Video Games Were A Mistake

All the seats are taken for episode 21 of Video Games Were a Mistake. During his brief sickness hiatus, Benson found his way back to Dead Cells which the entire crew is enthralled with at this time. Ian is still hunting all the monsters and Jermaine garnered a strange obsession with virtual dart games. The gang is absolutely baffled by Amazon’s changes to their Twitch Prime service, Ubisoft is taking a breather in 2019 for Assassin’s Creed, and Nvidia dropped some insanely powerful new graphics cards for Benson to spend his lunch money on. Did we mention how good Dead Cells is?

Welcome to episode 20 of Video Games Were a Mistake! This week Benson was feeling under the weather so Jermaine and Ian took charge and jumped head first into this week in the world of video games. Despite our minor protest, Ian took the plunge into Monster Hunter World and has fallen hard for it. Jermaine finally started Dead Cells and it’s quickly becoming one of his favorite games ever.  The duo also talked about Diablo 3 coming to switch, the ongoing saga of the ex-IGN editor who apparently plagiarized his whole life, Ninja and his “no girls allowed” streaming policy, as well as the announcements coming out of QuakeCon.

We took a mini break but Video Games Were a Mistake is back! Fresh back from Malta, Ian shared his thoughts on Thumper, Hammerwatch, and his fun adventures with Yakuza 0. Benson jumped back into No Man’s Sky, played a bit more of Dead Cells, and started a discussion on the 3rd and 1st person views in video games. Jermaine, while he was on the cast, played nothing new at all! Be sure to encourage him to change that via Twitter. The crew also touched on the plagiarism case that was tossed at IGN and ended the cast with talking about the death of Luigi.

Welcome to episode 18 of Video Games Were a Mistake! This week the crew talks about a surprising amount of old games as the summer drought continues to persist.

A little time was spent on the future of Microsoft’s console initiative and what that could mean for the future of gaming. All that and more can be heard on this week’s VGWAM.

After a glorious 4th of July break, the VGWAM crew is back! This week Ian convinced everyone to check out Warframe again, was somewhat disappointed with Fear the Wolves, and attempted to make Toukiden 2 sound like something that was worth playing. Jermaine grinded out some loot in Diablo 3 and Vermintide, then got lost in VR with the creepy puzzle game called Statik. Benson destroyed cars, lawnmowers, and buses in Wreckfest and shared some interesting tidbits on where VR headsets are heading in the future. All this and more can be heard on this week’s episode.

The crew is back together for talk of fashionable shirts and video games! But mostly games. Ian’s been wrapping up Assassin’s Creed Origins and checked out a little stealth shooter called Acid Spy. Jermaine has been back in the Diablo 3 mines, and had a chance to dip into Realm Royale. He also found a mobile soccer game called Dumber League, which Ian and Benson downloaded immediately. And of course, more Vermintide 2.

In the news, Nintendo has unveiled a Labo-themed Switch, which looks gorgeous. Edmund McMillen has a Binding of Isaac card game on Kickstarter, and it sure looks like Cyberpunk 2077 is (eventually) going to be multiplayer.

Jermaine has returned, but Benson is out on a secret mission! Ian talks about becoming one of those Dynasty Warriors weirdos, and a little card game called Slay the Spire.

Ultimate, Kingdom Hearts, and the Resident Evil 2 Remake, and tried out some very exciting upcoming VR titles like Drums of War and Evasion.

Welcome faithful listeners and fresh newcomers to episode 13 of Video Games Were a Mistake. This is the episode before the video game industry showers us with all of the latest and greatest news/announcements from our favorite companies and developers. On this episode Jermaine and Ian dive into the games they've been playing as the Benson attempts to cool down in the real world since he was without power for a majority of the day. Jermaine shared his thoughts on Bayonetta 1 for the Switch, finally started Detroit: Become Human, and has given up hope on becoming great in Mario Tennis Aces. Ian shared some more insights on his review of Vampyr, made Sushi Striker sound like a game that must be witness for one's self, and also opened up a new world of possibilities with Bus Simulator 18. The duo then spent some time chatting about the news from the past week including Bungie's next planned expansion for Destiny 2, the unfortunate delay of Crackdown 3(again), and attempted to understand Steam's decision to do absolutely nothing when it comes to curating their storefront. The podcast ended in a slew of E3 hopes, dreams, predictions and wants that left the host more than excited for the event to come.
