The FUNCAST!

It's an anime day! I'd like to give you a real reason, but mostly it's just a coincidence that there is more animated JoJo in the world. And I guess that we also finally did some talking about SCARLET NEXUS, a game that out animes Devil May Cry in its own genre. We even pick a new GamePass GameClub game! Finally! Some talking bout the news, because companies just can't stop buying...

Another whole week off? Sorry about that, but we were busy getting way into this sweet new family and friend support group out in the woods. The leader is this cute little lamb and life is pretty great honestly, just don't ask where the fertilizer goes or what happened to Ol' Hoss yesterday.  Yes, this is a deep dive episode into Cult of the Lamb, since for the first time in ages almost al...

Back from a vacation and feeling all recharged and reinvigorated, the Fungineers return! And we are going to need that energy, cause boy the news this week sure is draining. However! We have lots of actually fun things to talk about, like Cults and JRPGs and Fighting Games, and even some spoooooky romance. Games Discussed: Valorant, Persona 4 Golden, Persona 5, Multiversus, Cult of the Lamb, Live...

Welcome back to delay season once again! Much like game announcement season, it never ends. That Gollum game everyone was totally super hyped for? Delayed. KOTOR Remake? Delayed forever. Not great. But you know what is great? Weird videogame carny rumours in Nier Automata, and Rockstar cleaning up their own internal messes. Also great? Battletech (mostly)! The five minutes we played Multiverses fo...

It's only slightly used and broken, but hey, GameStop had it for a song, so why not pick up a new episode of The Funcast! (seriously though I lost the start of this to audio gremlins, the fumigators should get it sorted out) We've got Marvel SNAPing its way into a bad time, Ubisoft is cancelling and delaying stuff literally no-one knows about, CD Projekt lost a lot of value, and wow that&#...

Somehow, NFTs have returned. We don't know why either, but it's great to have some comedy fall into your lap. Unity *also* continues to shoot itself in both feet repeatedly, which is a really unfun mess to have to deal with. Shame on you, we just got that rug! We got some more Steamdeck impressions, a look at Marvel SNAP!, the return of the Tall Witchy Lady, Kirby gets real hangry, and WoW...

Back together at full strength, and unmatched team of cyber warriors has crossed the barrier between the digital world and reality to do one thing: Talk about really dumb video game news. Thats right, they somehow keep making dumb announcements for stuff in the video game factory, like something called a "Web3 Console" and a "Remake of an old cult favourite game". Such nonsense. We...

A day late and a co-host short, we return! Basking in the radiant energy of a miniature Nintendo Direct and unbound of the shackles of our oppressors, Tim, Daniel, and Dean have a surprising amount of stuff to say about video games and all the weird gross GamersTM out there making lives more difficult for developers for no reason. Its fun! To talk about, not to do.  Games Discussed: Megaman Battle...

We got a weird one! Andrew is driving! The first half of the episode didn't record properly! But we made this anyway, so please enjoy, because there is stuff in here like our GamePass GameClub Game, what we've been playing, and laughing at Activision. All good things! Games Discussed: Two Point Hospital, Neon White, METAL MAX XENO: REBORN, Warframe. Email us at: funcastahoy@gmail.com Tweet...

IT'S BEEN TEN DAYS OF WORLD PREMIERS, so I guess it's about time to talk about them now that it's all calmed down. Sure are a lot of them video games coming, huh? SO MANY in fact, that we just don't have the time (or patience, or ability, or care to be honest) to talk about all of them at once, so we found the ones we care about and brought em to the table. Join us for this feast,...

Back from assignment and operating at full capacity once again, just in time for a whole tidal wave of Not-E3 game news to hit shore. We talk the best summer blockbuster of the past several years, our wishes for the Keigh3 announcements, the growing Vampire Survivors-like genre, Kraken Academy, and pick a new GamePassGameClub game. It's another week of bangers! Fanbyte Article about 1-2 Switch...

Tim and Dean are out on assignment this week, so instead Andrew kidnapped me and interrogated my thoughts about what the games' industry is going to be up to for the next decade. Please send help. Sony presentation link: https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/IR/library/presen/irday/pdf/2022/GNS_E.pdf

Somehow, Morbius has returned... In card form! Darn you Ben Brode! Fighter Jets return to FlightSim, Dittos are hiding in plain sight, Raven Studios QA finally wins a Union, and Fortnite is back and cloudier than ever.  Off brand Dark Souls, puzzle caves, shlooters and VR Spooks abound in yet another wonderful week of videogames. Games Discussed: Fortnite, Marvel Snap, Microsoft Flight Simulator,...

Time to reset the ActivisionBlizzard Oopsie Counter, cause boy they sure know how to shoot themselves in the foot don't they? We also got the traditional Delays Into 2023, free to play game news, and some hot smoke on Silent Hill rumours. Andrew has a lightning round, we sort of played Forza Horizon 5 again, picked a real weird adventure game follow up for the GamePass GameClub, and Daniel get...

Hey! Did ya hear it? The news in the wind? Yes, that's right, it is, in fact, spring time! Which means gardens and terrible gardening apps. Oh, and some video game news, I guess. New York gets in on the Activision lawsuit punching bag, EVE Online memes become reality, and that sure is a Batman. Andrew is back with another round of whatever he is calling his game show this week, and then a reca...

Rejoice! A Gamepass Gameclub episode has arrived! A dark and creepy exterior reveals a soft, warm, comfy interior in The Wild At Heart. Can this 2D Indie Pikmin-alike charm its way into our hearts? But before that, some real wacky and wild news as Square Enix lets its western parts get Embraced AND gets sued by a former contractor! Ubisoft has no idea what its doing again, Blizzard announced a mob...

Dean is out on assignment this week, so the rest of the lads gather for the important task of making sure someone knows all the news thats fit to know! MMOs you forgot about, Diablo Immortal is finally more real ever imagined, and Outriders has an expansion on the way somehow? Andrew brings us a wild new game show, then we get to talking some more bout them video games. Games Discussed Tera, Diabl...

It's Gamepass week, and we got some robits to talk about! Also, a lot of news, because as it turns out stuff keeps happening out there. Crazy! Just like those hopefully new taxis Sega is cooking up. Games Discussed: Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Babylons Fall, Strangers of Paradise: Final Fantasy Orgins, Unsighted, Portal (series), Elder Scrolls Online, FF14, World of Warcraft, Xenoblade Chronicl...

An episode of our videogame podcast devoted entirely to talking about videogames? Say it aint so! Today we've got everybody playing show-and-tell with games from the past couple of weeks. Andrew brings us Tunic, the long under development foxy Zelda that is more than it seems. Daniel is dash-boosting around the battlefield in Gundam EVOLUTION, a mechanized hero shooter, Dean gets creepy with W...

This week, we share our thoughts on Transformers: Battlegrounds, a licensed X-Com-alike that might just be more than meets the eye. Super writer Brandon Sanderson has a pitch for Bandai-Namco, FromSoft has an old game use vanishing-jitsu, Hyper Light brightens the horizon, E3 is dead again, and we go back to Monkey Island.... again! Buckle up buckaroos, it's FUNCAST time.  Games Discussed: Tra...

Welcome to a particularly haunted episode of the show. Andrew's internet exploded part way in, and we had to just deal with contacting him from the great beyond. Sorry about that! It sure didn't stop us from talking about the gaping void left in our hearts from the sudden and shocking disappearance of everyone's favourite videogame: Fast & Furious: Crossroads. Sony also announced t...

Boy, sure was a hot week of news, huh? But before we get into all of that mess, Humans Fall Flat in our Gamepass Gameclub discussion. What is the deal with soft, wiggly, jiggly, floppy, human bodies? And what would it take for one of these physics puzzlers to really grab us in their gooey arms? Learn alongside us that The Witcher will in fact be continuing to get video games, various Nintendo-base...

We did it! Almost all of us finished Elden Ring! It's a big game, and we do spend another very decent chunk of the show talking some more about it. But before that, we got modern PS2 B-Game Strangers of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin to wonder at, a very short State of Play, thinkin' bout them Tokyo Ghostwires, and Tim, oh brave, foolish Tim, took Babylons Fall, so we didn't have to. G...

ELDEN RING IS FINALLY HER-- wait no that was last week, sorry. ELDEN RING IS STILL HERE! Pretty sure its unbeatable, but we sure are trying! Andrew, Daniel, and Dean share thoughts from our continued adventures in the Lands Between. We also discuss our Gamepass Gameclub game: Hellblade - Senua's Sacrifice, a game that holds up surprisingly well despite coming out four hundred years ago. We als...

Just popping in real quick to let y'all know that we are in the middle of scheduling the podcast to go up on Thursdays now, instead of Monday. Hopefully this will let us actually get everyone together, since finding time can be real tough! See you then!
