There is no podcast like a video game podcast, because a video game podcast don't stop... talking about video games. We really mean that this week! Our special co-host, John Warren, is here to talk about Final Fantasy 8 Remastered. Meanwhile, Niki is back from Seattle and did the time warp with Quantum League. Finally, Steven brings word about Catherine: Full Body and Astral Chain. It's a jam packed week for news, too, so strap in and get ready.

Steven gives it their all this week with a solid 30-minute "check-in" episode. Niki and merritt are unfortunately on airplanes this today, on their way to Seattle for PAX West 2019. But don't fret! They will actually be back later this week with their own new episodes of Fanwidth from the show. So there should be more in your feed than usual, not less. Keep it locked till then, and enjoy this one-person dive into Control from the makers of Alan Wake and Max Payne.

Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of Fanwidth: the Fanbyte podcast! It's your home for meaningless conversation about video games. This week, we dig especially deep on the expanded Matrix universe and its impact on video games... sorta. This naturally leads to some discussion about Star Wars, before we dip our toes into what we've been playing. Niki has a report from No Man's Sky; merritt and Steven are playing Monster Hunter. Isn't that fun!?

We're sorry to say that we don't have a new, real episode this week! Technical issues kept Niki and merritt from joining Steven to discuss Monster Hunter and other things. But we'll be back next Wednesday with plenty to discuss. Until then, thanks for being patient, and we'll see you soon!

You probably didn't need an excuse to listen to another episode of Fanwidth. We know you already love it! But if you did, here's the rundown. merritt and Steven dig into the latest news out of EVO 2019 (including a new Guilty Gear game) after dealing with some more recent developments. That's right! We actually have legitimate Pokemon news to talk about for once, instead of our usual nonsense. That makes this a news-centric week, even if there's not a lot of news in August. Thanks for the knowledge!

The Fanbyte office is abuzz with one big game this week. Fire Emblem: Three Houses has completed dominated Steven, Niki, and especially merritt since Friday. That's why we dig deep on this strategy RPG that looks more and more like a dating sim every time we see it. And don't miss our very serious thoughts about serious topics. This week, we discuss Madden 20 and its amazing new features. Like... the Fearmonger. Give it a listen, why don't you?

It's a beautiful week to talk about video games! Because... there aren't a ton of new video games to play. As such, Steven, merritt, and Niki dig into the world of old-school games and updates for newer ones! Then there's a quick diversion to talk about Frasier (of course) before we get into a surprisingly meaty news segment. Salve that aching body with a full two hours of Fanwidth! It's good for the bones and stomach region.

Have no fear! The Fanwidth crew is here! We're back to a full house with merritt, Niki, and Steven this week. Naturally, that means we're ready to talk about Destiny 2, Final Fantasy 14, and Apex Legends. Never say we don't know our core competencies! It doesn't end there, though. Dragon Quest Builders 2 finally gets the attention it deserves. Then Niki and Steven dig deep into old Wolfenstein as we prepare for the next installment. Finally, the gang explores their... options in Fire Emblem: Three Houses!

Steven is back from a harrowing journey to the far flung fields of Canada! They come back with news about a little game called Warframe, and take Niki down memory lane through the game's long rise to success. Meanwhile, both hosts discuss the upcoming Nintendo Switch Lite. Who is this device for, exactly? We'll find out soon enough!

Niki is unfortunately down with the sickness (i.e. laryngitis) this week. So merritt and Steven are back up to their old tricks with a two-person podcast. Of course, without any positive influences to keep them on track this week, things immediately go off the rails. Listen up, everyone! Because it's time to talk about Lego Dimensions, our "favorite" Pokemon, and other things nobody cares about.
