Quantity doesn't always mean quality, which is a motto you could certainly apply to this long episode of the Tempcast. Joining us for this special anniversary episode is prominent GBAtemp member and lawyer Eric "Ericzander" Zander. Unfortunately, we couldn't find a mic for him so he used an old pair of half-broken airpods. Join us as we discuss the latest gaming news, such as new additions to the Silent Hill franchise, the N64 title Perfect Dark finally decompiled before Microsoft was able to make a remake, and the Bayonetta 3 controversy. Also, we touch upon a deadly rumor circulating at least on one chinese website - PS5 pro devkits supposedly at the hands of developers as we speak.

In this week's episode we discuss the recent announcements of brand new remakes, such as The Last of Us Part I, Lollipop Chainsaw, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 (lol no), XIII Remake: The Remake, and Sonic Origins. We also discuss the AM2R team coming back with a brand new title on kickstarter. That's pretty much it. I don't know what else to write in the description, it's a pretty boring episode.

In this week's episode we discuss the recent announcements made during Sony's State of Play, revealing titles such as Resident Evil 4, Street Fighter VI, The Simpsons: Return of Graggle, Among Us 2 and much more. We also talk about the new Sonic Frontiers trailer, and whether or not it looks good. Speaking of sub-par trailers, Pokemon Scarlet/Violet received a new one, join us as we discuss the hypersexualization of Pokemon. Finally, we end on a couple of smaller topics - Dark Souls 3 servers coming back, Warcraft 3 reforged maybe coming back, and the Pokemon DP sound library definitely not coming back.

Join us in this week's episode of the Tempcast as we poorly explain the latest news in the gaming and homebrew development world. Starting off, we talk about the long awaited update to the legendary DesMuME emulator, finally adding high-resolution 3D rendering and some other features. Alongside the DS, the PS5 finally has made it's first step into the emulation scene thanks to the new Kyty PS4/PS5 emulator beginning it's development. Speaking of great accomplishments in software, Sonic 2006 has finally returned to the Xbox online marketplace, for a great price as well! Finally, we ramble a bit about how bad PS1 emulation is on PSN Plus, after which we discuss SimCopter 64 suddenly resurfacing online.

In this weeks low-energy, zero-motivation episode we discuss some interesting news from the homebrew scene. Starting off, we discuss the Ship of Harkinian Ocarina of Time PC port getting some new updates including 60fps (this portion of the podcast contains a segment where AlanJohn poorly explains how interpolation works and why it's a no-no in gaming). Millions of Windows 95 gamers were heartbroken from the news that the acclaimed emulator Dolphin is going to be available only on Windows 10 (and above), which is something we deeply discuss. PSN Plus or whatever it's called has old games now. Finally, Square Enix has realized they need more money and have started to invest heavily into NFT and other blockchain technology for their upcoming games, join us as we tear apart this idea and explain amateurishly why it's a bad idea. Does anybody remember Pokemon Sleep?

Join us this week as we discuss some of the biggest gaming and homebrew related news in the past week, month or whatever time it's been since the last episode. Starting off, we talk about the new hopefully-not-to-be-DMCA'd-soon homebrew project called Metroid 64 by mexican developer Luto Akino, following up with the new fiscal report for Nintendo's FY. After which, we talk about a newly discovered build of Duke Nukem Forever - with the source code out on the web somewhere, compilable and playable. Square Enix has decided to sell off it's western IPs, we argue whether or not this is good or bad for franchises such as Deus Ex and Tomb Raider (no we don't lol, but we should've).

In this week's episode, we discuss the ESA confirming that E3 2022 won't happen this year, neither live or online. After that, we discuss Ocarina of Time getting a PC port thanks to the de-compilation efforts by the community. Speaking of effort, Sony isn't putting any into a PS3 emulator for the PS5, something we talk about during the PS Plus section of the episode. Finally, One Piece, the hit japanese cartoon series, is getting an RPG. We barely talk about it.

This week, Stephen and Alanjohn discuss two popular news stories about Nintendo taking legal action against people on the internet. First, popular Youtuber GilvaSunner, who uploaded video game soundtracks, had his channel taken down by Nintendo; then, we discuss the upcoming sentencing for Team Xecuter's Gary Bowser. Finally, we touch on a few smaller stories from this week, such as Grand Theft Auto VI's announcement, the release of the Resident Evil 4 HD modpack, and the Nintendo Switch officially outselling the Wii.

Sometimes we talk about news on this podcast. Well, we tried this episode, starting off about Crysis 4, then it devolved into a debate about whether or not LEGO games are real games (spoiler: they aren't), and then we just talked about Legends Arceus for like 30 minutes. I'm sorry for the people who actually expected a cohesive podcast experience detailing the latest news in the gaming world, but this one just ain't it. But hey, there's actually an alternative version of this episode with all of that somewhere on the internet! Can you find it?

Sometimes, there are stories big enough you need to dedicate an entire episode to them. That happened this week, as Microsoft purchased publishing giant Activision Blizzard in a landmark $68.7 billion deal. We break down all the angles on this acquisition, such as the impact Activision Blizzard's recent legal trouble may have had on this deal, the conspiracy about this being an inside job, the scummy moves by Phil Spencer in the press leading up to the announcement, and more!
