The FUNCAST!

Elden Ring is here, and we spent an entire episode talking about it! Whoops! Join us for a discussion of our experiences in the first 3-14 hours of this massive, sprawling, multi-layered Dark Souls poison swamp of a video game. Light and mostly non-specific spoilers of *stuff* are in store, but for a major spoiler: Games Good, go play it. Next week should be mostly back to normal, don't worry...

It's finally time to talk about the Soulslike everyone has been waiting for: MORTAL SHELL. That's the one, right? We then pick ourselves a new Gamepass Gameclub game, and get something we are actually excited by! We also dive into the newest TOTAL WAR: WARHAMMER, a game that sure seems like it could be good, but much like an Ogre, it has a lot of layers to grind down first. Lost Ark has bo...

Surprise! It's a Nintendo Direct! And it sure included a whole lot of stuff, which is very good because Kirby has a new mode just for dealing with it. Did we really need this many ports and remasters for Switch? Probably not, but if we end up getting new Advanced Wars and Front Mission games out of it..... We also spend probably too long talking about the new hotness: Lost Ark! Fresh off the e...

Dying Light 2 is here! Pokémon is here! Andrew is here! Everyone is here, except for Stadia! Sony also bought Bungie I guess, but the slow and shambling advance of Stadia into the great Google In The Sky is much funnier to discuss. Andrew fills us in on his Global Game Jam experience, we discuss all there is to see and do in two very large new games, and see if we can construct a bridge into our h...

Dying Light 2 is suspiciously close to release, so we talk about the shambling hordes. How badly do we want to parkour zombie fight for 500 hours? Also in the air is the distinctive smell of a new Path of Exile season, the harbinger of lost time. Microsoft is in the news again across the pond, Unity loves dogfighting, NVIDIA gives up, and NetEase caught themselves a Yakuza. Plus, hear what it'...

We get snowed in this week with the news of Microsoft acquiring Activision Blizzard. Is this good news? What does it mean? Will we eventually have to play Call of Duty campaigns on Gamepass for this podcast? How does an Italian senate meeting fit into all of this? Our discussion of our most recent Gamepass roulette game EMPIRE OF SIN shows us that Microsoft will continue to fill up Gamepass with a...

Another week, another horrifying monster pulled from the deep. Do not be fooled by its soothing voice, it speaks naught but poison and lies.  We've also got some fun robot and movement based game rumours, a surprising amount to say about Pokémon and Dark Cloud, spooky VR travails, and even spookier horde based shooting! Please keep all arms and legs inside the podcast at all times, The FUNCAST...

They just won't stop crawling up from beneath the wormy earth. That's right, Konami has put on a memorial for Castlevania , them immediately got drunk and tipped the casket over. We also hear about what MAGFest is up to this year, the wonders of video game burlesque, and choose a new game club video game. But not before we talk about Crown Trick , the turn based, actually Rogue-like dungeo...

The holiday spirit is upon us this week, as we sit down to discuss the videogames that were. Listen in for discussion of our favourites (and not so favourites), the wonders of dual wielding air friers, and what class Tim should play in FF14 once he is tired of being dead on the floor.

Today! We discuss State of Decay 2, the first of our GamePass game club games, the ongoing greatness and horrors of Final Fantasy 14s latest expansion, and possibly the worst (or maybe best) way to play an old game for the first time.  We also get around some fun EA related technical problems and select the next game for us to play, and dunk on NFTs again, because for some reason the industry hasn...

WE GOT THE GAME AWARDS! But mostly trailers announcing stuff that needed more time in the oven, so it missed E3.  We've also got everyone's favourite type of news: NFT garbage! The future is wonderful, especially when it's just old stuff but done bad and worse. Pull up your gamer chairs, put on your Gunnars, it's Funcast time again!

Welcome (back?) to THE FUNCAST! EA Troubles! Halo Infinite! FINALLY SMT5! And boy, FF14 sure is on fire isn't it. Join us for roundtable discussion, the start of a GamePass Game Club that makes everything itchy tasty, and probably the most easily breakable mouse Razer has ever made.
