  • Dialogue Options Podcast Episode 298: The 2025 Game Awards Special
    Dec 16 2025

    Greetings listeners!

    On this week's episode we've got a breakdown on the recent 2025 Game Awards hosted by Geoff Keighley.

    We spend the first part of the show talking about the general vibes we got from the show and if we felt it had any improvements over previous iterations before spending the back end of the episode getting a little excited over some of the reveals.

    We'll see you all in 2026!

  • Dialogue Options Podcast Episode 297: The Metroid Prime 4 Episode
    Dec 9 2025

    Greetings listeners!

    On this week's episode of the podcast we focus in entirely on our Quest Log. First Joel goes over some of the new additions to the latest season of Fortnite and Kyran tempts Joel with some new details about the latest Destiny 2 expansion, Renegades, which just so happens to be inspired by Star Wars.

    Then we move onto the main topic. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is now available for Nintendo Switch 1 + 2 and Kyran has sunk a lot of time into the game so that he could hit credits and bring his relatively fresh (and somewhat messy thoughts) to the show. The result is hopefully not too convoluted as he attempts to put his thoughts out there for a game he has desperately spent years waiting for.

    (It will not be the last time he talks about it)

    We'll be back next week for our last episode of the year which will focus in on the Game Awards.

  • Dialogue Options Podcast Episode 296: Valve's Steam Machine Lounge Room Shake Up
    Nov 25 2025

    Greetings listeners!

    On this week's episode Joel succumbed and picked up Dispatch so he spends some time here talking (spoiler-free) with Kyran about how much he loved as an employee of SDN before shifting gears to talk about Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. Kyran then spends way more time than he planned to rant about Metroid and his hopes for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.

    (9 DAYS UNTIL METROID PRIME 4: BEYOND)

    Meanwhile in the Bonus Round we talk about Valve's newest hardware, the Steam Machine, and ponder how it could potentially shake up the lounge room arrangement many people have. We also find some time to shout out Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and its recent award success at the Golden Joysticks as we head into Game Awards season.

    Greetings listeners!

    On this week's episode we've got a packed Quest Log with Joel dipping in to the latest Fortnite crossover event featuring The Simpons and Kyran's been practising his dinosaur park abilities in Jurassic World Evolution 3. Last of all, Kyran convinces Joel to bite the bullet and pick up Dispatch, a new episodic adventure game from Adhoc and Critical Role featuring a stacked cast and serves as a reminder just how good this style of game can be.

    Meanwhile we squeeze in a small Bonus Round to talk about the massive 3.0 update for Animal Crossing: New Horizon and the wild announcement that Halo is being remade in Unreal Engine as Halo: Campaign Evolved and will be coming to PS5 as well as Xbox and PC.

    This is an episode we've been looking forward to making for a long time because Hollow Knight Silksong has released after years of mystery! Massive props to Team Cherry for making this absolute masterpiece of a game that somehow delivers on all of the lofty expectations carried over from the original Hollow Knight.

  • Dialogue Options Podcast Episode 291: Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025 Edition
    Aug 26 2025

    Greetings listeners!

    On this week's episode of the podcast we spend a little time digging into a couple of games on both Kyran and Joel's Quest Log. Joel talks about his with The Rogue Prince of Persia after it dropped on the PlayStation Plus service, plus he's been making time for some Halls of Torment on his phone when he can as well. Both of us have dipped our toes ever so briefly into the Sword of the Sea as well, so we spend a little bit of time talking about Giant Squid's latest release to wrap things up.

    Then it is over to the Bonus Round where we run through the list of headlines from Geoff Keighley's 2025 edition of Gamescom Opening Night Live, stopping to talk about particular announcements and reveals that caught our interest. We also make sure to mention the exciting news that Hollow Knight: Silksong now has a release and it'll be out before the next episode releases.
