Gaming Tangents

Bravo! Bravo! Menji and Maverick have a musical journey down the soundwaves of some of their favorite videogame scores. We cover all the music possible that one can when you're not focused. So like...I don't know...5?

Starting what will likely be ongoing series of looking at games on the big screen, Menji and Maverick look at Hollywood's....ehem....less than stellar first few attempts at converting ridiculous stories into even more ridiculous stories. Probably our best episode yet which means it's probably all downhill from here. It's been nice while it lasted, folks!

In this episode, Menji and Maverick are joined in the Cross Platform studio by a special guest.  Together they discuss the heyday of importing games from Japan and it's ongoing (or not so on going) importance.

This week your boys discuss Nintendo's first foray into the mobile market with MiiTomo and the bigger question of whether mobile games will take a seat in history as the franchises of old did before them. Oh, and we might talk about Batman v Superman as well...who knows?

Maverick double downs on a pair of Nintendo-based controversies: The mysterious disappearance of Mario Maker stages and Nintendo sets Easy Mode on Easy Mode.

Them Cross Platform boys finally quell the argument over the importance of good graphics in video games. The conversation will be so insightful and conclusive, it'll almost feel like we haven't answered anything at all.

Menji and Maverick spend their time saying goodbye to an old friend and wishing happy birthday to the perennial fighting game franchise; including our best Street Fighter moments and the lackluster debut of Street Fighter V.

Maverick returns to California and joins Menji in the Cross Platform studio for a special home show where they discuss their history with gaming and why they love it.
