Game Bytes Show

Midweek video gaaaames! In our newest 30-minutes-or-less podcast, our byte of games is brought to you by Dale, Jeremy, and LeGrande! This week we've been playing Final Fantasy 14, No Man's Sky, Towerfall Ascension, Street Fighter 5, and Hollow Knight! Our Mike Meyers and Dana Carvey references are dubious. Intro: "Bloodline (King's Court)" - Towerfall Ascension, by Alec Holowka Outro: "New York Theme #2" - Street Fighter V Arcade Edition, by Zac Zinger JOIN US FOR OUR AUGUST GAME CLUB: KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM!

We understand that gaming news is big. There's a lot going on and the sheer energy could rip any one of us apart. But like a superhero trio, LeGrande, Dale, and Jeremy are here to help. We'll focus the game news for you into a succinct game "byte" (30 minutes or less) and keep you informed about the goings on in games. This week, PS4 cross-platform, Steam.tv, Dishonored is sleepy, a canceled game returns, and a dramatic reading of Destiny 2! We cover the new releases, and talk about franchises that we would trade to come back from the netherworld. Intro: "Levels 1-7" - Hardcore (unreleased), by Olof Gustaffson Outro: "Under Siege" - The Order: 1886, by Jason Graves JOIN US FOR OUR AUGUST GAME CLUB: KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM!

LeGrande, Jerod, and Jeremy join forces for a triple-tag-team-combo of electronicallyyy-entertaining beatdowns! We tag in LeGrande who brings the fight money to Street Fighter V Arcade. We discuss combos and his future plans as an EVO contender with a new fight stick. Jeremy hits the mat with some Final Fantasy XV Episodes (minor spoilers), as well as the Destiny 2 Solstice of Heroes event. Finally, Jerod does a power intro and hits the ice with Super Blood Hockey and rattles some cages with Jurassic World Evolutions. Rawr!

LeGrande and Jeremy swoop in like ninjas on hang-gliders to make sure YOU have the knowledge you need about this week in video games! Game regulation changes in Germany are afoot, along with more casualties in the Emu Wars of 2018. Monster Hunter World takes a bone greatsword to a couple of records on PC. Discord selling games? Chinese Zelda knockoffs? Bethesda suing private sellers? And which well-loved video game character gave up the ghost this week? Then we tackle new releases and freebies, and we discuss other video game deaths that haunt us to this day. It's a hum-dinger of a show for this long hot summer, so stay cool with us! Intro: "The Sun Rises" - Okami, by Masami Ueda, Hiroshi Yamaguchi, Rei Kondoh & Akari Groves Outro: "Private Quarters Theme" - Monster Hunter World, by Akihiko Narita & Zhenlan Kang JOIN US FOR OUR AUGUST GAME CLUB: KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM!

It's our midweek show, and Dale and Jeremy are reppin' VIDEO GAMES. That's right, it's time to reflect on the video games in our lives for this week! Dale is finally spending some time with Final Fantasy 14, and he and Jeremy talk about how the MMO mimics and deviates from other offerings, and whether it's clicking with Dale's FF11 sensibilities. Jeremy talks about the new God of War, and talks about his newbie experience with Kerbal Space Program for the August game club! Intro: "Quicksand (Thanalan Battle Theme)" - Final Fantasy 14 (original), by Nobuo Uematsu Outro: "Magni and Modi" - God of War, by Bear McCreary JOIN US FOR OUR AUGUST GAME CLUB: KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM!

We understand: video game news can be difficult to digest. It's chunky, and there's so much of it. But LeGrande, Dale, and Jeremy have you covered! We're going to pre-digest it for you, like a mother bird regurgitates game news into her hatchlings' ears. This week, EVO is happening (as we speak!) and we have a lot to say about DragonBallZ and the like. Steam sheds users, PUBG picks up big sales, and Sony has milestones galore. Free-to-play on Nintendo Switch may remain just that, and what happens when you bet against Nintendo? We also cover the new releases and free updates coming out this week, along with a special topic... What changes have happened in video games that we have to "just deal with it"? Join us! Intro: "Elektrozavodskaya" - Russian Subway Dogs, by Peter Chapman aka Coins Outro: "The Merchant" - Dead cells, by Yoann Laulan JOIN US FOR OUR AUGUST GAME CLUB: KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM!

With no holidays in sight, we have staked out the month of August for our own! Jeremy and LeGrande begin the festivities by talking about the games they've played! LeGrande updates us on The Elder Scrolls Legends, plays EVERY GAME with his Dreamcade Replay, and is about to discover why Dana has such Lacrimosa in Ys VIII. Jeremy has dipped his toe back into Final Fantasy 14, played the brand-new launch game No Man's Sky, and defends against sky piracy in Owlboy. Have an enjoyable Feast of St. GameBytes everybody! Intro: "Vellie - Owlboy Theme" - Owlboy, by Jonathan Greer Outro: "Whimsical Vacation" - Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA, by Hayato Sonoda & Takahiro Unisuga JOIN US FOR OUR AUGUST GAME CLUB: KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM!

Jerod and Jeremy keep the news rolling this week with eSports in the real world, the release of No Man's Sky, a free-games program bites the dust, vampires bite humans, everyone bites GoG, Destiny PVP bites in general, and the US Army is sending one of its most skilled warriors to PAX. Also we cover the new releases and freebies, and we discuss which games deserve a second chance long after the fact with their own "Next" update! Intro: "Castlevania 3 Beginning [METAL COVER]" - Nestalgic Outro: "Nanairo Harmony" - Taiko no Tatsujin 2008, by Masako Ohgami, vocals by Asami Imai Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y

In this hot-(or comfortable)-summer-nights edition of the GameBytes Show, Jeremy and Dale sound off about the games that have been on their consoles, PCs, and phones this week! Dale dipped a tentacle into Octopath traveler and compares it favorably to other Square offerings. He also revisits Antarctica in the remake of Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey, and we discuss old-school dungeon mapping. Jeremy has been spending his time on his phone this week, and tries out Food Fantasy, and complains (just a little) about anime. He also tried out Galak-Z Mobile Variant, the sequel to the roguelike space shooter with an 80s (anime) vibe. Intro: "The Turnabout Patrol - A Tak's 8 Track" - Galak-Z The Dimensional Outro: "H'aanit, the Hunter" - Octopath Traveler Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y

In our 330TH EPISODE EVER (long past 300, sorry Jeremy), Dale Jones makes his triumphant return to America to regale us with stories of the southeast-north-western-easterly quadrant of Asia. We pick up the news of this week with tales of success and not-so-success, changes in actors, changes in games, and a slow and smooth approach to exhibition gaming. We cover the new releases and invasive pop-up ads of the week, and we remember the "good old days" of copy protection, when a little archaeology was required to play the games you wanted. Figure THIS episode out!
