Starting Point episodes

  • When Ubisoft Goes Soft

    Brian and Corey are getting regular again, this time talking about Valve dumping developer Digital Homicide after they started suing users for bad reviews.  Brian laments the delay of South Park: The Fractured But Whole into 2017 and then wonders aloud how will Ubisoft hold together their fiscal 2016.

  • Segues and Terrorflops

    Corey is on point all evening bringing up the news everyone's talking about.  Brian is on point in his ability to push Corey's buttons.  The guys talk about the delay of The Last Guardian, Gamespot building a faux-PS4 Pro, and Brian's thoughts of season 2 of Overwatch on Xbox One.  Corey then says goodbye to Chris Metzen and hello to Rob Pardo's new studio - Bonfire Studios.

  • Shaky Returns

    Brian is back from new parent hiatus and moving, and Corey welcomes him back with the technical issues and perceived lack of value for No Man's Sky.  Plus, it wouldn't be an episode without talking Blizzard, especially since it's Legion release day.  I know we don't have our opening music attached to this episode, but it's on my other computer.  

    A sincere thank you to each and every one of you that have stuck by us during this time off.

  • The Poop Episode

    Brian and Corey have your next episode all set out for you and somehow it derails in and around poop.  Brian talks life as a new father and then it translates into the possibilities of a handheld Nintendo NX and Blizzcon.

  • Pokemon is a GO

    Sorry for the lateness of this episode.  Brian and Corey actually recorded this last week and Brian just didn't get it together until now.  As you can surmise, the guys are talking Pokemon GO in this return episode after the arrival of Daria Jane Bentley on July 11th.  Not only is the episode late, but it is the second run of the episode as Zencastr lost most of the first run.  

    You can follow the proud father's dotage on Twitter with the hashtag #dailydaria.

  • Riding the Rails

    Brian and Corey are just two hobos riding the rails, chatting about Red Dead Redemption on Xbox One Backwards Compatability, Train Simulator on Steam, Xbox One Avatars and Marvel Heroes.  Take a trip with us, won't you?

  • Points for Predictions

    Back in episode 85, Brian and Corey made some pre-E3 predictions and those choices have come home to roost.  Follow along as Brian runs down the list of prognostications and we discuss our biggest hits and misses.  Be sure to write in to let us know whether or not you think Corey deserves an extra half point #TeamCorey or should the ruling stand #TeamBrian or whether or not Corey should forget the point and just play Maple Story 2 #MapleStory2forCorey.

  • Gushes and Grumbles of E3

    Fresh off his trip to E3 2016, Tony Polanco of Geek.com joins Brian and Corey for a chance to talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of E3 2016.  This conversation is intermittantly derailed by talk of Mighty No. 9's release and the effect Kickstarter has on the industry.  We also get into the best and worst Tony saw on the show floor as well as his run-in in Hideo Kojima.

  • Kojima's Hot Mix Tape

    In this jam-packed E3 2016 episode, Brian and Corey welcome Chris Bergman on to the show.  You may have heard him on the DLC podcast or know him as the man behind Choremonster, but today, he's our videogame expert as we go through the gamut on topics from Legend of Zelda to PlayStation VR to Titanfall 2.

  • Pokemon SNAP QED

    It's an episode full of E3 2016 Games we want to see and bold predictions as Brian and Corey pull out their crystal balls (from their circus days together).  It's prognostication as its pointless finest.  Find out the games we're dying to see and exactly how Brian thinks Nintendo is going to win E3 this year.   (Hint: it's in the title)

    Dearest listeners, Brian was rushing last night and missed some feedback.  We'll definitely get to it, so please keep tweeting the podcast at @astartingpoint, Corey or Brian.  Or simply email us at StartingPointFeedback [at] Gmail dot com.  Thanks!
