Full Circle Podcast

Welcome back everyone,

This week I am joined by the queen of editing, Khalilah Alston, to talk about the inner workings of video games, rumors, and how scary games will give you high blood pressure:

First, we entertain the idea of an Xbox Game Pass streaming stick that Phil Spencer alluded to recently, and pounder how that would change gaming for next-gen and probably destroy Google Stadia and Amazon's Luna.

Then, we discuss the merits of easy mode and if more games should incorporate it. Deciding where the difficulty is a true mechanic, and when it is only a self-inflicted crutch to add unnecessary challenge.

Finally, we confess how we can't handle scary games and the ones that almost made our spirits leave our bodies—both professionally and in our leisure time.

Welcome back everyone,

This week the distinguished Zach Ryan joins me to talk about passion and soul as we break down Experience, Pokémon, and Music:

We discuss the unveiling of PS5's user experience, the card system's introduction, and what we expect from next-gen interfacers.

Then Zach tells me his opinion on what Pokémon could do going forward to reimagine itself like many Nintendo games did this generation. At the same time, I expand on the idea and think of ways to keep the franchise's identity.

Finally, we wrap up by discussing the video game soundtracks that slapped the hardest this generation.

Welcome back everyone,

This week, my boy Ricardo "Ricky" Montañez joined me to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month and talk about everything video games:

We discuss the awkward yet informative PS5 teardown that shows us the inner workings and gets us excited at the console's potentially customizable aspects.

We are celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month by talking about our favorite Latino characters in the gaming world.

We wrap this week up by fondly remembering all the games that impacted us this generation as we get ready to say goodbye to it.

Welcome back everyone,

This week we are joined by Joel Ramirez & Ben Runnings, from the Final Checkpoint Podcast, to discuss the last game that will close out the current generation. From Ghost of Tsushima to Crash Bandicoot, we discuss the last game we will buy this gen. Then it's about Minecraft Steve and how he broke Twitter as we analyze and predict the future fighters of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Finally, it's spooky season in Animal Crossing, and after being gone from our islands for months, we help each other out to get back in the mood to play again.

Welcome back everyone,

The dynamic duo is reunited! Yes my co host for over 100 episodes, Jared Fradette, has returned (for this week only) for some Full Circle magic. We kick things off with Amazon Luna, and their attempt to succeed where Google Stadia failed. Then, Microsoft acquired Bethesda causing some serious waves in the industry. Adding more power to their impressive Game Pass adrenal. Finally, we wouldn't be who we are without talking Pokémon, and everything the Pokémon Direct gave us.

Welcome back everyone,

This week, rounding out the show is my good friend Kyle Hilliard, of Game Informer and Minn Max fame, bringing his industry expertise to shake things up. First, we are talking about Mario 35, and all the stuff we love and wished we saw. Then, a new study has found Xbox gamers to be more toxic than PlayStation gamers. We put on our Ph. D. hats to determine why that is and dissect the games with the most aggression. Finally, we bring it all around with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, both past and present.

Welcome back everyone,

I hope y'all have been well since the last show. This week my boy, the man Brandon Cash Cobb is joining me. We're diving headfirst into our Gamescom recap and the gems that came out of it. Then, we are talking backward capability for the next generation and how Sony needs to get it together for the fans. Finally, we discuss cross-gen games. Games that release at the end of one gen and then again at the beginning on the next. Breaking down how this practice has helped and hurt us as we gear up for the next generation.
