Summary

Every so often, a game comes along that helps define a genre. When it comes to 2005's God of War -- which launched that year on PlayStation 2 courtesy of Santa Monica Studio -- one can't help but see how important it was (and still is) to so many of the 3D action games we play today. Inspired by Greek mythology, a cinematic approach, a glorified sense of gore and sex, and... well... some Capcom games, clearly, God of War remains one of the PlayStation brand's biggest touchstones all of these years (and consoles) later. So grab your Blades of Chaos, Kratos fans. It's about to get tragic. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

My name is Colin Moriarty. I'm joined as always by my brother,

Degen Kronos Moriarty. Degen, welcome to the show. How are you today, my friend?

0:24.1

It's like the ugliest character in a game full of ugly characters. Ugly, really.

0:28.7

It's appropriate, I guess. I was hoping you would go with like Degen God amongst the men.

0:33.7

God, yeah, it feels nice. I would have been a little more pleasant for me, but I appreciate

0:40.5

you all the same. Good to see you, my friend. You rock in the jet shirt.

0:44.9

Yeah, it's just the draft just happened. We drafted in your quarterback, Zach Wilson,

0:49.4

second overall. I know how much you want to be. But I just, it's almost May and there was a day

0:56.8

this week. I wasn't going to go there, but let me, let me briefly regale you with my

1:01.2

aggravation about a big football guy. Some of you guys know out there know that.

1:05.6

Which annoys me a little bit, but yeah, I know. I know. It's a bone of contention for you, too.

1:09.5

I understand. But you know, it's, it's spring. It's getting warm outside. It's like late April

1:15.6

during the week, walking home from the bus stop. And it's all dads at my bus stop, except for one

1:20.4

person, which is interesting. And they start going on about, I guess it was that day or that

1:25.3

morning was, you know, their draft teams, their fantasy teams were starting their draft, right?

1:30.3

So they're starting to talk about football. And I'm thinking in my head, like, can I get a break?

1:34.4

It's April. Can I get a break from fucking football? Now, now also, I can't be a part of these
