Infinite Respawn Podcast

Oak Tree is back from vacation just as the rest of the Infinite Respawn crew is leaving on theirs! We say goodbye to a gaming website and one of our favorite animators from Rooster Teeth. We made a top 4 list other than our mothers' and Oak tells the story of an epic battle he watched while in the world of Game of War.  While Oak was gone, Grif completed Kingdom Hearts and Bulletstorm while all he could do is play a little bit of the remastered Grim Fandango.  Grif talks about Red's philosophical view on gaming as he got frustrating during the last part of his Conker's Bad Fur Day stream.  Grif shares that her parents believe they are now "video gamers", and that her dad gets enjoyment out of Uncharted 2?!  Oak tells some of his experiences at Disney and his dad's ability to just fall asleep anywhere.  People go gaga over the Persona 5 trailer, what do we think? Grif and Oak discuss bad guys and loathed heroes.  What Lego game is Grif excited about buying?  Nintendo is giving you Valentine cards?  This and more on Infinite Respawn!!

This week's show is shorter than usual due to Oak's vacation! Grif's still working on Kingdom Hearts, she shares her frustrations and more! Oak is addicted to a mobile game that almost got him in trouble on the job. In a follow up to one of last week's stories, several CS:GO players were banned for tampering with the outcome of games. Nintendo changes their YouTube content policy and has sparked quite a debate. EA's looking into new sales models and considering something they call "Free-to-Start"... which is really a nice way of saying "demo". Or is it? Ubisoft is cutting some players' access to Far Cry 4 and Assassin's Creed Unity after a bit of credit card fraud. Mortal Kombat X introduced a new fighter this week. Grif is pretty excited to see Ermac as well as several other fighters in the next edition of this button mashing classic. Ken Levine opens up on Twitter about his new project. And Gearbox is ready to work on the next Borderlands game! All this and more on Infinite Respawn!

We start this week off with a bang and talk about the Kickstarter for Exploding Kittens.  (A pun right out of the gate, we know, we're fired...)  Grif plays tons of Saints Row and Oak Tree gets into the Bully mindset.  Microsoft held their Windows 10 event at which they unveiled their new HoloLens, a holographic headset that is said to blend the real and virtual world together.  What does this mean for the future of gaming?  Elder Scrolls Online is dropping their subscription fee.  We take a look at a list of upcoming IPs that should be a bit outside of the usual gaming box.  We also talk about games that were announced with much excitement then went quiet.  Are those games still coming?  Should we still be excited?  A Destiny player mods his controller to level a character while he sleeps.  This topic starts a fiery debate between our hosts about ethics and ingenuity.  Borderlands announces The Handsome Collection and it comes with some pretty interesting bonuses.  The CS:GO community is in the midst of a betting scandal and Dying Light's Be The Zombie mode will now be free for all.  We also find out what happens when elders play GTA V.  Turns out it's really awesome!  All this and more on Infinite Respawn!

This week Oak Tree plays a lot of FIFA while Grif plays a lot of games in general. She recaps her week of gaming including Five Nights at Freddy's 2, I Am Bread, Goat Simulator, WoW, Kingdom Hearts 1.5, and Uncharted 2. The 10 Year Anniversary statues that Blizzard sent to it's "most loyal" fans are now turning up on eBay. Naughty Dog is aiming for Uncharted 4 to be the best of the series to date. H1Z1 launches on Steam Early Access. Positive expectations for the game quickly turn to disappointment, unfortunately. The stand alone Saints Row DLC, Gat Out of Hell, launches this week and one of our hosts is overly excited. GTA V was delayed on PC again, but Rockstar is offering a sweet deal to make up for it. Far Cry 4 got a lot more exciting though it isn't because of something cool in the story. Can our hosts turn the shooter into a wildlife documentary? The Dead Rising movie is said to be the Indiana Jones of the zombie world. Just what does that mean? Oak Tree argues for stripper poles to be added to Assassin's Creed Unity. Nintendo Direct had a few highlights and the debate continues on the best Zelda game ever. This and more on Infinite Respawn!

This week Oak shares some vacation stories and chats about a Dragon Age mishap.  Grif started Kingdom Hearts 1.5 and tries to tell Oak about it without any spoilers.  She is also dreading going back for another shift at Freddy Fazbear's pizza!  Riot has great things in store for League of Legends players including a mystery gift for good behavior and a way to eliminate lag.  The Game Developers Choice Awards have been announced.  Our hosts share their thoughts on the nominees and honorable mentions.  Is it possible Grif and Oak both missed the best part of Destiny?  There's a new archive for tons of old Dos based games that you can play for free!  Friday the 13th has a game on the way.  Is Grif experiencing gamer burn out or has she just been burned by the industry too often recently?  Where should GTA 6 be set?  A real estate company has an idea for the perfect locale.  Dying Light gameplay sparks a discussion about how to make the zombie genre better.  Why do Playstation controllers feel so much different than Xbox controller to some people?  And can games bring about real social change?  All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn!

This week's episode was recorded live via Twitch! The audio will be a little different, but we promise we're still the same goofy hosts you love!

Japan is getting an exclusive PS4 console that Grif is coveting. PSN and XBL were both taken down by hackers, a most unpleasant Christmas present from the self-proclaimed cyber grinches. Nintendo won a few key patent battles. And the defunct S.T.A.L.K.E.R. studio is back in business. Will this stop some IP poachers from perusing their own version of the series?
