The Casual Hour

Author: The Casual Hour

Welcome to The Casual Hour, a podcast ostensibly about video games. Hosted by Bobby Pease and Chase Koeneke, The Casual Hour is a gaming channel where we chill out, mess around and, sometimes, even talk about games! Whether were previewing the monthly releases, diving deep on a variety of topics, streaming with our friends or just chatting about the games weve been playing that week, The Casual Hour is your home for sharp insight, dumb jokes and most of all, a real good time.

On this edition of The Casual Hour, we give ourselves a do-over and see what our games of 2016 are…in 2026! // T W I T C H & Y O U T U B E------------------------------------------------------------------------------------M W F @ 9 PM CST⁠twitch.tv/thecasualhour⁠⁠youtube.com/thecasualhour⁠// S U B S C R I B E------------------------------------------------------------------------------------⁠https://www.youtube.com/thecasualhour⁠We post Casually Considereds and VODs from previous streams weekly!// F O L L O W------------------------------------------------------------------------------------One link to rule them all:⁠ www.thecasualhour.com⁠// T H E C A S U A L H O U R------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Bobby Pease -⁠ ⁠https://linktr.ee/bob_ombyChase Koeneke -⁠ http://Linktr.ee/chase_koeneke⁠// M U S I C------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Love our theme music?
