We recorded and posted at a pre-planned interval!  Success!  On this episode we'll discuss who has been successful in tackling their 2022 plans and who hasn't, chat a little on some of the recent acquisitions of Sony and Microsoft and finish it off with the latest Nintendo Direct.

It's a new year with new plans.  We'll review what we tried to accomplish last year (even if Adam doesn't want to hear from Jacob) and then see what we would like to play in 2022!  Is everything a walking sim? Would we drop everything if Zelda Breath of the Wild 2 was released? Will we once again set a new release plan for our podcast in hopes we'll stick to it this time? Find out the answers to these questions and more on our first episode of 2022!

This year has gone by fast and here we are already talking about our top 10 games we played in 2021.   As usual these lists are not limited to games released in 2021 but can be any game we played this year that we felt impacted us the most.  We both had lists neither of us could quite predict.  Join us as we close out 2021!

Halo Infinite multiplayer and campaign were released and now it's Jacob's chance to spend 2 hours talking about it but Adam won't let him.  So we'll talk about Halo a little bit and then other games that were released that we've been playing.  In the second half we'll spend time on some of the games that were announced during the game awards!

A new Animal Crossing Direct dropped and we take a look at all the new updates coming to it.  But is it enough to bring us back into a game we haven't looked at for 10-12 months?

As usual we also cover what we've been up to since the last episode.  Has Adam finished Final Fantasy 7 yet? Has Jacob started Psychonauts 2? Will we mention Game Pass yet again?  [Insert click bait style question here]? Join us and find out the answer to these questions and more!

As always we discuss what we have been playing and remind each other that we still have a backlog of games they would like to get to one day.  We also take some time to review some highlights from the recent Nintendo Direct.

On this episode of Outrun the Bear, we discuss what we've been up to over the large gap between recordings.  This includes some of the games we've been playing on game pass and our experience with Xbox Cloud Gaming

There was also a Nintendo Direct recently for Indie Games and we'll review some of the highlights.  At the end we have a deeper conversation into "12 Minutes" which they both recently completed and this will include some spoilers for the game. (You've been warned)

This episode is peppered with many Game Pass recommendations....are you listening to this Microsoft?

It's been a couple weeks since our last episode and since then a few new hardware announcements happened.  We'll chat about our opinions on those as well as discuss the current games we're playing while that backlog continues to grow.

We both thought this would be a quick episode but low and behold we got talking and it ended up being a long episode.  We both have a few games we've been playing but we spent a large amount of the time chatting about some of the highlights from E3.

As always we talk about some of the games they have completed and the games they started up.  Not much to talk about in gaming news so it was expected to be a brief episode but Adam had to tell us the ins and outs of Minecraft and Jacob had to go on about Mass Effect again.
