Chamberlain and Chance

Nintendo reveals the Switch and do Chamberlain, Chance or Alex have any hope in it? In a word, No, but listen on for why. In better news, Gears of War 4 is as awesome as Chamberlain hoped, Civilization 6 will eat up all of your free time, and the Vita lives, due mostly to Chance's constant nagging tweets.

What can possibly sour the mood when Red Dead Redemption 2 has been officially announced? A pending voice actors strike doesn't help, nor does Chamberlain losing his mind over a bugged quest in a bad game. Chance reigns things back in with his continued borderline fanaticism regarding Overwatch and Alex wonders why we didn't listen to him last week and watch Westworld.

Chamberlain, Chance and Alex are back after a brief technical break. They still talk about video games that you should or should not play and television that you really should watch. This week VR is dismissed, Darkest Dungeon is praised, the PC master race makes an appearance and Chamberlain plays another terrible game.

Chamberlain, Chance and Alex promise not to talk about anything not game related for at least most of this week’s episode. One of them is rightly proud of his accomplishments in Overwatch, the second returns to an old friend of a game made new with mods and the third is terribly embarrassed at the length (and depths) he went to trying to make No Man's Sky enjoyable. It never was and all he had to show for it was a headache the next day.

Chance has succesfully indoctrinated Alex into the Church of Our Lady Overwatch and starts to work on obtaining his weekly tithe of micro transactions. Chamberlain finishes Odin Sphere and fully admits that it was quite good and worth his time. All other nonsense stops just long enough for a real conversation about the Bioshock collection and what it has to say about society. No really.

Welcome to episode 40 of the Chamberlain and Chance podcast. Nothing is else is 40 now. Nothing at all.

Chance reveals himself to be a digital drug dealer and has caught Alex up in his vicious Overwatch web. Chamberlain didn't play much of anything last week, instead opting for something called 'outside.'

Outside will be replaced in three years by Outside Pro and Chamberlain will buy that, too.

Chamberlain, Chance and Alex have an actual conversation about the representation of the female body in games. Chamberlain plays the devil's advocate, Chance breaks out his soap box and Alex keeps the two of them in line as best he can. Overwatch is still being played, one of them has a crush on Geralt from The Witcher that he will not confess to, and the third just gets older and crankier with every passing day.

Welcome to a calmer, quieter podcast recorded long after our colletive bed times. Chance is back on the Overwatch wagon and Chamberlain is burned by SNK's promises. Again. Chance samples a 'questionable' game. Again. And Chamberlain almost destroys the entire evenings work by tripping over a cord.

Again.

Alex joins Chamberlain and Chance in their desire for Konami to simply die. There are arguements about the best Bioshock, the best fighting games and what makes a quality adaptation of Shakespeare. Chance is back on the Overwatch horse, Alex wants to marry his old friend The Witcher 3 and Chamberlain is released from his brutal captivity by a below average JRPG. 

Chance throws Chamberlain seriously off of his game my avoiding the topic of No Man's Sky for as long as possible, then explains why he both enjoys it and knows exactly why Chamerlain will hate it. Chamberlain renews an abusive relationship with a mediocre JRPG because he never, ever learns from his mistakes.
