KnockBack, Episode 100: 100 Video Games We Adore

Excellent! Sometimes it's the easiest solution that works. <3

Colin Moriarty

Actually there is a solution Colin now that I think of it. EA Access is now available on PS4 where it was previously only available on Xbox for console. They can be played through that app on Playstation. I assume it cant be downloaded from the PS Store because EA is keeping some type of stranglehold on it

Brett Carlson

Ok I did as you said, and it worked! Thanks alot :)

Daniel Guetter

Hey Daniel, I'm not sure why that is! It's the first I'm hearing about this. (Make sure to DM me if you have problems so I see your issue quicker.) If you're listening on the app, you may need to try to logout and log back in. I hate to do this, too, but Patreon Support might be able to help. <3

Colin Moriarty

It's ridiculous that there's no solution on PS4. Hopefully that changes.

Colin Moriarty

Like, the actor?

Colin Moriarty

Yeah, I really liked Death Stranding's music, and I like how the game announced new tracks so that if I was listening to a podcast or something I knew to shut it off so I could take a gander.

Colin Moriarty

Colin, I cant seem to access this episode of knock back on patreon. I tried a couple days ago and it just buffers but never plays.

Daniel Guetter

Also for anyone wondering you can play Mass Effect trilogy on Xbox One through Games Pass. Just ran through the whole trilogy about 3 months ago. Colin is right about PS4 though and its unfortunate.

Brett Carlson

Colin I completely agree that Vice City has one of the best soundtracks ever, but a game I feel a lot of; atleast mainstream journos, didnt shine a light on for its music is...... Death Stranding. Now listen I know this style of very low, introspective music isn't for everyone, but those tracks as your trekking through a beautiful desolate memory of what once was America, and then the camera pulls back and the music gets louder. Just wow. And the fact Kojima found Low Roar in the bumblefuck of Iceland and pretty much single handedly made their careers is something to behold about Kojima as a creator. The soundtrack fits the game perfectly and to EVERYONE I implore you to put Asylums for the Feelings by Silent Poets on your playlist. A truly harrowing song.

Brett Carlson

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy... WOODS!!

Kevin Cooper

That is correct.

Colin Moriarty

I'm not a huge fan.

Colin Moriarty

No! It'll ruin the show. =\

Colin Moriarty

People have already said that.

Colin Moriarty

Colin slaughters all cummers.

Eric

How could Colin leave off chrono trigger!?!? Best jrpg!

Travis B

Could you and Dagan maybe post your lists on the Patreon? I was listening while driving and didn’t get a chance to write down some of the games you mentioned to check out. Love the show!

YaBoyStevieJay

Someone probably already commented this and I'm too lazy to read through the comments, but the PS4 version of Catherine does have a third Catherine added, this one named Qat (I think). I haven't played it, so I'm not sure how much it affect the game, but there's some level of new content added, at least

Danny Akenson

Stroke it is!

Colin Moriarty

It's really fun, but we are in fact more talented than most brothers.

Colin Moriarty

Oh, Tom. You card.

Colin Moriarty

Yup, by about 50 minutes!

Colin Moriarty

Colin, it sounds like a bell.

Joey Rawlings

Damn man. This podcast is so special and I'm surprised literally every pair of brothers hasn't done this yet because it seems so fun.

Chase Blauvelt

How dare you not include (insert game I like) !?

Tom Smith

4 hours, damn you spoil us. does this take the cake for there longest podcast so far?

JoshTheNomad

He friggin' loves that game.

Colin Moriarty

Yes... you do!

Colin Moriarty

Thank you. <3

Colin Moriarty

Ask him via Twitter DM!

Colin Moriarty

I was shocked to hear Dagan say Chase HQ, it was one of the first games I've played on my game boy, never heard anyone talk about it.

Kaleb

This was awesome. Loved hearing about the retro games too. Gotta step my KnockBack game up. ❤️

NeO JD

One of my favorite episodes of anything you've ever done, Colin! Discovered several new games that I can't wait to play and its always a joy to hear you and Dagan just riff back and forth. Can't wait for episode 1000!

Bryan Finck

I've got something to send Dagan. How do I make that happen? ;)

Sam Dunham

Hopefully no one looks too closely... =)

Colin Moriarty

Wow, your GOAT? Pretty cool! I'm quite fond of the game myself.

Colin Moriarty

I'm not positive. I think Dagan may have addressed this on Twitter...

Colin Moriarty

I'm sorry. Why not use the RSS feed?!

Colin Moriarty

Great episode! listened to it whilst painting the spare room - so you guys shal always be somewhat responsible for the awful job I have done in there...

Michael Cook

Glad Zelda 2 got some love. My all time favorite game by a mile.

Ryan B.

Fantastic listen! Thank you guys so much for putting in the time and effort to put such an amazing saga together for our enjoyment. But wait, I wasn’t counting! How many games actually overlapped on your lists?!

Lacey

This episode was great, but man did it make me realize once again how much the proprietary audio player on Patreon sucks. Every time I stopped and came back to continue listening, it restarted from the beginning. Had to start remembering the exact minute I was leaving off at in order to come back later and continue

Jack Sibert

Thanks for listening!

Colin Moriarty

Thank you! <3

Colin Moriarty

Dagan just selectively started ignoring the clock. LOL.

Colin Moriarty

That's the idea! Very good.

Colin Moriarty

I love Level-5, but honestly, it didn't even make my big list before I cut it down.

Colin Moriarty

Awesome, very cool.

Colin Moriarty

Are we the first to ever recommend it? LOL.

Colin Moriarty

We always call each other that...

Colin Moriarty

STOP THANKING DUSTIN!!!

Colin Moriarty

There it is. Very cool.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you!

Colin Moriarty

You're gonna get a Dagan solo podcast very soon.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you. We had fun recording it!

Colin Moriarty

Thanks! We like to make y'all laugh.

Colin Moriarty

I didn't play it. I DO have Wild Arms 3 on PS4, though.

Colin Moriarty

Sorry 'bout it.

Colin Moriarty

Glad you're okay.

Colin Moriarty

Maybe I'll send it out one day. Or maybe I'll keep it and use it later!

Colin Moriarty

Snow and rain = gaming weather! In reality, any weather = gaming weather, but still.

Colin Moriarty

That's some name.

Colin Moriarty

I figured that was going to happen to someone.

Colin Moriarty

That would be really cool.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you!

Colin Moriarty

The podcast doesn't self-destruct if you don't listen to it immediately!

Colin Moriarty

We'll take it!

Colin Moriarty

I thought so. I felt like there was something out there. Dagan will be interested to know this.

Colin Moriarty

I own it, and I intend on playing it.

Colin Moriarty

Awesome, welcome to the club! You have 99 other episodes to catch up on. =)

Colin Moriarty

=)

Colin Moriarty

It's our pleasure (and our job)!

Colin Moriarty

Thank you. <3

Colin Moriarty

We insist you enjoy it.

Colin Moriarty

Oh, Madonne a-mi!

Colin Moriarty

We're glad to be there for you. Thanks for your support!

Colin Moriarty

*completely ignores the time limit to go off on a tangent*

Colin Moriarty

I feel like that would kinda ruin the episode, but I won't stop someone else from doing so, naturally!

Colin Moriarty

Why, yes!

Colin Moriarty

The apple didn't fall far from the tree.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you so much!

Colin Moriarty

=)

Colin Moriarty

At least you can work the other half of the day.

Colin Moriarty

Lots of thats.

Colin Moriarty

And I just can't hide it!

Colin Moriarty

You're welcome!

Colin Moriarty

Maybe one day I'll actually get to play it!

Colin Moriarty

That's what we're all about.

Colin Moriarty

<3

Colin Moriarty

Please don't work at work.

Colin Moriarty

Have fun!

Colin Moriarty

Go to bed, Neil.

Colin Moriarty

Oh, it is!!!

Colin Moriarty

Praise the sun.

Colin Moriarty

Stop inflating his ego!

Colin Moriarty

I'm sure his family has already thrown it away.

Colin Moriarty

My answer is: Yes.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you for joining us, and for your support!

Colin Moriarty

Please enjoy!

Colin Moriarty

=\

Colin Moriarty

You deserve whatever I give you.

Colin Moriarty

Colin Moriarty

I like your style.

Colin Moriarty

I'm excited you're excited.

Colin Moriarty

With a P!

Colin Moriarty

The show's traffic has increased at least five times over since launch month.

Colin Moriarty

=)

Colin Moriarty

Have fun!

Colin Moriarty

It's like an episode of Hardcore History!

Colin Moriarty

Oh dear.

Colin Moriarty

Colin Moriarty

In nomine Patris et fillii et Spiritus Sancti.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you for your kind words!

Colin Moriarty

Colin Moriarty

You're welcome!

Colin Moriarty

I'll say.

Colin Moriarty

Please don't get fired.

Colin Moriarty

It's crazy.

Colin Moriarty

You definitely aren't, but we bless you anyway.

Colin Moriarty

Another banger of an episode! Thank you guys!

Omar Rosa

Incredible episode and a epic milestone! Also they're clearly games I need to play lol here's to 100 more!!!

Marcus Brown

I wrote this tongue in cheek btw, I'm not some weirdo that finds it offensive you like a game that I have mixed feelings on, just wanted to participate in the conversation. Peace brothers!

The Rose Experience

It's a list and I don't even know what I'm writing this but here I go: It's time for an I Am Setsuna intervention Colin. It's your list, I know, I know but man is it one of the single most mediocre RPG's ever made and simply a pale imitation of everything it aims to emulate. I say emulate because that's what the entire aim is and it does it rather poorly. The combat system is a mess taking what Chrono Trigger did so well and frankly ruining it. The menu's were one of the worst I've seen in an RPG and keep you guessing as to what character and which abilities create what combo. Maybe it's a time and place thing for you and that's why it means so much but I can't grasp this Setsuna thing, I'm sorry! Anyway, love ya man and I enjoyed the pod even if it was way too NES heavy.

The Rose Experience

I love that the clock rule doesn't apply to Journey <3

Joe McPartlin

I respect these lists. Mine's quite a bit different, but I extracted a bunch of recommendations from this episode

Jack Sibert

Great episode!! I was surprised that Dark Cloud didn’t make Colin’s 50 :(

Andy Jenereaux

Great episode. Congratulations lads, I was sitting on my couch playing Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow while listening, great way to spend a saturday afternoon.

Ryan Murdoch

FINALLY SOMEBODY ACKNOWLEDGES HOW GOOD FINAL FANTASY 4 WAS

Watch Ergo Proxy

Also why do you guys say "my friend" so much lol

Matt tamer

This is my first time listening to an episode of Knockback! I really enjoyed it, and I have some constructive feedback for DM. Please don't take offense - I really want the pod to be great. DM's takes often feel too milquetoast, as if he is holding back from what he really feels. This is probably normal for someone who isn't experienced podcasting (Colin has over a decade of experience). I think it would be cool to have one or two DM solo podcasts (even if just for practice) to help him fortify his skills. I just noticed that most of what DM said for the first 30 minutes were simple affirmations "yes" "of course" "exactly" and I have a feeling he has a lot more to offer once settling in. Love you guys. Edit**DM finds his footing around the 2 hour mark, particularly when talking about Journey.

Matt tamer

Here’s to 100 more!

GameSimp

https://youtu.be/m8ipdQz_O5U Here’s the skate video with the ducktales song Dagan mentioned.

Ivan Hornett

One of the best episodes yet. Thank you boys for doing that and Dustin for editing.

Barrett Boswell

I definitely don't mind the episodes being longer like this one. But this topic especially warranted it. Really fun episode.

Samuel Mills

Only a hour in and this is one of my favorite episodes in a while(though all are very good). Bravo on the bell idea. Had me cracking up.

Will Caldwell

While the first two Wild Arms are good games. I also have a soft spot for Wild Arms 5. Late ps2 release and pretty overlooked.

Trapgunner

The timer beep sounds like the interlude beep in Cha Cha Slide....and I can’t not hear it.

Drew Lee

Y'all were killing me with the bell. Dagan's bell sounded perfect to me. (I'm really hoping Dustin didn't edit in a good bell sound.) I was laughing so hard I was afraid I was going to wreck my truck.

Jason Stafford

i want that bell=)

Anastas Lyakh

This was such a cool episode, well done episode. You guys talking about living in New England and being snowed in while playing games was awesome. I always tell people how that’s the best part of winter here in Boston. It’s something I always enjoyed and look forward to. Great episode, hats off to you two sons of a bitch!

KoRnTOOL

4 Hours!? Count me in!

Remington James

100 episodes, amazing! Dagan has quickly become one of my favorite podcast hosts! Have to admit though, that Google alarm brings back flashbacks of using my phone for an alarm. Alarm tone for my Pixel 2 XL sounded exactly like that, makes sense seeing as it is a Google phone.

Kam Wallis

Damn, this hit me right in the nostalgia feels! Episodes like this VALIDATE the podcast name! I would give anything to relive a Saturday morning in the 90’s! Id love Nintendo to make a VR game called Saturday morning and you play old NES games like virtual console! Lol

James

Congratulations on 100 episodes!! You guys are awesome! Just sitting down to listen now.

Jeff Pollard

Oh man this is gonna be a long night lol 4 hours of you knuckleheads. AirPods in sleep on the way , hopefully !

Anthony Longo

Approaching Irishman levels of epic with this 100th show!

Jake De Agrela

Not sure if anyone else has pointed this out, but Castle of Illusion had a remake in 2013 that was released on PS3 and 360. It was a good remake for a great game!

Aidan Wilson

Colin you gotta play Catherine Full Body... it's not just a port. The 3rd girl element made it feel like a new story.

Andres

I listened to this episode while finally finishing Uncharted Golden Abyss on Vita. It was my first knockback episode and I loved it.

Johannes

Fucking “double Rambo,” hahahaha!

Forrest Hunter

Really appreciate you guys taking the time out of your lives to bless us with 4 hours of awesome.

Jessica Gutiérrez

Just finished! loved it, such a fun idea!

Brandon Soto

You know what’s funny, Col’, not to go off on a tangent.... *Dagan voice*

Brandon Soto

Also are you guys able to post your lists somewhere as a quick reference guide?

McBain

Congratulations on 2 years and 100 episodes of podcast greatness! Also, a 4 hour podcast? Are you some kind of great and powerful magician?!?!

Jose Horrach

Thank you for this! What a great way to celebrate. Here's to 100 more!!

strawhatninja

Also - Catherine Full Body has a remix mode which adds a new and fascinating addition to block types the group block which make tetromino shaped varieties of blocks linked together (al la tetris). Really changes up the gameplay

Ryan Harvey

Now, that’s a value.

You’re god damn right this is 4 hours long! I love you boys xoxoxo

Adam Barnes

That's me sorted for work tomorrow!
