All the showcases are now out there to watch and digest. We did. There is some good things on the horizon. I think we all agree Xbox was probably the best overall showcase - it definitely help to have a cuss word Starfield Direct directly after the main showcase. Also, during the show Chris already got in the mail - new Starfield themed swag in the form of a controller and headset. We are excited...

Deja vu? Well, sort of. It's like you think you've heard this show before, and you kind of have...but it's different. And that, Ladies and Gentlemen is Tears of the Kingdom (TotK for short) in a nutshell. The follow-up to Nintendo's 2017 Breath of the Wild (BotW for short) smash hit - TotK had some pretty big shoes to, well not fill, but follow up to. Overall, it did and them some....

Well, it happened. Sony's 2023 PlayStation Showcase happened. We saw a bunch of trailers for games, some new hardware and a deep dive into Spider Man 2. So what do we think about it? How do we feel about it? What stood out? Jon, Chris and Shaun all weigh in on what they saw, what made the excited and did anything make them go, "Huh?" As always, we'd love hear from you if you watc...

This week the boys are a man down - Jon had some important work stuff due. So, Chris and Shaun said - we got this. Ladies and gentlemen, we are on the verge of what used to be E3, which now we are calling "Showcase Showdown". This of course is because all the players in one form or another that used to show at E3, will show a showcase of their stuff, we mean the likes of PlayStation, Xbo...

This week - this is a week we've had on our minds and schedules for a while? Why? Because it would be the first week we could talk about the new Legend of Zelda game - Tears of the Kingdom. This episode it not a full review, and we carefully navigated our best to not spoil anything. We cannot speak for our Twitch chat. It may have had some spoilers in text. Just sayin. All in all we like the n...

Hey there! First and foremost - thank you for downloading or streaming this week's show! This week - The boys are all back together - heck yeah!! The topic - oh what a treat it's been for Chris and Shaun to play Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Online, almost everywhere, you'll find the game getting tons of praise - despite a hiccup of technical issues at launch. Do Chris and Shaun agree? Did...

We're back....well at least Jon and Chris are. We begin our march to episode 500 by taking a trip out to sea to do some deep sea fishing....unfortunetly for us we also encounter monsters at every turn in Blacksail's Dredge. After that we talk about delays, review bombs, NPD for March and end the show with a flurry of emails (way to keep me from Thanosing 100 episodes again this week). Enjo...

Hello and thank you for downloading this week's show! On this episode Chris, Jon and Shaun were feeling good - celebrating episode #400.

On this episode Chris, Jon and Shaun all took part in a trip to the actual movie theatre to see the new Super Mario Bros Movie. Sadly, we did not see it all together, always a good time when we do. For this review, we all took a moment to discuss how we approached it, and our thoughts individually. Overall, the movie has done remarkably well earning $375.6 Million in it's opening weekend. It s...

Hello and thank you for downloading this week's show. On this episode Chris, Jon and Shaun all revisited the wonderful Capcom game - Resident Evil 4: Remake - moving forward known as RE4. For Chris and Shaun, this was their first play of RE4 and for Jon - this was like a walk down memory lane, only prettier. In this series, RE4 is known as more of a "action" game with scary, intense...

Hello and thank you for downloading this week's show. On this episode Chris and Shaun dove in the depths of hell in the weekend that was the open beta for Blizzard's Diablo IV. Yes, the beta has tech issues. But the game is still awesome. And yes, after the closed Beta, changes and patches were made for tech issues, so one can assume after the open Beta, more changes are coming for any tec...

Hello and thank you for downloading this week's show! This week we talk about a new game from Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo. Let's give it to Chris, for being the fist person on the show to play it. Shaun, well...Shaun "shaun'd" his way into playing it by basically doing a thing the friend group does which is - implying he could do a thing that Chris mentioned. Chris then called...

Hello! Thanks for downloading this week's episode! In this episode we discussed (semi spoiler free) the complete first season of the Last of Us show currently on HBO. In total, the 9 episode season really checked a ton of boxes for the good for both Chris and Shaun.  If you're a fan of this game - this show does it right. If you have never played Last of Us, and like the HBO show, does it mak...

Hello! Thanks for downloading the show! This week was about Sons of the Forest, a sequel to The Forest. While Chris gave his review, he pointed out very - weird in game moments that def would have Shaun's skin crawling. Example, as he was building his base and fence... a man, would just sit and watch him. Not just any "normal" man - nope it was a cannibal. This game also has Feral Humans. How cree...

Hello! We thank you for downloading the show this week. Shaun was giddy to cover the brand new PSVR2 system - that arrived on launch day thanks to the folks from Sony and PlayStation.  In addition to talking about the unit itself, he also went into to some in-game type experiences. Noted was the presence of a potential to use the tech like eye-tracking in other PSVR2 games.  Last week we...

Hey you! Thank you for downloading this week's episode! We hope you had a good week and we hope we bring a little light, errr Lumos into your day. See what I did there?

This episode is all about it with a game  called - Hogwarts Legacy.  Developed by Avalanche Studios - this game released on...

Hello! First - we hope you had a very Happy Valentine's day. We delayed the recording of this week so the likes of Shaun could celebrate the day with his wife...HIS WIIIIIIFE. All three of the boys are here this week - so yay! The topic was awesome - and came via a rare Nintendo "shadow drop" - Metroid Prime - remaster. Jon gave it the highest of praises and proclaimed that we all should play it,...

Well, right out the gate, let's just spill the beans, Jon's not here today -  he took PTO. NO WORRIES! Calm Down! Chris and Shaun are here to cover a once shadow-dropped game that is pretty awesome. What game? Oh  that game is: Hi-Fi Rush. Released on Xbox and Steam/Windows, this game caught fire. Amazing reviews and comments popped up everywhere once people got their hands on it and for...

Hello! Thanks for checking out the show! This week, if you love scary vibes and creepy space stuff, you found a good show to listen to. Jon and Chris recently played the brand new remake of the 2008 classic, Dead Space. Brought to us again in 2023 by Motive Studios, you have to hear what the boys say. It was very cool to listen knowing both had played the original game. Potential GOTY? Maybe. Just...

Hello again! We are back and ready to discuss things!  So with the year starting, we put together a list of things we think the big 3 (Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo) need to do this year. Things range from physical things like the Dualsense battery life (it's not good) to something more digital like Microsoft's GamePass model.  We also would like to hear your thoughts and prayers on this...
