The XboxCast

What's faster than putting racing stripes on your new bike?

Wearing white leathers while riding said bike. Sadly, Lee has not graced with any pictures... Yet.  

All of Annapurna Interactive has resigned! Thats right - everyone including the CEO walked out the door in a massive move of no confidence in the direction of the studio. What does this mean for their future projects? For Control 2 and the planned TV series? We break it all down for you to the best of our understanding. But things are still quite murky... We hope to hear more next week. 

Apparently, Space Marine 2 is selling faster than Doom and Quake! Looks like gamers really just want a game where you walk forward and shoot things without any "messaging". Who would have thought!? Even the CEO of Saber Interactive is calling for a return to the glory days of the pure escapism of the Xbox 360 era. And we're all on board! Give us more hordes to mow down while looking awesome and we're there like a pear! 

Xbox is bringing back friend requests. Wait, what? Did they ever leave? Apparently so. And we can thank the Xbox One generation for that. Now we are getting them back, we can rejoice in being friends again. So, what are you waiting for? Send us a friend request right now! Not sure how? Then you better check out our website... 

Frostpunk 2 is coming soon. We go over 11 tips and tricks to get you ready for this brutal city builder and management game. The good news - it's coming Day One to Game Pass! Only on PC for now, but we're hanging out for the console release, which is coming soon™️. Wrap up warm, battle the cold, and see if you have what it takes to survive another day. 

And get yourselves ready for #TerrorTober! This year's theme is Monster Mash. So, any game that features monsters' count. Mostly because Kyle is a wuss, and can't handle the Jandel when it comes to scary, well, anything!

Xbox is the only console that exists. 

The others don't exit. You've been lied to. We're here to expose the truth!

No wonder we haven't heard from Phil! He's been hiding in Antartica, playing the next-gen Xbox with the alien from Area 51. The truth is now exposed. Phil - you can come out of hiding now, and release the new Xbox It's ok. 

We're all about the new phones this week. Lee is looking for a weird Chinese folding phone while Kyle is ranting about Apple's HomePod and the other audio stuff that Apple is now ignoring. Almost like we've forgotten we're an Xbox podcast...

Are we getting a Diablo Secret Cow level in Diablo 4? Lee has never seen the Secret Cow Level, which means his gaming credentials need to be taken off him. But we're getting closer to finding out if its real.

The kids are all buying their spaceships on Facebook Marketplace these days. 

Or is it Temu? 

Beware some light Alien Romulus spoilers ahead. Nothing serious.

But maybe watch the movie first to get all our jokes!  

Diablo is the game of the moment. Like it ever left our rotation. Lee has not stopped playing it all year... But now Kyle is getting involved in the season and it just like two addicts encouraging each other. Luckily Simone is here to help Kyle play No Man's Sky!

Project Managers who listen to vinals and wear shawls are the future. 

You heard it here first!

This is out Gamescom wrap up! 

What is going on with Xbox? It seems they are intent to shoot themselves in the foot. Starfield is getting a great expansion, showing off the story telling chops of Bethesda. Borderlands 4 got announced after the disastrous movie flopped hard.

Lee is going fast. 

So fast, that he's become a racing stripe!

Lee has a new motorbike! And it's a very pretty bike. So of course, we have a lot of very helpful suggestions about hot to not fall over. Kyle recommends some wheels Lee can attach to the back to help him with balance. I'm sure they have a name.. 

Indiana Jones is coming to PlayStation, is what leads another week to be disappointed in Xbox. 

The new Xbox has a price and its stupidly expensive! And all Xbox has added is some extra space and a fancy coat of paint. How is this justifiable? Seriously, Xbox, get your act together!

We may just become a Bike & Diablo podcast after this one...

Lee is technically the Technical Director. 

This makes him officially Tee Dee Lee! 

Patrons Puzzling Picks are in full swing - and Kyle is fishing for compliments in Call of the Wild: The Angler. Has anyone else ever played these hunting sims? Because they are weird... So much busy work in my fishing game! 

Discord is getting a big upgrade on Xbox. Now you can watch your friend's streams on Xbox. And there is much rejoicing! But don't try watch your own stream - that still disconnects you. 

And RIP Game Informer. No one knew this weas coming, not even the employees! And they shut down the Twitter account too. Very, very odd...

In the land of Melbourne, where the Yarra flows,

Two factions arose, with differing prose.

One loved the boba, with pearls so sweet,

The other despised it, a bitter defeat.

In cafes and streets, their battles were fought,

Over tapioca pearls, and the tea they sought.

But in the shadows, a whisper was heard,

Of Xbox adventures, and a podcast’s word.

The XboxCast called, with tales of the game,

Of victories, losses, and gamers’ acclaim.

Both factions listened, their hearts filled with cheer,

For in gaming and podcasts, their passions were clear.

United they stood, controllers in hand,

Boba lovers and haters, a unified band.

For in the realm of Xbox, they found common ground,

A fellowship formed, where harmony was found.

So let it be known, in the annals of time,

That even in discord, unity can climb.

For boba or not, when gamers unite,

The bonds of fellowship shine ever bright.

Contrary to popular belief, we are not a country and western podcast. 

We cover Xbox mostly...

Patrons Pick is coming up quick, fast and in a hurry! So, if you support us on Patreon, you need to start nominating games for us and your fellow Patrons to play! This is where you get to vote on what the hosts play for the month of August. From great games like Resident Evil 2 to Barbie Horse Adventures 2 - all games are on the table, but you have to convince your fellow Patrons to vote on your suggestion! 

Game Pass is changing! We all knew it was coming, but it's now reveled exactly how things are changing. To an outsider, it looks like Xbox is being overtaken by the Microsoft Corporate, and decisions are now being made by committee. A committee that doesn't play, or even understand, games. Gone are the Day One's on Game Pass. At least for some. Others get everything. Either way, the price is going up and we now have an Xbox Game Pass Standard Tier...

We have new music! Will it make an appearance in this episode? Or are we keeping it for our Patrons? 

Only Lee knows... But stay tuned till the end for a surprise! 

The First Descendant has descended! And has taken over in a massive way! Apart from a stupid story, bosses named Greg & Jeremy, and microtransactions out the waazoo, it's actually hiding a fun looter-shooter. And Lee has been sucked in in a massive way. If you're looking for a Destiny-Warframe-Anthem-shooter to take over your life, can we introduce you to The First Descendant? It's free to play and looks amazing!

Xbox is getting a new Rewards Notes Service... What is this? What does it do? No one really knows. Not even Xbox... There's a bunch of word salad about putting notes in the Rewards Hub, and it does nothing but leave us confused. Can someone who understands this please explain?

Xbox's new Game Pass strategy is to drip feed the Activision Blizzard back catalogue into the service. At least that's according to Jez from Windows Central. While not farfetched, it seems like a logical conclusion to come to based on what we have currently seen with Diablo IV being the only one to come to the service... 

And did a new Xbox dashboard get leaked by TopGear?

We go through phases of collecting all the news.

And then we give it all to you. 

You're welcome!

Lee decided to do something for charity! 

He went on a Kiwi based DND stream to play some DND and raise awareness and money for a good cause. By playing a Kiwi cyberpunk story! How cool is that? 

NVidia GeForce Now is allegedly coming to Xbox! But Lee is dubious. He didn't have a great experience once and has been burnt for life. In an effort to help the community, we break down the different tiers, and come away even more confused. It doesn't seem like it was very well thought out... 

Naraka Bladepoint is leaving last gen behind. If you started your journey on Xbox One, then you're getting a bunch of free stuff. Now you get a fancy hat! How exciting.
