Checkpoint Chat

This week on a chilly Checkpoint Chat, Sandy pulls out his crown to talk about King of Cards, the latest expansion to Shovel Knight, while Matty is off hunting ghosts in the amazing Luigi's Mansion 3. Believe in the heart of the cards.

As the year draws to a close Matty continues to find new wonders to behold in Death Stranding, as Sandy finally finds a groove with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. The pair then discuss good gaming drinks and why Nesquik is just the best.

This week on Checkpoint Chat, Matty puts on his FedEx cap and updates us on his Death Stranding progress, while Sandy taps into the Force and delivers impressions on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Also, this podcast is now old enough to have a new Half-Life game announcement as news! Sleep tight, Gordon

On an intimate episode of Checkpoint Chat, Matty gets sweaty with Ring Fit Adventure and flexes his button mashing thumbs with Ultimate Alliance 3. Sandy gushes about his love for The Outer Worlds and finds a rhythm with the addictive Spin Rhythm XD. You don't know someone until you have to share a microphone with them.

This week on a stacked episode of Checkpoint Chat, Matty and Sandy dig deep into their experiences with Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding, encounter spooky delights in Luigi's Mansion and go dark with Modern Warfare.  It's A LOT.

On this special episode of Checkpoint Chat, Sandy and Matty play a game of 20 Questions (give or take) which helps them delve into their gaming habits and hates. 

Spooktober is in full swing so it's fitting that Sandy hit the dance floor with a grim reaper in Felix the Reaper, while sending others to the underworld in Call of Duty Mobile. Matty is used trivia for murder and played a bunch of other new mini-games in Jack Box Party Pack 6, which you definitely should get a party around for. SPOOOOOKY

This week on a roadshow episode of Checkpoint Chat, Sandy's made three new friends in Trine 4 and learnt to think like the Baba Yaga in John Wick Hex, while Matty has discovered just why Titanfall 2 is one of the best shooters you haven't played. Cats harmed us in the making of this episode.

Movement is the name of the game this week on Checkpoint Chat, as Sandy checks out the improved platforming of Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair and Matty checks in with the frantic football of PES 2020. Ain't no chance he's hitting any headers with that hair though.

In this week's extra nice episode of the nicest podcast on the internet, Matty and Sandy check in with the adorable Link's Awakening, discuss some issues with game sharing on the Switch Lite and giggle far too much because, well, we made it folks. *Marcus Fenix voice* NICE!

This week on a busy weekend for Checkpoint Chat, Sandy checks in again with Gears 5 and is learning to love it more and more, Matty is being pleasantly challenged by Celeste's Farewell DLC and the pair discuss how Apple Arcade is a peek into the future for video games. Just don't mix up your fruits.

It's really feeling like the end of the year now and Checkpoint Chat is feeling it with some hot takes on hot games. Sandy chats about his disappointment with Man of Medan and how Gears 5 is blowing him away, while Matty is still hooked on good Mario Maker 2 levels and is diving into Celeste again for its final new Chapter. If you're here, we glad you came all this way *stares*.

Back to the weekly Checkpoint bullshit, Sandy takes a trip through spooky woods in Blair Witch and gets anxious in Wilmot's Warehouse, while Matty is deep into the whimsical levels of custom Mario Maker 2 stages.  SEND US YOUR LEVELS.

Sandy and Matty aren't as busy with new releases this week, with Matty finally getting his hands dirty with Mario Maker 2 and Sandy seeing just how bad Gears POP! can really be. Press POP to vreem.

After a brief delay to avoid the embargo police, Sandy and Matty are here to fill you in on a host of brand spanking new games including Control, Astral Chain, Remnant: From the Ashes and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. It took 64 episodes but we're finally current.

When Matty and Sandy aren't debating the legitimacy of a Gucci cryptocurrency, the pair check in on the haunting puzzle platformer DARQ and the best smoke spots in Counter-Strike. Gamescom is also this week so the pair also discuss what to look out for. Stay Gucci.

In a distinctly retor-flavoured episode of Checkpoint Chat, Sandy checks in with the original DOOM now that it's out on Nintendo Switch, while Matty takes the chance to break down the first three Super Mario Bros. and explains why they're such classics. No nipple submissions please.

This week on Checkpoint Chat things are the opposite of what they should be, as Matty checks in on the very recent Wolfenstein Youngblood while Sandy visits the much older Hyper Light Drifter among chats about thatgamecompany's Sky and Valve's very old Counter-Strike. Oh and we ban anime. Because someone had to.

It’s blisteringly cold but Sandy and Matty have convened around a heater to talk about swinging through New York as Spider-Man and making devilishly difficult levels in Mario Maker 2. The pair also discuss more about Nintendo’s new Switch plans and cry over the lack of listener questions.

This week on Checkpoint Chat, Matty is back to his destructive bullshit and playing DOTA 2 again, but also making time for a delightful party game where he’s bad at lying. Sandy is deep in Dragon Quest Builders 2 and just loves hitting those blue slimes. Burn your slimes before they rise again
