Going live for Casual Mondays.

Back in Animal Crossing: New Horizons to check out the 3.0 update. Chase hasn’t played in years, so we’re expecting bugs, weeds, and villagers who absolutely forgot him.

Bobby and Chase finally catch up after the break and talk through what we’ve actually been playing. StarRupture, Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, Demonschool, a surprising amount of Final Fantasy Tactics, and yes… Cyberpunk again.

What game did you lose the most time to over the holidays?

Happy Big Hops day to all who are (and should be) celebrating!

Despite what @chasekoeneke.bsky.social will say, I have great taste.
Here are the games @bob-omby.bsky.social will be checking out!

Happy StarRupture day to my fellow Base Building/Survival Craft sickos out there.

Anthem still stings, but the joy of making @chasekoeneke.bsky.social watch me play it tonight helps. January also seems to have some potential hits, tune in this week for one last flight and some potential new games to check out, happy new year!
WE ARE SO BACK!

Fresh off a short holiday break, we’re ready to talk about all the games dropping this month that have us excited. Before that, though, we’re taking one last flight with Anthem.

What games are you most excited for? Sound off below!

It’s wild to think we are almost a 10 year old podcast. 2026 is going to be a big year for us, and I think @chasekoeneke.bsky.social and I have really dialed in the show with just the two of us. Please stop by a stream or give us a listen when you can!

Welcome to The Casual Hour, a podcast ostensibly about video games. Every week, Bobby and Chase stream and discuss games new and old, mixing current releases with deep cuts while pulling from decades of experience playing, covering, and usually overthinking the games they love!
January 1, 2026 at 11:31 PM
GOTY is and always has been my favorite time of year over at @thecasualhour.bsky.social. We’ve covered 14 categories and locked in our Top 10 lists. Even with industry issues, there are still incredible games worth celebrating. Here’s Day 1 of our three-part deliberations!
Day 1 of 3 our #GOTY '25 celebration is here! Starting with Best Non-2025, Backlog GOTY, Best New Character, Better Together, Best Early Access, Best Looking, and Best Style. Surprise picks, passionate defenses, and just enough disagreement to feel on brand.

GOTY has and always will be my favorite thing we do.

I’ve been working on a way to make tracking our conversations and selections a bit more engaging this year and can’t wait to dive into it tonight with @chasekoeneke.bsky.social.

Stop by and join in on the deliberations when and where you can!
Big week over here at The Casual Hour. It’s GOTY Week!

Three live shows digging into categories before we lock in our personal Top 10s.

Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 9 PM CST. Audio versions up this weekend.

🎙 New Episode! 🎙

We cover a number of cool games, including Ghost of Yotei, Digimon Story: Time Stranger & Star Birds, and some very uncool game industry news, like Xbox’s price hikes on Game Pass & the EA buyout. Take the good with the bad on this edition of The Casual Hour!

September is looking real nice!

Also, I'm a Kojima fan now?
🎙 New Episode! 🎙

Bobby’s sick (not just of having to hear Chase talk about Super Robot Wars), but we’re able to press on and tell you about all the sick games coming out in September. It’s a month packed with sequels, remakes, early access 1.0s and brand new titles!

Would be really cool to be able to just talk about cool games and not all the dumb shit happening in and around games.
🎙 New Episode! 🎙

We cover the recent censorship of Steam and itch’s storefront due to payment processor overreach, as well as discuss why this is bad for gamers and game makers alike and what you can do to fight back. It’s not all doom and gloom, Bobby’s played Wheel World!

Excited to debut a new series for the YouTube channel -- introducing Re-Trenched!

I'm going back to one of my favorite Double Fine games that always deserved a sequel: Iron Brigade.

Thanks to @bob-omby.bsky.social for the fantastic thumbnail art!
