On this week's episode of the 4205 Cast, things take a turn for the worse for No Man's Sky as the news of heavy returns further darkens the already black cloud around the game. Buyer's remorse strikes the gaming world hard, as we recount some of our more questionable (non-refunded) decisions. Also, several items surrounding the recent Nintendo Direct. Take a listen!

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has created a bit of an actual division in mankind--between those who can accept a good game for what it is, and those who can't ignore cashgrab microtransactions. Take a listen to the Cast's take on publishers' current method of extracting more cash out of their consumers

Big name release No Man's Sky hops to the forefront this week, as the discussion turns toward titles that received more than their fair share of pre-release (over)hype. This time, as we're sure most would agree, it has not worked out well for this specific title, but how often has it worked for other titles? Take a listen and find out!

Happy birthday to Samus Aran, the ass-kickingest bounty hunter that ever hunted a bounty! On this episode, we run through the Metroid series talking about the highs and lows of Nintendo's oft-neglected third pillar.

What a wonderful world we live in, of pirates and hackers, where you can get one company's games from an old system working on another company's newer system! On this week's episode, the 3DS and Vita get hacked, Tokyo RPG Factory posts a loss, (another) I Am Setsuna wrapup, Nintendo Power finding its way onto archive.org, and the aforementioned hacks and emulation which the hacks are generally use...

You know what? We were a storm of negativity in the last episode, so we fixed that right up by discussing the opposite topic this week--low expectations that ended up over delivering. Also included for your listening pleasure, the I Am Setsuna wrapup and some juicy, juicy Nintendo NX rumors.

You never know what to expect when you pick up that new game. You don't know who's going to go far in the tourney. A few things this week had us wondering if we thought we knew what we were doing. Hell, the plans even changed mid-episode! Join us as we manage our expectations about I Am Setsuna., Street Fighter 5, and the Evolution 2016 Championships

Has the world gone nuts, or were we just flat out wrong about the Pokemon GO sensation in our brief mention last week? Also, new a Overwatch hero, two followup stories to our main topic of last week. GO listen!

On the landmark 25th episode of the cast we discuss a couple games with "GO" in the title. Newly released Pokemon GO has been taking over media attention, and we give it a quick rundown. We then go along to discuss the recent scandal involving Counter Strike: Global Offensive, and the grey market of reselling virtual items.

With half the year behind us, we go over some of the notable news and releases of 2016 so far. What events did we think shaped the year to date, and what games are pacing the field in the race of being 2016 Game of the Year? Take a listen and find out!

4205 Episode Plot Synopsis: Joe wants to do a cold open, and actually mention the word "cold" in it. Andre is annoyed that it made it to cut, while Theo plans how to further integrate weird music into episodes. (E3 happened. No real news. We chat about Overwatch, Steam's sale, and the N64 and Sonic anniversaries)

Also, a bit of a close on our Overwatch discussion from last week.

Overwatch has taken the gaming world by storm, so obviously the 4205 Cast has got you covered! Tune in for our impressions, thoughts, and what the game needs to do to retain it's fat 7 million user base. Apologies for the sub-standard audio quality. Two out of the three recording channels were corrupted, and we were only able to salvage Theo's mic.

Leaks, Drakes, Boktai's, oh my! This week we're a crew without a captain. As Dre sets off to the Orange State for much needed R&R, we stay behind and talk about the newly released Overwatch, the reception its received and what value means to you in video games. Also, we throw a house party... Weekend at Bernie's style!

The Fraternity of Kappa Kappa Kappa has taken over the gaming world. Twitch is essentially inseparable from any current gaming talk, so the Cast now examines another angle of passive entertainment from gaming: Twitch.tv
