Jason and Jett enjoyed a Vegas weekend filled with exfoliation, chicken and waffles, and Topanga sightings. Also, Dead Island: Riptide opens the door for a discussion about disappointing sequels.

Fake Ed Boon addresses the Deathstroke haters, explains why Goro isn’t in Injustice: Gods Among Us, and discusses the complications of making Mortal Kombat vs. NBA Jam. Besides our special guest, Mat’s friend has become a trolling manic, Jason got to play the follow-up to A Link to the Past, and Jett shares two very important facts about Iceland.

Jason has no shortage of mean things to say about Double Dragon II: Wanderer of the Dragon. Jett is pumped for Injustice: Gods Among Us. Mat is knee deep in BioShock Infinite. The Bosscast also pour one out for LucasArts.

One of gaming’s great debates derails our two-year anniversary celebration for the Nintendo 3DS. Of course, BioShock Infinite also makes its way into the discussion, alongside MLB 13: The Show, Hitman: Absolution, Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon and more!

With Bioshock Infinite just a few weeks away, we reminisce on our experiences with the franchise and our dreams for the future. Mat and Jason are generally unimpressed with Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate. Also, Jett explains why The Unfinished Swan is better than Journey.

During our deep dive into Sim City, we conclude that Godzilla solves everything. We’re also the last to comment on the PlayStation 4 reveal. Beyond that, stick around for the healthy discussions around Crysis 3, Capcom Arcade Cabinet, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, and the mysterious object Mat bit into in his Tim Horton’s sandwich.

With the big Sony announcement looming, the Bosscast take some time out to look back at the life and times of the PlayStation 3. Also covered on the show are the games we’ve been playing, which include Far Cry 3, Fire Emblem: Awakening, Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed on the 3DS, Borderlands 2, Picross 3D, and Trials HD.

Mat returns from a press-only Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance event and shares his stories of slicing, dicing, and dying repeatedly. Jason and Jett talk way too much about who they think are top-tier Skylanders. The Bosscast also open up their hearts to talk about the role of emotional response in video games.

Having spent time on the CES show floor, Jason gives us the first-hand scoop on Project S.H.I.E.L.D. and Xi3′s ‘Steam Box’. We then get into games we’ve been playing, which include Dark Souls, Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, Unchained Blades, ZombiU, the God of War: Ascension beta, and Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed. Before calling it a night, we discuss the gaming outlook for 2013 and wildly speculate on what the next consoles from Microsoft and Sony will be like.

The Bosscast returns with socks, scarves, and a sleigh full of video games to talk about! Tune in as Jason gushes about The Walking Dead (spoilers around the 48-minute mark), Mat shares his Black Ops 2 battle report, and Jett reveals his Rocksmith-related daddy issues. On top of that, we also discuss Wonderbook: Book of Spells, Dead Island, Dead or Alive 5, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, The Simpsons: Tapped Out, Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy and more!

Happy holidays from the Bosscast! We use our last episode of the year to reflect on the best, most underrated, and worst games we played in 2012. Jett also enlightens Mat and Jason on Boong-Ga Boong-Ga – an arcade game all about poking people in the bum. Though we didn’t get to go behind the Pacific Mall curtains to play this butt-poking simulator, we do talk about our experiences playing Street Fighter X Megaman, The Walking Dead, Pop’n Music and more!

An unusual side-effect to Jason’s wisdom teeth surgery has made him the perfect candidate to be a James Bond villain. At the very least, it doesn’t stop him and the gang from discussing all things related to the holiday season and Ikea Monkey. We also talk about the games we’ve been playing, which includes Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse, Assassin’s Creed III, Trine 2: Director’s Cut and a whole lot more.

Fanboys unite! This week’s Bosscast topic of the week revolves around console loyalty. We also talk about Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward, The War Z, The Walking Dead Episode 5, assorted Wii U games, and more!
