8 guys with 8 very different opinions team up to discuss games in a specific topic - what are the top three games featuring a character with a moustache? What RPGs did we play last month? We also pick one game each month to take a closer look and explore from beginning to end! Come for the bizarre intro theme, stay for the trivia.
We are already half way into spooky season and we've got our first Halloween focused episode here with a special Horror Gaming Tournament! Typically reserved for our March Madness bracket episode, we were feeling extra spooky this year and have put together a full roster of 64 horror gaming things to go head to head. And by 'things' that means it's not just game vs. game - we've got characters, locations, items, songs - a whole bunch of horror related stuff!
If you'd like to follow along head over to Instagram where you can view the bracket (beatofthemonth). And if you'd like to leave us a note about all the stuff we left off the list, send us a note at beatofthemonth@gmail.com. Otherwise if you're all ready to dive in, then grab your Chainsaw Controller, your medicinal green herbs, and your headphones - and join us for this Horror Gaming Tournament!

185: The Beats Take A Big Walk
For this episode of Beat of the Month we've got a deep dive of the latest indie darling, Big Walk! While we usually play single player games for our deep dives, Big Walk required us to play together and test the limits of our friendship. And boy were those limits tested! We played with two separate groups (which has its own backstory...) so we discuss our different experiences with the game, which were quite varied.
We then get into discussions about the characters, the world, the items, and of course - the puzzles! There are a lot of puzzles and everyone had their favorites to mention. If you haven't gone on your big walk yet I recommend taking a break once we get into puzzle descriptions as we do get into spoilers for solutions. Otherwise, grab your walkie-talkie, whatever someone stuck on your backpack, and your headphones, and join us on this deep dive of Big Walk!

184: Sleepy Games
As we state at the start of most episodes, Beat of the Month got its name because we choose a theme for each month and play games on that theme. We also do deep dives on specific games where we all play the same game and talk about it in detail. For these deep dives, we each get to pick whatever game we want and everyone else is forced to play them. That's how we end up with some...let's say interesting games such as Rumble Roses. However for our monthly themes we all vote on them. That would have one expect higher quality choices as a result. Well, most of the time.
For this episode of Beat of the Month we have Sleepy Games. It's September, so an idea of 'Wake me up when September ends' was all I could think of for a September theme. With a whopping two votes, this ended up being our choice for September. So what even is a sleepy game? Could be a game focusing on a main character who sleeps, could be a game that has a day/night cycle, could be a game that's boring and literally puts you to sleep. Riveting stuff.
However, defying all odds we still put together a solid episode! We discuss Super Mario Bros 2, Citizen Sleeper, Hotel Dusk, and Melbro rounds out his year of playing a game for each of the crew members with Catherine. And appropriately we also fit in some Grand Theft Auto 6 discussion as well which is sure to have people zoning out soon. We've also got some dreamy trivia to round things out.
So go ahead and grab your sleeping cap, your sleeping pills, your sleeping mask, and whatever sleeping accessories you can find (along with your headphones of course) and join us, for this episode all about Sleepy Games!
