Welcome to Bits, the podcast made for gamers by gamers. For this episode we cover the free games on PSN and Xbox Live for the month of August and then go over some new upcoming releases such as the new Deus Ex game and Just Cause 3. News was a bit slim this time but we more than made up for with a huge discussion on my time with the recent release No Man's Sky. We even have a super secret special guest who may or may not be part of a popular sci-fi film franchise. So join us as we keep you informed on all the latest videogame news.

[[:encoded, "Hello and welcome to our next installment of Backward Compatible, episodic gaming done right! We have chosen the first-person shooter survival horror classic F.E.A.R. for our next venture and we hope you join us as Madcap relives one of his favorite games of all time and I experience it all for the very first time.\n\nTo start things off we have decided to playthrough Intervals 1 & 2 which introduces us to both the horror and action elements that are likely to encompass the rest of the game. I give a break down of my first impressions while Madcap goes into great detail why he loves this franchise so much."]]

[[:encoded, "[REPOST]\n\nFor this episode of Flicks we delve deep into all the trailers and news that came out of this years San Diego Comic Con.

[[:encoded, "Hello and welcome to another episode of Now Showing! For this episode we take flight with the third entry into the J.J. Abrams reboot franchise, Star Trek Beyond. While all the initial trailers and marketing for the film left quite the sour taste in our mouths, both Jake and myself came away pleasantly surprised with this new Trek. Although it isn't the Star Trek many long time fans were wishing for and there are still plenty of things to complain about (which we do quite a lot of), we believe both old and new fans alike should come away pleased. Be sure to hear what we had to say before heading out to where no one has gone before."]]

[[:encoded, "Hello and welcome to another episode of Now Showing! For this episode we take a look at the new fright flick Lights Out. Aside for the usual ramblings of yours truly, this time Mr. Jake Wicks joins in on the fun as we run you through all the good and some of the bad with this latest entry into the horror genre. While the film is racking up the ticket sales you might want to hear what we had to say before heading out into the night to see it. So join us as we go over what we feel is one of the better horror films released this year. And don't worry if you are afraid of the dark, we will make sure to leave the lights on for you."]]

Then we have a ton of Nintendo news to dissect including the reveal of the NES Mini, a possible release date for Nintendo's next game console the NX and even some rumors about what the system by encompass. Finally we go over what we have been playing with Madcap reliving the old days in the B-movie inspired Earth Defense Force 4.1 and the Steam version of Kingdom Rush Frontiers while I give Overwatch some more well deserved praise as well as confess to my addiction to the global phenomenon Pokemon Go.

[[:encoded, "For our fourth episode we reach the end of our playthrough with the last two stages, Lost Island and Central Park Cemetary. After we gather our thoughts on these final stages we then look back upon our full experience with the game as a whole and dig deep into our souls to determine our feelings on it. If you have been listening up to this point you should know what to expect and we don't disappoint even if the game ultimately does. Also we give a sneak preview of our next Backward Compatible title which will be starting very shortly."]]

[[:encoded, "Hello and welcome to another episode of Now Showing! For this episode we look at the film whose trailer has received a record number of negative votes and an even more confounding number of people willing to write it off before ever seeing it. That's right, it is time to review the new Ghostbusters film. While it certainly isn't as bad as those trailers made it out to be the new film from Bridesmaids director Paul Fieg does ultimately pale in comparison to the original. But if you are surprised by that then don't even bother with this review and go watch the original again then get back to me."]]

[[:encoded, "On this episode of Flicks we go over the latest movie trailers including the new Tom Hanks film Sully and the Anna Kendrick rom com Table 19. Following that up is your bi-weekly news filter with a focus on movie theaters suing patrons, the sexual orientation of a particular Star Trek crew member and lots more Ghostbuster reboot talk. Finally we go over what we have been watching with Jake's renewed interest in some anime and my review of The Purge: Election Year."]]
