Ep. 84 - Arc Raiders & St. Bernardus Christmas Ale

Sun, 04 Jan 2026 00:00:00 -0600

Welcome back to the mana logs, this is episode 84, and tonight we’re locking into arc raiders, a world where survival is scrappy, hope is scarce, and giant mechanized threats have zero chill. It's tense, atmospheric, and built around team work, strategy, and knowing when to fight, or when to run.

To balance out the high-stakes chaos, we're pouring St. Bernardus Christmas Ale straight out of Belgium so grab a glass, listen for the hum of incoming ARC machines, and lets see how these 2 stack up.

Sun, 21 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0600

This time on The Mana Logs, the show where we crack open a drink, boot up our memory banks on our chosen game, and see how they stack up on our scoreboard. Tonight on episode 83 we're heading to the Arcadia star system with The Outer Worlds 2 –a sequel promising bigger choices, sharper satire, and even more corporate nonsense in the cold vacuum of space. Fueling tonight's journey, we're sipping on Double Gingerbread Cookies from Little House Brewing Co. So pour yourself something festive, lock in your companions, and let's find out if this brew pairs perfectly with obsidian's next trip into beautifully unhinged steampunky sci-fi chaos!

Hello Wanderer! Oh how the summer has been good to us! And not just us, but the entire gaming community!

This time on The Mana Logs, we have a game that definitely landed us on Santa’s naughty list with High on Life from developer and publisher Squanch Games. And there was no one better at being high on life than Fat Elvis, which ironically is the brew we have from our old friends 4 Hands Brewing. And of course it wouldn’t be a special episode without a treat at the end. Hang in there as we circle back to a bourbon barrel aged beer but hopefully this time with a little less punch and with us being a bit more prepared. We bring you Goose Island's Bourbon County Brand Sir Isaac's Stout.

This time on The Mana Logs, we venture into another Great wilderness, but this time it's life or death in a frozen tundra with The Long Dark, from Hinterland Studios. And to help us stay warm in this frost hellscape, we have some delicious stouts. But, these are no ordinary stouts as we bring you what looks like a Girl Scout cookie mix turned into stout beer yumminess with Mint Chocolate Cookie, Toffee Cookie Crunch and Caramel Coconut Cookie Crunch milk stouts, from 4 Hands Brewery.

Ep. 10 - Black Desert Mobile & Cacti Seltzer

Mon, 23 Aug 2021 00:00:00 -0600

This time on The Mana Logs, we are awoken with no memory in a strange land with a black spirit telling us weird things that nobody else can see in the mobile MMORPG Black Desert Mobile, by Pearl Abyss, and we see if a seltzer (not a beer!!!) put out by none other than Travis Scott is more than just marketing hype with Cacti.
