Constellation, Episode 106 | Media Binging, Natural Disasters, Domestic Squabbles

Constellation rings in the new year with the triumphant return of everybody's favorite Final Boss! Colin occupies the 4th chair this week as the boys discuss a range of topics. First, Dustin wants to talk about media binging. Do we prefer to consume TV and video games gradually, aka the old-fashioned way, or do we like to marathon our media from start to finish in one sitting? Next up, as the wildfires continue to blaze through Los Angeles, Brad would like to discuss our thoughts on natural d...

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 430 | The Sacred Symbols 2025 Fantasy Draft

It's time once more to conduct our annual fantasy draft for Metacritic scoring, this time for the year of our lord 2025. For the uninitiated, the rules are simple. Each of the three hosts of Sacred Symbols -- Colin, Chris, and Dustin -- select 12 games (for 36 total), thus constructing a 'team' of the presumably strongest upcoming releases. But not just any games will do; indeed, to be selected, a title must either be confirmed or reasonably assumed for launch within the 2025 calendar year, s...

Sacred Symbols, Episode 341 | The Mystery of What's to Come

We're back! 2024 is so last year; it's now time for us to dwell here in 2025... and perhaps even beyond. The holiday season was pretty quiet news-wise, but there were fairly substantial exceptions in the form of two lengthy interviews published by legendary Japanese games publication Famitsu, conducted with both of PlayStation's recently-installed co-CEOs. On the one hand, Hermen Hulst was peppered with questions about Helldivers 2 and Concord, the future of Sony's single-player initiatives, ...

Defining Duke, Episode 210 | Is 2025 The Year That Xbox Delivers?

After two weeks of R&R, the Duke boys are back! Plenty happened while we were away. Everything from Oblivion Remake leaking (again) to a supposed Xbox console dropping in 2026 circulated, so we have much to pick up at the start of the new year. For starters, a Developer Direct looms and the lineup could be stacked if it's to include The Outer Worlds 2, Fable, DOOM: The Dark Ages, and South Of Midnight as expected. The question on the tip of everyone's tongue is simply this: "What is the m...

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 429 | Colin Mailbag: On Last Stand, The Games Industry, Music, Sports, and More

Happy Holidays, and welcome to a mailbag episode of Sacred+. It's me, Colin. This go-around, we solicited inquiries from the audience as usual, but I wanted to focus on mostly (though not entirely) off-topic fare. So here are 22 questions -- fully answered! -- on topics like how the company is doing and what the future holds, as well as brief ventures into games on issues like leaking, layoffs, and reviews. But we also spend time on my beloved Jets and Islanders, the Southern Man and Fantasy ...

Sacred Symbols, Episode 340 | Our Most Anticipated Games of 2025

2024 is officially in the rearview mirror, which can only mean one thing: We're now in the exciting "next year" of video game releases on PlayStation 5 (and 4, too, to an extent). As is tradition here on Sacred Symbols, we cap-off our dueling annual end-of-year shows with a look ahead, each selecting five 2025 releases we're most amped about. This of course allows us to widely chat about 15 exciting upcoming games with only two rules in mind: Selections have to be slated for (or at least conc...

Defining Duke, Episode 209 | The Best & Worst of Xbox Game Pass in 2024

Games are releasing at a ridiculous, potentially unsustainable pace. It's no longer a question of money, but rather time. Game Pass is always putting out good stuff, but there's so much to sift through that it makes the service a bit overwhelming. Well, the Dukes have arrived, and they have lists that they've checked twice. It's time to go over the naughty and nice for Xbox's prestige service in 2024. What games hit for Matty and Cog and which deserve a lump of coal in their stocking? Let's f...

Constellation, Episode 104 | Dog Shows, Inspirations, Wasting Money

Surprise! Time for another Constellation! With Chris in the hosting chair and the suspiciously close Brad and Dustin, it's destined to be an interesting listen. Chris is baffled by dog shows and their very existence. Brad wants to know about the people the inspired us in life. Dustin asks about the things we hate wasting money on (and the things we don't). Please enjoy!
