Sweaty Plebs

We it did kids, Aidan has finally purchased Destiny 2 content. The biggest news this week Xbox, Nintendo, and Sony won't be part of E3 this year. We are sure they will have some sort of digital showcase.

After hearing about the layoffs at Microsoft and the worries associated with it, the Xbox Developer Direct was, for the most part, good. Not just with what was showcased but even the format in it was delivered. The big winner that came out of the direct was the shadow drop of Hi-Fi Rush. Our very own Aidan has some initial impressions of it. 

This episode we spend a lot of time catching up on what we have been  playing. We did a poor job at keeping up with any actual gaming news but  we did touch on the Microsoft layoffs.

Welcome to the 2022 Game of the Year episode. We have some obvious picks  if you have been viewing our content. We did include some honorable  mentions and some indie recommendations.

Sorry again for the inconsistent releases. The holidays has kept us busy and making scheduling chaotic. Valheim had a major update with its new Mistlands biome, a quick Darktide impressions, return to an old classic tower defense game Bloons 6. Destiny 2 Dawning event is live and for the most part has has been enjoyable for seasonal LTM. Riot games is on GamePass now and you will get access to pre...

Xbox Keystone project was cancelled due to it being too expensive for consumers. We give more God of War Ragnarok impressions, along with DMZ very brief initial take. Risk of Rain has joined Gearbox and due to Saints Row meh release Volition is moving over to Gearbox.

God of War Ragnarok released and we dive into very mini spoiler free impressions. Halo Infinite had a major update and it looks like it's finally going in the right direction. Modern Warfare 2 is going to start its 1st season and we talk about some parts of it.

FYI, this will have Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Spoilers. Release of  the episode is late, so if you're a gamer not too spoily.

Life has been busy for the crew and sorry for the late recordings and  delayed postings. We discussed some impressions about Grounded, Destiny  2, Rumbleverse, Brotato, and ZERO Sievert. God of War Ragnarok has gone  gold!!! Burnt news Bayonetta 1&2 voice actor Hellena Taylor was  offered shit money to reprise her role for Bayonetta 3. We will most  likely not be playi...

Google is shutting down Stadia, which really isn't that surprising. What is surprising is how gracious the refund policy will be for  past purchases. In other news, most of us are back on that Destiny 2 grind. fuck us!

Sorry about the late episode release. All COD today kids, overall we are  happy about it. It for sure needs some polishing but we are ready for  the camo grind.

Lots going on Ubisoft announced a bunch of stuff. Half we don't care  about and the other half maybe become good but still sus. 343 Industries  announced Halo Infinite roadmap and what a total shit show. At least,  Gunfire Reborn DLC is fun.

New week, same plebs. We tried editing the audio differently and it just didn't turn out quite right. So much apologies with that. We dived into a new indie roguelite game Ember Knights. Lot's of games released on Xbox Game Pass. Ghost Recon Wildlands being one of them and gotta say it is a pretty fun co op sandbox. Biggest news this week was PS5 price increase and the PS5 Dualsense Edge controlle...

Apex Legends Season 14 dropped and as we do with every season we dive into the meta changes. At the moment we are vibing with them. Cult of Lamb also released and its a fun romp that all 3 of us give a thumbs up.

We discuss our impressions of Necesse, Archvale, Power Washer, Garden Story, and The Cycle. Xbox, PS5, and Switch is going to have some positive upcoming updates and one of the 3 is still struggle busing to keep up with modern standards. KOTOR Remake maybe indefinitely delayed, it seems up in the air at the moment. Hopefully, it will be sorted out but we are concerned. Lastly, Let's pray Aidan can...

Welcome back, this week Aidan give us a quick impression of Stray. Mojang says no to NFT's and Discord chat is coming to Xbox and is currently being tested within the Insiders program. Forspoken Delayed from Oct to Jan, Monster Hunter Paradise reportedly In development For PlayStation and Xbox.

Congrats to Dark Zero for winning the Apex Legends Global Series Championships. Bungie and Haven Studios are officially part of the Sony PlayStation family. We hope they can make some amazing games. It seems that the final documentations have been submitted for the Microsoft and Activision Blizzard acquisition. The government has 30ish days to request further documents or they will have to approve...

Easy peasy episode this week, most important thing to know this week is that God of War Ragnarok got a release date. Get hyped!

We took a month off for various life reasons. We discuss the Starfield gameplay trailer and some minor things during the Xbox Showcase. We go over all the different games we've been playing during that time. Halo Infinite is getting a Co-op Beta test soon. Blizzard Entertainment is set to acquire Proletariat, the studio behind the fantasy battle royale Spellbreak. In more Blizzard news, Overwatch...

Howdy all, We are trying a new recording and editing software thingy and the audio is not up to snuff. Many apologies for that and thank you for dealing with it. Raven Software QA union is a go and Phil Spencer said “We absolutely support employees’ right to organize and form unions.” Sony PC games are doing very well based on a earnings call. Sniper Elite 5 is out day 1 on GamePass and you should...

Firstly, Halo TV show is an objectively bad Halo show and an acceptable  ish sci-fi show if you remove the Halo IP from it. Playstation + showed  off its list of games and it is a good start. EA dropped the FIFA  relationship after 30 years mostly due to money reasons.

We are back from a one week break to do things away from home. We discuss the start of Apex Legends season 13, Rogue Legacy 2, and a couple of other indie titles. Dylan got a Steam deck and has some very very initial impressions. Square Enix decided to sell off a bunch of IPs to help fuel its foray into NFTs.

One of us got a Steam deck and has mildly been using it. Couple of the boys have returned to Fortnite after a couple years away and was very late to recording this episode due to it. New early access Indie FPS Roguelite to put on your radar is Mythforce (think if He-man 80's cartoon). It is currently an Epic exclusive but it has lots of potential.

343 put out the roadmap for Halo Infinite and we are not happy with it, they are not happy with it, but it is what it is. Activision Blizzard stockholders approve proposed Microsoft transaction, the deal is still subject to regulatory review. It should all be said and done before July 2023. Ubisoft shutdown a bunch of online services for mostly 360/ps3/Wii/U era games. To be honest, we were surpri...

Elden Ring update, it's still good game. As for news, Certain Affinity was tapped by 343 to be more involved with content development for Halo Infinite. What does that mean? likely more maps but also a rumored major game mode (BR). They need all the help they can get but in good Halo news. MCC pushed a major update that add Flood Firefight. Vicarious Visions has officially been absorbed by Blizzar...
