A heads up! You'll notice that the camera for this episode focuses on one speaker at a time - we had some internet issues during this recording, and had to use this perspective as a workaround. But fear not! We'll be back to our old tri-view shenanigans next week. Thanks for bearing with us!
On this episode, Mike talks about his time with Halo Infinite's campaign, Dan and Mary talk about the highs and lows of Solar Ash, and Mary finally has a PS5.

Mike is back, Mary is on the road, and Dan has a soundboard now. Also, a secret corner of the internet is unearthed, much to one particular cast member's chagrin.

Vinny Caravella steps in for Mike this week, but he might regret it considering Dan really wants to talk about Death Stranding again. Join us as we discuss Inscryption, Rider's Republic, salamanders, oysters, and all the homeowner questions Dan and Mary can think of.

The Fire Escape trio is approaching Halloween season, which means it's time to talk about Midnight Mass and Squid Game (duh). Also, there are approximately 138857 new video games to play, so the gang does its best to cover them all.

Greetings video patrons! We wish you well on this fine tenth anniversary of the best podcast ever made. Make sure to read the spoiler alert below before watching!

Hello video patrons! It's that time again. Time for you to gaze into the chaotic abyss of the Fire Escape trio's faces.
This week on the sexiest podcast ever created, the gang talks about their time with The Ascent, Axiom Verge 2, and returning to The Simpsons. Dan botches a game's nomenclature in a truly farfetched way. Mary argues for the value of dogs over cats. Mike can't shut up about Wildermyth.

Hello patrons! This week on the Fire Escape Cast, Death's Door has captured the hearts and minds of the trio, and Mike rants about the procedural storytelling of Wildermyth. Also: Dan and Mary compiled a list of 30 Simpsons episodes for Mike to peruse at his leisure. He might like the show. He might hate it. He might finally understand all of Mary's references. Time will tell.

(Update #2: The video should be live, thanks for your patience everyone! Enjoy.)
(Update: What with all of the gang on the road this week - and using shoddy WiFi - it looks like the video upload hit a roadblock on the YouTube end, and didn’t publish this morning at the planned time. We’ll do our best to get it up asap for you fine video patrons, though! expect it by 5 ET at the very latest.)

On July 15, 2021, history was made: The intrepid trio from the Fire Escape Cast collided with the thriving threesome from Nextlander to host an anything-goes panel at the rescheduled PAX East. In this fiery team-up you'll bear witness to house maintenance, Dan's love of chemicals, and a look back at the changing tides of games coverage over the group's collective run.

Ooooh! Ahhhh! Exclusive! This is just for you, Video tier reward Patrons. Must feel nice! We wanted to remind you that the video version of #7 is live today. If there’s something you don’t like about it, let us know, we’ll yell at Jake about it (not really he’s very nice).

It's finally time for a video version of the Fire Escape Cast. And you, dear Patrons, are the first (and only, really) people who get to see it. While we're still figuring out this whole Patreon thing, and how it figures into what is very much a passion project, we're nonetheless excited to have it off and running. Logistics and future changes aside, we can't help but be flattered by all of the support you've given us over the first few months of this weird and wonderful show.

It's the dog days of summer as Mary, Dan, and Mike get together to talk about charity stream marathons, lawn games, and their new Patreon. Also: Dan's interest in Banjo-Tooie is waning. Mary sells the guys on Skul: The Hero Slayer. Mike finally goes off about his love for (and frustrations with) Warframe.
