We are firmly on the Borderlands 3 bandwagon, talking release dates, new vault hunters, at least a billion different guns, which edition to buy (including one perfect for Adam) and whether the game will feature cross platform co-op. On top of all that, Borderlands, The Handsome Collection and Borderlands 2 VR are also all getting free updates! There was, of course, some non-Borderlands 3 news too....

Buckle up folks, it's a long one! There are a ton of new games coming out for nearly every platform and I think they all got announced or got a release date this week! SteamWorld Quest, nine new PSVR games, Wolfenstein: Youngblood and eight new ID@Xbox games coming to Game Pass! EA laid off nearly 4% of their workforce (mainly folks in marketing, publishing and operations) and we want to wish them...

We talk at length about Google Stadia, the new streaming platform that Google announced at GDC. We also talked about Lucasarts coming back (and then found out after the fact that it's probably not true, whoops!) Nintendo is releasing a TON of games on the Switch including a surprise Zelda game and Oculus revealed the Rift S.We answered a bunch of great questions (some about video games, some not)...

Hans got to play the new Sterns Munsters Pinball, the Playstation Classic has been hovering around $40 for a while now (and might be worth that?), a guy found a NES Championship cart worth $15-20k in his attic, a very specific Super Mario Bros cartridge sold for $100k, new games are available on the Switch if you subscribe to Switch Online and Sega is asking for recommendations on games for the ne...

It's another great week in podcastland! We talk about a fun writer reveal for Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, Days Gone effectively has two full length movies stuffed inside of it, the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition might actually be a thing, Friday the 13th: The Game: The Switch Edition: Plus DLC is a thing (although we still aren't sure how), if you aren't playing Apex Legends or Fortnite what are...

It seems like it's been forever since the entire Byte Me Podcast team has all been in the same room together and so we let this one take as long as it needed to! We talked about the Pokemon Sword and Shield announcement, the new Detective Pikachu trailer, Dead Cells is getting free DLC this year, Kingdom Hearts is getting a board game, Anthem has a pretty solid 90 day plan, Reggie Fils-Aime is ret...

Cliff was out having fun in the Florida sun in WDW and forgot to post this episode in the timely manner to which you have become accustomed. Please forgive him. :)Dylan and Adam held down the fort in Seattle, talking about free copies of AC: Odyssey showing up in Uplay for people who played it via Google Stream, Crackdown 3 isn't quite living up to people's expectations, the Anthem Day One patch i...

Sadly we were without Adam again this week (but he should be back next week, just in time for Cliff to leave.) On the plus side, Cliff played enough games last week to make up for Dylan and Adam. There was a TON of news to talk about this week. Just before we started recording, Activision-Blizzard announced they were laying off roughly 8% of their workforce, or 775 employees. Apex Legends his the...

Dylan and Cliff did their first remote podcast, recorded from the comfort of their respective houses! This week, we talked about Apex Legends, the new game from Respawn Entertainment, the developers of Titanfall. The good news is it's apparently a very solid squad based battle royale game set in the Titanfall universe. The bad news is that nobody is working on Titanfall 3. We also talked about how...

Full disclosure, this is actually episode 5, but we screwed up the numbering. So just pretend that episode 5 is some sort of missing episode, lost to the sands of time! Hans, Cliff and Dylan get nostalgic for Disney in this months episode! But first, we talked about all the new Arcade1Up cabinets debuting at CES and the new Munsters pinball. We then took a deep dive, starting with Tron in the arca...

Adam is sick today, so it was just Cliff and Dylan holding down the fort for Episode 114. Cliff was also sick, but not as sick as Adam, so please excuse any sniffling and coughing. :)In our now playing section, Dylan told us all about a new board game he's been playing called Gloomhaven (https://amzn.to/2UtnuOO). Cliff is still busing playing Hellblade for Byte Me DLC Plays (http://bit.ly/2Wvpece)...

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? --- Send in a voice mess...
