As always find a tons of gaming news at gamingnexus.com

Each week gamingnexus.com staff writers Eric Hauter and Elliot Hilderbrand are joined by video game designer Max Mraz (Ocean's Heart) and streaming partner Joseph M. Moorer to talk pop culture, movies, and of course videogames.

A bit of a slower news week as companies gear up for E3, but we manage to find something to talk about. This week the gang tackles topics wide and small. From someone selling a mcnugget for nearly $100,000, to terrible pride month celebrations in the videogame world. We hear Joseph’s thoughts on Facebook Gaming and Eric also defends Stadia.

On this week’s episode they talk about the box office being back in business. We discuss the 30 and 35th anniversaries of Sonic and Dragon Quest, as well as all the goodies they’re releasing. We then get down and dirty talking about whether Blizzard is still Blizz, and Eric talks about DreamWorks Spirit Lucky's Big Adventure (yes, that is the actual name of the game) and his moral dilemma about the game.

This week the boys also talk about HBO Max backtracking about Dune, how Dave Bautista starred in a film with Tig Notaro but has never met her, and Eric and Joseph give their thoughts on Knockout City.

Those are just a few of the stories we talk about this week. We also spend some time talking, Knives Out 2 casting, Twitch doing all sorts of things, and eBay banning video games, and more. Eric then gives us a review of ChekhovOS, we guess it’s a video game?
