Infinite Respawn Podcast

This week's show isn't our traditional podcast, but rather a review of this year's best and worst games! There might have been alcohol involved as well. Regardless, everyone has a good time recounting some of their favorite games from 2015.

This week EVERYONE is playing ARK. Finally the game has made the jump from PC to Xbox One so Oak finally gets to join in on the dinosaur chat! There's success stories, fails, and some really random moments from the island. Chicken started Elder Scrolls Online with Vald. Kojima has officially left Konami and joined forces with Sony. Phantom Squad is poised to ruin gamers' Christmas again this year by taking down PSN and XBL. Bunige and Activision are now selling character boost for Destiny. All this and much more on this week's Infinite Respawn!

Oak finished Tomb Raider and FINALLY started Fallout 4! Is Bethesda teaching life lessons in The Commonwealth? Of course once everyone starts talking Fallout, it's hard to stop them. Luckily they managed to pull away from the topic and move on to other things. Chicken and Baka talk about their ARK tragedies. They also learn some valuable lessons through the tragedies. So at least there's that. Our hosts share some holiday gifting ideas (which you can find on our website: InfiniteResPC.com). Fallout Shelter introduced Pets with their latest update. Grif puts everyone else's Fallout Shelter Vaults to shame. Square Enix talks about why they're splitting the FF7 reboot into episodes rather than shipping it as a full game. ARK's coming to Xbox One, but our hosts seem weary of its quality. Can an alpha build of a game survive on console? Grif talks about how her Far Cry 4 Let's Play is going. Check it out on our YouTube if you haven't! All this and much more on this week's Infinite Respawn!

This week Baka, Chicken, and Grif share more of their Fallout 4 exploits. Oak talks Tomb Raider and how he failed at it. The Game Awards were held this past week. We've got all the winners, losers, and plenty of drama to go around! The big news of the night wasn't exactly a win or a loss, it was Geoff Keighley calling out Konami for not letting Kojima attend the show. Final Fantasy VII got a new trailer. Cloud has noodle arms. Awesome. Speaking of new trailers, Far Cry Primal also got a new one to show off! The crew talks about what they did and didn't like about the new footage. TellTale announced that they're working on a Batman game. And of course, the guys finish the show off with more Fallout 4 talk. All this and much more on Infinite Respawn!

This week's show is pretty light on news and pretty heavy on random stories from the crew. In their post-Thanksgiving bliss they talk about Fallout 4, glitches, and other fun stuff! Chicken tells of his epic battle with three big bads in Fallout 4. There's also fun stories from GTA online! Oak talks about frustrations with Tomb Raider. Open world RPGs foster everyone's inner hoarder. Civ5's map generator is a jerk, but Baka and Chicken wouldn't let that stand. Some of the crew are interested in picking up new D&D party members, but beware of angering Baka! Never make the DM angry. All this and much more on this week's Infinite Respawn!

Tech issues abound this week! Due to some complications Oak wasn't able to be part of this episode. The show must go on! Grif, Chicken, and Baka keep things moving along. Baka's salty that he still hasn't been able to play Fallout 4. He also got himself in a bit of trouble since he's been playing WoW while he waits for Fallout 4. Grif started her Let's Play of Far Cry 4. She's still terrible at stealth, but she's not bad at hitting people in the face with rocks. Chicken spent a while playing GTA Online with friends, stories abound! Kotaku's lamenting the loss of a few bridges they burned with Bethesda and Ubisoft. Our hosts talk about all the ins and outs of this one, but will they agree and take a side? Bungie wants to introduce a Recruit-A-Friend program to Destiny, but how will it work? How much will Star Wars Battlefront cost you overall? The amount might surprise you... Or not, considering the state of the industry these days. Are publishers afraid of making games that don't fit into franchises that already exist? All this and much more on this week's Infinite Respawn!

This week everyone gets wrapped up in Fallout 4! Our hosts keeps it mostly spoiler free as they chat about their favorite parts of the game from the settlements and rearranging decor to the big world to wander in. While the focus this week is mainly on Fallout 4, there are a few other topics that pop up. Cloud Strife is coming to the Super Smash Bros line up. Tomb Raider has a really neat choice mode for XB1 streamers. Nominees for The Video Game Awards have been announced. And... more Fallout 4, of course! Oak's audio is a little shaky here and there. It was a connection issues, so apologies for the quality drop here and there.

This week Baka is back! Oak talks about an indie game that he's been playing called Bedlam. Grif, Chicken, and Baka rob the neighbors in ARK and end up with a karmic win! Then its on to all things BlizzCon! Our hosts talk about all of it from Overwatch to World of Warcraft's next expac Legion to the Warcraft movie trailer. So many exciting things are on the way from Blizzard! Speaking of movies, there's a Witcher movie in the works, but CDProjektRED has nothing to do with it. Of course there's Fallout 4 hype since the launch is right around the corner! Konami shut down the LA branch that worked on Metal Gear Online. Are they coming to terms with Kojima's departure? Black Ops 3 on last gen is less than stellar when compared to the current gen version. No seriously, it's pretty awful. 343 cuts nearly half the scope off the radar map in Halo 5 and people are not exactly happy. All this and much more on Infinite Respawn!

This week Red fills in for Baka and things get weird. Wait. Aren't they always weird? Our hosts talk about their spooky stream of Damned. Giggly ghosts and stone cold killers. That's all we'll tell you beforehand. Red talks about killing tribe pets in ARK. Oak shares his calamitous Halo 5 adventure. There's a bit of contention about new mechanics and story issues, but overall the episode is Halo 5 spoiler free! Now Halo 1-3 are definitely spoiled here. Frank O'Connor talked about why Cortana is naked in the Halo serious and honestly, it's a pretty stupid reason. There was an upset in the eSports world as pro League of Legends player DoubleLift was kicked from his former team CLG, and defected to the rival TSM. Pretty big news for two of the biggest LoL teams in North America. There's also an added dose of drama  tacked on by CLG's team owner making some less than professional Tweets about the situation. David Cage's new game Detroit: Become Human is announced and it looks fantastic! All this and much more on Infinite Respawn!

This week Oak's still grinding. We told him to stop that, but he just doesn't listen. The IR ARK crew got a few new dinos for free! Too bad poor planning led to one of the new dinos' death. Grif's still working on Silent Hill Downpour. Gary is her new stalker. Why does he want so many hugs?!?! Grif's also stuck in Just Cause 2. She's usually so good with mass destruction! Japan's getting their first Pokemon Gym which is exciting news to some of the crew. Bethesda's making a Fallout beer but it may not be so great. Day One patches are becoming the new norm but is that a good thing? Both Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Halo 5 come with sizable day one patches. Will Far Cry be the next franchise Ubisoft pushes toward annualization? Konami seems confused about Kojima's employment status. Baka starts talking about nostalgic Konami games like old school Castlevainia. The crew tries to convince Grif to play Five Nights At Freddy's for Halloween but she is not having it.
