Ranking David Lynch's Filmography
We took a week off for the holidays but actually Hunter, Shelton, and Chris Felton (Who you will remember from the Space Ghost episode) met up to record a way too long sendup of one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. In this episode we rank every David Lynch feature and each season of Twin Peaks in chronological order! Obviously this doesn't have anything to do with video games but hey don't worry about it, consider this an unasked for New Year's day present!

Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness (1995)
Hunter and Exothermic are back in the saddle talking about Blizzard's foundational RTS classic, Warcraft 2!!! There's also a fair bit about the Supreme Court of the United States and also the Game Awards. I guess you could say this podcast has a little something for everyone.

Hollow Knight: Silksong (2025)
Hunter was able to talk Ernest Jernest into coming right back to talk about one of the biggest games of the century, Hollow Knight: Silksong. Apologies that we're not exhaustedly discussing sparse details of this game in a hotel room in Indianapolis but we thought maybe we'd do it justice this time. ;)  To see the most up to version of The OGA 100, visit https://bckl.gg/oHm4 Music by nightcorey. https://soundcloud.com/nightcorey  Consider contributing to our show on Patreon.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (1995)
Matt has returned to Hunter's couch to talk about that green egg laying dyno we all know and love! A classic OGA discussion of feeling pretty alright about a video game. Cold open discussion is all about the Analogue 3D that both the boys recently unwrapped as early Christmas gifts from Santa!

I Have No Mouth and, I Must Scream (1995)
This week Hunter and newcomer Shelton Brister sit down to talk about the darkest game in OGA history. A twisted weirdo post-apocalyptic point-and-click written by Harlan Ellison. It's a lot but this game invites a lot of interesting discussion even if that discussion requires some pretty serious content warnings.

Playstation Launch Anniversary! (Every US launch game ranked)
The show is back! We've got a new theme song and a whole new style of episode. Expect new weekly episodes going forward but for this first week I've gone solo in celebration of the 30 year US anniversary of my beloved Playstation. This episode is basically just me (Hunter) reading a listicle I wrote ranking the 11 launch titles for the PS1 and even though I have a lot of love for this era of gaming, most of my short blurbs are me making fun of these old games so enjoy that or not, next week I'll be back with something more traditional for you.   To see the most up to version of The OGA 100, visit https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XOZBL48AWviFJGFpafwne6DXT5t08Rhu0YlKkleRjT4/edit?usp=sharing THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS IF YOU ARE LISTENING TO OLDER EPISODES.   Music by nightcorey. https://soundcloud.com/nightcorey  Consider contributing to our show on Patreon.
