This is it. This is goodbye to ICB, and hello to Infinite Cities. We're officially dropping the Blaseball, and moving on to our future of "good games, and better friends." It's bittersweet, wrapping up everything we've been doing these past three (almost) years, but that doesn't mean we're going anywhere. In fact, you might not even notice the diff…

Blaseball will not be returning. In a lot of ways, this isn't different than a month ago - we didn't have Blaseball then, and we still don't have Blaseball now. Our last regular season episode was thirty-nine. But in more meaningful ways, the world is a little less cool. Even though we gave up talking about blaseball a while ago, this still sucks. …

Despite everything that's gotten in the way for the past few weeks, Will, Karp, and Gary have been devoting their time to being the Hero of Hyrule. in this episode: will has played the least of us, our formative zelda years, rediscovering 3D zelda, those sheikah duds, doing everything in a weird order, going to hyrule castle, ~~link's~~ zelda's hou…

Disco Elysium is somehow (still) so much more than we could have anticipated, but we're finally wrapping up our conversation from last week with the endgame! Feather's still doing too many drugs, Gary has thoughts about the hole, Will's complaining about tech, and Karp is still just better than you. Content warning: this episode contains discussion…

Wow, Disco Elysium is a lot. It feels a bit late to be getting to this game, but we're finally in the dark (metaphorically and physically), dank (same) city of Revachol! Gary found books to read, Feather's trying to solve being sad through chemistry, Will is having a hard time finding his place and Karp is just better than you. This game is so big,…

Taco D3 Mayo might be behind us, but it still looms large in our heads - and T4co De Mayo is just around the corner! To settle our minds, friend of the show Deejay burst into our podcast and sat us down for an interview. How did TDM go? Who was it for? And, why in the name of christ did we go to 3pm on Saturday? In this episode: kool-aid man morali…

This Friday, May 5th (actually Cinco De Mayo this time!) we're kicking off our annual 24-hour charity marathon livestream extravaganza! If you like ICB, or if you hate ICB and enjoy seeing us suffer, tune in from 3:30 pm Pacific, May 5, through 4:00 pm Pacific, May 6th! The stream will be live at https://www.twitch.tv/infinitecitiesblaseball Stream…

This week, we're continuing our playthough of One and Ninety-Eight! The Erie Sunfish continue to struggle to find a foothold in the Major Leagues, despite everyone's best efforts to improve themselves. our characters: Double-O Forever: Hotshot star batter, very fast, finger guns, slicked back hair. "call me double-o". Guy fieri shirt. Jealous of le…

Titanfall 2 might not have a lot to say, but we certainly do! From our favorite titans (Scorch is da best, ignore the rest of those losers on this show) to a confused rundown of the plot, we had such a good time talking about a good time that maybe we forgot to explain, say, what an R-201 is. Who cares! Certainly not Titanfall 2. Content warning: e…

Another week has come and gone and we are still without blaseball to discuss, so we're playing another ttrpg! Feather has been designing games for a while now, and this is our first time playing the first game she'd published, One and Ninety-Eight! our characters: Double-O Forever: Hotshot star batter, very fast, finger guns, slicked back hair. "ca…

Night in the Woods is a dense game, with a lot to say. It should be no surprise that we have a ton to say about it also! In this monster episode we try to come to terms with possibly the most literary work we've played thus far - so literary, in fact, that Feather thinks maybe this one should have just been a book? It's complicated, there's no good…

Feather and I are just vibing tonight so, congrats. in this episode: nonsense, pedro pascal, idle games, layoffs, transitioning, coming out, other stuff ~shoutouts zone~ Pedro Pascal's Triangle of Prestige Nic Cage Filmography ~~~ Our theme music comes from the wonderful Hokuto. Want to shout about the episode? Join us at the Taco Stand Discord - i…

We're really struggling to come up with content during the non-video game book club weeks, but that's not gonna stop us! This week, we're talking about our ideas for a Blaseball LARP! What's this game look like? How do we play it? Does wearing a Mike Trout jersey mean you're cosplaying? in this episode: please imagine finger guns, 1v1 blaseball, pl…

Last Video Game Book Club pick was way, way too long to play in a week (Gary is still playing CrossCode!) so this week we've picked something shorter: titularly shorter, in fact. A Short Hike is a tiny, perfectly cut gem of a game, and we're too distracted sharing everything we've found to level more than one or two criticisms at it. Play it, and t…

There's been plenty of team rankings running around, but as a crew of mostly-tacos, we needed to settle everyone's relative standings on the most important of axes: if your team was a taco, how good would it be? The answer is this good: https://imgur.com/a/Xi6FyLA (spoiler alert) Content warning: discussion of food for the entirety of the episode. …

For our second entry in our Video Game Book Club, we played CrossCode, a wonderful love letter to they heyday of MMORPGs! And what better way to pay our own homage to this era than by trying to play a 40 hour game in two weeks? Maybe this was a bad idea! Or maybe we just aren't in high school anymore? Either way, we (mostly) had a great time, and n…

blaseball is sleepy and so is icb, but don't worry, we'll never stop podcasting. we dont know how! in this episode: we're not doing blaseball this week, ping role, the most sickos shitposters of the taco stand, the definitely real one hundred percent authentic shrek season, the nuances of being fully illegal, a gullible person with a tiny brain, bl…

The siesta is still ongoing, and frankly ICB isn't sure what we have to talk about. Video Game Book Club will continue next week with CrossCode. in this episode: blaseball? ~shoutouts zone~ Blaseball CrossCode Our theme music comes from the wonderful Hokuto. Want to shout about the episode? Join us at the Taco Stand Discord - it's open to everyone,…

The first game in our "Video Game Book Club" is here! We get the crew together to play Rain World: an atmospheric survival exploration platformer, first released in 2017. Is it painfully beautiful, or beautifully painful? Or just pain? We weren't sure, and even after spending an hour and a half talking about it - I don't think anyone's mind is true…

Blaseball is back, but it's Shrek themed again? Didn't we do this already? Can we like, stop doing this? (Actually no, please keep being weird Blaseball, we love you) in this episode: hero characters return, dvd extras, we need to talk about blaseball, shrek histories, the potion wiggler, the big button, the dronkeys, yeet prince charming, shoe thi…

ICB has come down bad with a case of giant robot fever! But honestly, now's a pretty good time to be obsessed with anything besides Blaseball. It all comes down to the question - what are we going to do in yet another siesta? In this episode: Blaseball is gone again, predictions and dates, deeply irresponsible speculation, what are we gonna do, Wil…

you're still here? really? after all this time? what's wrong with you? go home. enjoy blaseball. tell the other podcasts how much better than us they are. we'll still be the longest running blaseball pod whether you listen or not (affectionate [begrudgingly]). in this episode: we don't need blaseball, you merely adopted the siesta, the most icb gue…

we're back, and a shitty wizard has fucked up our nonsense, and now we've got 4 whole solar eclipses to deal with. do we know what this means? no. do we know what to do about it? also no. but we're here to complain anyway. and also beg y'all to take part in ICB 100. please take part in ICB 100. in this episode: newsroom reacts, so we have weather n…

The first off-season of the Coronation Era is behind us, and we find ourselves in a strange limbo. The book: tantalizing, but mostly useless. We've analyzed mysterious press releases before, but not like this! Join us as we get distracted from our reading by talking about the recent tacos lore jams, then get doubly distracted and maybe dip into a f…

we're back! blaseball is back! elections are back! it's back! ahhhhhh!!! in this episode: blaseball's back babyyy, rule 5 violations, bring on the umps, blaseball avatar, knight shifts, escher's western, the shoe thieves heel arc, the return of the old gods, elections, new modifiers, cosplaying binky, bring back peanuts, the monitor is on tiktok no…
