Geeking with the Moms

Linda returns to join in the conversation with Nicole and Stephen. Rumors of two new versions of the Xbox One are floating around. We'll probably hear more about them at E3. Overwatch and Battleborn developers are throwing punches at each other. Bizzard even has giant action figures (which are hilarious by the way) to promote Overwatch. There's a new trailer for Mirror's Edge Catalyst, but both Nicole and Linda will probably be too sick to play it. Stephen won't though. He never gets sick. He would even go fishing for pizza, but he's not happy about what Marvel has done to Captain America. Linda tried some Quantum Break and Nicole switched up her deck in Hearthstone.

It's Nicole and Stephen again this week. After a harrowing tale of the challenges of parenting, we talk about some news. Nintendo is going to start making movies. They were burned by that terrible Super Mario Bros. movie, but they've decided to give it another try. There's an exclusive Final Fantasy game coming to mobile platforms. Sony has announced some E3 details and a big Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 update will include a cape made out of bacon. How can you not be excided about that?

It's just Nicole and Stephen this week. We ramble about the announcement of Civilization 6, Battlefield 1, and a new Phoenix Wright game. And there's a new Pokemon trailer, but the news is dominated by Disney. The company announced this week that not only is it ending the toys-to-life Disney Infinity line, but that it's getting out of game publishing altogether. We speculate about what this could mean for Disney IP in future games, and how the toys-to-life category could be affected. Also do you know all about eSports? If you don't you probably will by the end of this year according to a new report. Then we talk about what we've been playing, including Overwatch, Koi, Uncharted 4 and, of course, Hearthstone.

The gaming industry celebrated Star Wars day in a big way. Titanfall developer Respawn Entertainment is working on a brand new Star Wars game. Sony, Microsoft and Steam all have sales on existing Star Wars games. Plus a company is making an augmented reality game similar to the one you see R2-D2 playing against Chewbacca in A New Hope. Nicole is thrilled. And of course it wouldn't be Star Wars day without a little "Han shot first" discussion. Plus we talk about the new Call of Duty game, what kids are and aren't scared of and how much of an OMG the latest episode of Game of Thrones was.

Lots of Nintendo news this week. The Nintendo NX will be coming out next year, which means Stephen lost his bet with Nicole and she'll picking what game he plays during Extra Life. Also, the new Legend of Zelda will be launching for both Wii U and NX in the spring, and the game will be playable on the show floor at E3. In fact, it will be the only Nintendo game on the show floor. Miitomo is kicking it in terms of users, and we've got the details on the next mobile games from Nintendo (yes, they are actually games) Stephen gives us the lowdown on PAX East. Plus Uncharted 4 has shipping problems and the Whispers of the Old Gods can now be heard.
