Starting Point

This is it.  Corey spends the entire podcast trying to get Brian to admit that he regrets purchasing a Nintendo Switch.  Corey may fail spectacularly, but Brian does give a very honest assessment of the Switch and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.  We focus a lot of time on the missing online services and where you can get all your Switch questions answered.

This week, Brian and Corey are joined by Andrew Byrd, Assistant Professor of Linguistics at the University of Kentucky.  Andrew led a team to create 2 new languages for Far Cry Primal.  Listen to us talk about the process he and his team went through and keep listening for his thoughts on World of Warcraft and the impending release of the Nintendo Switch.

In a shocking turn of events, Brian and Corey once again find themselves on opposite sides of the issues this week.  The guys talk about storage on the Nintendo Switch, Horizon Zero Dawn, and how Polygon is jumping the shark.  That last one, they actually do agree.  Corey also apologizes to everyone for the last episode.

Brian and Corey are back from the dead.  Sickness abound last week caused a skip in episodes, but we're back and slowly recovering.  This week we're talking the end of Steam's Greenlight program, the new head of Amazon's San Diego development studio, and E3 going public this year.

Corey saw all the things at PAX South this year in San Antonio, but sadly, sans Brian.  Even still, the gentlemen soldier on with a discussion of board games, video games, meetups, and some Dungeons & Dragons.  Perhaps next year we will have our own panel.  Hmmm?

Brian and Corey are using this pre-PAX South episode to discuss the worst/least favorite characters in Overwatch.  And by that, we mean, Brian unloads his Overwatch baggage into this episode.  We also talk about the newly released Lunar New Year update and we try to contain our excitement for this teaser gif of Double Damage Games' next project.

Brian and Corey have both watched the Nintendo Switch Presentation and surprise, surprise, they have differing views on it.  Listen now for the good, the bad, the confusion, the consternation, and the bewilderment.  Here is the list of Switch games I used from Wikipedia.

Also, huge thank you to John Montoya again for the opening music.

If there were a list of things Brian and Corey can't stop talking about, you know the Nintendo Switch would be on that list - along with World of Warcraft (Corey), Persona (Brian), Blizzard (Corey), No Man's Sky (Corey), MapleStory 2 (Corey), you get the idea.  We're talking about the upcoming Nintendo Direct regarding the Switch including pricing, hard drives, pack-in titles, etc.  We also touch on Scalebound's cancelation, a record-breaking number of concurrent users on Steam, Super Mario Happy Meals, and the possible reboot of an amazing game show.

After a inauspicious start to the podcast, Brian and Corey discuss the games they are most excited about 2017.  That includes games they themselves may not top their personal lists, but rather that they even exist in the first place.

Brian and Corey have returned from festive gatherings to say goodbye to Carrie Fisher and to 2016.  We talk about Star Citizen changing engines, Amazon's Digital Day (article here or direct to Amazon).  Of course, we also talk Steam Sale and the strange yet alluring call of Frog Fractions 2.  Here's the link to Frog Fractions 1 on the web.
