Since Thursday is Thanksgiving (at least in the US) we thought we'd release a day early so you could listen before you start stuffing yourself with turkey. But if that's not your thing, I say put it on when you are eating and expose the extended family to some Byte Me goodness! This week we talked about Switch third-party games, a conspiracy theory about Battlefront 2 and EA, ask for just a little...

Extra Life was this weekend and we played a ton of games...and raised $2,310 for the kids! Cliff got his Xbox One X (and it's pretty cool) but Adam is still waiting for his. GTA 5 has sold a ton of copies, but PUBG isn't doing badly either. The mobile version of FF15 is coming out and we have pricing, we talk about the highlights from Blizzcon, we talk about some sad news in the industry, Take Two...

Paris Games Week kicked off on Monday with the announcement of Spelunky 2 & Guacamelee 2, plus a bunch of AAA, indie and PSVR games.

Lots of news and lots of questions this week! We start off with the sheer number of games being released between now and the end of the year and it's crazy!

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...
