Today on BALDUR'S GATE 3: Lorroakan's vault holds a number of secrets, most of which are hidden behind unintuitive door puzzles. And traps. Oh, the traps. Plus, Celeste finds a book, which tells her how to read a different book. youtu.be/k2LRtPlhc-U

Good morning! Today we're briefly discussing the passings of Michelle Trachtenberg and Gene Hackman before focusing on gameplay. Somehow, this winds up with us trying to figure out where some Dutch guys crawled across a road one time. https://youtu.be/LTGmSM8SlDk

Today on CULT OF THE LAMB: The Lamb's failure has led to a crisis of faith among the Cultists. A new friend introduces us to new ways of building loyalty. And another new friend shows us new ways of building our body count. https://youtu.be/vnMJEdtRV2Y

Good morning! Today we're blowing up plans before they can blow up in our face, coming ever so close to Samurai Sam's Daily Challenge score, and arguing about how many airports there are in jolly London town. One. The answer is one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uQZ...

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na SPIDER-MAN! twitch.tv/The_Goog

Here at The_Goog it is our solemn vow not to ask this kind of person how to increase viewership or engagement.

Here's our planned stream schedule for this week! The winner of the Tuesday game poll will be announced during GMMM on Tuesday morning; if you haven't voted yet, you should! The poll is incredibly close right now, and I want as many people to have a say as possible! www.rcv123.org/ballot/M67CR...

There's still time to vote in the poll for our Tuesday stream game! Here are the choices: * Assassin's Creed II * Dishonored * FF7 Remake * FF15 * Hotline Miami * Marvel's Spider-Man * MechWarrior 5 * Pokémon Platinum (randomized Nuzlocke) * Sly Cooper * WrestleQuest www.rcv123.org/ballot/M67CR...

Today on SPIRIT SWAP: It's finally time for the big concert! The music crescendos and credits roll, but we're just getting the story started! As we learn more about our friends, we're rewarded with, among other things, a very large spider in a very small box. www.youtube.com/watch?v=94pX...

Today on CULT OF THE LAMB: A follower has developed some rather strange appetites, and indulging one just means the next one will be even worse. Later, the Cult suffers its first loss, in more ways than one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pugb...

Good morning! Today we drown in a frankly unfair flood of traffic, then are forcibly reminded of the horrors despite actually trying to avoid them. Rude, Timeguessr. Just rude. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMVs...

Today on BALDUR'S GATE 3: The party's sewer adventures continue, as they stumble upon yet more murderous jerks, and their crow pals. After being turned away by the Bhaal door('s Gate), the party finds a whole lot of treasure, and a whole lot of zombies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Cwo...

Today on CULT OF THE LAMB: Goog learns the most important part of any game: the fishing mechanic. Basic resources prove to be surprisingly scarce. Later, the Lamb pays his first visit to the Bishop Heket! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgCI...

Good morning! Today we speed through Busan before displaying our knowledge, or lack thereof, of contemporary history. Judging by the number of quotes logged in chat, Goog is apparently on one today. Is that a good thing? You decide! www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4ME...

I laughed harder at the cheese pull moment in Spirit Swap than I have at anything in weeks.

Good morning! Today we're scratching and clawing for every last commuter and road tile we can get before inevitably plunging a city into chaos. The usual. We also wind up as far away from where we're supposed to be as is possible, which is impressive, in its own way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDWX...

www.rcv123.org/ballot/M67CR... It is time once again to help choose what our new Tuesday stream game will be!

Today on CULT OF THE LAMB: The cult continues to grow, both in numbers and complexity, as the Lamb learns about farming and rituals and mind reading. Leshy tries to take matters into his own...mouth, I guess? He doesn't really have hands. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rye8...

Good morning! Today we're discussing the importance of self-care, by way of going through all the terms Goog has muted on Bluesky. Why don't you just quit Bluesky, Goog? Try something less dangerous and addictive, like black tar heroin? www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKiL...

Today on SPIRIT SWAP: Samar's essence exchanging leads her to swap spirits against a polycule, pick up a magic Pokédex, and battle a bodacious bodybuilder on his boobalicious beach! Boobalicious. I said what I said. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVn1...

Today on BALDUR'S GATE 3: You know how we've spent the last two episodes fighting people? Well in this episode we're exclusively fighting constructs. Four of them. At once. One of which is the biggest, scariest, nastiest construct we've fought in the whole game. Joy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HLl...

Good morning! Today we're leaving the 0 on the "It has been _ days since we accidentally mentioned the horrors" sign, putting up a surprisingly good score in the Daily Challenge, and fondly remembering the Ford administration. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u_V...

Today on CULT OF THE LAMB: Running a cult, as it turns out, is hard work. There's a lot of manual labor that you need to do, and the skill trees are deep and numerous. Still, I suppose it beats joining a cult, right? www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKw2...

Good morning! Today we accidentally wind up ranting about the state of our falling empire, which is just a thing that's going to happen every once in a while. Sorry? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ywqt...

There are spirits in the forest! Thankfully they're only in the forest, as our town is protected by a magic barri--oh the barrier failed. Well! Good thing we can send the spirits away by playing Pokémon Puzzle League at them! Let's play SPIRIT SWAP! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ee0Q...

Good morning! Today we're briefly discussing the absolute annihilation at the Super Bowl--of the Chiefs, not of Drake, though that was fun too. We also go back in time, though we can never be quite sure when. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjAx...

I bet I could make money with a service where you and three of your friends take edibles or something and then 45 minutes later I take you through a car wash.

Today, on the FINALE of L.A. NOIRE: For our final mission, Cole and Jack work two different angles to track down Elsa's kidnapper. Jack does something Cole never gets a chance to. And then we get to the ending, which...sure is an ending. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXUa...

Good morning! Today we're once again desperately searching for bridges and trying to make it work when they don't appear. The rest of the episode is dedicated to guy remembering, license plate squinting, and discussions of the best kind of burps. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqfT...

Today on BALDUR'S GATE 3: After some catching up with the team, the Emperor decides it's time to bare all. Or at least, his chest. There's bare-chested mind flayer in this episode. You've been warned. Later, let's find a foundry! www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6SP...

Good morning! Today we're discussing the evolution of the buttfumble, the desperate need for bridges, and Jeff Cirillo. There is so much Jeff Cirillo chat in this episode. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7z6...

I had a ton of fun playing Spirit Swap on stream tonight! Thanks again to @softnotweak.bsky.social for the advanced copy! We'll have more Match-3 goodness on stream next week, and videos on YouTube in the near future too!

Let's trade souls for essences in SPIRIT SWAP! twitch.tv/The_Goog

Good morning! Today we're celebrating SEVEN HUNDRED episodes of GMMM with a trip to Vancouver! To mark the occasion we're playing all the hits, namely we're busting out a RATWIKE and being bested by SamuraiSam and trying then failing to avoid the horrors. Fun! www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJVN...

I haven't played too much of @softnotweak.bsky.social's new game Spirit Swap, because I want to save my impressions for when it officially releases and we get to see it on stream tomorrow, BUT, I just played for a little bit to make sure my controller would behave well and I had to yank myself away.

This week's stream schedule is highlighted by @softnotweak.bsky.social's brand new game Spirit Swap, which comes out tomorrow! We'll have my first look at that, plus the 700th episode of GMMM, the start of the endgame in Baldur's Gate 3, and more!

Good morning! Today we're in New York City, tossing motorways in every direction imaginable. Later we travel back in time and remember not only guys, but cartoon mice as well. Go west! www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDR9...

Today on L.A. NOIRE: Jack gets out of his hospital bed and immediately starts making terrible decisions. Among those is a visit to his boss' house, where we find possibly the most disturbing thing in the entire game. I'm not kidding. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTwO...

Good morning! Today we're prophesying doom, but only in Mini Motorways. Everywhere else is fine. Don't worry about it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAnW...

Today on BALDUR'S GATE 3: Counsellor Florrick reveals a way we can potentially save the city. Later, Jaheera introduces us to her family, and Goog pitches a potential gutpunch of all gutpunches to end the game. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMzg...

Good morning! Today we only have one motorway, and must cling tightly to it as we discuss daisy chains, beverages, and José Vidro. Plus, we learn that guessing games are much easier when they just tell you the answer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tax...

Work is picking up, so it'll be a more abbreviated stream schedule for the next couple of weeks. Still, there's plenty of fun to be had this week, and I have a special surprise lined up for next week too!

Today on BALDUR'S GATE 3: Celeste meets an old friend, and learns that Withers may have inadvertently created a monster. Later, we try to befriend some mud mephits, which ends...muddily. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyfm...

Good morning! Today's episode features plenty of motorways, abandoned plans, and a guy by the name of Dave who has pledged his life to our Lord and Savior. Or maybe just the Kansas City Royals. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcKG...

Today on L.A. NOIRE: Another suspicious housefire brings us a tremendously named NPC actor, more trouble for Benoit Blanc, and more crookedness in the police department. Later, Cole spots an opportunity to deploy a terrible plan. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoWw...

Good morning! Today we're talking about The Lord of the Rings, a topic about which Goog knows astonishingly little. That doesn't stop us from extolling the virtues of the books and movies, and celebrating the work of Orlando Bloom as Aragorn. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlnU...

Today on BALDUR'S GATE 3: Let's meet Nine-Fingers Keene! She seems cool and fun and only a little mad at Jaheera. Among her many minions is Celeste's jaundiced, wrinkly doppelganger! We also get the first peek at the potential Big Bad of Baldur's Gate 4. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyVW...

Good morning! Today we're talking about the dangers of hubris, and what happens when you think you're being good and proactive but the world has other plans. This applies to life and Mini Motorways, as it turns out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWK8...
