MHG EP 43: Rise of Preorderhorn

Recorded on Thursday, June 9, 2016.

Despite multiple promotional material leaks, Bungie has delivered on their promise of showcasing their next expansion for Destiny without a hitch. A release date has been carved in iron and many details regarding the continuation of our guardian’s legend were revealed.

Joining us this week is Mulehorn Gaming contributor and Destiny lore scryer, McShivers. First we’ll talk a bit about Microsoft’s latest updates to the Xbox One dashboard including our favorite rampant AI, Cortana.

On to Destiny! Is it better to burn out than to fade away? Is our legend becoming more… Legendary? The Iron Lords are going to return to deal with the threat of peg-legged dregs! The Mules discuss at length the many facets of Destiny’s expansion, Rise of Iron, including preorder bonuses, the fate of last-generation consoles, new locations, lore, and death Zambonis.

Your #wordonthetweet submissions lead us into more Destiny conversation as well as video game soundtracks, Overwatch and Diablo, E3, Watchdogs 2, and tacos. Yes, tacos.

MHG EP 41: Who Watches the Overwatch?

Recorded on Thursday, May 26, 2016.

Greetings, Muleheads! Our good bro and MHG contributor, Chris AKA The2Wolvz is joining the mule-pack for some hilarious discussion in our latest episode. Chris shares his gaming history and some perspective from the Sony side of things, including thoughts on No Man’s Sky.

Next, we dive head-first into potentially game changing news regarding Xbox One and Microsoft! We finally have some details on the elusive Xbox One and a half… Two… 4K… Thing.

By now you’ve heard your friends raging about Bastion, McCree, or Torbjorn’s turrets. What the heck are they talking about? Overwatch, baby! The hype is real! Or is it? We’re soaring through the social netosphere and bringing you the latest opinions on Blizzard’s Overwatch since its release. We’ll cover tweets, polls, praises, and our concerns (now with reduced salt).

Destiny has caught some flak for titan hammers in the past… But what about BAN HAMMERS? Apparently, the final straw has landed on Bungie’s back as reports are coming in that they will issue temporary bans for unstable internet connections.

Finally, your #wordonthetweet questions have been pouring in! We’re happy to address your many questions and comments. This week: Service outages, Destiny DLC, No Man’s Sky, and Overwatch fill out our segment. Also… The one question to rule them all: Coke or Pepsi?

MHG EP 40: A Safe House Divided

Recorded on Thursday, May 19, 2016.

Overwatch is right around the corner. The Division’s update 1.2, Conflict is inbound. Doom is here. Destiny’s latest potential leak has the internet buzzing. It’s a good time to be talking about games, but what about playing them?

Microsoft has yet to reveal details regarding their mysterious new hardware, even though Sony has confirmed the Playstation 4.5. The Mules dish.

Your #wordonthetweet questions show that you all are as excited as we are to share some thoughts on gaming! This episode is for you. We’re talking about Ubisoft and streaming games, Star Wars games, and maybe spend a little too much time on The Division. We forgive ourselves.

Season passes and pre-orders: Gifts or garbage?

In a seemingly strange move, Facebook is getting into eSports. We HAVE to talk about this.

Lastly, a unique image has been circulating our social feeds, teasing at a yet-to-come Destiny expansion. It could always be a fake… But the community, and the Mules, are rife with speculation.

MHG EP 39: There’s Something About Mercy

Recorded on Thursday, May 12, 2016.

Good evening, listeners! This week our favorite salt-cured hosts pry at the nuts and bolts of the industrial gaming machine.

Your #wordonthetweet questions and comments are first in the line-up, ranging from Alderaan to Zombies. Then, a Twitter poll regarding upcoming shooters, as well as another about Overwatch, are both discussed. Also, is there a smear campaign against Call of Duty Infinite?

The rise of the Streaming Age: Twitch and eSports seem to be gaining more traction every day. Already, millions of viewers and dollars are caught up in the web of fast-paced competitive multiplayer games. Are story, solo experience, and cinematography being left to the wayside? Do PvP-centric titles deserve similar price tags?

The Mules touch on various games like Star Wars Battlefront, League of Legends and other MOBAs, Overwatch, Call of Duty, and Battlefield 1. How they all tie in to a potential overarching trend in the gaming industry may surprise you.

Many thanks are due to our newest patrons. Your support enables us to continue full-steam ahead and bring on the shenanigans every week! If you’re interested in supporting us (cancel whenever you’d like!) then hop on over to our Patreon page to make a commitment.

MHG EP 38: Cinco De Greedo

Recorded on Thursday, May 5, 2016.

In honor of May the Fourth (be with you) and Revenge of the Fifth, the Mules have dedicated this podcast to Star Wars. We hope you’ll join us on our journey to a galaxy far, far away in this special cast!

Being that we usually talk a lot about video games, we’ll start off by discussing our favorite and most memorable Star Wars gaming experiences including KotoR, The Force Unleashed, Battlefront, and some more obscure titles.

The results of a Jedi VS Sith Twitter poll will be discussed. It might get dirty.

Good things seem to be on the horizon of Star Wars’ future with the recent announcement of a Han Solo movie. We’ll also cover, and update, some of our conspiracies regarding Episode VII and beyond in the light of Claudia Gray’s new Leia-centric novel, Bloodline.

Lastly, we received some great questions via #wordonthetweet! Topics include Episode VIII, Disney, spaceship design, more speculation on Rey’s family tree, and expanded universe tie-ins with the new canon.

MHG EP 36: Who Moved My Cheese?

Recorded on Thursday, April 21, 2016.

Guardian Down!

Thaddeus couldn’t be with us this week, but fear not! The remaining Mules have conjured up enough expletive-laden conversation to hold you over until our resident POP master returns.

First, we muse over the games we are playing, games we want to play, and games we are waiting for. Hero shooters are weird. Then, your #wordonthetweet questions and comments are handled with extreme precision and care. Tweet at us, bro! Hit up @MulehornGaming with the hashtag #wordonthetweet for your opportunity to be featured on the podcast!

Dirty Bombs leads the group in a summary of the story in Gears of War up until the plot of Gears of War 4, and we all chat about how the beta has been treating us.

Lastly, I hope you remembered to take your Tums because we’re dealing with some heartburns in Tom Clancy’s The Division. Featuring more cheese than Wisconsin (heyo!), the third-person looter shooter has been, for lack of better words, a Massive disappointment for some players. What’s being done about it? What are WE doing about it? The answers may surprise you.

Many thanks to our newest and bravest supporters for contributing to our plan for world domination. You can too on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=3203544&u=3203544&ty=h
