In-Game Chat

It’s been a few weeks and in that time I seemed to have found some games to actually put some time into. Nothing new, of course, but given I haven’t played them yet, they’re new to me. Recently I finished Astro’s Playroom. This was a pack-in title with the PS5. A console purchased in November […]

Just a note for the show – Labor Day is next week here so we won’t be back live until September the 6th. With Gamescom come and gone we’re sort of set for the year on upcoming releases. I mean, there’s plenty of releases to come but I don’t see anything too surprising to show […]

It’s not unlike us from time to time to sort of stray off topic for a little bit. And by “us”, I mean “me”. And that’s the case early in this episode and throughout as I try and remember the very first comic book I ever read. At some point I’m going to have to […]

Still haven’t found a game to hold my attention in recent weeks and now, seemingly, months it feels like. I have a lot of quick games I play. Little things that I can spend however much time I want with them and back out whenever. But nothing on a story driven basis or anything like […]

Another quick note to let you know we will NOT be doing a show next weekend. This week however was more just chatting and rambling. Which, I get it, is most of what we do anyway. It’s been a minute for me since I have settled on a game to play. Got a good ways […]

We go away for two weeks and then come back with not so great news. MASSIVE layoffs at Microsoft and a really odd back and forth between publishers and devs concerning Subnautica 2 – only really leading to a delayed (and at this point maybe cancelled) game. And more news (mostly not good) that we […]

It’s hard to shake off the pull of something successful. I mean, it can be easy if you’re outright against it or don’t have the means to obtain it or whatever. Basically, there’s exceptions, right? But I’m speaking in the sense, as almost always I do here, in terms of video games. A successful console […]

So, about that write up last week… I think I mentioned that Borderlands 4 would be a test for that $80 third party gaming pricing. Turns out, it won’t. Since they are basically pricing it as pretty much any other current gen triple A game. I don’t know what game will eventually be that test, […]

We’ve circled back around to the price of our hobby again. Not so much the consoles and PC components, those will always run a premium. But the games. Nintendo is testing those waters with their first party titles. So, it’s their exclusives. If you want to play them you’ll have to pay those prices. Microsoft […]

“Too much is not enough” Actually, yeah. Yeah, I kinda think too much is more than enough. They need to space these things out. The Summer Game Fest video alone is 3.5 hours long. And it is back to back to back titles over and over again. The next day had SEVEN more events of […]
