Happy Holidays!

On episode 201 of the Gaming Meal Podcast, Manny, Erick, Gilbert, and Cesar discuss the best of the best of the year! We go over our nominees for the best of the year. So many categories, so little time but we still manage to squeeze them all in. What is the best meal we had all year? Can Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, a DLC, win our prestigious Meal Of The Year award? Surely a DLC cannot beat a game that came out this year like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth or Metaphor ReFantazio… right? Join us and find out.

Happy Thanksgiving!

On episode 200 of the Gaming Meal Podcast, Manny, Erick, Gilbert, and Cesar go over this week's appetizers (gaming news) where it’s a special 200th episode! We wanted to discuss live which games should make it into the nominees for our upcoming Gaming Meal awards. So we did just that… it was maybe a tad messy.

For our main discussion, we figured why not take a fond look back and some of the most unforgettable gaming moments for us. Whether it be a unique moment in a specific video game, an event that we attended, a reveal that blew our collective minds, anything we deemed unforgettable. Would you kindly sit back, relax and enjoy the show ;)

On episode 197 of the Gaming Meal Podcast, Manny, Erick and Cesar go over this week's appetizers (gaming news) where we are having tapas! We picked more topics than usual is all that means… We talk about Firewalk Studios officially closing down, Capcom releases some interesting sales statistics, Ubisoft releases an NFT game, World of Warcraft has a $90 mount, Nintendo releases a music app, and a review round-up covering a lot of recent releases like Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Mario Party Jamboree.

For our main topic, we flip around last week’s episode and talk about common features that we think are over-appreciated and unwanted. Features that are generally pretty common and we think should not be in games any more. They can be frustrating and are no longer gimmicks that we find fun. At the very least, they need to be greatly overhauled to become fun, fresh or worth implementing.

On episode 196 of the Gaming Meal Podcast, Manny, Erick, Myka and Cesar go over this week's appetizers (gaming news) where we talk about Valve mentioning that Steam Deck 2 is not necessary yet, a previous Sony executive comments about the state of AAA games and the lack of AA games, and Ubisoft is disassembling the Prince of Persia: Lost Crown team. For our main topic, we talk about features that we think are under-appreciated or taken for granted. Features that we think should be in every game no matter how simple or complicated it might be and that very often stand out when they aren't implemented.

On episode 194 of the Gaming Meal Podcast, Manny, Erick, Myka, Joe, Gilbert and Cesar go over this week's appetizers (gaming news) that turned into a buffet.

Ubisoft is still making news and we are starting to wonder how they are still operating. This turns into a whole discussion about game design, monetization, current gaming cultures, Sony making non-consumer friendly moves; you know, down the gaming rabbit hole.
