#7: Gravy (Lost Episode)

 Chris is our Captain this week as we traverse the sea of topics on our minds from the past two weeks. Hear us talk about the Epic Games Store sale epic fail, a microtransaction filled Mario Kart, the Huawei Android ban, and a little console called the PlayDate.

Bevan leads Jonny and Chris in their topics this week. They speculate over the new Pokémon mobile game that's in development, discuss the newly-announced US bill banning loot boxes and pay-to-win mechanics, a fan-made reimagining of the  Ben Kenobi & Darth Vader fight scene from Star Wars: A New Hope, and a spoiler-filled nerd-fest about Avengers: Endgame. 

Elliot is at the helm this week, with Bevan and Chris alongside. Together, they talk about the new Sonic The Hedgehog trailer, the new SMHUP/SMUTUP - Subverse - that broke a Kickstarter record, Epic Games' purchase of Psyonix, and PornHub's interest in purchasing Tumblr (as restoring it to its former glory). 

This week, Bevan leads Chris and Elliot in a somewhat different episode of Stepcast. No news is discussed, but many questions taken from the internet are answered. This is a chance to learn more about us as people and hosts. Normal service will resume next week.

Chris is our Jedi Master this week as he, Jonny, and Elliot navigate the news from Star Wars Celebration, discuss films previous and, as always, the games we've been playing over the past week.

Jonny hosts, with Bevan and Elliot alongside, this week. They talk about Elon Musk's comments regarding the new Tesla Autopilot computer, the announcement of Disney+, Hockey and the NHL sort of fantasy league Elliot is making everyone do, Octopath Traveler's port from Switch to PC, the new Avengers: Endgame trailer, and more along the way.

Chris leads the tenth episode of Stepcast, with Jonny and Elliot tagging along. They talk about the lack of an episode last week, the best of the April Fools pranks found online this year, Jesse Cox's Gentleman's Hentai Club, Avengers Endgame breaking records already, the Marvel Cinematic Universe and origin stories, Borderlands 3's announcement at PAX, and the JOKER trailer. 

Elliot takes the reigns of a three-man podcast this week. He, Chris, and Bevan talk about The Division 2 (brielfy), the new Overwatch update, Google Stadia, The Outer Worlds' Epic Store exclusivity, and Nindies (Nintendo Indies Direct).

Bevan leads this week's five-man podcast with Jonny, Chris, Elliot and George. They talk about the recent Halo announcement from Microsoft, Microsoft's new mobile SDK/Gamestack for Android and iOS, Steam Link's "cloud" update, rumours around Google's new console, the new Avengers: Endgame trailer, and Disney re-hiring James Gunn.

This is not your typical episode of Stepcast - after experiencing technical issues that were out of our control we ended up just recording us having fun and making light of the situation. We didn't want to release nothing, so this is the first in an accidental new series called "The Lost Episodes". Normal service will resume next week.
