Impossible Coin

So Tegan may be dying. There's that. But our game master, Rocky is hunting for nat twenties to save her. Brian and Rocky talk Monster Hunter World, Tegan tempts Brian with stories of how profoundly busted Elex is and we find out what is mixed in with Rocky's regular porn. We also meet two unscrupulous charlatans, Jimmy Gamestop and Michael Transaction. At least they don't like clopping.

Well, it all comes down to this. Rocky, Tegan and Brian gather to hash out The Big One. What will come of Brian's battle against Splatoon 2? Will Tegan's assertion that What Remains of Edith Finch kill it as dead as the characters in that game? Can Rocky's raw passion for Persona 5 power it onto the list? How much more Hellblade can Rocky and Tegan stand? Where will the twin titans of Nintendo land on the list?   zOMG ALL TEH DRAMA.

It's time for the tough calls. It's time for hurt feelings. Listen as your heroes, Tegan, Rocky and Brian begin to shore up their shady deals for next weeks battle for all the marbles. This week the hills they die on are: Most Reprehensible Business Practice Best Story Most Satisfying Challenge Best Moment

It's time to talk audio y'all. And some other stuff. Tegan, Rocky and Brian are back in the trench for Game of the Year. This week they hit:   Best Audio Best Girl Best Boy Best Art

It's that time of year. Rocky, Tegan and Brian get out the knives (not Gabe Newell's) and proceed to do the Lord's work. They narrow the games they love into arbitrary lists in carefully selected categories.  This week they discuss:   Best Meme Biggest Surprise Biggest Disappointment Best New Character 

The continued slow-motion car wreck that is Microtransactiongate is further dissected by the team. The gang speculates on how to make PUBG more socialist. Brian is concerned about the well-being about a game show host who lives in a cage. Tegan tells us about a new mode in Splatoon and it only sounds filthy. Rocky retells a filthy surrealist joke and unlike Splatoon it actually IS filthy. Woof woof cowabunga.

Hey Impossible Coin fans! We're back to prime you for turkey day. Unless you live in a municipality where turkey will not be served or you don't care for giant, angry game birds. The team gets into DEEP spoiler territory for Doki Doki Literature Club from the sound of the hip-hop air horn to the 30:50 mark. We discuss the disconnect of the PS4 from meme magic, Cole Phelps willingness to test for semen, the boondoggle that is Battlefront II, hypothetical Ohio listeners, and the odds that Mario is going to make time with Minions.

Rocky is out of office this week so Tegan and Brian hold it down and talk about the stuff. What stuff? Mario pro-tips regarding tomatoes, rapidly spreading viruses, the location of Minnesota, EA and the awfulness EA does, and lay-offs at Telltale. Spoiler warning: ugly pants are discussed twice on this show.

Hey team! This week's episode is a few hours early because Brian is home and feels like garbage. His loss is your victory. Some business gets discussed including some Zelda hot takes, Assassin's Creed hot takes and the hottest takes on garbage places to buy sub sandwiches in Arizona. Guest Joe Spiro is a bad influence on Brian and Rocky and draws a through line from one hundred Waluigis jumping out of a plane to Jet Li. Also Moira is trouble and we have thoughts.

The day of days happened and all the video games came out. The team digs into impressions of Super Mario Odyssey, Assassin's Creed Origins, and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. Also, the team finally have an opportunity to dig into the implosion of NeoGAF. Nintendo and IO Interactive made the team very happy and Tegan is convinced that Brian should not give his cats milk. Rocky discovers an amusing Twitter bot and wackiness ensues.

The team opened a loot crate that allows them to discuss the end of Visceral Games. The Switch firmware update is neat and full of mystery. The unexpected sequel to the taco discussion is "But is it anime?" Activision's troubling patent prompts some discussion. Rocky is way, way deep into Stardew Valley. Tegan's been playing Doki Doki Literature Club but 'it' hasn't happened yet. Brian plays 'A Mortician's Tale' which prompts Rocky to briefly outline his funeral plans which sound more complicated than an ARG. Games about the death industry. What a time to be alive.

All kinds of business is addressed this week. Rocky is mourning for an anime fan that preferred colder climates. The ethics of zoos are discussed and dismantled. A Russian cyberattack is examined and the team comes to the conclusion that Psyduck's loyalties cannot be swayed. Tegan plays Shadow of War and the team breaks down the current rash of microtransactions. The first rule of Doki Doki Literature Club is that you do not spoil Doki Doki Literature Club.

Everybody the team encountered a personal tragedy this week. Tegan doesn't like tacos. This information was surfaced as part of another conversation about whether or not bandanas are hats. (Spoiler, it's a split decision.) Rocky and Brian hit Kingsman: The Golden Circle a little bit. Video game business takes center stage when the team digs into Andrew House's departure, Street Fighter V Arcade Edition, Huniepop 2 and it's associated moral dilemmas and PUBG. Because there is always PUBG.

A day late and a dollar short. Look, you are here for truth and not excellence. Despite this episode's tardiness the gang has both truth and excellence in abundance. Learn more of Tegan's postman suitor and the unusual place she grows sweet potatoes. Hear Rocky recount tales of Golf Story for the Switch. And Gabe Newell put down his knives long enough to throw some trash off Steam.

Greetings friends! The crew is back with the goods. They get into fine Japanese dining, craft beer, Gabe Newell's knife collection, Tokyo Game Show highlights, Randy Pitchford's hubris and a tear jerker of a hidden golf game. Rocky backs off his previous speculation about Octopath Traveler and Brian has a dress-up fashion good time. Thankfully for Tegan, she got to autumn just in time.

Welcome gentle listeners to another episode of Impossible Coin. This week the hosts dig into the Nintendo Direct, Brian's improbable love of fashion games, real banana bread, intangible guacamole, Nintendo voice chat, Apple exclusives, Bruce Straley's future, Bungie's need for a memeologist and a Scandanavian man-child. Just remember that Mario Party is or is not fun depending on your perspective and believe in Festival Hardbody's eventual comeback. Convex buttons are not the issue, FChamp. #freehardbody #convexconspiracy

Hey there listeners! Tegan is out of office and no one sat in to supervise Brian and Rocky. So it went the way you expected. There is affectionate discussion of bad fighting games both new and old, Brian hates weather news, they're both continually horrified at WB Interactive and they find reason in The Pokemon Company's salty statement. 

Greetings listeners! Rocky, Tegan and Brian get into it this time. By "it" we mean Twin Peaks and its influence on some games we have played, Subsurface Circular, the incredibly pleasant surprise of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and secret Switch voice chat. The team finds time to compliment a developer's uniquely awesome business practices, marvel at Japanese MacDonald's, try a little ASMR marketing, suggest Overwatch's fanbase fan fervor and horniness could power the earth and tell everyone about a very dangerous fire hazard.

The Impossible Coin crew sort through the hard-hitting issues. Theses topics include an impending format change for the show, the Night Trap contest, Nintendo's resemblance to Yeezus, the gig economy, the slow redesign of Cortana, managing a cult and the introduction of a new host who specializes in Instagram. His name is Festival Hardbody. 

The team at Impossible Coin hit a variety of topics this week. Rocky explores a work without tanks in Final Fantasy XiV and burning husks in Fortnite. Tegan digs into Splatoon and the NEED for physical cards. Brian's hometown was invaded by Nazis and bought Night Trap. And now we are giving away Night Trap. Listen to the episode to find out what you need to do throw your crumpled fedora into the ring for it.
