2018 almost feels like a bit of a blur games-wise, but that doesn't mean your pals at the Sockscast don't still have things on lockdown as they dive head first into their own personal top 10 Games of 2018 lists, and try to figure out if people who sent in contributed lists are "users" or "listeners." Today, we'll be having a look at entries 10 through 6.

2018 may have started off as a bit of a sleeper year for the music scene, but that doesn't mean that it eventually got itself in gear and provided some of the best music Polly and Taylor have heard in a good long while.

Welcome to the last regularly scheduled Sockscast until the Game of the Year 'casts taking place at the end of the year! In this episode, John is positively overhwlemed, Rhete joins forces with anthropomorphic animals to avenge the death of Sonic The Hedgehog, and Polly is left a little unimpressed by her duties as an Underhero.

Sockscast Episode 84 is a tale of two podcasts! Polly was deathly ill for the first half, but two weeks later returned to life and was able to recount her journey through the end of both Persona 5 and Steins;Gate 0. After that, John played himself a whole crapton of JRPGs, and Rhete's (surprise, surprise) been watching himself a whole lotta Japanese Cartoons.
And after all that's done, we have ourselves a little half-hour discussion about Toby Fox's DELTARUNE and everything that entails.

Well, here we are again to do what the Sockscast do what with all the mouth flapping and opinion having. Today on the show, John's experiencing one of the greatest works of science fiction ever, Rhete is playing a game that's a much better .hack//, and Polly's on the grind toward the end of Persona 5.

Special Guest After5 joins the Sockscast today to take us on a massive journey that will span the entire episode though his aptly titled Falcom Frenzy. All manner of things Ys and Trails will be discussed, and on top of all that, Rhete's back on his Yakuza thing again and being a contrarian, John's got a bit of a curiosity bug about trading card games, and Polly reached the top of the mountain, but was it worth it? And Bowsette...for some reason...

We hope you're having a fantastic Labor Day and that we here at the Sockscast can swoop on in to make it EVEN BETTER!
In this episode, John's still got something against magical girls and can't quit shooting bullets at them, Polly's become a bit of a mad scientist, and Rhete's slipped into a whole new dimension...

This episode of the Sockscast features just a little bit of everything to keep those ears nice and tuned in to the three great big blabbering mouths from which words are falling!
John's once again in search of those Trails in the Sky, Rhete's going absolutely bananas, and Polly got straight up murdered. And to top it all off, an episode of The Album Listening Club accidentally happened to close the show out!

Just be cause it's the dead-ass middle of summer, doesn't mean your pals at the Sockscast are too beat down by the heat to bring you a hot...or maybe cool new episode to beat the heat with.
Today's expansive episode finds Rhete Switching on his Nintendo for what feels like the first time in ages, John going on a tear through all of Disneyland with all his favorite Final Fantasy pals, and Polly making sure the summer temperatures aren't any big deal with some Cold Steel.

Your pals at the Sockscast have quite the triple header in store to make sure your Memorial Day weekend has your recommended weekly dose of of dumb people talking into microphones about videogames for about two and a half hours!
Up first, John finally got around to playing Hollow Knight so it's time to see if the trend continues. Up next, Polly joined Adol Cristin on his latest adventure in Ys VIII. And we cap off the episode with a fairly spoiler-heavy discussion of Rhete's recent playthrough of the Zero Escape series!

The dark energies have brought forth your three podcast hosts once again, and with them, each has brought one prediction which shall foreshadow the coming apocalypse. Or...ya know, they're just gonna stick to the script and do that thing where they talk about a thing or two they've been up to.

Oh hey! I know, it's been a while, but I can promise you we're definitely not dead, as this three-hour and twenty minute episode of the Sockscast can attest!
This episode is a lot of catching up with everyone with John dabbling in some alchemy and checking out that hot new Zelder game, Rhete is back to watching every anime in existence and playing literally every single videogame, and something's bugging Polly, but we can't quite figure out what.
