Starting Point

Mea Culpa from us on missing last week due to "scheduling conflicts." (aka we forgot our special podcast time)  Now, on to the show.  Corey and Brian catch-up on the relatively quiet 2 week period and talk about the new Humble Indie Bundle 15 and whether or not receiving physical objects from the Humble Bundle folks is something we want.  We also diverge a little on the increasing number of game publisher clients being installed on our computers.  Do we really need more purchasing platforms?  Let us know your thoughts via twitter or email or in the comments below.

Corey is doing Extra Life!  Support Corey while he plays games for 24 hours straight, raising money for the Children's Hospital Miracle Network.

In honor of Sony's completely uninspired naming of Project Morpheus to PlayStation VR, we named the podcast accordingly.  In this episode, Brian and Corey talk about the 2015 Tokyo Game Show.  We talk Dragon Quest Builders, Danganropa 3, losing Facebook support on Vita, PS4 price drops in Japan, Resident Evil Umbrella Corps and trailers, trailers, trailers. Also, be sure to be sure to be listening to when we find out there is a special Star Wars Battlefront Deluxe version of the game.

This week, Brian and Corey take time from their Blizzard and Half-Life 3 discussions to talk about the recent Apple event and their announcement of the new Apple TV with its new Wii-like remote.  We also discuss the new iPad Pro, the "Pencil," Harmonix's Beat Sports and the iTunes life-cycle of products.  We do also touch on our Kickstarter backing of Battle Chasers and a shout-out to the Dreamcast, celebrating its 16th birthday.

Our extravaganza blowout episode has our first guest join us on Starting Point.  Larry Asberry, Jr. (aka Bluemanrule) from the Prove Your Point podcast and the Open Forum Radio network joins Brian and Corey for what was supposed to be disagreement-filled podcast.  But will a bromance development instead?

We talk about the Star Wars Battlefront beta coming in October, Battle Chasers and then we tackle the question of whether gamers are too involved in the game development process.

Brian and Corey are a little more subdued after the last 2 raucous episodes.  In this episode, they decide to forego the 50th episode blowout for another time and focus instead on trends in gaming that give us pause.

We received email feedback and we couldn't be more excited.  Thanks to Larry aka Blumanrule from the Prove Your Point podcast for sending us an email discussing the last episode regarding the possible release of Half-Life 3.  This brought the excitement of the last episode back into the spotlight and Brian and Corey went at it again.  That is not all.  We also touched on Runic Games and their new teaser trailer for Hob as well as quickly touch on Twitch Plays Dark Souls.

After a farily decent and civilized start to the podcast, Brian and Corey return to form with one of their classic arguments discussions, this time on the rumors that Valve has no intention or motivation to deliver Half-Life 3 - based on this article.  The guys are back.  

The innocuous beginning of the podcast includes a Gamescom wrap-up, as well as Halo Wars 2, Homefront: The Revolution, World of Warcraft Legion expansion, Thimbleweed Park and plenty of disparaging remarks about Destiny.

Corey and Brian are here with plenty of Gamescom 2015 news to review.  They discuss the newly shinies being shown off at Gamescom - Star Wars Battlefront, Scalebound, Quantum Break, Mirror's Edge Catalyst, Cobalt, Cuphead, ARK and many more.  Next week, they plan to tackle Homefront, Thimbleweed Park, and games made by that small Blizzard studio.

Corey and Brian celebrate(?) Windows 10 day with cheering and not installing it yet.  While they await the fallout of the OS's release, they touch upon the shortage of Fallout 4 Pip-Boy Editions, Nintendo not putting a release date on the next Legend of Zelda, Mafia 3 announcement and World of Something-Craft's sixth expansion.  Then we poke fun at Forbes and one of their "contributors" and his list of top games of 2015.

Brian and Corey are all over the board on this week's podcast as they experienced a little (read: more than a bit) technical connectivity issues.  They discuss the new Journey collectible statue, Iwata's funeral, the Commodore PET, Shenmue 3's Kickstarter results, your EA Account and more.
