SyrupCast episodes

  • Is the Steam Deck here to stay?

    On this week's SyrupCast, the team ditches the usual two-week release cadence to drop an emergency episode focused on Valve's new Steam Deck.

    Patrick O'Rourke spends roughly an hour telling Brad Bennett about his experience with the Steam Deck so far -- and yes, we now know that Proton is just the Linux translation layer and not the handheld's OS.

    Just hours after the end of Samsung's latest 'Unpacked' event and with the Galaxy S22 Ultra in hand, Dean Daley offers his initial impressions of the smartphone to Patrick O'Rourke and Brad Bennett.

  • CES 2022, Halo Infinite and another year of tech

    This week on the SyrupCast, the crew returns after an extended hiatus to talk about how low-key CES 2022 was.


    To kick off the pod, Brad Bennett regales Patrick O'Rourke and Jon Lamont with news regarding Rogers' new CEO, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE and the latest software update for the OnePlus Buds Pro. Next, Patrick steers the team towards recapping CES 2022. While this year's show was pretty dull, cool gadgets and several electric vehicle (EV) concept cars were still shown off. Finally, the team talks about some of the games they've been playing over the holidays, with Patrick shining a light on Halo Infinite and Brad talking about finally catching up on The Last of us 2. If you've been a long-time SyrupCast listener, you already know that Jon spent time with Destiny 2, but he also started playing Stardew Valley again.
