Sinopsis
My name is Manny and I like to play video games in my free time. I write a whole bunch on my blog, which is located at www.gametimewm.blogspot.comYou have stumbled upon the place where I host my hot new Podcast, which is aptly named Game Time With Manny. Since I'm just a regular dude who plays a ton of games in his spare time I decided not to rehash the weekly gaming news, because you can get that anywhere else. Instead, each episode will focus on a specific topic, or game. That way I can actually do something unique, that you might actually want to listen to.It's game time!

Episode 276 - This is Fine
04/05/2025 Duración: 01h59minWe had a couple weeks of no bad news, but that all ended this week. If you don't want to hear me get angry and sad about the state of games media then you can skip this one. Xbox Prices go up, GTA VI delayed, Respawn layoffs, Giant Bomb and Polygon gutted. Only the most uplifting topics! Then we move on to what we have been playing! Both Matt and I played some Oblivion Remastered. I focused on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, while Matt also played Forza Horizon 5 and Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. I skip out on my top 10 update again since we went long.

Episode 262 - Far Cry 3 Jamboree
27/10/2024 Duración: 01h36minWe return with a wildly barebones news week.

Matt took a much more interesting approach and sampled a ton of games for 15 minutes and reports his feelings on which he might continue and which he thought were no good.

Episode 260 - $699
29/09/2024 Duración: 02h37sWe took an extra week off because I was in San Francisco for vacation! Now that I've returned we go over a lot of news like the very pricey PS5 Pro, TGS announcements, PalWorld being sued by Nintendo, and Assassin's Creed Shadows being delayed. I played SO many new games like the Plucky Squire, Balatro, UFO 50, and Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Matt has continued to stick with older games like Dragon's Dogma, Stuntman: Ignition, and Crackdown. We have so much to discuss so this one goes a bit longer than recent episodes!
