SHOWNOTES: We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! As for us, the Grinch stole our Christmas episode, which is why we're releasing it 3 days late (sorry!). On our belated Holiday Special collab with Collateral Cinema, Zach and Ash discuss the video game tie-in for the 2000 How the Grinch Stole Christmas film. Released the same year for the PS1, DreamCast, and PC, this platforming game may be nostalgic for some of our listeners, and we had a great time playing it this holiday season! So, stay tuned for Part 2 of our Ocarina of Time episode this #ZeldaMonth, as well as our Post-Holiday Bonus Round! on Season 3 of The Angry Video Game Nerd, and have a Happy New Year!

SHOWNOTES: Due to scheduling conflicts, we will have to record Part 2 of our Season Premiere on Doom (2016) at a later date, so apologies for our numbered episodes being slightly out of order! With the anxiously anticipated remake of Silent Hill 2 out for over a month now, we were pressed to present our spoiler-free thoughts on Bloober Team's reimagining of Team Silent's 2001 survival horror title, and boy do we have a lot to speak on the matter. With a lot of hesitation regarding the competency of the development team behind the remake, and controversy surrounding its release in the modern climate, Silent Hill 2 (2024) has faced an uphill battle. But does it manage to come out on top in its attempt to recreate, or possibly improve on one of the most successful horror games of all time? Ash, Beau, and returning guest Robert endeavor to find out on our latest Game Launch review! Also, stay tuned for Part 2, where we'll be going into full spoilers on this title.

Ashley, Zachary, and Michael discuss multiplayer mode changes and improvements amidst the ever-present skill-based matchmaking, as well as Zombies and the single-player campaign in this spoiler-free review. Is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 an overall improvement over last year's Modern Warfare III, or is it a downgrade? Listen to our thoughts now, and stay tuned for more content very soon!
