This episode we take a look at the forefathers of video games with the Mount Rushmore of gaming! But this won't just be looking at the game creators - we've got a whole slew of different topics where we aim to take 4 entries to best represent their category. And what is the best way to represent a gaming Mount Rushmore topic? The absolute greatest? The most influential? The pioneers? The iconic? We take it all into consideration as we explore the Mount Rushmore of gaming controllers, developers, box art - and more!

After a month of Resident Evil games we decided we couldn't get enough and opened it up for some more - along with everything else coinciding with Capcom! Yes it's our first (I think?) episode dedicated to a specific developer, and Capcom is a great start. Despite having a blue logo, they've been red hot this year with Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata, and we're here to talk about them both.

We've also got some other Capcom games to discuss like Super Puzzle Fighter 2, Marvel Vs Capcom, a bunch of Mega Man games, Resident Evil 8 - and more! We've also got some general banter about Capcom's place in the industry and some Capcom trivia - it's a packed episode! So grab your Mega Buster and your headphones and join us - for this look at Capcom games!

Back on Episode 105 we had a look at party games, and during that episode it was some people's opinion that online games don't count as party games. For a party, you have to all be together and in the same room - so that's just what we did! All 8 founding members of the Beat of the Month crew got together for a full day of gaming, which just so happened to have 8 games. So surely everyone picked a game to play, right? Wrong! Instead this was combined with Brian's deep dive and he chose 8 party games for everyone to play.

So what are the games? It's quite the assortment - We've got some Dreamcast games with Power Stone 2 and Chu Chu Rocket. We've got some Switch games with Everybody 1-2 Switch, Nintendo World Championship, and indie gem Hidden In Plain Sight. We've also got an obscure PS1 game called Poy Poy, one of the few Wii U games doomed to never leave the system - Nintendo Land, and then DVD board game turned video game for Xbox 360, Scene It. It was a packed day filled with gaming (and also some wings and donuts to keep our energy levels topped off)! Don't have a group of friends to play party games with? Well come join us for the next 90 minutes and have some fun regardless!
