DialogBOX

BOY, is Sony having a weird month. Concord gets cancelled less than 2 weeks after release, Astro Bot beats ALL expectations and earns rave reviews, and then Sony announces the PS5 PRO, which nobody liked. I'm joined by Daniel Alba of Good Vibes Gaming, Mary Stowe (formerly from Destructoid), and Josh Jepson from... JoshJepson, to talk about our thoughts on where Sony goes from here. What does Concord's failure mean in light of Astro Bot's success, and just who is the PS5 PRO for?? Let's talk it out!

Geoff Keighley's Summer Games Fest 2024 has come and gone, and we now have a better idea of what to expect for the rest of 2024 and beyond in video games. This month I'm bringing in  @forestminish ,  @jyggy , and for the first time on the show,  @DerrickBitner  of Good Vibes Gaming, to talk about all the latest announcements, what we loved (and hated) in video games in 2024 so far, and what we're looking forward to as the year closes out!

2024 started with a lot of prolific YouTubers announcing their retirement, citing burnout from an unforgiving algorithm. I've gathered a crack team of full-time creators including streamer ProtonJon, video maker Shesez of Boundary Break, as well as a full-time social media manager and mental health/self care advocate selfcaregamer to talk about what burnout and the algorithm mean to them.

Our annual tradition returns! This time we have forestminish, ProtonJon, and JoshJepson here to talk about the games we all played last year, and ranking them as we always do! Did we manage to all finish Tears of the Kingdom, or did we all collectively burn out... Did Laughingboy finish ANY games that actually released in 2023? What games did we find the most disappointing? All will be revealed in this episode.

Well gamers, 2023 is almost over. What was probably one of the best years of video games was also one of the worst for the people who are tasked with making them. I'm joined by Rebecca Stone once again, AKA forestminish, as well as a newcomer to the podcast, Mike Minotti of GamesBeat, to talk about all the major events and games that came out of this year, along with what we're looking forward to next year!

The Game Awards 2023 is upon us and the nominees are in! For this month's podcast I bring in ⁠Kevin Kenson⁠, ⁠forestminish⁠, and ⁠UltimaShadowX⁠ to discuss which games we think deserve the GOTY nominations, what awards categories will likely be rushed in between World Premieres, and whatever else to expect with this year's festivities.

We're halfway through 2023, so its time for a progress report! I have Rebecca Stone and Kevin Kenson with me this time to talk about what games we've played so far, what games we enjoyed and what games we hated. Plus, a look into the future and our picks for GOTY contenders. Has Tears of the Kingdom stolen our hearts already or are we still waiting on our game of 2023?

Wow, remember E3? The once titan of the gameshow industry has fallen on some really hard times after 2020, but there once was a time where E3 was the "big game" for video games. I'm joined by Rebecca Stone, Proton Jon, and NintendoFanGirl to remember a time gone by.

What were we excited for? Have video games changed much since then? All this, and more, on this episode of DialogBOX!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. To that end, I invited JoshJepson and Rebecca Stone to tonight's DialogBOX to have a heart to heart about being a creator and the mental health struggles that tend to go with that.
