Hello everyone and welcome. We are the Split Screen Synics and we love video games. We love playing them, arguing about them, reading into them way more than any normal person really should and also talking about them. Split Screen Synics is a show by fans for fans where we talk the industry while also providing a little bit of creative flair with our commentary. It may get a little out of hand at times, but we feel that this is where the magic will happen. Give it a listen and join us as we talk video games.

Transcribe →SSS - Episode 83: Death's Door (Gameclub)
Nov 2, 202101:15:53Tap to summarizeIt's a bittersweet one with episode 83 - We finally get around to talking about Death's Door, the amazing indie title by developer Acid Nerve that is an all around gem of a game, but as it turns out this episode becomes something of a swan song for the current Synics team. It's kind of fitting in a way that it is Garrett and Berto talking Death's Door - the genesis of the Synics back in 2018 was this pair and it's only grown from there. Come for the always fun game talk, stay for the nostalgia and weepy send off. It isn't "Good Bye", it's a "See Ya Later"Socials:Berto's TwitterSplit Screen Synics TwitterSplit Screen Synics Twitch Discord:Virtual Couch

Transcribe →SSS - Episode 78: Everhood (Gameclub)
Aug 2, 202101:35:00Tap to summarizeWe have a full panel of hosts back! Garrett is back and realizes how much he misses the rest of us despite his replacement avatar polling well with listeners. We missed Garrett and it's nice to have all 4 Synics back together to talk games. Before diving into Everhood (which Berto insists on calling Everwood...the real ones will know) the Synics take some time to talk about the ongoing lawsuit between the state of California and Activision Blizzard. It's important to make sure the discourse around this doesn't die out as part of the regular news cycle and that we make sure to keep those in charge accountable - The Synics stand with the employees of Activision Blizzard. Following up with that is our deep dive into Tim's pick for Gameclub which is the lovely and charming rhythm game published by Foreign Gnomes and Surefire Game. A lovely little gem of a game that has some crazy moments and music that really slaps. Listen in to see what we have to say.
