Episode 196: The Rise, Fall, and Resurrection of Game Informer

On the final episode of 2025, we talk about the rise, fall, undignified death, and resurrection of what's now the only print video game magazine left in the United States: Game Informer. 

Episode 195: One & Done

What games have you only ever beaten once and never returned to? On this episode, we examine our own personal one-and-dones, games that once we finished, for whatever reason, we decided never to return to.

Episode 194: To the Far Horizon

Usually when we talk about a game or franchise on DLC, it's associated with an anniversary milestone. Rarely do we devote an episode to a game simply because it's awesome and we just want to be rabid fans. So, we do just that with the two main games in the Horizon franchise: Zero Dawn and Forbidden West. 

Episode 193: Free Play

It's a tradition on DLC to have at least one episode each season devoted to just an open discussion on anything related to video games, and on this episode, the three of us talk about the feeling of playing a video game too late, old games currently being played, and the loss of dedicated exclusive handheld consoles now that we have things like the Switch and Steam Deck.

Episode 192: The Industry Needs An Intervention

It's not a theory or trend anymore: the video game industry is broken. From tens of thousands of layoffs, to AI slop, to focusing on money above all else, it's clear that the industry needs some correction. But how? EDGE Magazine asked a bunch of their industry contacts and published some two dozen or so replies in their February 2025 issue. We go through some of those and give our own opinions. 

Episode 191: A History of Trans Representation

In celebration of Pride, Veronica takes the helm as guest host of DLC and gives us an overview of trans representation in video games, starting back to the classics and bringing us up to modern gaming. You might learn a thing or two! Ep 191
