Happy Belated Holidays, D-Pads! As promised, we finally sat back down to exchange the gifts we forgot to give one another during our 2025-26 New Years Power Hour countdown. And, hey, since we're turning the mics on, why not catch ourselves up on all the fun stuff we've been up to since the break! We get into the weeds with Arc Raiders, Marty Supreme, and much more!

Where have you been, D-Pads? We've been here, but we haven't seen you? Have our episodes not been posting, or have we just not had time for a check-in in a few months? You be the judge! This week we were stoked to find some time to recap one of the greatest years in gaming history including Hollow Knight: Silksong, a few must-see movies like One Battle After Another, and some split opinions on TV Shows like Peacemaker!

We're coming back 2 Fast, D-Pads! This week, there are too many 2's to talk about! Death Stranding 2, Switch 2, The Last of Us Season 2... and more! We couldn't hold it in any longer, so we decided to dust off the microphones and hit record for your listening pleasure.

Did you miss us, D-Pads? Well we missed you! We couldn't wait to turn the mics back on and start shootin' the poop. It's been months since we were able to sit across a small room from one another and have our favourite para-social listeners voyeuristically consume everything we had to say. We're well on our way to planning the next step of our content journey, but in the meantime we figured we'd bring everyone up to speed with our experiences playing games like Civilization 7, Mouthwashing, and Citizen Sleeper, PLUS our impressions of the recent Death Stranding 2 launch trailer!

It's always a little funny, a little informative, and inevitably a little sappy as we get closer to that countdown.

It's time to turn a new page, D-Pads! This is the week we usher in a new change to The Retrograde: A Video Game Podcast!

Time to Climb, D-Pads! This week we made the awful decision to try to claw, jump, (and drive?) our way out of hell in Chained Together! It's a game that's been taking the streaming world by storm, so we figured it'd be a great way to test our "friendship" (read: six year podcasting relationship). We tackled the first 45 minutes of the game over on our YouTube channel, so make sure to check that out here: https://youtu.be/eUl1aGB2a6E In this episode we give our full thoughts on the game, PLUS some impressions of the latest sensation Astro Bot as well as Star Wars: Outlaws.

This is a big one, D-Pads! We've finally decided to tackle the list to end all lists! We've danced around it since the beginning of our podcast, but now that we're 6 years deep and just around the corner from a massive change to our release schedules, we decided to give the people what they want: our lists of the top 10 games of all time! Is it subjective? Sure! Does that mean you'll still get extremely upset with us for not including Final Fantasy? Also sure! Before getting into the lists, Andrew breaks down his first impressions of Star Wars: Outlaws, and Mikey turns his nose up at Lies of P.

Hey! Listen, D-Pads! This week we tackle one of the most celebrated video games of all time. It's The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past! The Super Nintendo didn't know what hit it when this game launched way back in the early 90's, and to be honest: neither did we! Somehow neither of us played this video game back when it came out, so in spite of our growing love of Zelda, this marked our FIRST experience with what some consider to be the best video game of all time. Plus: Andrew has finally finished Alan Wake 2, so we take some time up top to share our thoughts! Make sure to catch the gameplay segment for today's episode where we play the first 45 minutes here: https://youtu.be/5oKXrvanyd0

Listen up, D-Pads! We're going heavy on the audio this week as we sit down to iron out our lists of top 5 Gaming Soundtracks of all time! There's a hefty helping of subjectivity in this episode, so bear with us as we try to justify our picks with a single song off of each soundtrack to justify our love. Plus: we explain how ghosts are real, and Mikey tries Sifu.

Earmuffs, D-Pads! This week you might not want to hear some of what we have to say. Back by popular demand, we decided to sit down and rattle off some of our biggest gripes and hottest takes from the world of gaming. Which game franchise fumbled the ball the worst? Does we need achievements in games? What game mechanics need to GO? Plus, we give some impressions on Deadpool & Wolverine, and get a bit farther in Alan Wake 2!
