Epic is getting sued by Carlton and "Backpack Kid", Steam might be making Xbox crossplay easier, we have a name for the next Xbox, Discord is offering devs a pretty good deal, HotS sees some cuts, the COO of Riot Games is getting some unpaid time off and Game Workers Unite is official in the UK!

Dylan is missing, but Cliff and Adam carry on...somehow. We talked VGA winners, a new Doom expansion, Fallout 76 woes, swords causing issues in Fortnite, the beginnings of the Launcher wars and Epic vs. Steam: Part 1.Also, there are so many games coming to Game Pass. It's honestly kinda crazy. The Epic store is also giving away games. Do we even need to buy games any more?

Epic is launching a Steam competitor (and Steam is busy screwing up their own store), Nintendo isn't going to be yelling at streamers as often, there might be a new Far Cry game coming out, Fortnite is getting a creative mode and Bethesda just barely dodged Troll Corner.

We talked about Nintendo getting a cool $12 million from ROM sites, exclusive Arcade1Up cabinets coming to Walmart, new retro games coming to Switch Online and Hans reviewed his new Arcade1Up 12-in-1 (spoilers, we named this episode after it.)We learned the history of how Hans started his own arcade collection (and a bit about how you could start one too) and then talked about arcades vs. home con...

The PlayStation Classic has more issues, RDR2 gets a beta release date (hey, it's now!), Fallout 76 has potential legal issues and a bunch of patches coming, Sea of Thieves got more content, literally everyone is playing Fortnite and Minecraft Story Mode launched on Netflix.

Sorry we are a little bit late, but Happy Thanksgiving!

Byte Me Podcast turns two on November 17th, isn't that cool? To celebrate, we talked about a bunch of Xbox news, including the studios they bought, keyboard and mouse support, 16 new games coming to Game Pass, the first Forza 4 expansion and new Sea of Thieves content. We also talked about the Future of Fallout 76 and the Game Awards!

We talked about our Extra Life weekend (a lot) then did a bunch of Blizzard news, including Ashe in Overwatch, the Warcraft 3 Remaster and Vanilla WoW. Of course, we managed to sneak in some Fortnite and Football too. We talked questions and free games and then threw uppercase G Gamers into Troll Corner again. Really dudes, you need to chill out.

Ummmm...Dylan and Adam talked about stuff...and things?

For our 100th episode we got our patrons and some of our long running listeners to call in and ask us their questions in person (and we also got our boss to come in for a follow up!)Thanks to Jack Irish, Joe Cole, Jacob Frank, Vinny Champa, Alan Schulte, Hans Addleman, Josh Fulkerson, Travis Luken, Kevin Schuld, Vicky Vanhout and, of course, Marc Kaye. Here's to 100 more!

We talked about some of the issues happening with the new Arcade1Up cabinets, Williams tables will be available in PinbalFX3 tomorrow, we don't want a PlayStation Classic but might like an N64 classic and then dive into the history of pinball. We then answered questions from JoeColeslaw, Jacob Frank, Vinny and...JoeColeslaw?

You are going to want to skip the Windows 10 October Update for now, Microsoft might be buying another developer, Guacamelee is out on the Switch and Guacamelee 2 is coming soon, Microsoft announces Project xCloud, Assassin's Creed has some not so great microtransactions and you can now support your local Fortnite creator.

Adam's back (again) and we're talking Disco Domination in Fortnite, Google imaginatively named Project Stream, Overwatch is getting its own Lego sets, Fortnite is getting Funko Pops, could the leaked Harry Potter game be real, Overwatch teases it's Halloween event and the Seattle PD lead the way in combating SWATing.

There are a ton of great games coming out this month, including a game that 2 out of 3 of us are willing to pre-call the GOTY...

UPDATE: We screwed up when I read the Target promotion. It's not 30% off a game if you pre-order, it's pre-order a game, you get 30% off another game. Sorry for the confusion! Want to save some money on this years (and a few of next years) biggest games? Target might have a deal for you! We talk about that, plus the PlayStation Classic announcement, why FF8 isn't showing up on the Switch, the cont...

We chatted about the cluster that Nintendo Online is turning into, Halo Infinite and micro-transactions, Capcom closed Capcom Vancouver and is out $40 million, Ninja is going to be on a magazine, Europe is talking loot box regulation and a ton of Sega games are coming to Switch! We also answer questions from Vinny, JoeColeslaw, Geekopia, Jack Irish, Supe...

We talk Billy Mitchell's quest for redemption, his latest Donkey Kong exploits and his...musical? Plus Pinball FX 3 gets the Bally/Williams rights back, Arcade1Up has a new 12-in-1 cabinet you are going to want to check out, Starflight 3 is crowdfunding on Fig right now and the "merc with a mouth" has a killer new pinball machine! We then take a deep dive into crowdfunded consoles and the risk fol...

Adam is back next week, so everything should start sounding better, but until then, you are left with Cliff and Dylan! We talked about how some Switch games won't have Cloud support, THQ Nordic owns the Kingdoms of Amalur license now but not the publishing rights, the worlds saddest easter egg is in Spider-Man, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw might scratch your Privateer itch, Halo 5 is rumored to be coming t...

First off, Adam is off this week, so please excuse any crappy audio sound and/or editing. And by that I mean the phone ringing (and let's be honest, probably other stuff too.)Cliff and Dylan went to PAX and have a ton of games to talk about, we might start seeing "some" games in the Olympics, the Netflix "The Witcher" series has found their Geralt, 2K is doubling down on microtransactions and CS:G...

September is a bit of a light month for new releases as publishers wait for the bigger release months closer to Christmas, but there are still some great games coming out, especially if you are into sports! Note: Sorry about the Spyro screw up, it’s been pushed to Nov. 13th!

We talked about the Jacksonville shooting, Xbox All Access, how Microsoft is still looking for studios to buy, Streets of Rage 4 was announced (babay!), Amazon released the list of games that will get you $10 if you pre-purchase them, Fallout 76 Power Armor Edition sells out and comics are coming to the Switch! We also answered a TON of questions (some of them about ghosts!)

Dylan succumbed to the smoke and ash that has infected Seattle, so Adam and Cliff had to do the podcast as a duo. RIP Dylan. In a very poorly announced news section, they talked about PUBG leaving early access, Twitch Prime making some (not great) changes, Steam is launching at Twitch competitor, nVidea announced a new line of (very expensive) video cards and Saints Row 3 is coming out...again. Th...
