*We recorded this episode a week early on the 19th of May, so forgive us if what we say is redundant* Another HUGE video game news week (This close to E3? Who wouldda thunk it?) Pokemon Let's GO confirmed? Is Fortnite finally coming to Switch? Who wants a GOLD Famicom Mini and we discuss possibly the greatest game in the history of ever - Fight Crab.
We're changing some things up, and DinoMore is about to get bigger and SO MUCH better. Hav a listen to find out what lays ahead for the all new HACK THE DINOMORE!
Hope you guys have a bucket, because with these many leaks you may be headed to the bottom of the briny sea. If you're a boat. If not, should be ok. Dan and Ben discuss the recent leaks for the week, including everything Nintendo supposedly has to offer at this years E3, Walmart leaking unannounced games and Marvel cashing in on the 'Post Credit' craze.
Ben, Dan and Super Producer Brayden sit down and discuss their thoughts, theories and predictions for Avengers Infinity War, AND BEYOND! Warning, contains spoilers. Duh.
In what can only be described as a mess of words and unruliness, Ben and Dan somehow work through the news of the past fortnight, talk about rumours of a Dreamcast 2 form SEGA and wax lyrical (that's still a saying, right?) about some of the things we may see at this years E3 show. That, and Ben talks about Onslaught for some reason.

A sample of our monthly Patreon Movie Commentaries is finally here! the 1994 'hit' (as in I want to hit myself in the groin over and over again rather than watch it) is our first flick, with Ben, Dan and Super Producer Brayden ruining your film experience with their inane banter.

It's Episode 38 of HACK THE DINO, which means it's time for another Ben and Dan solo show! Who will be in the newly announced Super Smash Bros for the Switch? We have a few thoughts. We also give our thoughts on the big bad who is making all AAA devs get their games out before November, and answer the hard hitting questions from you!
Dan isn't here for Episode 37, but fear not - we have two loud screaming girls in the background to replace him - oh and Chad Habel and Lyndon Patrick Cullen (I'm serious about the girls, but it's dealt with quickly - hang in there). Ben talks with his TWO guests about Googles ambitions to enter the console market, the cancelling of some beloved DC comics and...sorry, you really have to watch the YouTube show for all that background noise to make sense.
On the very first Episode 36 of Hack The Dino, Ben and Dan are joined by artist, animator and Canadian Greg Holfeld! Find out what it takes to animate a Ren and Stimpy cartoon and hear what it is like to be a pro artist and animation King! Florence, the new game by Monument Valley's creative director Ken Wong is out, and Ben is a little bit in love with it - so much so, he may marry it.

Our first guest is a man who declared last time he was on (a year to the week)that the Switch would suck and fail with no third party support - with Dan agreeing. What does he have to say now that he is the owner of a Switch? Plus, Dan gives us the numbers showing that single issue comics are on the way out, and the first round of DAN VS THE WORLD kicks of with a bang!
Ben and Dan go SOLO in the first episode of 2018! The duo let you know what games you should keep an eye on in 2018, talk about more Marvel controversies and play a one sided DAN vs THE WORLD as a warm up for Dan's trophy defence this year!
MERRY X-MEN! The last show of 2017 brings author, ring announcer and journalist Sean Fewster to the desk to talk video game movies that are so bad they are good, the necessary evil of loot boxes AND the FINAL DAN VS THE WORLD for the year! Can Dan walk away with the literal trophy or can Sean pull it together and grab the gold for the world?
Straight out from watching The Game Awards, Ben and Dan are joined by pro tattooist and comic book creator Paul Briske and talk about the state of the Comic Convention Circuit, the winners and announcements from The Game Awards and give thoughts on DOOM VFR and Doki Doki Literature Club. And then, with only one episode to go be fore the trophy is presented can Dan pull ahead of THE WORLD in the video game jukebox quiz, logically called DAN vs THE WORLD!

All that, and can a person who hasn't played video games in 20 years beat dan in DAN VS THE WORLD?
Dan is away at PAX Australia so Ben cons the mythical Ross to co-host the show with him. Will Brennan (he sure will)joins the two and talks Retrospekt.com.au, argues about what constitutes a 10/10 game and has a very impressive showing in the HIT video game musical quiz DAN VS THE WORLD!
Indie game developer Carmine Fantarela chats with Dan and Ben about his soon-to-be-launched game ICEBOX SPEED GUNNER. He also gets some comic book recommendations from our two hosts, we continue our Kojima watch and Ben gets way too excited about Dino Riders.

Ben is excited for the SNES Mini, Dan is excited about Yakuza Kiwami and Chad gives us his thoughts on what Minecraft 2 could be. All that and a very special Super Nintendo edition of DAN vs THE WORLD in the Video Game Jukebox Challenge.

Wrestle Rampage Commissioner, screen printer and all round talky-guy Tom Chocolate joins Ben and Dan to talk about anything to cover up the fact that it has been a slow fortnight for game and comic news. PS4 System upgrade notes, delayed XBox adapters and the return of the Nintendo 'World' Championships fill the void until it is time to once again play DAV VS THE WORD in the Video Game Jukebox!
Dan and Ben are joined this week by artist and creator Jake Holmes (no relation to Sherlock). They ramble on about the lack of video game news, look at some cool upcoming indie games - OH !
