BitHUD Podcast: Gaming & Nerd Culture

Welcome back to your weekly dose of digital delight on the BitHUD podcast! This time around, Thaddeus and Dann took a moment to put down their copies of Elden Ring to chat about the Summer Games Fest 2024. Discussing the nitty gritty would take them all the way into Summer Games Fest 2025, so they opted to give their overall impressions and discuss the games that stood out to them the most. Notably, The Good, The Bad, and The Weird. Some people have described the whole podcast in those exact words.

Dann and Thaddeus review Hogwarts Legacy and get into a hearty discussion about the discourse around it.

Dann and Thaddeus trade notes on their approaches to getting through Dead Space, not just in progressing through the game, but also in dealing with the anxiety. 

Starting the year off with a fresh take on Velma, the controversial Scooby-Doo reboot that doesn't feature Scooby-Doo. Will the team at BitHUD like it? Of course, it's not a BitHUD episode without Dann and Thaddeus catching up on the latest games they've been playing, and capping the show off with a spirited conversation about the current state of the MCU.

Dann and Thaddeus get together for their annual gift exchange. Among the festivities is a whole load of banter and insanity.

We're at episode 99! As BitHud is one episode away from hitting the 100 mark, the two hosts decided to have a more laid-back session of fielding questions from loyal fans.

The BitHUD Boys both share their thoughts on the new indie title Cult of the Lamb. Do they think it will be a cult classic or will they slaughter it?

Then they put on their business insider hats to discuss Microsoft's accusations of Sony meddling with their Gamepass prospects. The hosts cap it off with a series of wholly original questions addressed to them and them alone.

After nearly a decade, talks of Grand Theft Auto 6 are starting to surface. But within that time, the social climate has changed, and Rockstar wants to make sure they adjust accordingly. Hence, Grand Theft Auto 6 aims not to "punch down". Dann and Thaddeus get into what this could possibly mean. 

Dann and Thaddeus discuss the current string of controversies surrounding the Unity engine and speculate on the engine's future.

The BitHUD Boys return to share their experience playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredders Revenge, and on a more somber note,  they discuss the assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and its unexpected connection to the videogame industry.
