The Boss Wave Podcast

This week both Chris and Rob were down with the nerd flu so they abused the fact that they were part of a VGHub community podcast last week so that Chris did not need to edit this show which was recorded with Mark the week before EGX. Everyone loves leftovers! The old gaming news that was discussed includes: Dark Souls 3 DLC, new Zelda: Breath of the Wild gameplay footage, Sims 4 expansion, Xbox One S Minecraft bundle, Dead Rising 4, Battlefield 1, Metal Gear Survive, Forza Horizon 3 and Sniper Elite 4.

Games played and discussed this week include: Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, 1001 Spikes, Another Metroid 2 Remake (AM2R), PES 2017 and Destiny: Rise of Iron.

It's EGX weekend and all of the greatest podcasters from the VGHub family have joined together to form one podcasting supergroup consisting of Bongo and Markanix from the Overseas Connection, Stu and Chinny from the Veteran Gamers, Pilch from Pilchards and Cream, Kyle from The Entertainerds and somehow Chris and Rob from Boss Wave managed to sneak in there as well.

As this was recorded on the Saturday in the lobby of Bongo's hotel the audio quality is not the greatest but those who persevere will be rewarded with a multitude of people constantly interrupting and talking over each other while discussing how they haven't actually played anything. Enjoy!
