In a throwback to VICE Gaming's New Podcast, aka the old version of Waypoint Radio, it's just Patrick and Austin on the podcast today. After running through the major games coming out this month, starting with Tacoma later this week, Patrick confesses to having my heart broken in Dream Daddy, which leads to a discussion about how we should judge content cut from a game. In The Question Bucket forces us to examine why people, like Austin, are wrong about Super Mario Sunshine.

Apologies in advance to all residents of Los Angeles who are fans of the city they live in, but the opening moments of this podcast are not kind. As it turns out, Austin has some thoughts on cities, yours included. Elsewhere, Austin discusses his opening hours with the latest from Epic Games, Fortnite, Rob catches us up on his time with Darkest Dungeon, Patrick reminisces about getting everyone killed in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and Danielle tells us what #ResistJam is all about.

Today's podcast begins on a somber note, as we say goodbye to Waypoint's UK editor, Mike Diver. Mike was, unfortunately, let go as part of a recent VICE internal reorganization, but Waypoint wouldn't exist without all the hard work he's put in over the years. We wish Mike nothing but the best. ​Elsewhere, Patrick shares his confusion and joy over the the new dad-focused visual novel, Dream Daddy, while Rob, Danielle, and Austin discuss their hours with the newest game from Supergiant, Pyre.

As Rob Zacny's Subterfuge campaign finally comes to an end, we discover what depths a group of humans will go to stab one another in the back. Elsewhere, Rob, Austin, and Patrick discuss our hours with the fun (but limited) Destiny 2 beta, and what it doesn't tell us about the finished game. Things get heated towards the end, when a debate over mustard, ketchup, and mayo breaks out, with Danielle "Susan Collins" Riendeau casting a decisive vote.

With Austin busy being a "boss" who has "responsibilities," it's left to Danielle, Patrick, and Rob to discuss the latest developments in the game that's slowly killing Rob's life, Subterfuge, before we talk about some of the events at EVO 2017 this weekend, including the way Capcom's botched rolling out its surefire hit, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. Elsewhere, Patrick continues to wonder why so many people are obsessed with Kingdom Hearts, and discuss some early hours with Splatoon 2.

It's like the saying goes: if there's a long running wrestling franchise with deep customization options that leads to people making deformed Kirbys, Austin will be there. Patrick, Danielle, and and Rob are there to help him through this, as we discuss Edmund McMillen's new platformer, The End is Nigh, and Rob's latest scheming in Subterfuge.

Over the weekend, popular YouTube creator VideoGameDunkey, known for his funny and biting videos about games, published a 9-minute critique about games criticism. Dunkey pointed his criticism at huge websites like IGN and Kotaku, lamenting review scores, the race to be first, a disconnect between a website's voice and an individual reviewer's opinion, and more. This prompted a lengthy discussion between Austin, Patrick, Rob, and Danielle, before we touched upon Rob's revenge fantasies in Subterfuge and Danielle's time with Hollow Knight.

Though gaming might not be moving at the same pace ​as earlier in the year, there's plenty to talk about. After Austin and Patrick provide an update on our (lack of) chicken dinner in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, he discusses his time with the updated Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, while Patrick laments his inability to jump properly in the Crash Bandicoot remaster. Plus, Rob reveals the fascinating subtlety of pitching in MLB The Show 17, and Danielle updates us on Breath of the Wild's DLC.

Welcome to the second episode of Waypoint 101, our semi-regular podcast where we, as a group, play through an older game, something we've always wanted to get around to or something worth another visit. Our first series has tackled Sega's Binary Domain, an underrated sci-fi shooter with a story that takes some surprisingly dark turns. We talked about the game's first three chapter last month, and we've returned to discuss the game's conclusion. ​Join Patrick, Austin, and Rob as we discuss our favorite topic: sad robots.
