GTA Online cancelled for older consoles, XBox box art, and Oculus ads. We break down a few games that we didn't talk from the E3 series of shows and JD and Peterson review/gush over Chivalry 2. JD picks his Dice of Destiny game.
This week we start off with some news, but it's mostly about E3. We review the list of games we're most excited for that were talked about or announced at the E3 show this year. Then we start a new dice roll to give us the Double Jubble Juggle...I guess...
The Deathmoths encounter a new threat. Tall Mommy news for Dani, God of War 5 delay and drama, Need for Speed no longer needed, Battlefield 6: The Call of Duty, The case of Nintendo v some guy named Matt, Injustice indeed, and JD talking about Harry Potter. We fire some shots during kudos, JD asks what our favorite sequel is, and we play Love It, Leave It for in-game temperatures. Mulligan on DoD.
The Deathmoths are dwindling. We start with some CDPR news, some talk about The Elder Scrolls and game development, Epic v Apple update, Skull & Bones, Far Cry 6, leaked potential Valve handheld, and Netflix possibly entering gaming. JD asks us what games we'd like to fix and how and we talk the Good, Bad, and Ugly of video game movies from the past decade.
We start with some news about the Cyberpunk lawsuits, Ubisoft reportedly does nothing as a response to those misconduct allegations, GTA player beats game taking 0 damage, and Blizzard at a crossroads. Then we do some kudos and poodos, JD asks us what surprise genres would make a good movie, and Peterson plays a game full of innuendo. Dani picks her Dice game.
We have a lot of news this week - Lightforge Games, another Ubisoft delay, Sega 'super game', New World in the news again, Gabe breaking news at a...school, Switch shortages, and WB Games breakup. Then Dani talks RE:8 and Trent talks about Pokemon Snap. We play some foodio games about food delivery/takout and Dani reviews her Dice of Destiny game, The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan.
We have a lot of news on this episode - RE8 mods, Frostpunk mobile, Activision financials, The Division ftp and mobile announced, more E3 entrants, the Apple v Epic case is insane, Australia courting game devs, and PS5 shortages. We talk about what we're currently playing, what games we would love to see mods for, and Peterson has a first impression rose (or does he?).
This week Peterson is laid up with Covid, so Dani, Trent, and JD try to fill his shoes. We talk about your odds of winning the Newegg shuffle, Bobby Kotick's salary, and the latest Game Boy game. Later, we give out some foodos, talk about new Game Boy games we want, and then whine about waiting.
It's a Covid-filled episode as Peterson is in the throws of Covid. KOTOR remake announced, Discord NOT selling to Microsoft, Square Enix at E3, Assassination attempt over bunny skins, Kaplan is out, and Gamestop CEO quits - makes millions. We have a listener email, talk about Sasquatch, JD asks about gaming disappointments and JD reviews his Dice game - It Takes Two.
Bioshock 4 may be open world, Amazon cancels Lord of the Rings MMO, and JD can't find a PS5. We get some listener kudos, we ask the game devs for a new trend, JD asks us what other on-rails games should be given the open world treatment, we play Foodio games a la buffet, and JD takes a mulligan to finish It Takes Two.
E3 is back on, JD has some...thoughts about Intel's Bleep app, AoE4 released a gameplay trailer, EGS is losing millions and they are good with it, and more. We get the best voicemail we've ever received. Also, Peterson makes up some fake games and hides them among real ones - can you guess which are fake? We "99" some other games, and JD picks his Dice game.
Activision at it again with online only single-player games, The Avengers game is a mess still, Microsoft gets into the war business finally, gamers are MAD about MLB the Show. We talk about what games we'd like de-makes of. Peterson reviews Loop Hero and his Dice of Destiny game, Hardspace Shipbreaker.
Microsoft is making some more XBox name changes and they predictably make no sense. Microsoft is in talks to buy Discord, Amazon Game Studios triples down, rumored Switch features, Stop Watch 2021, and Razer purposefully delays irl Waterworld. We talk about how to take care of yourself as a gamer, give an update to the Chicken Wars, and run through the 2021 video game hall of fame nominees.
Bomberman R Online gets a little life, fan fixes GTA Online and gets paid for it, and EA is on Game Pass but also they suck. Activision sucks, too. JD freaks out about Age of Empires 4 and brings us along with the freakout. We talk about the best childhood gaming afternoons, what we like and don't like about crafting and Peterson picks his Dice of Destiny game.
JD is getting fat on cookies, we have a new TMNT game coming out, Bethesda and Game Pass, FIFA Ultimate Team controversy, EA College Football, and JD goes full GAnon with Age of Empires. We review a couple of board games - Quacks of Quedlinburg and Nusfjord, then we play Foodio Games with St. Patrick's Day food. JD has us mash game studios together and Aaron reviews his Dice of Destiny game.
We start of with some news: Germany restricts loot boxes, Valheim sales, Diablo 2, Apex Legends, and some Hogwarts Legacy drama. Since we're fully addicted to Valheim we talk about the Good, Bad, and Ugly of getting hooked on a game. JD reviews The Stick of Truth and Aaron calls in to pick his Dice of Destiny Game.
It's (not) Leap Day!! Join us as we talk about Pokemon News, Dragon Age, RIP Anthem, Doom Girl, The Sinking City, and more. The chicken wars are upon us, so enlist now! Then we review Spiritfarer, Destroy All Humans, Red Dead Online, and Injustice 2. JD asks us some very Leap Year oriented questions and Peterson finally reviews his Dice of Destiny game.
We breakdown the lack of news from Blizzconline, Apple goes for Valve?, Dinosaur Planet released (finally!!), Stadia leadership sucks, 2060s, Nintendo Direct, Live Twisted Metal series and more. We give a first impression rose to Valheim and we talk about what makes a good 2:30 am game. Peterson takes a mulligan.
It's been a while since we did a 4-Bit so we decided to try it. We have tons of news - a Fallujah game we didn't want, cyberpunking Cyberpunk, Anthem, video card draught, Ubisoft moving from AAA, more allegations towards Riot, and Valheim. Dani reviews Phasmophobia, Trent gives a first impression rose and then we talk about the games we've wanted to play but never have (and likely never will). Also, Tall Mommy is a thing...
Episode 200!! We start with some news about Terraria v Stadia, Ori director taking shots, and how 2021 will be a lost year for gaming. JD also does a long rant about Amazon Game Studios. We get a listener email and then we play a History of 3BG Reindeer game. Peterson reviews Kingdoms Reborn.

The results are in! We've calculated the Blurstie results and we're here to break down the winners (losers?). Plus, we pitch some video game adaptations of books and some new Star Wars games/studios now that Disney has opened it up. Peterson picks his Dice of Destiny game.
Looking back and looking forward - we discuss our gaming highlights of 2020 and then make some predictions for what 2021 might have in store for us. Trent reviews his Dice of Destiny pick and we talk loads of news.
It's the second Blursties episode we nominate finalists for: Most Overrated, Least Favorite Character, Worst Sequel, Worst Name, and Worst Decision. Also, for kudos (poodos) JD tells a hilarious tale of selling stuff online.
It's the most Blurstiful time of the year! In part 1 of the two-part Blursties nominations episodes we nominate for these five categories: Biggest Disappointment, Worst Writing, Worst Launch, Worst Gamer Rage, and Worst Studio. Also, we stay on-theme with an anti-kudos.
So much Cyberpunk news and none of it good. Missing Simpson's Game found, Devotion gets banned cause of the Pooh Bear, Riot MMO, & Fortnite Among Us. Then we review Axiom Verge and For the Warp. The most exciting First Impression Rose in 3-Bit history. Also, Peterson's secret Christmas bumper.
JD really tries (but fails) to impersonate Santa, Cyberpunk seizures, Stop Watch 2020, and we breakdown our favorites from The Game Awards. Then we play the wrong Reindeer Game and Trent finally reviews Enter the Gungeon and we end up with a glorious reroll.
Console wars and shortages, shipping a brick, we get nerdy with some gaming stats, and the Chinese 3090 job of 2020. Dani tells all about her new game Yuligans - check it out, it's so Christmassy and awesome. Then we talk about what we don't love (and love also) about indie games and tell some sweet holiday gaming memories. The Russians take over the podcast for a minute.
This week JD and Peterson talk about games as a service, PS5 scalping, Square Enix, and the Game Awards. JD reviews Children of Morta and Peterson reviews 3 different board games.
