Game Bytes Show

We eschew our usual format for the E3 week and instead of talking about games we're playing, we recap the week of E3 2016. Microsoft, PC, Ubisoft, Sony, as well as our thoughts on some of the best or most exciting things we saw at the show! Intro: "See-Saw" from Rhythm Heaven Megamix, by Tsunkuo, Outro: "I'll Keep Coming" from the Death Stranding E3 trailer, by Low Roar

Current status: Down for Fun Games! We go the distance for our usual top-of-the-week news and new releases, but then shift gears into a recap of the "Day 0" press events for E3 2016. New game announcements, PlayStation 4 "Neo", new LEGO Dimensions, and more! Intro: "Title Screen" from Kirby: Planet Robobot, by Hirokazu Ando. Outro: Gwent music suite, from The Witcher 3, by Percival Schuttenbach

Game time! The crew convenes to talk about the games on our plate of late: Dale has been playing a heap of W games (not all of them are Warhammer), LeGrande finally kills Mecha-Hitler in DOOM (2016), and Jeremy travels back in time with Day of the Tentacle Remastered and Gone Home. Intro: "Some Special" - Bratmobile, from Gone Home. Outro: "Anorien" - Lennie Moore and Chance Thomas, from The Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring

As prophecy foretold, Dale and Jeremy begin a podcast series on MercurySteam / Konami's Castlevania series reboot, Lords of Shadow. Play along, and join us for the spoiler filled-discussion of Chapters 1, 2, and 3 of Gabriel Belmont's Big Adventure!

It's the mid-week, so let's get right to the games! Jeremy's been playing some PS2 classics on PS4, Jerod praises Battleborn on its merits and raises the banner for Total War: Warhammer, and LeGrande is all about Oculus. Come join us and compare your game-playing notes! Intro: "Main Menu" - Battleborn, by Cris Velasco and Kevin Riepl. Outro: "Romantic Love" - Parappa the Rapper 2, by Masaya Matsuura

There's news in them thar podcasts! It's the weekend which means it's time for us to talk about the biggest splashes being made by The Last Guardian, No Man's Sky, Mighty Number 9 and more! Thrill to this week's new game release list! And we talk about when we each decide "enough is enough" for a given video game. Intro: "Area Action Music (Dungeon Theme)" - StarTropics, by James Ronald (Epic Game Music). Outro: "Main Theme" - Mighty No. 9, by Manami Matsume

Have we played games this week? Of COURSE we have, and you can listen to our impressions on this very podcast! New DOOM, Shadwen, Vanquish, Warhammer Regicide, and... Dale has been playing Overwatch?? Intro: "The Mastermind" - DOOM (2016), by Mick Gordon. Outro: "Staff Roll Shooting" - Vanquish, by Masafumi Takada

Nintendo is reshuffling their deck, Google is defining a new spec, IGN brings GameTrailers back from Heck, Mass Effect ride has 4D tech, and Monument Valley gets a big paycheck. You probably don't need to listen now. BUT WAIT, there are still new releases, and we discuss that elusive sweet spot of difficulty in games! Tune in! Intro: "Main Screen" - Overwatch, by Neal Acree. Outro: "Bye Bye Monsters" - Pixeljunk Monsters, by Otograph

Dale, Jerod, and Jeremy reconvene to regale you with tales of games played this week: Heroes of the Storm, DOOMs of yore, and Dale's "U" game, as well as Stellaris, the Department of Cool Operator Names in Rainbow Six Siege, Punch Club, and Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings. Intro: "Punch Club Main Theme" - Punch Club, by Vincent Beers. Outro: "Journey Through The Galaxy" - Stellaris, by Andreas Waldetoft

It's a week full of news, as we discuss the end of Disney Infinity, predict the freshness of upcoming game movies, talk about new releases and our favorite transmedia properties. (Someone please tell Jeremy branded letter openers are not "media", no matter how cool they are.) Intro: "San Fransokyo Circuit" - Disney Infinity 3.0, by Kevin Manthei. Outro: "Succeeded Wish” (受け継がれる想い), by Hitoshi Sakimoto, performed by Megumi Toyoguchi
