There is no 354. 354 has been banned.

Hey Geeks, this one we talk about Bethesda's making it awkward in reviews, the Fallout TV series, Doctor Who is officially dead to viewers, and on the state of gaming. Close: "You Are Undeniable (Amerigo Remix)" by Mos Def and Marvin Gaye

WMWTGOH - The Conjuring

Hey Geeks! It's spooky season so we decided to bring back the Watching Movies with the GeekOut Heroes were we watch a movie with you, our lovely listeners. That's right, all both of you. Today we're watching The Conjuring. Oooooooow, spoopy. So grab your popcorn, candy and drinks and prepared to be annoyed as hell while we ruin the movie for you. Intro and Close: "Season of the Witch" by Donovan

The heroes attend a party of furries and learn that violence is love

Hey Geeks, we've tried to clean this up as much as we can. Hopefully this is decent enough for a listen through. Sorry for all the delays. Crap happens and happens often but hopefully 354 will be dropping soon after this. To those few who have stuck with us, thank you. To everyone else who left ... yeah, we get it. Anyway, we had some fun conversations here and hope you enjoy our stupid takes on the crap we all love. Close: "Anthem Part 3" by Blink 182

Unity managed to unify the internet in hatred

Sorry the absolutely late drop. We are having an issue with one of our mics and it made things difficult to say the least. So, we apologize for the poor audio quality and we are working on a fix. The episode was recorded a few weeks ago just after Unity tried to swindle some more money from developers using their engine. Nothing Netflix, Disney, Hulu, and Amazon aren't already doing to their customers by raising prices this difference is the developer community and gamers came together this time...

The heroes journey to FAFO in order to understand consequences

Hey Geeks, we're talking about the spiritual successor to Saints Row 2022, Dustborn, and how well it's likely to do. Volition closed their doors after 30 years. Companies think you owe them your money and apparently Sony believes they're too big to fail again so they can charge you whatever they want for the same services you already have. Makes total sense, right? Companies need to be reminded that you have the power. Not them. So let them fail. We also give our opinions on Armored Core 6, The ...

After a long rest the heroes decide to yell at some walls to see what happens.

Hey Geeks, we're back with a long one. Recently some developers said some pretty stupid stuff and we thought we chime in because what else can you do around a dumpster fire? Anyway, we thought the sentiments expressed translated to the general issues around quality in streaming services and films as well so once this all got started it just didn't stop. We're tagging everyone we can in this one cause the industry needs to start hearing gamers out instead of instantly thinking we're unreasonable ...

Walking in a Starfield we came across an unexpected adventure

Hey Geeks, the catch up continues. This is our discussion primarily about the Xbox, Nintendo and Ubisoft showcases with a bit of extra stuff in between. But the biggest is obviously Starfield. Will this be the game to bring us back into being the Bethesda fanboys we know we've been? Who knows.

Looking at a Showcase believing in a better future

Alright, still playing catch up. This is primarily our PlayStation Showcase discussion, but we also talked about the Call of Duty "boycott" that has never been. Additionally, EA is bringing back NFTs, yay. And Take-Two's CEO was praised for making a common sense statement about his employees.

How Facing Apex Predators and Illicit Drugs of the Underworld Helped the Heroes Accomplish the Already Possible

Hey Geeks, this week we talk about the passing of a legend. We discuss our issues with Lightfall and whether we think Bungie really has a plan for the story. For a genre that seems extremely unpopular and unwelcome by gamers at this point, Service Games sure seem very popular with developers/publishers despite the failures that have come and gone. NFTs have failed repeatedly, so why is Square Enix still trying to make them a thing? Bethesda announced a new launch date for Starfield and a showcas...

The heroes party recommends entertainment that must be played loudly and often in underwear

Hey Geeks, this week we talk about what games we recommend from 2022 and ask the question, will we get hardware refreshes this generation? We also give our thoughts on Hogwarts Legacy and give recommendations for some anime. Close: "Cecilia" by Simon and Garfunkel Looking for some crappy merch?

Villagers Rejoice as Wizards from Another Coast Give Up to Start Their Lives of Penance

Hey Geeks, this week we talk about WotC giving up on the OGL changes. Could new fans be to blame for why our beloved franchises are failing. The DCEU sounds terrible. Hogwarts Legacy boycott failed. Netflix looses subscribers and does an about face on blocking password sharers. And a lot of BS in between. Close: "Mr. Crumby" by The Audition Look for some crappy merch?

Wizards from Another Coast Give Up their Good Works While Limiting Running for One Person’s Complaint.

Hey Geeks, we're back for the new year with even more BS about the crap we love. This week we talk about business setting speed records for who can lose money and customers fastest. Ubisoft cancelled seven unannounced games and leadership give employees the preverbal wheel. Diablo IV's opening cinematic dropped and it looks good, but the game wreaks of Games as a Service. Microsoft is one of a number of companies having to let go of thousands of employees and a former 343 employees claims Halo s...

After Retiring the Adventurers Started a Podcast in Another World to Save Lives

Hey Geeks! After a long break we're back to talk about the new Disney CEO which is the same as the old Disney CEO. Avatar: The Way of Water was super expensive to make. CGI in movies has gone downhill and so have AAA games. We give our take on why that may be. One of us wants Ski-bi dibby dib yo da dub dub Yo da dub dub (his) pronouns to be scat (I hated typing that). We talk about Anime we enjoy and one show we're giving up on. We also give our thoughts on some shows we're catching up with and ...

Pyroclastic Proof

Hey Geeks, this one we complain and bitch a lot. Join us as we discuss how companies could simply avoid failing by listening to their customers. We talk about the fallout of what should have been successful ventures. We talk about out our excitement for Deadpool 3. Current PC tech is getting out of hand so what do we recommend for someone looking to make a build. Additionally, we share our thoughts on some movies and a few television series.

You have money, but they don’t want it.

Hey Geeks, we're slowly getting caught back up. Have one more cast the drop this week. This one we chat about Jennifer Lawrence not understanding how pay-grades work. We're all tired of remakes. We're tired of a failing Hollywood consumed with agenda instead of storytelling. The Rings of Power does indeed have issues. Gaming companies are making strange choices that seem anti-consumer. Sony complained about Xbox exclusivity. Should 343 still being making Halo games? Saints Row releases buggy and...

Anime-niacs

Hey Geeks, sorry for the long break. This was recorded about four weeks ago and we talked about what's been shaking in geek culture. Are companies failing because they're woke or is there something more as well? Are the companies in control of our entertainment making good choices? Sony has concerns over the Activision acquisition, but are they valid? Does GTA VI need to be better than GTA V? We give our opinions on Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels, Trek to Yomi, and Two Point Hospital and Stray. We ...

Grand Woke Avatar?

Hey Geeks, this week we talk about Microsoft trying to play down Activision's role in the gaming industry. Activision's Raven Studios gets caught plagiarizing design. We've heard some possibly disturbing news about GTA 6's humor. Ubisoft has lost a large chunk of their workforce because they chose to not act and now several games are delayed. Knights of the Old Republic remake has been delayed indefinitely. GameStop gets a lesson in No F*king Thanks. It's looking more and more likely that Square...

Welcome to the Fandom

Hey Geeks, as more and more fans find themselves on the other side of the line watching what they love get misused and damaged we decided we'd talk about the companies in control of the franchises fans love and how these corporations don't care about the properties they own or the fandom that actually follows them. Additionally, talk a little about Comic Con announcements, Digital Extreme announced Soulframe, Ubisoft cancelled 4 games and wants $70 for Skull and Bones, and The Last of Us Remake ...

Casters of Muppets

Hey Geeks, we're back from a long break but we've got a fun one for you. This week we talk about companies inability to understand or even accept criticism from fans. At what point should fans just stop caring and supporting franchises from companies that hate them? Diablo Immortal is an epic disaster, but Blizzard doesn't care. Why? The answer may surprise you ... it's money. The PS5 UI and UX are awful. The New PlayStation Plus has rolled out. Are the other two tiers worth the extra cost? Ubis...

Say What Agian

Hey Geeks, this is an old recording by now, but we're finally getting it posted. This was recorded about a month ago. We cover a lot, but you don't really care what this summary says, right?

Ep. 332 - Zero Accountability

Hey Geeks, this episode four a-holes talk about the importance of the Depp/Turd, sorry ... Heard lawsuit. Disney and Netflix's latest recorded losses are actually big. Should companies be giving their two cents when it comes to political issues? Do we need more battle royal games? NFTs are failing but that hasn't stopped Square Enix from making one of the weirdest choices we've seen. Bethesda and Xbox plan to show what they've got in June, but a former QA tester has already revealed a lot. Nvidi...
