This week on Filthy Casuals, we are rounding up our hopes and fears for the imminent release of Metroid Prime 4 Beyond.

I have been dabbling in some demos to try and find the perfect 7 out of 10 summer break game.

And Ben has gone in on the open world action adventure RPG, where wins meet.

All of that and more on today's episode of Filthy Casuals.

Good morning, video games. Welcome to Filthy Casuals, a podcast about video games hosted by two very kind and

extremely knowledgeable boys.

Thank you for joining us.

My name is Tommy Daslo and joining me as ever.

As ever.

Yeah.

It's Benvenel here.

We are racing towards the end of the year. I know. It's an exciting time in doing podcasts. It is. We, very, very short week. Because we're about to not have to do them for a year. Yeah, we're going to have a break. Stop putting up this facade. It's not, it's a weird one every year where it's not really a break because to get to the break, it's not a break for the listeners. We have a break, but in order to get that break, we have to do a couple of days of hours and hours and hours of recording. Yeah, yes. Yeah, we're going to have to do a couple of fucking real, real long haul drives. A couple of sessions. Yeah. But then we can, then we can treat ourselves to a little knockoff drink. Yes, yes. Our filthy casuals Christmas party. Yeah. But then we can, then we can treat ourselves to a little, a little knockoff drink. Yes, yes. Our filthy casuals Christmas party. Yeah. Two people. Yeah, we did that last year. We've done it a few years, just the two of us. We did it last year and we ran into Tony Martin. Oh, yes. For a boozy Christmas lunch with Sam Pang, Lawrence Mooney, Angus Samson.

A big bunch of those guys.

Yes.

And Tony kind of pivoted away from the group to sit with us and talk about the Sopranos.

Yes, it was fantastic.

We were kind of doing it to sort of plan the next year ahead.

You know, we have to pivot. We've changed the number of hosts. We're going to talk about what we're going to do

for the patrons. And then, yeah, literally 60 minutes of Tony Martin talking about how great the

Sopranos is. Yeah, it was great. I should, I should send him a message and be like, Hey, just out of interest. You guys planning another one of those just so we can coordinate our interview around them. Well, we can just invite him to the Christmas party. We could. Yeah. Just say that like, look, we're having a bit of a Christmas party for the podcast. We'd love to have you down there. Don't mention that it's only the two of us. Yes. We should, I mean, it's too late to plan this now, but we should maybe for 2026, we should have some kind of end of year filthy casuals Christmas party. Oh, yeah. Maybe with some patrons or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We could play some games somewhere. Yeah. Maybe we could get that off the ground.

Yeah.

Maybe it's not too late. Who knows? I don't know. Let us know if you listen to this actually when it comes out as well. We are running out of days. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But let us know if you do it next year. We can do a little live show and a little afterwards Christmas party. Yeah. But yeah, barreling towards the end of the year where we get to not only have a break,
