  • Netflix Games, Tokyo Game Show 2021, and Guess Who Got Sued Again: 8 Bits (10.01.21)

    One of the benefits of working a job where you occasionally have to become nocturnal means you can stay up to get all the hot scoops out of Tokyo for TGS! One of the downsides is that I didn't know what day it was until I woke up earlier this evening (OOPS!)

    If anyone listening has a VR headset, I hear the digital showfloor for TGS is super cool, so strap that thing to your face and go check it out!

  • Nintendo Direct, Titanfall 3, and Perfect Dark: 8 Bits (09.24.21)

    Did you watch the Nintendo Direct yet? It's really good.

    Let me tell ya, I had one of the longest, most unadulterated laughing fits I've ever had watching the reveal of the whole Super Mario film cast. Who knows how the film will turn out, but that voice cast sure is something.
    Oh yeah, and video game news. There's some of that, too. Tune in!

  • Deltarune, Another Activision Lawsuit, And Another Ubisoft Clone: 8 Bits (09.17.21)

    By the time this comes out, I'll likely be playing more Deltarune, so excuse me if I lose myself to that for a few hours.


    Also, as a reminder, I don't report on any rumors or leaks I can't independently verify myself, hence why there's no coverage of the Nvidia GForce Now leaks. Feel free and check out someone else's coverage of that, though, since it'll be really cool if some of those games ever come into fruition.

  • Playstation Showcase, Epic V. Apple, and The Benefits of Posting an Episode Late: 8 Bits (09.10.2021)

    Playstation sure was busy this week, and some news broke Friday I was actually able to get to because I was super busy for two days.

    Sorry for the late episode, but after not sleeping for almost 48 hours, I had to take a full day to just recover.
    Let me know on twitter (@8BitsGG or @FrankieGodoy) if you like the episode posting on Sundays instead. I think I like the feel of posting later (earlier?) in the week.

  • The Midnight Suns of Dead Space: 8 Bits (09.03.21)

    A dark sun rises in the dead of space, bringing with it a new season of game releases and video game news.

    Also, I'm at PAX West this week in Seattle, so stay tuned for some report from the show if there's anything interesting there! I'll be sure to keep you all in the know <3

  • Some Gamescom and Some Games Go: 8 Bits (08.27.21)

    Lots of news coming from Gamescom this week as the summer of video games reaches its conclusion. Starting next week, the floodgates open to all the new games this holiday season has in store, like Deathloop. I didn't get a preview copy, so don't expect any insider coverage that from me. Though, if anyone from Bethesda or Arkane sees this, I'd be more than welcome to chat about coverage :) ([email protected] btw)


    Also, I'm gonna be at PAX West 2021, physically. I'm fully vaccinated and have all sorts of medical protective gear, so if there's anything cool from the show floor, I'll be sure to keep you in the know of it, as long as there are no more than eight things cuz, y'know, the brand.

  • Call of Duty Vanguard, Quakecon 2021, and The Zuckerverse: 8 Bits (08.20.21)

    Call of Duty Vanguard is real, Quakecon 2021 is real, and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's Metaverse is...real? Can a metaverse be real? Are we the metaverse?


    While there's no discussion about the idea of metaphysical existence, or what existence is anyway, on this show, tune in to find out what other video game news happened this week. Hopefully our eventual digital existence isn't locked to the confines of a generic board room.

  • For the Week of August 6th 2021

    The fallout continues for Activision Blizzard this week, along with more changes in leadership happening elsewhere in the industry.


    There was also a lot of financial info that came out this week, but nothing I could really expand upon existing reporting. Here's a quick summation: Nintendo sold a bunch of Switches, but is down this quarter compared to last year because Animal Crossing was super popular. Here's to hoping Samus is just as popular this fall as Tom Nook.
