KnockBack, Episode 203: 10 Songs That Remind Us When...

We love music, and we don't focus on it enough here on KnockBack. We're endeavoring to change that, starting now. Music is tied up so intimately with nostalgia that it barely merits further explanation. Yet, for all of us, songs and time, songs and people, songs and a moment or an event, these are the connections we simply cannot escape. Here are 10 songs we love that also remind us of happiness or pain from times gone. Indeed, they may represent the only tangible connection we have to some o...

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 149: Dustin's Christmas Mailbag

Merry Christmas to all!  I hope this episode finds you well whether you're celebrating with family, friends, or simply taking it easy after the holiday. In this mailbag, Frisk and I dove deep into your questions and had a great time answering them. When will we see Persona 6? How do I rank the Souls games? Is it normal for your balls to get wet when using a bidet? Hit play!

Sacred Symbols, Episode 182: Our Favorite PlayStation Moments of 2021

The last 12 months have been contentious in the real world, and here in our digital escape, you could say that things have been equally rocky, albeit for wildly different reasons. While perhaps not the strongest year for new releases, 2021 still easily contends as one of the most interesting years in recent memory when it comes to the gaming industry itself, and PlayStation in particular. From PSVR2's promise and Sony going all-in on PC gaming to the sudden ending (and equally-sudde...

Defining Duke, Episode 51: The Best & Worst Of Xbox Game Pass

It's the holiday season and maybe Santa got some of you a shiny new Xbox! With that Xbox (or PC, we didn't forget!) you might find yourself perusing the catalog of hundreds of Game Pass games. It can be overwhelming to sift through page after page of alluring games especially with how great so many of them are. Matty and Cog are lucky enough to be able to sit down and play many of these games to help guide the audience towards or away from them. Today, we present to you our Top 5 Game Pass ga...

Defining Duke Ultimate, Episode 47: Guardians Of The Galaxy Review Discussion & Spoilercast

It’s safe to say for many of us that Eidos Montreal’s ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ arrived as one of 2021’s best surprises. Matty, Cog, Ben, and Chris assemble for a conversation on the ins-and-outs of one of the better superhero games in recent years. The phenomenal writing, character interactions, and the theme of grief pushes this game to unexpected heights as the audience has shared that very sentiment. There is much to discuss, so it’s time we dive in!

KnockBack, Episode 202 | Razor (Battlestar Galactica film)

In between seasons three and four of Sci-Fi's reimagined Battlestar Galactica series came a standalone movie. It's called Razor, and -- as the name suggests -- it focuses on the trials and tribulations of the Battlestar Pegasus, which we were introduced to in season two. Pegasus is commanded by an icy officer named Cain, who does whatever's necessary to survive. But Razor shows us a different side of Cain, and gives us insight into how she and her ship lived through the Cylon assault on ...

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 147: Call of Duty: Vanguard Review Discussion and Spoilercast

Call of Duty’s newest entry in the series, Vanguard, has been out for a few months. To no one’s surprise, the conversation surrounding the title has been less than positive. Can we contribute it to the WWII setting? The situation at Activision? Sledgehammer’s skills as a developer? Micah and Ben dive deep into the shallow campaign as well as discuss our stance on the multiplayer and zombie modes.

Sacred Symbols, Episode 181: Three Green Lights

What's that there? In the dark? That familiar setup can only mean one thing: Splinter Cell is returning. In the form of a remake of the 2002 original, in fact. Questions remain, however. Is Ubisoft Toronto the studio that should be undertaking this project? Should a Splinter Cell remake be undertaken at all? We discuss. Even more Chris-centric news occurred this week, too, as rumors of Bully 2 from Rockstar persist, while Sony quietly made a first party purchase in the form of Valky...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year (or Whatever!)

Hello.

I wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and/or whatever it is you may or may not celebrate or observe. As I’m writing this, I’m on the verge of recording for the final time in 2021; I’ll hit publish when I’m done to mark the beginning of a weeks-long break for me and the crew.

There’s no break for you, however. As you know, all of our shows will publish uninterrupted right into next year. That means Sacr...

Defining Duke, Episode 50: Splinter Cell Returns + S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Dives Into NFTs

We'll give it to you straight. Hot off The Game Awards, it hasn't been a great look for "modern gaming." The NFT floodgates have burst wide open, massive delays are inbound, and now those sacred video game discs don't even arrive with the full game on them. Matty and Cog cut through the noise and get to the heart of each of these matters. Such as the highly anticipated reveal of Splinter Cell with a brand new remake. Should a company as creatively and morally bankrupt as Ubisoft be trusted wi...
