Tally ho! Back to the front!

This week is a whole lot of shooter talk, as Steve and TV Dave are joined by Dom aka TheFloppyTrout, who's probably shot you at least once in the past 2 decades of online shooters.

This is another epic length pod, because well, we talked a lot and I enjoyed listening back to pretty much the whole recording during the edit. What did you think?

EBP returns to normal this week with Steve, TV Dave and Jeff breaking down all the latest in the world of pc gaming.

There's no way we could match the excitement of last week's episode, so we didn't even try.

Join us for a chillaxed session and a whole bunch of topics from the gaming scene.

The biggest Eternal Beta cast so far assemble for an evening of Virtual Reality and gaming talk on our 30th episode!

Join Steve and TV Dave along with guests Kieran, Evan, Liam, George, Min and Jeff, as we invade Jeff's offices at The Nest @ Frost* Collective in Redfern, Sydney. Super awesome of those guys to let us use the space for the episode, and we take full advantage of the board room and warehouse style digs to get involved.

Lots of talk and VR experience reactions, so enjoy and think about joining our Discord channel and say hi to us!

p.s. sorry for dodgy audio, we had 4 mics and 8 people so a lot of shifting around the room!

Same same but different, again.

Is this the real life? Should franchises change or stay true to themselves? Are we just too hard to please these days, or our attention spans too short for the long term success of games?

We battle these philosophical questions, and lose, on this week's Eternal Beta podcast. But mostly we just talk about video games. Specifically:

* Gaming on tvs and projectors

* More talk about the Switch than it deserves

* Conan Exile's endowment slider

* Zenimax vs Oculus lawsuit outcome

* Rhythm games vs Rocksmith

* Witcher 3

* Resident Evil 7

* Watch Dogs 2

* Astroneer

* Linux gaming

* The news in gaming
