Podcast Episode 81 - Super Sony

Apparently Nintendo decided to update all their games, which dominates a good portion of the news. I have been playing the same games for hundreds of hours, so once again it's just Matt who has new games to talk about.

For the third part we tackle the subject of Sony in our legally binding publisher rankings for the current console generation.

Podcast Episode 80 - Sonic and Sega All-Stars Podcast Transformed

Matt and I return once again to talk about the news, which is fairly scarce this week. Jason Schreier is leaving Kotaku, and Xbox has an upcoming joint announcement with Sega. What could it all mean?

As for games Matt has been trying out some indie titles while I've been on the opposite end of the spectrum playing a ridiculously high budget AAA title.

For the final segment we rank everyone's favorite blue hedgehog loving company Sega!

Podcast Episode 79 - Rated S for Nintendo

I initially thought this week was going to be much shorter, but thanks to Nintendo's wealth of games to talk about it ended up being just as long as every other one...

We start our first weekly podcast by discussing the news of the world such as Cooking Mama being de-listed and the newest Inside Xbox showing.

I didn't play anything new, and Matt had a few quick things to say about what he has been playing. I'm not going to do timestamps for specific games this week because of that!

As usual we end with a special discussion of Nintendo, which just so happens to be one of my favorite publishers of all time!

Podcast Episode 77 - Everything is Cancelled

Coronavirus is a very serious thing, and in an attempt to stay safe Matt and I have taken to social distancing. This sounds like a joke, but I am very serious about it. We don't want to take any unnecessary risks and get sick. Due to that fact we are recording the podcast over Discord for the foreseeable future. If there are any audio issues I apologize. We will attempt to work them out over the coming weeks.

There has been a lot of news in general the past few weeks and the world of video games is no different. We chat about that and what we played before transitioning into ranking 5 prominent indie publishers in our ranking of publishers.

Podcast Episode 75 - C is for Bethesda

We discuss hot topics like Geoff Keighly ditching E3, the Animal Crossing Direct, and Anthem being reworked. Sadly neither of us have been playing a bunch, so expect a very light game section where we mostly talk about the Sonic movie.

For the end we rate Bethesda's generation, but it doesn't end like you'd expect.
