    04/09/2014

    We've booted Jason to the curb...hurrah! Actually he's just too "busy" to join us, so we've called Taylor into sub in another Diablo 3 filled episode. We also chat about Age of Wonders 3, Goat Simulator getting co-op, and of course...wizards.

  • Co-Opticast Episode 122: Praise the Cupcake Edition

    03/25/2014

    It's a special birthday episode of the Co-opticast as one of our hosts celebrates theirs. There's a whole lot of Dark Souls 2 talk this episode, much to the chagrin of Nick. Ready to praise the sun and all that? Listen in or watch!

    02/18/2014

    Despite living north of the wall in Canada, Locke learned a valuable life lesson on the latest Co-Opticast - you should shovel the roof if there's too much snow on it. Outside home ownership tips from the crew we chat about Wild Arms, Titanfall, Hawken, and Bravely Default. After that it's onto news and the first listener voicemail in a LONG TIME.

  • Co-Opticast Episode 114: The Steam Machine Episode

    10/09/2013

    It's been far to long since we've talked. But we're back. Sadly there wasn't much to talk about in our absence, instead we waited until we had an episode chock full of content. Steam OS?

  • Co-Opticast Episode 113: The You've Killed Jason Episode

    09/13/2013

    They say laughter is the best medicine, but in this episode we prove it can also be DEADLY.

It's ok though, after all of that we preview the co-op games coming out this fall.
