Factory Sealed Retro Gaming Podcast

We fulfill an ancient prophecy that foretold of our inability to talk about anything other than Zelda and Final Fantasy games by sharing some final thoughts on Tears of the Kingdom before going full fanboy over Final Fantasy XVI.

Like a fine aged milk, we've separated long enough! Eric and Zack finally reunite to gush over Tears of the Kingdom, get all nostalgic with Diablo IV, and do their best to match Dan's levels of excitement for the latest Final Fantasy VII Rebirth trailer.

Eric and Zack take a break from an absolutely brutal few weeks of retro gaming to share trepidations about Starfield, fail to catalog their games efficiently, revisit Horizon Forbidden West, look forward to Tears of the Kingdom, and spark world domination by failing to secure the secret documents stored within their ovens in Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection.

There'll be no taking of DOOMPS here - Metal Gear Rising is the rarest of beasts: an actual good game that we've played on Factory Sealed!

Eric, Dan & Zack unleash their wands and touch tips to gush all over Hogwarts Legacy & also have a jolly nice chat about Theatrhythm Final Bar Line, Playstation VR2, Metroid Prime Remastered, Hi-Fi Rush and more!

What was mean to be the first four man show in AAAAAAAGES turns into Eric and Zack blasting through grounderies to talk about life happenings, Gran Turismo 7, supporting game developers, and our frustrating, yet enjoyable time with Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver.

It's time for our favorite show of the year! Find out which games secured our top spots and try to resist to the urge to buy some of the recommendations... because we each failed to do so.

Hold on to your brown trousers! It's a four man show for the first time in ages as we play Doom 3, bask in the glory of 90s internet...and regret the dark path that takes us down.

Just when we thought this year couldn't get any worse, we played Scorn. Fortunately Plague Tale: Requiem and the anticipation of upcoming games give us hope that the year might round out with a bang.

Armed with the finest of TENG, we land on the cold plains of EDN-3 and find that exploring Lost Planet is just a big waste of time.

It's time for the annual pilgrimage to MoCon! Will the lads have the same hotel room? Will they survive? Will Zack be arrested? It's all possible at MoCon! Outside of this year's shenanigans, we also have a brutal time trying to slog through Brutal Legend.

The horse may have died long before it got to Eric, but that won't stop us flogging it even further as we return after a two month hiatus! Hear all about Eric's cross-country move, the heroes of Britain, what we've been playing (or not playing!), and our thoughts on all of the latest big announcements including Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, Starfield, and more.

Gotta go...slow? We play Sonic CD, discuss Dan's patio, what we've been playing and Eric's impending country-wide trip to move house.

Former host turned celebrity guest Tom Ragan emerges from the rural recesses of Mooseland to talk about homeownership, Elden Ring, F1, and open a ton of mystery digital games.

Eric and Zack managed to peel themselves off the couch long enough to lament over buying and selling houses, reminisce about ancient methods of storage, and absolutely gush over Elden Ring.

Dan and Eric tear themselves away from Elden Ring to question the morals of making robots in Binary Domain, making them question whether they are actually self aware in the process.

Join us as we Enter the Matrix, a fabricated world of shite gameplay! Also includes Nobody Saves the World, Mass Effect, and Eric somehow finishing a game before Dan.

The whole crew reunites for the first time in months for our fabled Game of the Year show! Which titles took our top spots this year?

The whole crew reunites for the first time in months for our fabled Game of the Year show! Which titles took our top spots this year?

We round out 2021 with a concise little show featuring The Matrix Awakens, Eric's new Series X, Halo Infinite, and Dan's annual descent into playing games that are too long.
