Toaster Squad

OG Zac Harris is joining the cast this week, definitely expect to be seeing more of him in the future. The Squad starts by discussing some food etiquette, then roll into ASA. After ASA, we discuss leaks to their full extent. When predictions come around, Zac had some suggestions for improvements.

ASA is a little different this week, but that leads to one of the best discussions we’ve had. We still manage to tie it to gaming in the end as well. For the Rest Of The Show, the lads take a page out of Zac’s book and discuss Battle Passes. Are they better or worse than loot boxes, and will they be here to stay?

I don’t know why we thought this number was important, but it just is. The Squad decides to talk about mobile games this week. What does everyone think about console games getting ported to mobile? Bethesda, PUBG, and Epic are all doing it. Will the trend continue, or will we see things shift?

It’s been about 3 weeks since the whole Squad has been on, and we couldn’t have picked a better week. E3 happened, so the guys have lots to talk about on the show. New game, updates to soon to be released games, and more. It’s a wonder we got through it all. It’s probably cause we completely skipped EA.

113…8? That’s the best clone trooper, don’t listen to J. That has nothing to do with the show though. The Squad talk about whether or not getting a platinum/100%-ing a game takes away from the experience. Sometimes it gets tiring to find all the little collectables, but other times the trophies are done masterfully and you get to explore games in awesome new ways.

We’ve been recording this show for 112 episodes. That’s not really relevant to the description, but I felt like including it. The Squad goes back in time to each console generation to decide which game is the best from their respective generation. The first few are pretty simple, but things get more challenging as the generations go on.

What better week to have a challenger approaching then one where we’re talking about Smash Bros. J, Pat, and Darren talk about who they want to see on the roster for the next Smash game, who they think is getting axed, and what could happen to some of the clones. They also go into the theory that Smash 5 will be a iterative squeal instead of a full blown new game.

The Squad is all in NC once again. It’s like it’s a yearly tradition of something. We decided to talk about co-op this week due to the copious amounts of magic we’ve played this week. There’s also a special appearance from a new guest!

All I’m going to say is this is an interesting episode.

Two of the mooks aren’t able to make it this week, so we have Zac and Dbatch on instead. Christian also brings a new friends to the show for the first time. The modge podge of people this week talk about livestreaming and how we use it on the daily.

Mook Lord and his Spud friend are running the show this week. In lieu of the normal crew they decide to talk about a game they started playing recently called Ironsight. Ironsight is a free to play FPS that’s basically Call of Duty when you get down to brass tacks. The two talk about the pros and cons of the model, and how it compares to the games that inspired it.
