Welcome back everyone,

This week I am finally joined by the OG of mixing and Konami Codes, Matt Helgeson, to discuss changing landscape of gaming.

As the game industry grows, people can no longer hide behind anonymity, and it's an overdue change. The Pokemon Company's decision to use Katy Perry as the 25th-anniversary headliner, and then Bethesda and Mircosoft dropped a bomb by bringing Indiana Jones into the next generation.

Welcome back everyone,

This week I have the OG himself, Andy McNamara, one of the originators of video game journalism, to talk about the current state of video games'. Everything from what a PlayStation Game Pass could look like, the opening of Super Nintendo World, the launch of Cyberpunk 2077, and the premiere of The Game Awards 2020.

First, we kick this week off with PlayStation. Sony Interactive Entertainment President, Jim Ryan, eluded that Sony has something coming to rival Microsoft's Game Pass. We hop on the speculation train to discuss what forms this service may take.

Then, Super Nintendo World set its grand opening, and we will not be there! So we fantasize about the day when it will be safe again to check out this fantastic fever dream of video game goodness.

Finally, December 10th is a week away, and with it will come The Game Awards and the "release" of Cyberpunk 2077. We reflect on our best games of the year while debating if Cyberpunk will see the light of 2020.

Welcome back everyone,

This week, I am joined by the doesn't want to admit he is famous Kahlief Adams to dive into in-game video game concerts, PS5's first week in the wild, and video game exclusives.

First, if you didn't know, Lil Nas X recently had a concert in Roblox, Continuing this trend of famous musicians performing a full set within the world of the game. We analyze this fad and speculate how long before this goes away or becomes a regular occurrence.

Then, the PS5 is now in millions of homes across the world, and those fortunate to have one are starting to see what it can and cannot do. So we give the PS5 a week in review.

Finally, game exclusivity has already been a wild ride before the generation released, and now it's getting even crazier. We try to understand the gameplan for Xbox, PlayStation, and PC when it comes to exclusives, timed exclusives, and multiplatform.

Welcome back everyone,

This week, I am joined by the cat-loving metal head game journalist Joseph Yaden to discuss one of the craziest weeks in gaming in all of 2020.

First, as the USA decided its next President, BioWare announced Mass Effect Trilogy Remastered. Sending Twitter in a spiral of nonsense, but it's finally here, the game many thought we never see. We analyze its long history while looking forward to visiting many worlds.

Then, tomorrow is the PS5 launch day, and there will be no in-store units available for purchase. How will this play out for everyone hoping to get a system online? Well, we will see.

Finally, Demon's Souls Remastered will be a launch title and pushes gaming forward in different ways. We take a deep dive into a game that popularized a new genre and is looking to do the same thing again.
