Debuting our new segment, Game Talk! Starting with the Yakuza series, in tandem with the new Yakuza: Like A Dragon release (Time Stamps below for topics)! Because we're not all always available at the same time, it becomes difficult, especially near the end of the year, to schedule a podcast, so Game Talk is a new segment where any of us can host a game topic of discussion and invite anyone else to join, without needing another CS member to be present (though they still can be).
This discussion on Yakuza brings up a lot of topics though remains spoiler free to much of anyone listening (for the ..read more

Our official 1-year anniversary since recording episode and a brand new segment! Our Profiles segment in which we focus and learn more about any members or guests, following the Hot Ones format with a few of our own tweaks, and we're starting with Distro! This is actually a video recording that is only available on our YouTube channel; no faces though, because as we've mentioned before, preventing any possible legal issues (yes, we know, it's not as fun without seeing the facial reaction; maybe down the line)! Our 1-year anniversary was actually 2 months ago, but between the current global cir ..read more

Wow, for whatever reason, this is being uploaded much later than intended! This episode was actually sitting ready for upload but somehow flew under the radar! We talk about the Skyward Sword HD and the 2020 Game Awards (yes, it's THAT late of a notice). We only noticed because we were just about to upload a new episode ..read more

Although this was recorded quite a few months ago, much of the topics discussed is still relevant now for GameStop, or if anything, brings into more detail with how employees dealt with changes that were happening with the onset of the pandemic. In this episode, we have new guests FDO (at the time, recently left GameStop) and Marketing (who was still working there).
We talked about the TikTok Competition, GME Stocks, courier change from UPS to FedEx, working during the release of PS5/XSX, changing to the new bestsellers game displays format and working the holidays - all during the pandemic (a ..read more

And we're back! We recorded this episode way back in January 27, but due to a lot of life things, it just wasn't finished editing until recently. This is quite a long one as we discuss PlayStation Exclusives (or in the case of Horizon, previously exclusive) and predict where the sequel may take the games; as such, we've split this recording into 3 segments (although you can listen to it in full on our YouTube channel!)
This segment focuses on God of War and we have Cyrus joining in again (with the full team)!
Disclaimer: We discuss a lot of additional Nordic lore ..read more
