the wii sports sequel zero people asked for) and Derek finished the Sonic Unleashed epic that was like a year in the making! ...And also played some Horizon Forbidden West. Exciting! In the news, Nintendo is closing down the eshop for the 3DS and Wii U. Didn't learn your lesson from Sony eh? Platinum is potentially dangling itself out for purchase, physical games are becoming more niche and....despite expecting nothing, Derek was STILL disappointed with some recent WWE 2K news. How will he endure? In the game segment this week, the prices of some 'rare' games are discussed. There are some real doozies in this one from unexpected sources.  email: allofthedaypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @allofthedaypod Opening theme: Eliminate the Others from Scarlet Nexus Closing theme: Franky's theme from Earthbound/Mother 2

All of the Day returns with a very special...normal edition of the show! This week Setzer continues his march through the Scarlet Nexus bog, Cheston revs up Earthbound for the first time ever and also checks back in with a Xenoblade update and Derek revisits old punching bag Sonic Unleashed and has a shocking new perspective.  In the news, there was a Nintendo Direct! That's all that matters, right? No? Well, okay, there was also some talk about Sony making a cool new AI that can obliterate pros at racing and MAME (not mugen dammit) celebrates its 25th birthday. The king of emulators! ...Except maybe zsnes of course. This week's game sees us guessing what franchises will rise from their graves. Will Rock Band come back? What about Banjo-Kazooie or F-Zero or Quake? Our answers will probably (not) shock you! email: allofthedaypodcast@gmail.com twitter: @allofthedaypod Intro music: Mute City (melee version) from Super Smash Brothers Mleee Outro music: Metal Gear Solid main theme from Metal Gear Solid

Welcome back to All of the Day! We took a couple of weeks off because Derek (49ers) and Cheston (Rams) had teams that went deep into the NFL playoffs, but we are back now! This week Setzer wraps up the long and winding road that was Red Dead Redemption 2, Cheston plays some Xenoblade Chronicles and Derek touches on a little game called Pokemon Legends: Arceus. In the news, wow, there were a lot of acquisitions while we were gone! If we took another week off, Nintendo might have been purchased by Sony or something! ...Let's hope not. The metaverse and whether bad games are better than bland games also gets some discussion. This week, a price is right style game is played. The boys have to guess the prices of some famous DLC. How much did Horse Armor cost? How about Protoman in Mega Man 9? Who wins a...BRAND NEW CAR? Or nothing at all but bragging rights really? Intro theme: Gaur Plain from Xenoblade Chronicles Outro theme: We Are! (instrumental) from One Piece Game theme: The Price is Right theme song (pls no bully viacom) email: allofthedaypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @allofthedaypod

All of the Day is back again! This week, Cheston gets to experience fatherhood for a second time by welcoming in his second child! Despite this, he had time to get himself wrist deep into Paper Mario. Derek played the classic Ninja Gaiden Black and Setzer is still beating the Red Dead Redemption 2 drum...which he might be doing for a while yet. In the news, NF...just kidding, no NFT news this week! Yay! But we do talk about microtransactions in Halo again and Microsoft wishing for a way to universally ban problematic people. It should be noted that this episode was recorded BEFORE the Microsoft/Activision mega acquisition so that is not mentioned at all. The topic of Roblox and monetizing children is also broached. Just what everyone wanted, adult men talking about Roblox! For this week's little game, we have fun with IGN's Top 100 games list. Could we do better? Not likely. But hey, we try to futz around with it a little bit anyway.  Opening theme: The Tower of Dawn from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Closing theme: The Flutter from Mega Man Legends News intro theme: Dr. Light's Laboratory from Mega Man 8 Game intro theme: Grunty's Furnace Fun from Banjo-Kazooie Email: allofthedaypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @allofthedaypod

All of the Day returns! This week, Setzer bounced right off of Control but then fell head first into a Red Dead Redemption 2 hole. Cheston decided to get back into Dicey Dungeons again and Derek has takes on Deathloop and the long promised complete visit to Balan Wonderworld. Seriously, don't play that game unless you hate yourself like Derek does. In the news, would you believe there's more NFT talk? Because there is! Also the Playstation VR 2 was announced and E3 2022 is going to be online only...again. Probably for good? Well, who can say. "All Takes Considered" is also played. Finally, NPR meets video games, a truly blissful marriage. Is there a reason to do a faithful remake? Is Halo's shitty open world good, actually? Is IGN's Top-100 worth reading? Find out! email: allofthedaypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @allofthedaypod Opening theme: Jim Milton Rides Again from Red Dead Redemption 2 Closing theme: Chapter 6: Clocktower from Balan Wonderworld News intro theme: Setzer's theme from Final Fantasy VI Game intro theme: Grunty's Furnace Fun from Banjo-Kazooie

All of the Day is back for the new year! We are back to normal after two weeks of game of the year nonsense. Derek played a bunch of old games during the break (specifically Ocarina of Time and Mario 64), Setzer got wrist deep into Dishonored 2 and Cheston talks about the critic approved version of 12 Minutes, Overboard. And also a bunch of other stuff. On the news front, NFT discussion is back yet again. The boys also discuss a possible Death Stranding 2, Nintendo taking a hacker to court and the analogue pocket. After the news, the boys play a prediction game for 2022. What will get delayed? What will the critics say gets game of the year? What do they think will actually be the game of the year? Who is gonna get fired this year and why should it be Bobby Kotick?

All of the Day returns again with the final episode of 2021! Recoil in fear as Derek, Cheston and Setzer unveil their top favorite games of 2021. Derek and Cheston go the traditional route of "best games released in the calendar year 2021" while Setzer opts for the "best games I played in 2021." Not going to spoil the listerinos in the description, but it's safe to say that Metroid Dread, Psychonauts 2 and Deathloop are all very well represented. Intro theme: Gbraakon Escape from Halo Infinite Outro theme: I from 12 Minutes. Email: allofthedaypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @allofthedaypod See you in 2022.

Welcome back to All of the Day! For the second straight year, the boys break down a bunch of arbitrary categories and hand out a bunch of arbitrary awards.

Awards for the following are given out: Best Old Old Game (i.e. Best Game Not Released This Year That Had Some Significance to Us This Year For Whatever Reason) Best New Old Game (i.e. Best Remake, Remaster, or PORT) The One That Got Away Award for Game You Wish You Had Played (or played more of) Best Mario Party Mini-Game Best Moment or Sequence The Sensory Subjectivity Award for Best Art Direction Best Delay Setzer Memorial Award for Scam of the Year Worst Cameo Worst Trend Golden Caca Award for Worst Game You Played This Year Next week will be our overall games of the year.

Hello and welcome back to All of the Day! After a signature week off, the crew comes back to discuss the rest of Shin Megami Tensei V, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, FFXIV Endwalker, Deathloop and a whole heaping helping of Halo discourse. In the news, It Takes Two gets sued! How bizarre! Also it's alleged that a new Dragon Age is coming eventually and a strangely high number of xbox cloud players elect to use touch controls. Insanity. The boys also play a game of "naughty or nice." Who gets coal? Who gets presents? I'm sure you can figure it out.
