Lockdown 2 seems to have been the disappointing sequel to the heavy hitting original, which conveniently describes one topic of this podcast. It's a slow news week so there's more time to cover DOOM Eternal, No Man's Sky and Breath of the Wild.
I think you might be able to guess what we talk about this week. Yes we really are being that obvious. We'll also talk about DOOM Eternal, Hyrule Warriors, No Man's Sky, Torchlight 2 and some other stuff. A kettle is mentioned.
New website hype! happysalad.net has had a bit of a makeover for speed. We kept the racing green for this very reason. If you get your podcasts delivered automatically, perhaps via iTunes, other podcatchers or pidgeon, you might not have seen it yet, so go treat us with your traffic. In this episode there's some boxes being removed, controller feels, game delays, Art of Rally, Hyrule Warriors, Night of the Woods, King of Cards, the Factorio slot and more.
Not a lot of news going on this week but we fill the time with beans. No, really. There’s beans in the gaps. Even our gaps are nutritious. We’ll fill those PS5 dust gaps with beans too! GAPS! We talk about the dribbles of new info around next-gen, Dan plays Star Wars Squadrons, Rob Shovel’s up the mess left by Afterparty and Zac does Zac things.
Before most tasks, have a think about it. Consider the outcomes of your undertaking and the routes there. Have a proper rummage in your brain bag for solutions. Then, forget what you thought of and do something else, believing that at least you could probably do the thing. Freeing, isn't it. In this episode, we have a think about Microsoft buying Bethesda, ponder on Minecraft Steve in Smash and ruminate on Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Enter the Gungeon, Spiritfarer and My Friend Pedro amongst...
September got hot again and so the summer of hype is back for more. There's XBOX news, SONY news, Nintendo news and Ubisoft news in a larger digital package. We've got Spriitfarer, Hotshot Racing, Tell Me Why, Stormworks, Animal Crossing, Rocket League and absolutely no Avengers coverage. Everybody wins!
We've got some weird games for you this week. An exhibition of odd choices, interesting structures and broken concepts. Society as expressed in the medium of idiots playing games. Mario’s 35th Anniversary, ONL, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remaster, Battletoads, Shapez.io, Spiritfarer and Tell Me Why are on display.
Running late but with more news to debate! In this episode we have the Playstation State of Play, Nintendo's Indie World, The Last of Us Part 2, Space Engineers, The Touryst, Forager and some "fanalysis".
"E3" still had some stuff to say before it left. Most of it was hurtful but like true professionals we've cut all that out so we can present the last of this year's hype season news. We've got that Microsoft showcase with them's Halo Infinite, dat Nintendo Direct Mini, this Neon Abyss, those Animals Crossing, the second Last of Us bit and Jet Set Radio?
Devolver Digital and Ubisoft have submitted their Gameovision entries for this year but without many surprises. It might not surprise you that we talk about what was actually shown once you filter out all the weird Devolver story stuff. OK so we’re running a little low on surprises right now but a couple of suppliers may have the goods soon.
I'm spending my time thinking about alternative doomsday theories. If cats cast aside their differences with the pigeons, their web of information could bring down governments. They know what they're doing and I'm onto them. In this episode we pick out a few things from New Game +, discuss the return of live sports, play Pool Panic and Creeper World 4 and check in on a few regulars.
We didn't manage to get through all the game news we had and now there's more! An early SaladCast for you! In this episode we cover our picks from the PC Gaming Show, the Future Games Show and EA Play.
So what if E3 isn’t happening? We've still got far too many game trailers happening right now. Rob picks out some highlights from the Escapist Indie Showcase and we go all E3 on the PS5 reveal event. The Summer of Hype is here!
The driest May on record is over but the drought is coming to an end. Just look at this episode. We have news about future news, The Wholesome Direct and The Last of Us Part II. The rain is coming! We also talk about some games what we played like Streets of Rage, Valorant, Terraria and Halo 2.
Sensing the effects that Eurovision withdrawal is having on the morale of the populous, the games industry has rallied to produce some hype. These things may have happened in reverse order but all the best theories are based on some notion of "close enough". We have Unreal Engine 5, Xbox Series X "gameplay", and a smattering a games like Valorant, Streets of Rage 4, Scrap Mechanic and that Terraria patch.
I don’t want to alarm you all, but there’s something called news here and they want to say hi. Would it be OK if we invited them in, just for this episode? It’s only little. Probably won’t bite. I bet our discussions on Yakuza Kiwami 2, Animal Crossing and Gears Tactics will cheer it right up. Stay inside, stay safe, play games.
Time for another round of lockdown podcast. Has the madness set in or have the crew turned more normal? Which is which? There's not a lot of news but we’ll never run out of games. Rob finds and leaves an island, Zac remodels an island and Dan... breaks this stupid sentence.
Times are weird but for gamers much remains the same. Take comfort in the fact that your backlog will still be there, gin is readily available and Counter Strike players will still be the worst people alive. In this episode we talk about all the time to play games, Zoom, TV, Ori, Animals Crossing, Steam Remote Play Together, Bravely Default 2 and other stuff.
A message from the Happysalad CEO: With 2020 shaping up to be mighty weird year in many many ways, it's important that we pull together, be considerate and follow scientific and medical advice from the appropriate sources. Fortunately this changes very little for a podcast about video games. There’s still news, games and banter to be had. We've been here ten years, and there will be at least ten more, so come get some Season 11! In this episode we have event cancellations but then there's next-g...
Let's get topical for a moment. Apparently we're all going to be spending a lot of time indoors, scrubbing our hands, sitting on the loo, so why not spend some of your isolation time with us? You've got plenty of it to spare! In this episode, interesting news is still light but games do still exist to be played!
Hi there Dan fans! Have we got 0% of a podcast for you! Dan is off doing something somewhere so you get Zac and Rob alone, unhosted. We've got patches, new Game Pass plays and some Sonic of the Hedgehog variety.
This episode is sick. Not the radical kind but the ill kind. No, not the good ill either. Rob's sick, Zac's sick and our equipment is a bit sick. What results is a concoction of games, wind, news and coughing. We got off lightly.
Be our guest, be our guest, have this suspicious treasure chest. Please go on and open, don't be shy. Be our guest, be our guest, for you we have another quest. From this Mimic kindly save our cowardly hides! We might have had a guest alongside us talking about Picard, delays, Byleth and those games what we play.
It's regular-ass podcast this time with games and films and socks in it. Socks are important. Rob is stranded with Death Stranding, Zac does Zac things and Dan starts Witcher 3.
For the tenth time, the Saladcast will pointlessly rank the games and events of the past year. Has it even been a good year? Zac will clear that up quickly at least.
To celebrate the greatest and best number we thought we’d just talk about good games that we might not have covered on this podcast before. There’s still some news for all you modernists, because things happen, but concentrate on the positivity!
The wait is almost over. We’re nearly at the best number. We’re positive you’ll agree. For now, in this episode we look forward to award season, critique a V and talk about everyone’s favorite topic, YouTube controversy.
With Sony still playing coy with big news events Microsoft steps up to put on a show that’s a bit better than XO18. They called it XO19 and we’re covering that. We’re also playing those hot bangers like Outer Worlds and Luigi’s Mansion 3 and then describing them with words. So many words.
There were probably a lot of tears this morning as England came second in the rugby World Cup but you can’t spell tears without tea, so we talk a bit about that instead. There’s also some Devil May Cry 5, Autonauts and maybe a bit more understanding about what Death Stranding actually is.
EGX 2019 has been occurring and once again Rob has been checking out as much as he can get his hands on. Dan and Zac stayed at home so Rob must recite his adventures to them. Also in this episode, Bloodstained, Zelda, supermarket design, Oxygen Not Included and that Blizzard news.
