Another One Bites the Dust

Hey Geeks, this is a bit late ... only nearly a month. HAHAHAaaahh. Anyway, this episode we talk about EA closed another studio. We give our opinion on Elden Ring Nightreign. Randy Pitchford apologized? If you want to call it that. We give our thoughts on the possibility of $80 games that simply won't ever be worth that kind of money. Meanwhile the industry turned on Studio 33 and instead of giving them a pat on the back they decided to point the finger of blame. And a former BioWare dev decided...

The Fan Simping Needs to Stop

Hey Geeks, this week we chat about Bungie openly admitting to plagiarism. Nintendo fans, and all fans for that matter, need to stop simping for companies who don't give sh*t about them.

Getting political ... for about 15 minutes

Hey Geeks, this week is a rarity. We talk about politics. Now, now, nothing extremely serious. Just the fact that USAID gave money to publications to bat down Gamergate 2.0. That's right, the government thought they'd throw their hat into the arena of gaming affairs. As you can guess their understanding is about as extensive as Kotaku's so you can see where this is going. Anyway we also talk about a few games. Give our personal takes on Civilization VII. Catch up on some issues that cropped up i...

Spoopy do as Spoopy does

Hey Geeks! This week we chat about BioWare. CD Projekt Red getting caught with their proverbial pants down with their DEI initiative. Ubisoft is in trouble but it's starting to seem intentional. Has DC turned the ship around? Is Silent Hill 2 Remake worth a replay for those who loved the original and is it worth a playthrough for first timers? Is Until Dawn Remake really a failure? Is The Casting of Frank Stone worth anyone's time and money? How was The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom? And wha...
