MHG EP 35: To Exploit, Or Not To Exploit?

Recorded on Friday, April 15, 2016.

This week, we’re cutting out the fat. The Mules go back to basics, kicking it old school with some brews and some good discussion.

First, we answer your questions sent via Twitter on #wordonthetweet. Hit us up @mulehorngaming with the hashtag #wordonthetweet for your chance to be featured.

Tom Clancy’s The Division has been plagued with glitches and an unfortunate exploit affecting the game’s newest activity, Falcon Lost. Even since recording, the exploit has been patched and another has surfaced. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Meanwhile, Destiny seems to have gotten back up on its feet. The April update has rejuvenated a good portion of the the Destiny community, but already eyes are looking forward for more content. A recent conspiracy is pointing towards something big in September. The Mules dish.

We hope you enjoy our off-the-cuff approach in this episode. Thanks for hanging!

And remember… When in doubt, blow it up!

MHG EP 34: Sniper, No Sniping!

Recorded on Thursday, April 7, 2016.

Well, it happened. Bungie has concluded their series of streams by revealing a multitude of PvP and weapon changes due for Destiny on April 12th. Redeemed, reformed, and fully pardoned for his crimes against the podcasting world, Captain McShivers returns to take point on the many factoids featured in this week’s Twitch stream. Not everybody is happy about the action taken, or not taken, in regards to warlocks. Will snipers survive this meta shift? The Mules engage.

Your #wordonthetweet questions are read and, sometimes painstakingly, answered. I hope you’re happy with yourselves. Tweet @mulehorngaming with the hashtag #wordonthetweet for your chance to be featured.

Finally, Tom Clancy’s The Division has a completely new loot and crafting environment inbound with the Incursions update on April 12th. What does it mean for us as players? We work out our own interpretations of what the update fully entails. We’re also slightly concerned about the Dark Zone, the longevity of The Division, and if changing the rules will become inevitable to keep players engaged.

Thanks for hanging with us! Please rate us on your favorite app if you enjoy making MHG part of your week.

And remember… When in doubt, blow it up!

MHG EP 33: Better Late Than Neververse

Recorded on Thursday, March 31, 2016.

Despite some serious technical difficulties this week, Episode 33 of MHG has returned from the dead! In much the same way, our favorite game to love/hate is coming back with plenty of gusto! With reveal streams teasing our itching trigger fingers, the Mules dig in to what Bungie has planned for Destiny’s April update. Plus, another big D is issuing their own free update. On the same day. Yeah.

We’re thrilled to be joined by MulehornGaming.com contributor and Destiny correspondent, Captain McShivers, who leads the charge on dissecting Bungie’s latest reveal stream. Is this just a chance to dress up your guardians in fancy swag, or will there be some meat and potatoes included in this update?

Tom Clancy’s The Division has the Incursions update down the pipeline for April. A recent stream teased us with some information regarding the new activity called incursions as well as the other additions inbound for our favorite urban RPG shooter… And we are excited.

Got a question or topic you’d like us to dish on? Our newest segment, Word on the Tweet, involves you! We will read your questions and comments on the show and do our best to form coherent sentences! Tweet @mulehorngaming with the hashtag #wordonthetweet for your chance to be featured.

When in doubt, blow it up!

MHG EP 32: Two Big Updates For Two Big Ds

Recorded on Thursday, March 24, 2016.

See what I did there?

In all seriousness, it’s an exciting time to be a player of The Division or Destiny. Both titles have had their relative cats let out of the bag. If you’ve been torn between these two games, your decision may become more difficult as this year goes on... Or maybe it will become easier.

Rocket League creator, Psyonix, has been blazing a path forward and into uncharted territory. Cross-console play is on the horizon. Microsoft and Sony have been called out, but will these giants of gaming play along?

Finally, get ready for a heavy-duty examination of the recent and upcoming updates for Tom Clancy’s The Division and Destiny. The former, young and spry, is still riddled with a few troubling bugs and glitches. The studio, Massive is just as quick to steal our hearts with effective solutions to the most annoying problems. Destiny still has a thrall in this fight, and has shown us one out of three highly-anticipated reveal streams on Twitch highlighting the infamous “April Update”. The Mules discuss, praise, berate, and share their opinions on everything.

Thanks as always for joining us on this double dipped episode of the Mulehorn Gaming Podcast!

When in doubt, blow it up!

MHG EP 31: The Division Has Landed W/ Special Guest, Remy Ransom

Recorded on Thursday, March 10, 2016.

This week we are all graced by the wisdom, and emasculated by the beard of our special guest, Remy Ransom (NinjaPancake.com, My Morning Coffee). We get the usual scoop on our friend’s gaming history, but also some juicy details on future podcasts planned for Ninja Pancake.

First up, we’re trying out a new segment called Muleflix. This is where we will talk about news and gossip surrounding movies and/or series we’re interested in. Right now, rivalries and wicked match-ups are all the rage with Superman and Batman, Iron Man and Captain America… Who is superior?

Mass Effect Andromeda has lost another important figure in its development. Is it business as usual? Is there something amiss? The Mules dish on their opinions.

It’s no secret that we have all been looking forward to Tom Clancy’s The Division. The game is here, and The Mules have a lot to say. At least half of this show covers The Division. We give our thoughts on the ups and downs of this new third-person-shooter. There’s plenty to love in the world of The Division, but we like to be fair and square, so qualms are discussed as well. There are some tips on phoenix credits and then we dig into update notes and appreciate everything planned for this game.

Thanks for choosing to take back New York with us.

When in doubt, blow it up!

MHG EP 30: The Division Prerelease Hype and Content Roadmap

Recorded on Thursday, March 3, 2016.

We are happy to celebrate the last week anyone has to go on living without playing Tom Clancy’s The Division. Looking to be one behemoth of a title, we’ve finally got more than bare bones to work with so far as the ‘roadmap’ of content designed to last us through 2016.

While this is a Division-heavy episode, we do talk a bit about Xbox Head, Phil Spencer’s recent announcements at the Spring Showcase in San Francisco. Big things are a comin’ for Xboxers in the future, but how soon is still a mystery…

Joining us is good friend and MulehornGaming.com contributor, Gravy Kingpin! Recently, Mr. Kingpin wrote an article addressing the rampant issue of people comparing The Division with Destiny. We go over a few of his key points and all take turns setting the record straight.

Microtransactions, DLC, and Year One content for The Division are discussed at length. We have trading, base upgrades, incursions, conflicts, and gear sets. We even have a few patch notes to look over! We hope you’re as excited for The Division as we are after listening in this week.

When in doubt, blow it up!

MHG EP 29: The Division, Mass Effect, and Destiny. Oh My! W/ Special Guest, NashDaddy88

Recorded on Thursday, Feb 25, 2016.

The Mules are happy to welcome back FoGger, raid Sherpa, and leader of Nash Dynasty, NashDaddy88. He lets us in on a new project he and his three brothers have been working on, and it may just be a new podcast with an amazing name…

Following the recent departure of Mass Effect Andromeda’s lead writer, and subsequent hiring by Bungie, we speculate on the implications and reflect on what has gone wrong, and right, with both IPs. Speaking of wrong, Thorn has been seen in the Iron Banner this time around. The Circle of Meta sparks a constructive conversation between our hosts, and we have some ideas on the subject of making the best use of Destiny’s existing content.

Finally, we all dish on our latest favorite, The Division, including the recent open beta stats and our opinions, Xbox One exclusives, and that pesky turret we finally got to try out. Get our official ratings on the beta version of the game and wet that whistle with accompanying Division news like the new book, Uplay rewards, and another confirmed feature all of us are kind of excited about.

We at MHG thank you all for your continued support and making us part of your weekly routine. Sometimes serious, sometimes irreverent, always explosive…

Blow it up!

MHG EP 28: Profane and Profane Accessories w/ Special Guest, STYLES_monster

Recorded on Thursday, Feb 11, 2016.

This week we’re joined by a friend and talented Twitch streamer, STYLES_monster aka Styles_hack on twitter. Styles takes us back, detailing his history in gaming as well as experience with helping to design the Xbox One (plus another awesome and secretive project). What the hell is the difference between AR and VR? Styles answers.

And what of the “great content drought of 2016”? The Mules all share a few thoughts and details regarding what are perhaps some under-hyped games due to release later this year.

And, of course we get into Tom Clancy’s The Division. Styles shares a few experiences from the alpha/beta days, but wait. There’s more? Much more! We’ve got an open beta incoming, juicy rumors surrounding the end-game of The Division, actual patch notes, and a super-secret hat!

If you’re good, we’ll even talk about Destiny a little bit.

Remember you can email us at [email protected] or leave us a voicemail to be used in the podcast!

When in doubt, blow it up!

MHG EP 27: Blow It Up, Dark Zone Style w/ G1nt3r of TheDivisionForums.com

Recorded on Thursday, Feb 4, 2016.

This week we’ve got the full MHG crew back together, half of us fuming at the mouth from PAX South and all four of us can’t wait to talk about Tom Clancy’s The Division’s closed beta. We discuss everything we liked, and didn’t like, with special guest G1nt3r (That’s Ginter if you don’t speak 1337), creator and admin of TheDivisionForums.com!

After a brief gaming history from G1nt3r, we dive right into the dark zone! Open beta rumors from Xbox Italy, season passes with exclusive content, and the results of a poll on MulehornGaming.com are all covered. We then share some of our favorite moments playing The Division, what we’d like to see in the future, and speculation on… Raids in The Division??? Hell, we’re even pretty sure there are Assassin’s Creed crossovers in this game.

Dig up the scoop on our crazy conspiracies and get ready to BLOW IT UP on another episode of the Mulehorn Gaming Podcast!
