Epic giveth and Epic taketh away. Cross Play that is, which was live briefly over the weekend in Epic's game Fortnite. Apparently, it's easy enough to enable that they did it "on accident". Trust me, we talk about it. Angrily. We also dive into last week's Nintendo Direct, Sony's presentation at TGS and talk about Jump, which wants to become the Netflix of indie games. We also answer questions fro...

So, maybe you hadn't heard, but Destiny 2 came out. And we like it, we like it a lot. Also, apparently some people are mad about shaders. We think they are kinda dumb. Also, Bethesda's Creation Club launched and it's having some problems, Cliff's living in a strange FFVII paradox, PUBG has fog now and nobody is shocked but PewDiePie is kind of a racist. We also answer some questions and talk cheap...

Dylan and Adam are out of town this week, so Cliff called on one of his oldest internet friends to fill in! Not only did we talk about the amazing arcade that Hans has in his basement (and trust me, it's amazing) we also talked about how you can start your own collection. Plus, mouse and keyboard support on the Xbox One, Nintendo is killing Miiverse and it's breaking games, the HTC Vive is getting...

It was an early morning recording session this week (and Cliff and Adam aren't exactly morning people.) We made it through with some coffee, muffins and peanut M&M's! This week we talked about all of the changes coming to Overwatch's new season, the redesign of Mercy, the new Mei animated short and deathmatch going live! In non-Overwatch news, we talked about the price drop on two different VR sys...

Did you pre-order your Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition yet? It's possible that somebody did...during our podcast. Tons of Xbox news this week out of Gamescom, including the pre-order announcement for the One X, some new Xbox games and lots of 4K news, plus Gamescom announcements for FF15, Destiny 2, a new game called Fe and a new Sims 4 expansion. Overwatch is getting a reporting system, new ma...

We hatch a plan for unlimited XP boost in Destiny 2 via cases of Pop Tarts, talk about killing folks deathmatch style in Overwatch, Adam's favorite Zelda-like is rumored to be getting a current gen release date, Adam and Cliff pretend they have the slightest idea what is going on in WWE 2K18 and Cliff tells you why you should buy Undertale for your Vita (or PS4).We also answer questions from Vinny...

So apparently the Psychic Network is Suing Rockstar over a character in Vice City. You would have thought someone would have seen that coming. We talk about that, how the Xbox is finally getting Spotify, all the amazing games coming out in August, the news that Shadow of War is getting micro-transactions and about how PUBG is taking over the world. We also share some thoughts on DOTA 2 because we'...

There are only three months until Extra Life and we'd love it if you'd join our team! We chat about it on the podcast, but you can get more info here: https://goo.gl/e7GLGHWe also talk about how Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is dumb, decide whether or not we need the new Nintendo 2DS, talk about the DOTA Internationals and how they are making DOTA easier for new comers, when and if you are going to...

It was a bit of a slow news week, but we still found lots to talk about! Epic's game Fortnite is out and they are doing something different with pricing, essentially charging people to beta test a free to play game. We give out thoughts on that development and talk about crowdfunding in general. It probably should have gone in Troll Corner, but we went over Walmart's "accidental" SNES Classic pres...

Adam and Cliff both played What Remains of Edith Finch (and loved it!) Listen to our thoughts on the game. We also talked about Somerville, gave our first impressions of the Destiny 2 beta and decided that nobody wants the new Ataribox. The new Switch Online App is out, but you can't use it until July 21st, Titanfall 2 gets a new free co-op horde mode just prior to landing on EA Access and Kingdom...

What Remains of Edith Finch is a narrative adventure game (read: walking simulator) that was released earlier this year on the PS4 and PC to high acclaim (it currently has an 88 on Metacritic, making it the 4th highest rated PS4 game of 2017.) It releases today on the Xbox and to celebrate its launch, Adam had the pleasure of talking with Ian Dallas. Ian is the Creative Director at Giant Sparrow,...

Adam couldn't make it this week, but did add a bit of his own brand of flavor to our intro! Dylan and Cliff talked Doomfist's addition to Overwatch, PS4 games coming to PS Now, Halo 5's upcoming 4k update along with four older Halo games coming to BC, the new Hearthstone: Knights of the Frozen Throne update, WWE 2K18 getting a Switch release date, our thoughts on the Castlevania show on Netflix, S...

Adam and Cliff are out of town this week, so we pre-recorded a pretty much all Q&A episode that we think you are going to love! Lots of great questions generated a lot of really fun discussion!

I'm not sure if anyone is surprised, but everyone should be excited that there is a SNES Classic in the works! We go over the games, prices and release date and talk about how crazy it is that one of the games is the until now unreleased Starfox 2! We also talk about how stupid exclusive content is in the first Destiny, how Hunt: Showdown might have been the sleeper hit of E3, how you can get a Ro...

Friday the 13th had a rocky start, but they are making it up to their fans with tons of free stuff! We also talk about how Nintendo will help you find your lost JoyCons with their latest update, about how game development is hard, how a lot of people are really mad at Rockstar and GeForce Now is surprisingly awesome! We also answered questions from Vinny, Kevin and Ricky, talked about some cheap g...

E3 was absolutely amazing this year and we gathered everything you need to know into one handy podcast. We give the lowdown on almost 70 of the hottest video games you are going to be playing for the next two years! Plus, our thoughts on the new Xbox One X and more!

Happy Birthday to Adam! Besides the birthday festivities, we talked a ton about Destiny 2, including release dates for PC and consoles, the dates for the open and closed betas and what is going to be a PS4 exclusive and for how long. We also talked about the sequel to Alto's Adventure, titled Alto's Odyssey and where it's going to be set and talked about how fan-favorite Undertale is coming to PS4...

Nintendo released what appears to be the voice chat solution for the Nintendo Switch and it's... not great. On the other hand, their new online service (coming out in 2018) sounds promising. It also looks like we are going to be seeing some new Pokemon games, although not exactly what you might expect. We also give our E3 predictions, along with the complete schedule. There are tons of free games...

The Netflix of video games is here with the launch of Xbox Game Pass and it's pretty great! We also talked about the controversial new trailer for Far Cry 5, the end of the PlayStation 3 era and the good and bad of Friday the 13th. We also answered some listener questions, talked cheap games and complained just a bit about Nintendo.

We are all really excited about Destiny 2! Find out everything we learned about from the reveal last week and also find out what system we think you should buy it on. We also talk about the Overwatch Anniversary event, how Mario Kart 8 had to be patched to remove something offensive and Far Cry 5 is set in...Montana? We also answer Vinny's question of the week, talk cheap games and Cliff gives his...

Hey, we managed to make it for a full half year! Thanks to everyone that turns in every week to listen, we love to hear about how much you love the show and it's awesome to chat with you on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube! This week none of us played a ton of games (but the ones we did play were awesome!) We did answer a bunch of listener questions, talked about Minecraft for Switch, had a rousing d...

One thing you may not know is that Adam knows people. And one of the people that Adam knows is Tasia Valenza, the voice of Poison Ivy in the Batman Arkham and the Injustice games (in addition to dozens of other characters and roles). With Injustice 2 launching yesterday, we thought it was a great time to sit down and talk with Tasia about how she got into the industry and what it's like to voice o...

Our podcast is now getting a break on its insurance and can rent a car! This episode, Adam gives us his final thoughts on Little Nightmares and Dylan played a lot of WWE and match three games, while Cliff went mostly retro. We also talked about Overwatch loot box probabilities, how you can save your credit card on the Nintendo eShop and new Rocket League updates. We talk about what we want to see...

We should have waited until this week to talk about Star Wars Battlefront 2 so we could make May the 4th jokes...but we didn't. Instead, we talked about how many Switches Nintendo has sold (and how they've managed to sell slightly more copies of Breath of the Wild), how BotW is getting it's first DLC this summer, Call Of Duty: WW2 sounds pretty good, Playerunknown's Battlegrounds has a silly name...

Adam is on a cruise this week, so Dylan and Cliff did the show as a duo (and it went ok, we think?) The two of us talked Mario Cart on the Switch, about how awesome Star Wars Battlefront 2 looks, more on the trials and tribulations of the online gaming scene, where you might be able to get a Switch next week and the future of Overwatch maps. We also answered questions from Vinnie and other listene...
