Ep. 298 - Oh Anime You Didn't

Hey Geeks, this week we talk about EA blatantly attempting to claim they don't try to get their gamers to pay more in their games. Activision is absorbing another successful development team. After seeing reviews are any of us getting Returnal and will $70 games ever seem worth the extra $10 this generation? Have we been playing newer titles and are we seeing a difference moving to this generation? We talk about Anime recommendations and how some titles completely broke Vargo.

Ep. 297 - Kosplay Kombat

Hey Geeks, this week we talk about Sony backsliding on the PS Store closures. PlayStation already has a Game Pass service they just won't capitalize on it. Destiny 2's transmog is terrible, but is it just a set-up to make Bungie the hero, again? Season of the Chosen was decent, but do we want to continue to buy Season Passes? Former Bend developer had a bad take on why Days Gone didn't get a well deserved sequel but there was a little more to the interview. We also review and talk in detail about Mortal Kombat (2021).

Ep. 296 - Very Vincible

Hey Geeks, this week we talk about more nonsense where studios are turning down good stories. The innocent nature of Anime. PS5 had an update and it didn't activate the one thing gamers really need. PS5's SSD was overhyped ... even by us. We speculate on why won't Sony give NVMe internal expansion to the public? Scalpers continue to make sells numbers look good for companies, but all things worse for us. Days Gone isn't getting a sequel, but it's not because it didn't sell well. Sony is making questionable decisions. We also give our thoughts on the movie "Nobody," some more Anime shows and an update on what we think so far about "Invincible."

Hey Geeks, this week we chat about The Falcon and the Winter Soldier supposedly lost viewers, we talk about why, Marvel pulled distribution through Diamond Comics, more legislation for Lootboxes is coming in Europe, and our thoughts on the Resident Evil 8 demo. We also give more recommendations on some more Anime we've been watching.

Ep. 294 - It Takes Four

This week we talk about game preservation and how services like Game Pass, PlayStation Now, and Nintendo Online can save old games from disappearing forever. Greed has made the AAA gaming industry undependable and Indies are exposing that fact. We talk a little about some Anime we've gotten into and review Godzilla vs Kong as well as It Takes Two.

Also we talk about Activision firing employees go after a recording breaking financial year, Microsoft officially owns Bethesda, our thoughts on Zack Snyder's Justice League, and more.

Ep. 292 - A Cast Called Wanda

Hey Geeks, this week we forgot to talk about Destiny so that'll have to wait. Instead we wasted two hours on Avengers adding more grind, confusing our friends, Static Shock's new virtue signaling origin story, The Elden Ring leak to proved it is indeed a From Software game, Stadia was good at pointing out the problems with game streaming, Diablo 2 Resurrected will allow you to use 20 year old saves, Hogwarts Legacy lost their senior creative, and Geometry(?). We also review Coming 2 America, Wrong Turn, and WandaVision. We also have a spoiler discussion about WandaVision and The Little Things.
