I Am The Podcast Now

It’s been a while, and after a short break the boys are back! A lot to catch up on and talk about. Here what the guys have been up to, what games they’re looking forward to, and what shows and movies they all have seen the past few months. Also, we finally get back to Kyle’s corner!

Welcome back to another episode! This week, the guys are back and we dive into the Kendrick and Drake beef, some Gran Turismo 7, Snow Runner, and Helldivers 2. We also explore the trading card hustle, the intense action of Grayzone Warfare, and the exciting world of Smite 2. Plus, we discuss the epic series, Blood of Zeus and a few other movies. Tune in for a mix of gaming news, music drama, and pop culture insights!

In this month’s gaming update, I squeezed in an episode despite the crew being busy. Helldivers 2 continues to be a blast with new updates and surprising discoveries (who knew salutes opened item pods?).

Escape from Tarkov, however, left me frustrated. Battle State Games is charging a ridiculous $250 on top of the Edge of Darkness price for what was promised as free DLC. It feels unfair, especially for those who bought in expecting free updates.

Thankfully, there’s a new contender: Gray Zone Warfare. It has a Tarkov vibe with a dash of DayZ’s menus, but without the outrageous paywall for PvE! It’s a bit clunky at first, but once you tweak the settings, it’s a fun and customizable experience. Plus, no need to pay extra to play with friends!

Speaking of city builders, I tried Manor Lords. The graphics are amazing, and the systems are complex, but it’s a bit too slow for me. Gathering resources with families and carts feels tedious, and speeding up time doesn’t quite capture the experience I was looking for. Maybe next time, war!

On a brighter note, I snagged a beta key for Stormgate, an upcoming RTS game. As a huge fan of Starcraft, Command & Conquer, and Warcraft 3, I’m excited to see how it stacks up. Here’s to hoping it lives up to the hype!

That’s all I have for this month. Hopefully, the crew and I will be back next time. Until then, happy gaming!

Hoppy Easter everyone! It’s been one crazy month, but JRabbit was able to come in for a few minutes to give his take on the month. Tune in!

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR to those who celebrate! We want to welcome you all back to another episode of I Am The Podcast Now. J2abbit is back, but unfortunately Grandpa Garp couldn’t return as he is busy adulting. Some new and impressive games have dropped this year and we jump right into hell with Helldivers and Palworld. The guys then switch gears to talk about other games and even some TV Shows and movies they recommend you all to watch. Be sure to tune in for our question of the month!

Happy New Year everyone! For the first episode of 2024, we do things a little different. BleaK and Grandpa Garp talk about all things music, like why music is important to them, their favorite video game soundtracks, artists, and songs from 2023. Tune in, turn it up, kick back and enjoy the music!
