SDGC - Super Deluxe GamesCast

There's only one thing that happened this week and it's potentially the biggest piece of gaming news we'll see all year. Microsoft is in the process of purchasing Activision Blizzard. We talk about what that means for the culture of Activision Blizzard, Bobby Kotick's future employment, the changes to the gaming landscape, and what this could mean for dead and dying Activision Blizzard franchises.

The gang's all here! All 7 SDGC members descend upon tonight's episode to talk about our favorite games of the last year, as well as our runners up.

In part 2 of our discussion on Final Fantasy XIV's latest expansion, John Britt and Jeff talk about what they thought of the dungeons and trials in the game as well as where we might go next in the main story.

We're joined by freelance journalists Kenneth Seward and Grant Stoner to talk about VR gaming and the changing landscape of press events. Also, we rag on NFTs a bit. But just a little bit.

Fanbyte writer Mike Williams, podcast mogul Matt Storm, and writer/host Cam Hawkins all join us as we throw out our wildest and most reasonable 2022 predictions. Hint: There may be some videogames.

In the immediate aftermath of The Game Awards, we bring back friend of the show Sam Tolbert to talk about the best and worst announcements of the show.

John, Britt, and Jeff finally get together to gather their thoughts on the latest expansion to the Critically Acclaimed MMORPG, Final Fantasy XIV - Endwalker. In this first half of the discussion, we talk about some of our favourite narrative beats as well as what we thought of the new zones. Keep an eye out for part 2 where we'll dive further into our thoughts on the new dungeons and trials.

It's been too long but the Dual Daddies are off hiatus and back every week with a brand new episode on SDGC!

Earlier this year, a LARGE list of upcoming games were leaked via a list on NVIDIA's servers. At the time most disregarded it. However, after several releases and announcements Derek, Jeff and John decided it was time to give this list another look!

Wow! 2021 is almost done, and with the end comes The Game Awards 2021. What does the team think/expect will show up? Our pal Matt joins us to answer these questions and more!

Earlier this year, Guardians of the Galaxy was met with mixed impressions upon it's initial reveal. However, we're pleased to report that despite some rote gameplay and middling controls, Guardians of the Galaxy rises above these shortcoming on the strength of it's storytelling, voice acting, characterization, and wide range of accessibility options. Justin, Derek and John are here to tell you all...

NINETEEN YEARS. That's how long it's been since Metroid Fusion. That's how long we've been waiting to see what's next for Samus Aran. Most games would crumble under the weight of those expectations, but Metroid Dread exceeds them. Derek, Justin, Finn and John are here to explain why Metroid Dread is the best 2D Metroid, and a clear frontrunner for GOTY.

On this week's show we discuss the troubled legacy of Koichi Sugiyama, and the relationship between problematic artists and their work.
