Less than a year ago today, the Sonic the Hedgehog movie was not in a good place. Leaks about the project pointed to a Sonic most fans wouldn't recognize and an extremely unfortunate teaser poster only made things worth. When the first...
So, like, what the hell am I supposed to do with all of these?
There is a moment in Code Shifter where one of the characters is asked to play through the game-within-a-game to test it for bugs and difficulty. She eagerly agrees at first, but when the scene jumps back to her a bit later, she's had enoug...
As a white person, I've watched more than 10,000 hours of HGTV. Whether I'm screaming at some spoiled college student on House Hunters International or rolling my eyes every time a designer recommends subway tile, the channel is my go-...
Unfortunately, Podtoid tapes early in the morning on Sunday (for me). So I can't make this post all about how happy I am Parasite made history last night because we just don't talk about it on the show. Instead, I'm focusing on what we...

I didn't think the Spirit Boards in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate would be something that would interest me much when they were first revealed, but here we are more than a year later and I can't get enough of them. They're a small and sim...
Why are people so desperate for a Nintendo Direct?
Dragon Ball FighterZ remains one of the most popular fighting games on the market and it's one developer Arc System Works and publisher Bandai Namco can't help but continue to support. Last month, we got word Ultra Instinct Goku would ...
On Sunday the world came together to watch the biggest game of the year and the Podtoid crew couldn't give any less of a shit about who beat who or who choked in the 4th. Instead, on this week's episode, CJ, Chris, Dan, Occams, and Charlott...
Not three days after I published my review-in-progress for Silver Falls: 3 Down Stars, the update players had been waiting for dropped. The game-breaking bugs plaguing those who picked it up were no more and everyone would be able to see th...
Boy, what a year this week has been. The Podtoid team is ready to sit back, relax, and wait for the coronavirus to kill us all. But before that happens, we want to answer your questions on the show. So if you have a question you want to ask...

One of the best franchises to emerge from the Wii/DS era was Trauma Center, Atlus's surgery sim franchise that featured strong writing, incredible characters, crushing difficulty, and clever use of motion and touch controls. A total of five...
The update for A Hat in Time on Switch has now made the game a smooth enough experience that I think I'll actually give it a shot now. Was not impressed before, but based on the two levels I tried out, this update is what I've been waiting for.
