The Backlog Chronicles Podcast

For TBC 79, we were joined by friend of the show, Neo (@NeoGameSpark) as we tackled this week’s mind blowing gaming events. PlayStation doesn’t rest on their laurels and acquires Bungie - a power move that signals an alternate direction for them. Is PlayStation attempting to become the premier Live Service platform in the future? We discuss! Also, Ghostwire Tokyo looks batshit crazy, and we’re here for it. Rockstar surprises no one with a GTA 6 announcement. Tangential rambles are also in play, as usual

Also, Drama Alert (!) returns! We do our best to cover the latest & greatest dramatic Twitter takes (indirectly) provided by the lovely Twitter rock kickers. 

If you’d like to catch us live, join us Sunday nights at 8pm EST! We hope to see you in the chat with us, as we Laugh, talk, and ramble with our friends in the community. Cheers, everyone

On TBC 76, we talk Hitman to Game Pass! Dying Light 2! Halo Infinite store improvements!

And for the first time ever, trivia with out friends, which ended up being a lot more funny and entertaining than it had any business being.

We hope you enjoy, and we thank you for listening. Cheers

Come join our friendly community of friends and us live every Sunday night at 8pm EST for the talks, the laughs, and whatever else randomly comes up!

Greetings, brethren!

On TBC 69, we dove into several topics and emotionally rambled about our opinions of them (as usual.) This included Ubisoft's misfire with the new "Ghost Recon," an obsession with Xbox's new appliance, Nintendo's continued shellacking ways, and our thoughts on the gaming side of DC Fandome (and that incredible The Batman trailer.) We hope you enjoy it, and we thank you for listening, as always. Your time to listen to us is much appreciated
