Bounty Board

Happy Friday! Everyone has seen the comment on Twitter, “Keep politics out of games.” But what does that even mean, really? What qualifies as “politics”? It is a question with nearly as many answers as their are days in a month, but nevertheless the crew sits down to talk through politics in games. Sometimes we think it is needed, sometimes it’s unnecessary, sometimes it’s done really poorly. Rega...

Happy Friday! This week the Bounty Board crew can finally dish about PlayStation. And it’s…interesting. The PS5 showcase happened, and showed genuinely interesting things, but at the end of the day the take away from the crew was that the PS5 can wait for us. Everything we really want to play comes out in 2021 or releases on PS4. This month’s Ubisoft Forward showed us more as well this week. Givin...

Hey folks! Happy Friday! This week the crew sits down to discuss the negativity they see all over the gaming community. From shitposts to comment threads, the gaming community is littered with loud, angry, often times ignorant people spewing nonsense about games they don’t like. Why don’t they just keep their opinions to themselves? What is it about online comment threads that makes so many people...

Hey folks! Happy Monday! With the news of Halo’s delay the Bounty Board crew sit down to ask themselves the question: should these next gen consoles wait a little bit to release? It’s hard to see a specific reason to pick up the new consoles initially sure, but upon research the guys also realize that most consoles don’t launch with GREAT games. Join us as we discuss whether or not the presence of...
