Weekly Games Chat

Jon's back this week and to be quite honest, may be the reason the boys had the topic for this week, Resident Evil. This is of course is the newest RE content out there, not in the form of a video game but TV Show. Broken into 8 shows, it's attempts to weave a story from two perspectives. We refer to them as "Current" so think 2022 and "Future" which I believe Jon said is 2032. We did drop small spoilers, so be warned. Our views, quite polarizing to an extent. Chris and Shaun were quite honestly "meh" on the show whereas Jon loved it...most of it at least. You could say he is our "resident" expert on the RE franchise.  See what I did there?? So, last week remains the greatest set of emails ever written in collectively, but thank you to those in some way who either wrote in via email or discord. Thanks for everyone who checked in on twitch to see us - twitch.tv/weeklygameschat. The chat was  awesome! Thank you for....all the things! GAME ON!

Jon's out this week right, and Chris and Shaun swore the episode might be the shortest ever. The opposite happened. It turned out to be one of the longer episodes. In part due to an exquisite review of not only the newly released DLC for Cuphead - The Delicious Last Course - but also something magical. Quite possibly the best set of emails ever written to the show. It was not one, but the collective bunch.  For now, Chris replayed Cuphead from the beginning. All in all - including the DLC, says this is a TAHP NATCH experience. It will be cool to see what this studio does in the future for now, we are grateful to have this journey. So, the emails....with a looming presence of Chris' "Thanos-ing" our content - our listeners - YOU ALL - wrote in and delivered amazing content. This is what the Email portion of the show was meant for - pure brilliance.

Thanks for everyone who checked in on twitch to see us - twitch.tv/weeklygameschat. The chat was LIT this week - awesome! Thank you for real for the writes ins, emails, again that twitch chat....all the things! GAME ON!

In this week's episode - the boys take on a game that a mere day ago - Shaun didn't even know what the F*#k it was. As it turns out, it's quite the little point and click title. Jon was the main person with knowledge, as he put the most time in stabbing and death trapping people down to the chamber of meat grindness. Wait, what??? Did you just read that right?? Yes. Set in a very overcooked/cooking mama vs Sweeny Todd vibe - this game is about keeping a business alive doing what you just read. The crazy thing - you are totally routing for them! IN the intro - we learned Jon has beat a game this year as he finished Sniper Elite 5 ANNNNND now a point/click game...hehe. #goodtimes Speaking of good times - thanks for everyone who checked in on twitch to see us - twitch.tv/weeklygameschat. The chat was LIT this week - awesome! Thank you for real for the writes ins, emails, again that twitch chat....all the things! GAME ON!

In this week's episode - well, we noted it was the shortest episode in some time. That's right, we clocked in right around one and a half hours. Partly due to the game -but not in a bad way. Chris really liked it and admitted to the nostalgia of TMNT: Shredder's Revenge...the good and the bad parts of said nostalgia.  Was there sufficient tubular-ness, cowabunga's - galore, pizza??? I'm pretty sure the answer is YES! Jon did miss part of this show due to a power outage - it was good to see him come back without PC issues. We did learn he made need to check his bidet #cold. To those who checked into the twitch stream - thank you. Next time - YOU could be there. twitch.tv/weeklygameschat. Thanks again for your emails (ZERO), write ins, twitch chat...all the things. GAME ON!

This week it's all about tactical shooting and espionage and what not. In the game Sniper Elite 5 - you are dubbed "the shadow". However, during this weeks recording we learned Jon is more like the EFFING SUNSHINE when he plays. This is the 5th installment of the main Sniper Elite series per the title, coming directly after Sniper Elite 4 but it's still around the time frame of the event in Sniper Elite 2. This takes place in France, or as Shaun said it 'Franch". This was quickly picked up by the stream chat over on twitch - and we learned one loyal listener would prefer her ranch packet - sorry "Franch" packet left out of her Mississippi Pot Roast. In the post hang - We tried to talk about acting, but then Stallone got brought up and Shaun totally trolled Jon. You could have witnessed this had you joined us on Twitch.tv/weeklygameschat.....next week...stop by for a while why don't ya??? Thanks again for your emails, write ins, twitch chat...all the things. GAME ON!

Topic - This week - the boys opened up a lengthy discussion on the event that was Xbox & Bethesda's 2022 Showcase. There some really good things and there maybe was some things we collectively didn't care about per se. What we did get, was our first extensive look into the new Bethesda IP - Starfield.  Super cool to finally see it...like see it. Now, we may not get this game until the tail end of 2023...but at lease we've seeeeeen it. For those who stopped by the stream (we had some first timers!) - thank you! If you want to catch it next time - come on! twitch.tv/weeklygameschat. Thanks for your emails, write ins, twitch chat....all the things!

This week we explored the even that was Sony's State of Play that streamed on 5/31/22. We pretty much agreed it was a good event, not historic OR bad...but good. Jon's highlight was Resident Evil 4 being remade with a release date!  For Shaun, he was happy for all the confirmed PSVR 2 games - but wanted a release date/pricing....something! For Chris, his highlight the Final Fantasy 16 trailer. Coming next week we get potentially more big news hopefully with Summer Games Fest 2022 and Xbox's Showcase for June 12, with a follow up (deeper dive) in 6/14/22. I hope we can still have fun memories this year - we all miss E3. Thank you for those who stopped by our live recording of the show on twitch.com/weeklygameschat. Catch us next time (which may be for the aforementioned gaming events). Thank you for your emails, write ins, twitch chat...all the things. GAME ON!

This week we learned about how scary ghosts in Japan are ANNNNNND how much fun Jon had/is having playing Ghostwire: Tokyo. Currently a PS5/PC exclusive - we learned about how scary of a vibe this game gives...maybe eerie is better. Either way...it's right up Jon's wheelhouse.  A great point brought up by Chris, this COULD BE Bethesda's last new  game on a PlayStation platform for sometime, maybe even ever.  Speaking of ever, have you...yes YOU ever stopped by and watched the show live on twitch? It's kind of fun and weird seeing us LOL!   If you want to try - twitch.tv/weeklygameschat. Thank you for emails, write ins, twitch chat...all the things! GAME ON!

This week it's a well oiled 2-Man podcast, we've fired Jon. Kidding, he's on a business trip - boooo! No worries, Chris and Shaun got you, fam! We discussed the current cycle of delays....whats been impacted, why? Is there and end in sight?  Good news and bad news on that. First - yes...there are SOME games with confirmed release dates. So unless WWIII breaks out (remember when we could say that and it wasn't a like "could happen" type thing?) - we will have some games. We won't have Starfield.  It's ok, right? Shout out to everyone who joined us on twitch.tv/weeklygameschat. Also great emails and content from YOU the listeners this week. Thank you, GAME ON!

This week is all about a Samurai game that Chris and Shaun played via Xbox's Game Pass - and that game  is Trek to Yomi. A 2D side scroller type  game that is visually stunning and takes you into the world of the main character Hiroki.  Set in the Edo Period -  it literally feels like you are playing a movie at times - but that play thing is somewhat clunky if we're being honest.  That's right  - it's not perfect. How different did Shaun and Chris rate this? Jon , oh he played Breath of the Wild on his switch the whole show. #jokes #thanksshaun  Shout out to our new folks who have seen us live on twitch.tv recently, now ask yourself - where have you been? Next time join us - twitch.tv/weeklygameschat - we can't wait! Thank you for listening and being the most alright-est fans in the world! #GameOn
