And we wind down not only 2019, but the entire decade with the top five games that the three of us played this year along with the final salvo of listener lists to keep things nice and cozy for the holidays!

And, of course, a huge thank you to everyone that stuck with us through the year and even an entire goddamn decade! The fact that this dumb site is still here and running all these years later, with what is still a dizzying number of folks hanging around our community means a lot, even if we're not the most active content-wise anymore.

So, we'll catch you again in 2020! Have yourselves a happy new year!

Programming Note: Album of the Year days 1 and 2, and the next episode of God is in the Podcast will be recording after the new year. I had a bit of a dental emergency that kept me from being able to comfortably record either this holiday break. Apologies!

Our Special Guest: Samurai Karasu
Opening Theme: "We Are The Only Ones That Love You" by Taylor

Hard to believe, but here we are. The final "normal episode" of the Sockscast of 2019 before we cruise into end of the year shenanigans, and also the final regular episode of the DECADE!

So, we decided to drag our good pal Samurai Karasu out of podcast retirement to join us once again, and he's on all sorts of wacky adventures, but specifically catching some -mons. Polly's embarked once again on the S.S. Idea Factory (which can only go well), Rhete's feelin' pretty awful this episode but that won't stop him from laying waste to any wicked hellspawn that threaten our world, and John's still on his PS1 RPG kick with the absolutely delightful Legend of Mana!

Also, FINAL CALL. If you wanna get your Game of the Year list read on the year-end Game of the Year Sockscasts, be sure to follow the information in the post directly below this one! Your deadline is noon on December 14th.

Sockscast Game of the Year Listener Submissions Open!
November 26th, 2019

It's gettin' to be that time of year again, and I swear to god, I probably begin this post the same way every year, but you'll have to just deal with it YET AGAIN! Because I already got ya! You read it! Sucker!

Anyway, yep, we're taking listner/reader lists to read during our Game of the Year podcasts this year, and if there's some games you wanna blabber about, all you have to do is follow these simple instructions:

1. Get a list of three games you enjoyed this year together. They don't have to have been released this year. If you played it this year, it's fair game, so go ahead and include Bubble Bath Babes on Famicom, we don't care!

2. Write a brief summary about why the game's on your list. Try to keep it within a reasonable 2-3 sentences. If things end up too long, we'll just paraphrase.

2.a. Alternatively you can record your list to an .mp3 and send it to us too! Just be sure to keep it under 5'ish minutes!

3. Send that list off to podcast@socksmakepeoplesexy.net. Shoot that list right on over to our inbox BEFORE NOON ON DECEMBER 14TH. We'll be recording the Game of the Year podcasts around the 14th or 15th and definitely need your lists by then, so if you're any later, you won't make the cut.

So, there ya go! You've got yourselves a decent amount of time to get things squared away and sent off to us! Happy listing!

We were all in love with castin', we were drinkin' from a fountain, that was pourin' like an avalanche comin' down the mountain. This time around on ye olde Sockscast, Polly's been banished to fairytale jail for a dungeon crawling adventure, John's got some complicated feelings he needs to work out about the Suikoden series, and Rhete's anime viewing habits are the only thing that can keep this episode from being a total downer.

And now we take a turn for the weird... Which is a strange thing to say given the artist we're talking about is Marilyn Manson, but as you'll see with today's episode of the podcast things definitely can get stranger. Today, we examine the band's breakthrough remix EP Smells Like Children, which finds the band experimenting as much with digital sound as they were drugs at the time!

God is in The Podcast Episode I
Run Time: 1:36:27 / File Size: 44.1MB
Our Special Guest: lieronet

Welcome to the beginning of a new podcast series hosted by your pals Taylor and Polly!

God is in The Podcast is a new podcast series where we group review each of shock-rocker Marilyn Manson's mainline album releases! The catch is that Taylor and Polly are fans, and that our guest for each episode will feature someone a little less familiar with Brian Hugh Warner's musical output to hopefully create interesting and fun perspectives.

We're going to start with the group's first commercial outing Portrait of an American Family released in 1994, and joining us on that adventure is long-time Sockspal lieronet who has stayed largely blind to Mr. Manson's discography. We'll be circling around to stuff prior to this album's release at some point in the future, but for now, this felt like a good logical starting point.

Also, a reminder that we've re-opened the Sliders 'n Socks forums, so come hang out if that's your thang!

Did you even imagine that we'd be here once again... TWICE in the same year? Well, it's not just illusion, and your mind isn't playing tricks on you. And neither am I!

Socks Pal, and reason most of you are here, Pat has graced the site once again with his writing and I know that I, and I'm sure many of you as well, couldn't be more pleased to have him back again for another dose.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2 will be today's subject of long-form essay and I'm sure we all hope poor Pat's mind is okay by the end of it. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

Play John Thyer's EXPANSE
August 7th, 2019

Looks like that crazy ol' John's at it again! Makin' and releasing videogames on the internet for your consumption!

His latest offering is EXPANSE a retro-styled quick-fix arcade shmup that's as easily summed up as the first part of this sentence and doesn't really need anymore accompaniment, which really just makes all these extra words kinda pointless, but I started typing them anyway, and holding down the Backspace key just felt like too much effort, so here we are. Go play EXPANSE!

And also, you still have time to get something sent to us for Sockscast Episode 100 happening on August 24th!

Announcing The Sockscast Episode 100 Live Show
August 2nd, 2019

Sockscast Episode 100 is rapidly approaching, in fact, we've even got a date and time set for it, but the most important part is that we want YOU to be a part of it if you can!

To celebrate both 100 Episodes of the Sockscast AND our five-year podcasting anniversary, we'll be hosting a very special Sockscast live over on my Twitch channel. Typically, we'd do an all call-ins show for this kind of occasion, but this time around technical limitations are going to keep us from being able to do so.

So, I've devised a backup plan that'll still let EVERYBODY that wants to be a part of the show be a part of the show, and that even includes our pals in timezones where it's harder to catch our live shows.

All the information to get yourself to the show, and more importantly ON the show is provided below.

Sockscast Episode 100 Live Show
WHEN: August 24th, 2019, 5:00PM Eastern Estimated Start Time
WHERE: http://twitch.tv/pollyhead

HOW:
Method 1 - Let Yourself Be Heard:
Step 1: You're gonna need a microphone!

Get a microphone and plug that sumbitch up to your computer.

Step 2: Record Us A Message
Record us a message! Anything you gotta say or anything you wanna ask or something you'd like to see us talk about, baby, it's up to you. This isn't just our moment to shine, you've been with us every step of the way, and we want you to be there for the big show too! Wanna sing us a pretty song? Read that epic poem you wrote about your friend Patty? Propose to someone? Pretty much everything's fair game here (within reason, of course), so if ya got somethin' on your mind you'd like your Sockspals to talk about or just wanna do your own little thing, record and save it as a .mp3 (preferably) or .wav.

Step 3: Send It To Polly!
Send that hot little message of yours attached to an email on over to polly[at-sign]socksmakepeoplesexy.net so that I can get it and have it ready for the show!

If you need an alternative:
Alternatively, you can also use a site like Vocaroo to record your message and send me a link to it.


Method 2 - For The Quieter Types:
If you'd rather not record a voice message just send me a plain ol' email to read on the air and I'll make sure it gets read during the broadcast!


On the day of the podcast, I'll have rounded all submitted voice messages and emails up and we'll go over each one on the podcast, responding to any comments or questions you may have for us!

So, get that noodle going and thinking about what you'd like your Sockspals to hear and/or talk about on Episode 100 and get those submissions on over to us.

The deadline for submitting messages will be 12:00PM Eastern Time on August 24th.

Afterward Is Officially Out!
February 14th, 2019

Happy Valentine's Day and happy two-year anniversary to the release of mine and John's visual novel, Her Lullaby! We hope you're good and caught up on that game, because today we're proud to present to you our follow-up/extended epilogue to the tale with the release of Afterward.

It's been a long journey to get here. About sixteen months, in fact, but this is a story we believed in and felt was worth taking the time to tell, and we hope that if you were invested in the original that you feel it's a story worthy of being told. So, click the link above, get yourself comfy, and find out what happened...Afterward.

I, of course, have to give a shout out to our co-conspirators in this game's creation. Carmichael Micaalus once again returns on character art and design work, and Taylor has returned with a hot new set of tunes that help amplify every key moment of the story. Pauncho Smith also lent a hand with some much needed photography to help our game have a little more of an identity in its setting.

It's hard not to feel a little sappy and sentimental when you've reached the end of a huge project like this, but once again, I just want to thank everyone who supported the original game, the people that have helped and encouraged us along the way, and anyone who may find and connect with our little duology in the future. What creative roads hold from here, I'm not certain, but having had these experiences only assures me that this is only the beginning.

Love to you all!
