3-Bit Gamer Show

Microsoft is making some more XBox name changes and they predictably make no sense. Microsoft is in talks to buy Discord, Amazon Game Studios triples down, rumored Switch features, Stop Watch 2021, and Razer purposefully delays irl Waterworld. We talk about how to take care of yourself as a gamer, give an update to the Chicken Wars, and run through the 2021 video game hall of fame nominees.

Bomberman R Online gets a little life, fan fixes GTA Online and gets paid for it, and EA is on Game Pass but also they suck. Activision sucks, too. JD freaks out about Age of Empires 4 and brings us along with the freakout. We talk about the best childhood gaming afternoons, what we like and don't like about crafting and Peterson picks his Dice of Destiny game.

JD is getting fat on cookies, we have a new TMNT game coming out, Bethesda and Game Pass, FIFA Ultimate Team controversy, EA College Football, and JD goes full GAnon with Age of Empires. We review a couple of board games - Quacks of Quedlinburg and Nusfjord, then we play Foodio Games with St. Patrick's Day food. JD has us mash game studios together and Aaron reviews his Dice of Destiny game.

We start of with some news: Germany restricts loot boxes, Valheim sales, Diablo 2, Apex Legends, and some Hogwarts Legacy drama. Since we're fully addicted to Valheim we talk about the Good, Bad, and Ugly of getting hooked on a game. JD reviews The Stick of Truth and Aaron calls in to pick his Dice of Destiny Game.

It's (not) Leap Day!! Join us as we talk about Pokemon News, Dragon Age, RIP Anthem, Doom Girl, The Sinking City, and more. The chicken wars are upon us, so enlist now! Then we review Spiritfarer, Destroy All Humans, Red Dead Online, and Injustice 2. JD asks us some very Leap Year oriented questions and Peterson finally reviews his Dice of Destiny game.

We breakdown the lack of news from Blizzconline, Apple goes for Valve?, Dinosaur Planet released (finally!!), Stadia leadership sucks, 2060s, Nintendo Direct, Live Twisted Metal series and more. We give a first impression rose to Valheim and we talk about what makes a good 2:30 am game. Peterson takes a mulligan.

It's been a while since we did a 4-Bit so we decided to try it. We have tons of news - a Fallujah game we didn't want, cyberpunking Cyberpunk, Anthem, video card draught, Ubisoft moving from AAA, more allegations towards Riot, and Valheim. Dani reviews Phasmophobia, Trent gives a first impression rose and then we talk about the games we've wanted to play but never have (and likely never will). Als...

Episode 200!! We start with some news about Terraria v Stadia, Ori director taking shots, and how 2021 will be a lost year for gaming. JD also does a long rant about Amazon Game Studios. We get a listener email and then we play a History of 3BG Reindeer game. Peterson reviews Kingdoms Reborn.

This week is full of little Easter eggs, but we start with the News about the EU and Joycon drift, some TTP stuff, a Bond game, Riot doing Riot things, and Google shutting down a studio nobody knew existed. We review Tarkov, Conqueror's Blade, Everspace 2, and Fenyx Rising. Then we talk about how we personally "test" games. Peterson picks his Dice game - Kingdoms Reborn.

Jenna joins us again this week while we talk Gabe Newell, XBox Gold price flip flop, Blizzard is a husk, Gamestop stock, and KOTOR rumors. Then JD and Jenna talk about playing co-op Children of Morta, we review Cover Your Kingdom, and Peterson reviews The Forest.

The results are in! We've calculated the Blurstie results and we're here to break down the winners (losers?). Plus, we pitch some video game adaptations of books and some new Star Wars games/studios now that Disney has opened it up. Peterson picks his Dice of Destiny game.

Looking back and looking forward - we discuss our gaming highlights of 2020 and then make some predictions for what 2021 might have in store for us. Trent reviews his Dice of Destiny pick and we talk loads of news.

It's the second Blursties episode we nominate finalists for: Most Overrated, Least Favorite Character, Worst Sequel, Worst Name, and Worst Decision. Also, for kudos (poodos) JD tells a hilarious tale of selling stuff online.

It's the most Blurstiful time of the year! In part 1 of the two-part Blursties nominations episodes we nominate for these five categories: Biggest Disappointment, Worst Writing, Worst Launch, Worst Gamer Rage, and Worst Studio. Also, we stay on-theme with an anti-kudos.

So much Cyberpunk news and none of it good. Missing Simpson's Game found, Devotion gets banned cause of the Pooh Bear, Riot MMO, & Fortnite Among Us. Then we review Axiom Verge and For the Warp. The most exciting First Impression Rose in 3-Bit history. Also, Peterson's secret Christmas bumper.

JD really tries (but fails) to impersonate Santa, Cyberpunk seizures, Stop Watch 2020, and we breakdown our favorites from The Game Awards. Then we play the wrong Reindeer Game and Trent finally reviews Enter the Gungeon and we end up with a glorious reroll.

Console wars and shortages, shipping a brick, we get nerdy with some gaming stats, and the Chinese 3090 job of 2020. Dani tells all about her new game Yuligans - check it out, it's so Christmassy and awesome. Then we talk about what we don't love (and love also) about indie games and tell some sweet holiday gaming memories. The Russians take over the podcast for a minute.

This week JD and Peterson talk about games as a service, PS5 scalping, Square Enix, and the Game Awards. JD reviews Children of Morta and Peterson reviews 3 different board games.

It's that time of year - Thanksgimme!! Time to be selfish and make demands for things you deserve and are entitled to...right? We do some news and then talk about what gamers are entitled to in 2020. Then we make some demands of the game devs listening and play Foodio Games with Thanksgimme pie. "Trent" picks his Dice of Destiny game.

We find JD's pseudonym in the news segment, play a Reindeer Game about bringing dead franchises back, give some suggestions on a new Simpson's game and Trent reviews Wizard of Legend. Don't miss this one.

Amazing news from the video game world this week - Playstation, Gamestop, Call of Duty, Activision, and Square Enix. We get a call slandering Peterson, we name some IPs we want bad studios to stay away from, and talk the Good, Bad, and Ugly of grinding video games.

We have politics on our minds, but don't worry. It's only pretend video game politics. We even have a town hall meeting and smear ads for each other. We also review Shadow of War and Hades. Trent picks his Dice of Destiny game.

It's another Listener Question Episode and you guys had some good ones for us this time. We talk some news and JD reviews Streets of Rage 4.

We start off with the Pentagon of Shame - Riot, Microsoft, Call of Duty, Facebook, and 2K. Then we end with a good news story with Stardew Valley. We play a Halloween version of Foodio Games and then we give our annual bad costume ideas. JD almost reviews the Dice of Destiny game.

JD writes an intro in his sleep. We talk about the PS5 breakdown video, petting dogs, Avenger's no longer assembled, Crucible is cancelled, and Larian is disappointed in us. We pepper Aaron with questions about Star Wars: Squadrons, and then we discuss game release announcements. JD picks his Dice of Destiny game.
