Game Query is dead. Long live Game Query.

Game Query

Never Stop Sniping

Hi everyone, it’s weird to write this because on the one hand Game Query is a very tiny podcast, but on the other hand it’s why we’re all here, and has been a large part of our lives for four years now. Game Query is coming to an end. The episode after next will be our final episode — so there’s still two shows coming. We’re recording the final episode next week with Leo. For what it’s worth (and I can’t really say anything) the reason GQ is ending is for a very good reason that I’m very happy about. It’s just not my place to reveal what that thing is. So what does this mean? Well, for one, the Patreon will be ending of course. An unfortunate casualty of that is that the Patreon feed will also be gone, too. I’ll probably find a way to get those old episodes to anyone that wants them, though. What will happen to the main feed, I don’t know. Part of me thinks it’s poetic to nuke the whole thing from the internet — if you were there you were there, if you weren’t you weren’t. We’ll see. The one thing that is 100% going nowhere is the discord. We will keep this around as long as people still use it. Which leads me to my last point: even though we will all still talk everyday, I want to thank you all so much for listening to this awful, ridiculous, and fun show. It’s been a blast to record and I’m constantly in awe that ANYONE cared enough to tune in and want to engage with us. Y’all are the best. Never stop sniping.

April's Fools

Surprise! To commemorate its 8 year anniversary, we gathered with returning champion Jacob Geller to slice-and-dice Platinum Games' Kojima spinoff, METAL GEAR RISING REVENGANCE. In this two hour conversation, we get into what makes the gameplay so satisfying, the troubled development with Konami, and analyze the philosophical themes of characters like Raiden, Monsoon, and Senator Armstrong.

Rules Of Nature w/Jacob Geller

Michael makes Haley sit down and fully beat one of his favorite games of all time, Dark Souls. Just so we can talk about it. We chat about the game's story, bosses, platforming, online legacy, and more, with one hot and one cold(ish) on the infamous title.

Making my Girlfriend Beat Dark Souls - Game And Make Up - Episode 2

Welcome to another Listener Special! Come along with the crew as we start beef with another prominent video game podcast, impersonate former President Barack Obama and make a *big* announcement - so be sure to listen until the very end!

Check’s In The Mail

We return to the wonderful world of Paul WS Anderson films with a review of MONSTER HUNTER (2020).

Monster Hunter? I hardly know 'er!

Dear gamers, it's the return of the king. We're joined by the Internet's own Leo Vader, back from the dead, to discuss 2021's early GOTY contender - Hitman 3! Along the way, we dissect our favorite levels from the entire trilogy and speculate about how Agent 47 would kill the president (in a video game.)

Leo Vader's World of Assassination

The GQ Crew is back to speculate which of the biggest releases of 2021 will be the quickest to see price cuts, get in touch with our religious sides, answer a bunch of listener questions, and chat Call of Duty screennames. Plus, boy time!

Belle Of The Ball Of The Bargain Bin

We're joined by Mike Mahardy to decide definitively what the Game of the Year is. What year? You'll just have to listen to find out. Also Blake's audio is real messed up on this one. We're sorry. It gets a little better halfway through, but not by a ton. It was a fun episode and we didn't want to throw it out, so we're still running it as is. AJ won't ever let it happen again.

Game Of The Year

Well, here it is. By this point, we're all probably tired of the discourse surrounding Cyberpunk 2077, but GQ has a weird publishing schedule, so we're just now getting to this one. Join Blake, AJ, and guest host Jacob Geller for a two hour deep dive into everything good, bad, great, and ugly about Cyberpunk 2077.

GQ Review: Cyberpunk 2077

Jacob Geller is here with us to expose the real names of a bunch of babies, make an AI text generator write fan fiction and talk about games the internet has ruined. (Episode 58 was too foul for the public feed but you can grab it on our Patreon at any tier!)

Maybe There's a White House in Green Hill Zone (ft. Jacob Geller)

We're back to talk everything Watch Dogs: Legion. On the one hand, Legion is a technical marvel, that when it works, really hits some special notes. On the other hand, it's a technical mess that can't escape the fact it's a game about resistance from a company the size of Ubisoft. Join us as we crack this one open, leaving no database undecrypted (idk computer lingo it's after midnight when I'm writing this give me a break).

THE HACK Z0N3

Hey gamers! Here's a quick and dirty review of Spider-Man Miles Morales on the PS5. Tune in to hear why it's one of the best looking games I've ever played and how Insomniac continues to climb to another tier of AAA-storytelling. (The first half-ish is totally spoiler free!)

Q&AJ: Spider-Man Miles Morales

In the inaugural episode of Game and Make Up, Haley makes Michael play one of her favorite games: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. We discuss (and 'respectfully' disagree) on the overall quality of the 2006 title covering topics like Nintendo's writing style, Link and Midna's relationship, the game's slow start, and much more. Ending with some listener opinions and hints for which game Michael will be forcing Haley to play next month!

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Game And Make Up - Episode 1

At last, we've talked all the Titanfall there is! Join AJ and Blake to walk through the (disappointing???) conclusion to Titanfall 2 and speculate about its legacy and what could come next.

Effect And Cause - Episode Four
