Was Shin-Ra Really the Bad Guy? (Ep 433)
Tuesday Jul 26, 2022
Tuesday Jul 26, 2022
Minecraft developer Mojang takes a sensible stance against NFTs and Blockchain...which was unfortunately undercut by Square pissing all over the message of their most notable video game, and then GameStop doing one of the most crass things we've ever seen? We also discuss whether players should be nervous about EA helming a single-player Black Panther game, CD Projekt RED losing their shirts over Cyberpunk 2077, and the best needle drop soundtracks in gaming.

When Publishers Advocate for Piracy (Ep 432)
Thursday Jul 14, 2022
Thursday Jul 14, 2022
It seems like Ubisoft is - or was - dead set on pushing their players to pirate their games since they were considering decommissioning several games from Steam. We also have several game announcement stories, like the new Skate being a live service game (eh...) and a release date for Bayonetta 3 (woo!). The post office veers heavily into fighting game talk, and Hideo Kojima was falsely identified as a prominent killer?!

Leave Game Devs Alone (Ep 431)
Thursday Jul 07, 2022
Thursday Jul 07, 2022
Brad is joined by a special guest this week, and our main point of discussion is why gamers need to settle the hell down and let game makers make their games in the wake of Monkey Island and God of War dev harassment. Brad gives his very early impressions of the Live A Live demo, and we talk the games coming soon and recently released we're most interested in. Nintendo brought forth a pretty good Nintendo Direct, and what is the best condiment?

Running on Empty (Ep 430)
Tuesday Jun 28, 2022
Tuesday Jun 28, 2022
It's been an oppressively bad week of real-world events, but Sony's stable of developers put a smile on our face sticking it to Jim Ryan. Activision-Blizzard is being pushed by their shareholders to show their work, Ted Cruz is as odious a gamer as he is a human, and we definitely mention the Nintendo third-party Direct.

Nothing to See Here! (Ep 429)
Tuesday Jun 21, 2022
Tuesday Jun 21, 2022
Good news! Activision-Blizzard has declared they did nothing wrong, courtesy of an investigation paid for by...Activision-Blizzard. In Diablo Immortal news, we discover the exact wrong way to protest Blizzard's gross monetization practices. We also talk surprising Final Fantasy VII and Dragon's Dogma drops, whether Saudi investment in video games will - or should - affect our buying practices, and the insanity currently going on in WWE.

It Really Didn’t Have to Be This Way (Ep 427)
Tuesday Jun 07, 2022
Tuesday Jun 07, 2022
Diablo Immortal is a really fun Diablo game! Too bad it also happens to be a really predatory mobile experience more interested in making all the money instead of just putting out a great product! Sony had themselves a real good State of Play and we are positively buzzing about Final Fantasy XVI and Street Fighter 6. Epic Games isn't interested in NFTs except when they are, and why bad leaders create mass exoduses in retail.

Swealtearing for No Reason! (Ep 426)
Wednesday May 25, 2022
Wednesday May 25, 2022
It's a pretty somber week in world events, and that holds true for the games industry with the Saudi government buying a share of your favorite video game company and former cops taking para-social relationships with their favorite streamers way too far. Fortunately we have some good news with Raven Software giving the US games industry their first union. Then in the Post Office, Carrie and Micah manage to completely flummox Brad yet again.

Happy Birthday to Jim Ryan’s Cats (Ep 425)
Tuesday May 17, 2022
Tuesday May 17, 2022
Sony Worldwide Studios VP Jim Ryan's cats were in the news this week, and if you missed the original story you'll never guess why! We discuss the delays of Starfield and Redfall and if it negatively impacts the value of Game Pass. We also review Sony's initial offerings of their enhanced PlayStation Plus plans, discuss Activision-Blizzard's corporate plans for diversity in their games, the WATA lawsuit, and why we don't need to see 73-year old Ric Flair in a wrestling ring ever again.

The Pies That Divide Us: Part 2 (Ep 424)
Tuesday May 10, 2022
Tuesday May 10, 2022
A slow week breeds tangents! We do talk about FIFA making a hilarious blunder, the FTC taking a sharp look at the Sony-Bungie deal, and Monster Hunter Rise's new expansion. But then Micah gives his initial Drive to Survive impressions and pontificates which driver and team he should support. And finally, the great baked goods debate returns as we argue about cake vs. pie and the dessert that binds us together.
