CORE 528: Ex-Box Jul 10, 2026

A reminder about a few new posts on the feeds, and then off to the exciting world of how Xbox seems to be shitting the ENTIRE bed. Plus Games Done Quick, and the summer sale stuff. Scott tested the hell out of the state of GeForce Now, and did it with a load of games, including Just Cause 3, Diablo IV, Black Flag Resynced, Disco Elysium, and Ghostwire Tokyo to name a few. Jon played AstroBot and The Adventures of Elliot. Beau still buried in Nightreign and Slay The Spire 2!

MORE CORE: Making the indie game, "Gyro", with solo-dev Shane Maddox. Jul 08, 2026

Show notes

We get into what it takes to build your own game, and actually launch it to the public. And go wishlist/get the game on Steam! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4822290/Gyro/

CORE 527: Practical Eve Jul 02, 2026

Show notes

We have Jon Show mugs in the store! Because why not? Also, what about cloud gaming in all these discussions around hardware prices? Plus, Sony says goodbye to physical media, and at the same time closes a couple stores, and took a bunch of movies away from people. Not great. XBOX will likely follow suit. CyberPunk Edge Runners S2 gets a new trailer. The full roster for Fighting Souls is upon us! We played Stellar Blade, Moonlighter 2, Titanium Court, Sea of Stars, FF7 Remake, 33 Immortals, Supermarket Sim, The Adventures of Elliot, Meccha Chameleon, Astro Bot, EverQuest Legends, Nightreign, and Star Trek Infection VR. Your emails and more!

CORE 526: The Gabe-Cube Jun 25, 2026

Show notes

Welp, the Steam Machine is here, and it's expensive as we figured it might be with the RAM wars and all. Let's break it all down, and highly discourage Canadians from getting one. :) We also talk about the big games of July, Xbox increasing prices, GTA VI costing too much, Gamestop STOPPING something good, Capcom still trolling with the Engine name, Switch 2 getting pricier too, the Summer Sale on Steam, and all the games we played this week: Resident Evil 9, Thank You For Your Application, FF7 Remake, Pragmata, Meccha Chameleon, Stellar Blade, Astro Bot, Nightreign, Overwatch, Heroes of The Storm and more. Also, Jon shares the right order to play the resident evil franchise in.
