WELCOME TO E3 2019, BABY!!!!

It's that special time of the year where gamers around the globe watch a computer screen for hours to witness a video game get announced. Logan Moore, Michael Ruiz, and Max Roberts have joined together to predict what happens this time around, and boy, do they have some solid predictions.

Have you ever thought to yourself, "man, DualShockers Staff Writer Michael Ruiz is so cool, he should host a podcast!" If you have, today is your lucky day. This week, DualShockers Staff Writer Michael Ruiz is joined by DualShockers Staff Writer Max Roberts for the 20th time to bring you the video game content you deserve.

Usually, this is where we put a breakdown but there wasn't much to break down. We discuss what we've played -- which contains an oddly long Call of Duty discussion -- two news items, and Max's newfound love for the Mortal Kombat series and his excitement for Mortal Kombat 11. Also, we briefly discuss our trip to the wonderful city of Boston where we played a lot of video games at PAX East.

You can find Drop In/Drop Out on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, and PodBean. If you enjoy what you've listened to, leave a review. It definitely helps!

Note(s): Audio is a bit wonky this week. Sorry. Also, this was recorded before the Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order reveal. Again, sorry.

Logan, Michael, and their good friend Mario Rivera are on Drop In/Drop Out this week to talk about early thoughts on The Division 2, Halo: The Master Chief Collection coming to PC, and for some reason, My Chemical Romance.

Full breakdown of Episode 16:

The Division 2!

Left 4 Dead Successor Back 4 Blood Announced

Borderlands 3 Announcement Imminent

Halo MCC is Heading to PC

Google's GDC Keynote Predictions

Also, I'm aware that the audio has been acting strange lately on my (Logan) end lately in these recordings. I'm not really sure what's wrong at the moment but I'll be trying to rectify it before next week's show.

You can find Drop In/Drop Out on iTunes, Google Play, and Spotify, in addition to listening natively on Podbean. If you have time to leave a review on any of those platforms, it’d help us a whole dang bunch.

We discuss the merits of what we've played of KH3 so far on this week's latest episode of DIDO and are joined by DualShockers' own Chris Compendio to try and break down what the heck is going on in this game's story (no spoilers though, so don't worry).

The first episode of Drop In/Drop Out for 2019 has arrived and it's likely far too bloated.

On this week's show, we talk about all of the year's biggest news stories so far including that of Bungie and Activision splitting, Ubisoft and The Division 2 on PC, and even bemoan what is happening with the Alien license.

After tackling the news, we then play everyone's favorite game "These Are 2019's Video Games!!" Basically, we run down the upcoming year's releases and give our thoughts on all of the major games that are slated to launch in this calendar year. We also discuss whether titles like Metroid Prime 4, DOOM Eternal, and The Last of Us Part II will end up launching in 2019 even though they currently don't have release windows. It's a fun albeit quick look at what the forthcoming year could bring.

Here are this week's biggest topics:

Bungie and Activision Break Up, Destiny Rights Remain with Bungie

The Division 2's PC Release on Epic Games Store

Alien: Blackout's Announcement for Mobile Devices

Looking forward to All of 2019's Releases
