John, Finn, Justin, and Reb talk about all the news and impressions from our visits to GDC and PAX East (joined by friend of the show Josh Silverman from Constantly Calibrating).

NPD’s Mat Piscatella joins the crew to talk about February sales charts, Anthems surprising debut, Cuphead on switch and Google kicking off its game streaming platform.

Derek, Justin, and Brandon talk about their experiences with the recently released Devil May Cry 5, where the game succeeds, and what (if any) areas the game falls short in.

The SDGC crew are joined by The Hashtagonist in a discussion about Microsoft's changing placement in the gaming industry, and how Google might be trying to fit into all of it. Also, we talk about Anthem's apparent struggles, especially with The Division 2 looking to take what little attention it has away from it. Bonus: who makes the best burgers?

A week out from launch, SDGC's John and Zach along with friend-of-the show Sam sit down to discuss From Software's Sekiro Shadows Die Twice. The action RPG set in Japan marries the developer's tough-as-nails gameplay with more traditional western design philosophy. The game releases March 22, 2019.

The SDGC crew are joined by friend of the show, former gaming insider/influencer, and industry PR man, Shinobi602 (who may or may not look like Newman, the world may never know). We talk about his move from internet personality to gaming career man, chuckle about Nintendo's bird-tush VR headset for Switch, and celebrate the anniversary of Mass Effect 3. We also discuss the upcoming releases of Devil May Cry V and Sekiro, and how these types of games fit into the gaming landscape where single-player games are supposedly dead. And you KNOW we always have time to talk about workplace culture... this time good news for once!

John, Reb, Jeff, Brandon, and Derek tackle the full implications of THQ Nordic's willingness to host an official AMA on a known den of iniquity. In less upsetting news, there's also Pokemon.

Jeff and Justin discuss the dos and don'ts of movie trailers, and dive into some of their recent favourites.

When Game Dad is away, the kids get to play. In a bleak week of game news, the crew carries on and celebrates everyone favorite game exec as he announces retirement. Topics include Anthem, Yakuza, executive change ups and more.

In this episode of After Hours, John is joined by two guest to discuss (and SPOIL) Square Enix's long-awaited Kingdom Hearts 3.
