Three Dads and a Console

Gamestop is closing 470 locations in 2026 after closing 590 stores in 2024. It seems that the once game store giant is on hearing its death bells so we want to send it off the only way we can: with some fun memories.  Also Fallout Season 2 has been really good so far, let's talk about what we've enjoyed so far. 

Dummies are falling for another "infinite money glitch" because people on the internet are incredibly stupid.  Pez has been playing Megabonk which is so much fun and Court tells us about his experiences with Meta Quest 3 S! 

The game awards STINK

Stranger Things Season 5 is finally here and Pezzy has watched the first drop. Get his thoughts on the newest season. Court has played AC Mirage's new DLC and has some big thoughts on it. 

Arc Raiders is MASSIVE among the internet right now, what does our Pezzy Boi think of it? Court has finished Call of Duty Black Ops 7's campaign and.... Plus Black Friday is coming, what are you buying? 

There are a ton of games out, but we're also thinking about attempting the backlog? The portal now has cloud gaming and it could be a game changer in the handheld space, also Switch 2 sales are blowing up! 

 Valve killed off the CS2 skins market and people have, literally, lost everything. Xbox's newest handheld is crazy expensive and there are talks that their next console will be a PC hybrid. Pez has played a few indie games and they're delightful. 

 Ghost of Yotei is here and it ABSOLUTELY RIPS! Court has some impressions for you all. Microsoft has made more changes to Game Pass that makes their price increase even WORSE! We've went hands on with Outright Games' new Bratz game. 

Xbox stupidly increased their pricing. EA has been sold to the Saudis and Jared Kushner for a ton of money and is going private.  Is that good? Is that bad? 

 Sony's State of Play dropped today and we're HYPED on Wolverine! Pez has had a lot of time with Borderlands 4 and has some thoughts about it. 

It's a grab bag baby let's freaking go 

 Death Stranding 2 is here! Nintendo Direct is coming on September 12 and the rest of the boys have been playing NHL 26. 

It's late, blame Pez!

Gamescom is live and there were some huge announcements! We're going to talk about the ones that really excited us.  NHL 26 dropped some juicy Be a Pro news and we're here to talk about it!  And more! 

Apparently it is EA night here on Three Dads! Pez has spent some time in the war and on the gridiron with Battlefield 6's open beta and Madden 26.  Court met with the dev team for NHL 26 and has some insight for the game, plus a new deep dive dropped today.  Lastly, Vice has dropped a pretty good article on Gen Z buying less and less games. Does this signal a problem for the gaming industry? 

EA has dropped NHL 26's cover athlete, cover, information about the game and a reveal trailer. Two of the biggest puck heads in the business talk about expectations for EA's hockey game.  Battlefield 6 is making PC turn on secure boot through their bios, which could potentially cause a lot of problems with less experienced PC savants.  Wabba finally played Expedition 33. FINALLY. 

Your favorites are back! 

Joined by Matt Sowinski of Console Creatures, we talk about his time with Death stranding 2: Electric Boogaloo and how PS+ just keeps cooking

Seriously...

 Court has a Nintendo Switch 2 in his hands and he spent the weekend playing Mario Kart World. We're going to get his takes on the new console and more importantly, what his daughter thought.  It was a massive weekend for "Not E3" with Summer Games Fest, Xbox Showcase, Southeast Asian Games Showcase and more! The Dads talk about what they're excited for.  (It's also Pez&ap...

The Division 2 has released new paid DLC titled "The Battle For Brooklyn". Court has played it, what are his thoughts?  Wabba and Pezzy had a dual stream as they tried to court the men and ladies of "Pick Me, Pick Me". Now that they've gotten their hands on the game, what do they think of it?  EA is cleaning house and Black Panther's game was chopped. That wasn't...

Ubisoft announced that their "biggest productions" will be delayed into 2026 and 2027. Xbox just dropped some retro arcade classics to Gamepass and we're pretty excited about it. Swapmeat is doing their playtest and Pez got his hands all over it. 

PAX East 2025 is in the books and we got our hands on some excellent games. Pezzy and Wabba share everything about their experiences at PAX East and each of them pick their favorite games of the show! 

We got an advanced copy of Toge Production's newest game "Compensation Not Guaranteed"! What did Wabba think about this story-rich document-checking thriller where you act as a government official of a post-colonial Southeast Asian nation?  Also we've been booking games for PAX East! We walk through some of the ones we're really excited for!  Lastly, Pezzy played a couple...
