Episode 456: What’s Coming in 2017Episode 456: What’s Coming in 2017

This week, the gang ponder about the games that are coming in 2017, thinking about what they’re really interested in. The games range from Mass Effect: Andromeda to Injustice 2, among other titles. It’s a long rambling conversation, but at least it’s hope. The Gaming History focuses on the folly that was The Capcom 5.

The news items this week include:

Fallout 4 surpasses Skyrim to become Bethesda’s most successful game ever
Rainbow Six Siege year two: free loot, better matchmaking, subversive operators
E3 2017 will be open to the public

The Question of the Week is “What game are you looking forward to in 2017?”

Episode 480: PsychonautsEpisode 480: Psychonauts

As the episode title would imply, this week’s Gaming Flashback is Psychonauts, with Jonah revealing he’s a total fanboy and backed the sequel for over $800. He also has no idea what Oxenfree is, since he hadn’t played it yet. (He has, and realizes he was completely wrong about it being like Cabin in the Woods.)

The news:

Captain Falcon was almost the mascot of the SNES
Hackers have already infiltrated the Call of Duty: WWII open beta
Assassin’s Creed: Origins‘ non-violent discovery tour update wants to teach you history

Let us know what you think.

Episode 462: Nerd RageEpisode 462: Nerd Rage

Jonah discusses his renewed views of Mass Effect: Andromeda after his long, long rant last week. It fits in with the theme of nerd rage in the news items, as well as some new games coming out. TJ and Scott talk about the games they’ve been enjoying in the past week as well, as the latter is burning through Pillars of Eternity so he can play Torment: Tides of Numenera and the eventual Pillars of Eternity II.

This week’s news includes:

Planescape: Torment 4K remaster comes out April 11
First Star Wars Battlefront 2 trailer dated for April
World of Warcraft has changed how enemies scale, and players are very angry
Destiny 2 officially announced, teasing the fall of The Last City
