Whiff Punish Gamescast

Spoiler Alert! All video games have been converted to Batman brawlers and the future is bleak. Who can save us? None other than the 2v1 Podcast!

Alex receives bad news about a theatrical release, Josh isn't impressed by science fiction fantasies from 30 years ago and Nick sprays ink everywhere.

The boys discuss Star Wars, final thoughts on Fallout 4, Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, Splatoon and Ark: Survival Evolved.

With the wrap up of PSX 2015 and the episodic nature of Final Fantasy VII: Remake, Nick, Josh, and Alex discuss whether or not the announcement was handled correctly, as well as the future of the beloved title. Halo arguments were also not left out.

2015 is almost over, and thoughts turn to this year's best video games. 2v1 summarizes The Game Awards winners, the show's most awkward moments, and news.

As 2015 winds down, Alex, Josh and Nick give thanks for free time away from work. Josh (Lara Croft?) is a homicidal maniac in Rise of the Tomb Raider. Alex crosses a line in MGSV. Nick is emotionally crushed by Undertale.

Fallout 4 is now coming up on its two week anniversary, yet there is still plenty to be said. Along with a (terribly named) Halo update, Alex has the 2v1 movie minute, Josh forgot he played Assassins Creed Syndicate, and Nick flirts with Undertale.

The end is nigh...or has it already passed by? Fallout 4 has arrived with a post-apocalyptic Boston rife with mutants, radiation, and dated video game engines. Join Alex, Josh, and Nick as they try to make sense of a new (but familiar) wasteland.

Also discussed: Pneuma, The Fall, and 2015's nominees for the Video Game Awards.

Halo 5 is still a topic of much discussion for the 2v1 gang as Alex returns to raise the banner high and Nick finds the campaign to be lacking. Josh's crisis results in a purchase and everyone really just wants to play Fallout 4.

We talk Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, the relevance of strategy guides in 2015, Soma, and Playstation 4's lineup in 2016.

With the long awaited Halo 5 release a few days in the past, Josh spends the better half of an hour attempting to explain to Nick why this launch was a bit... underwhelming. We talk about other things, too. Kind of.

Disclaimer: Alex pulled a Master Chief and has gone AWOL but will return next week. If we allow him.

This week, 2v1 is joined by their friend Cody as they have a lengthy discussion about TellTale Games, Halo and Batman.

Nick and Cody learn to fence while racing to be eaten by a flying monster in Nidhogg. Josh loves Batman: Arkham Knight's Batmobile (surprise!). Alex begins playing a recent release but learns a hard lesson about collector's editions.

Nick gets his hands on the enigma that is the Steam Controller and has some...mixed feelings. Josh is vindicated, and Alex prefers to enter situations with guns blazing.

2v1 discusses the first Witcher 3 expansion "Hearts of Stone," Telltale Games, Metal Gear, film, and whether PC gaming will ever penetrate the living room.
