LAST WORD RADIO

2023 in gaming has officially begun with some major releases, One Piece Odyssey, and some smaller ones, including Space for the Unbound. Sean has some significant impressions of both titles.Unfortunately, the big tech layoffs have hit Xbox and Bethesda, especially for many at 343 Industries, which has put the future of the Halo franchise in doubt. Marc wonders if this is more of the same bad news for Microsoft, especially when paired with the news that Google and NVIDIA have also voiced concerns over the Activision-Blizzard deal too. Could this make it even tougher for the big purchase to go through?The only thing that seemed to go right in video game-related things was the NPD sales for the year and The Last of Us HBO show premiere. Aside from thoughts on the first episode, there are also discussions on Callisto Protocol's low sales, Ubisoft's underperforming in a variety of areas, Square-Enix officially announcing the end of support for Marvel's Avengers, and much more.You can also watch this episode on video via the W2M Network Youtube channel.

The guys are back with another busy week of content. Today, they start by examining some Vancouver Canucks news. Starting with the inevitable firing of Bruce Boudreau. The guys break it down and ask why it even makes sense to bring in a guy like Rick Tochett. Additionally, they look at the Andre Kuzmenko signing that broke today. Once again asking why Vancouver felt they needed to make this move.

From there, they shift to a trade that took place involving mostly minor swaps. However, it is a trade nonetheless. Finally, they end the podcast by looking at a pair of articles that evaluates where each NHL head coach is at as well as what Jacob Chychrun's most likely trade destination is. Ranking the seven teams listed from one to seven in terms of making the most sense to no sense at all. Tune in for all of this and more, with the Mnm Hockey Podcast!

This episode was originally recorded on January 7, 2023... (Sean is having a hard time finding computer access to edit due to his living situation. Also, apologies, Sean was sick during the recording so there are some audible sniffles here and there.)

Sean and Marc are back to discuss the possibility of getting that long-rumored Final Fantasy IX Remake, but that may not be the only one, as there are now rumors of a Persona 3 Remake as well.

Sony also took to CES to make some big announcements including their version of a disability controller called Project Leonardo, the announcement that 30 Million PS5s have been sold, and even Neil Druckmann had some news about a possible Last of Us Part 3 too.

Plus, Square-Enix is still stuck on the blockchain, the System Shock Remake could be out soon, Sean's beat Crisis Core FF VII Reunion, and now is playing the Original Final Fantasy VII too. Marc keeps going on World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, and much more.

The guys also give out their Top 10 Most Anticipated Games of 2023 in the special topic of the show!

In this episode of the Necessary Roughness Podcast, host Nikolas Donadic dives into the NFL Divisional weekend matchups. He also gives his thoughts on the Lamar Jackson drama in Baltimore, touches on how Kirk Cousins’ final pass against the Giants perfectly encapsulates his career, and can’t help but pat himself on the back after a perfect weekend of picks. Enjoy the show and join us next weekend for the following episode!

Alex is back with another episode after the Ottawa Senators took Game 1 of the Pittsburgh Penguins Home vs Home series! It was a thrilling game, which he discussed on the LockedOn Penguins podcast. Now, the host of that podcast Hunter Hodies joins Alex on the Last Word on Sens podcast to discuss the Sens, Pens and more.

The guys compare the two teams' season and how similar they actually are. Examining the lack of depth and that at times goaltending has hurt them, although for two different reasons. As well as injuries being key factors in tougher seasons than both fanbases were hoping for. Hunter also talks about what it is like watching Claude Giroux on another team, as well as who and what surprised him while watching Ottawa play. Did anyone catch him off-guard as an outsider watching the team for the first time this season? Tune in to find out!

Alex and Chace are back with another week of content! This week, they start by looking at the Pavel Zacha signing. Giving their thoughts on the player and deal. Alex isn't too sure why this deal needed to be made now. As well as what the long-term angle is. However, when they switch to the new Matt Boldy deal, the guys feel a lot better about things.

From there, they take a look at an article on an Edmonton Oilers trade proposal brought up by Jason Bukala. The article proposes a trade idea that Alex and Chace simply can't support, which also leads into a discussion on what people are watching in Edmonton this year.

Finally, Alex gives Chace a trade target he thinks would fit well with the Toronto Maple Leafs. He gives his reasons why and the guys discuss it before also moving on to where Timo Meier may land if he is traded at all. Tune in for all of this and more, with the MnM Hockey Podcast!

Alex is back for another week of Ottawa Senators content! Today, he has Tyler Ray making his return to the podcast. Together, the two look at the last three games of the Sens season (recorded before the Saturday night debacle). Highlighting what they liked, disliked, and overall trends of the team.

From there, the two discuss the Matt Dumba trade rumours that are starting to circulate and discuss why it likely wouldn't be a good idea for Ottawa on multiple levels. Finally, they end the podcast by looking at some mid-season Ottawa Senators season awards. Starting with best forward and best defenceman, both Alex and Tyler highlight their case for who has been the best. After that, they switch to team MVP, best rookie, and most surprising player.

Getting to hit on all of these categories really highlights how many different players there are to discuss on this Sens team. As well as why it is frustrating they're not higher in the standings.

In this episode of the Necessary Roughness Podcast, host Nikolas Donadic dives into the NFL Super Wild Card weekend matchups. He also touches on 2023’s rendition of “Black Monday,” wonders if the Mike Williams injury is a fireable offense, and gives his predictions for the rest of this year’s NFL Playoffs. Enjoy the show and join us next weekend for the following episode!

Alex and Chace are back with another episode of the MnM Hockey Podcast! Today, they take a look at the 2022-23 NHL Awards as we approach the mid-season mark. Both guys have written down who they would have as winners for each award if the season were to end today. Starting with the Calder, the guys surprisingly have a similar list. However, that is one of the last awards for a while you can say that about.

They go through all the major awards including the Selke, Hart, Vezina, and Norris. The guys have also made up their own award. They are naming it, the Tage Thompson most improved award. Given to a player that they have deemed most improved vs what was expected heading into the season. Trying to focus on underlying numbers instead of just someone with a high shooting percentage, the guys give an interesting list of names.

Originally Recorded on 12/21/22. This is just a straight up goof. Sean thought he had posted the audio version and turns out he did not.Unfortunately, due to further personal issues for Sean, we haven’t been able to keep a set schedule, but at least we do have another episode of Video Games 2 the MAX for ya.Although the Game Awards have passed, there’s been quite a bit of fallout from it that isn’t just the announcements and awards, (although the guys are going to discuss some of their favorite things from it and about the show in general), such as the show doing incredibly well in viewership numbers, more information on some of the announcements, criticism towards Xbox for basically no showing the event, especially when their rivals did have announcements at the Game Awards, and more.Microsoft is seemingly making more strides in concessions to help the Activision-Blizzard deal go through, including offering Call of Duty on PS Plus and offering that 10-year deal as well. Then, there’s the other side of it where the FTC is suing to block the acquisition, but the EU and CMA may be heading the other way on it. At least there is some interesting news on the Game Pass front with a possible ad-supported tier coming and that High on Life is doing great numbers on the service.Plus, Sean is excited that the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters are finally coming to consoles. The Amazon God of War show is gonna be EPIC. Henry Cavill leaves the Superman role but now looks to be starting a Warhammer movie universe.Sean and Marc have both played Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, Sean is loving Chained Echoes, and much more.You can also watch this episode on video via the W2M Network Youtube channel: https://youtu.be/rbusx-6m-8k- Plugs -Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/aydMgvUN9dVisit Our Website: https://w2mnet.com/Follow us on Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@w2mnetwork2Follow Us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/w2mnetworkSean Twitter: https://twitter.com/W2MSeanMarc Twitter: https://twitter.com/HumanityPlagueFollow us on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/w2mnetworkFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/w2mnetwork/Follow Us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/W2MNetwork
