Episode 450 Jul 06, 2020

Show notes

It's easy to be dismissive of the Grand Theft Auto franchise because it's the biggest fish in the pond and has been for quite some time. And as we prepare to take our adventures in San Andreas to the next generation, let's not forget one of the reasons why these games, particularly GTAV, are as beloved as they are: the stories they tell are actually quite good.

That's one of the topics CJ, Charlotte, Occams, and Chris cover on this episode of Podtoid. In addition to GTA, the crew recounts their favorite movie shootouts, the appeal of British sitcoms, Riki-Oh, next-gen game pricing, and movie musicals. All that, plus mac and cheese dispensers, on Podtoid Episode 450.

Episode 449 Jun 29, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, CJ, Dan, Charlotte, and Chris talk Deadly Premonition, Danganronpa, Cyberpunk 2077, Top of the Pops circa-1989, and the ridiculous ways virtual reality renders our movements. All that, plus Charlotte details two great games you probably already own from the itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality, on Podtoid Episode 449.

Episode 448 Jun 22, 2020

Show notes

Pokémon Sword & Shield are still of the two most divisive games to release over the past year. A lot of what it did right it did very right, such as new Pokémon designs and the scale of the adventure players were sent on. But everything it did wrong still hasn't improved, even with multiple updates and paid DLC.

That's just one of the topics of conversation on tap in this episode of Podtoid. CJ, Dan, Charlotte, Chris, and Occams sound off on Pokémon, point-and-click adventure games, kangaroo people, SpongeBob SquarePants, bad demos, and more. All that, plus sex dolls in soap operas, on Podtoid Episode 448.

Episode 447 Jun 15, 2020

Show notes

There were many highlights during the PlayStation Future of Gaming presentation last week, but two of the games that really stuck out to the Podtoid crew were Resident Evil Village and Bugsnax. And while the two games couldn't be more different, when you think about it, isn't the idea of foods that are actually bugs far more frightening than any stupid werewolf we'll fight in the next RE game?

That's just one of the topics on this episode of Podtoid. The team comes together to look back at their favorite announcements from the showcase, the trailers that didn't do anything for them, and what Xbox will need to do with its upcoming show. All that plus Command & Conquer and glory holes are both making a comeback on Podtoid Episode 447.

Episode 446 Jun 08, 2020

Show notes

Porting an Xbox One/PS4 game to Switch is like trying to rock a rhyme that's right on time. It's tricky. There are plenty of studios that specialize in the process and some ports are downright amazing, but most players know no matter the pedigree of the team handling the project, concessions will be made. Some are small and barely noticeable. Others, like with Outer Worlds, are right out in the open.

That's just one of the topics on this episode of Podtoid. Charlotte, Dan, Chris, CJ, and Occams come together to talk about Outer Worlds on Switch, Grand Theft Auto V, Fallout 76, and Maneater. All that, plus we answer listener questions, Chris introduces us to the amazing Undercover Cop mode from Kane & Lynch 2, and CJ butchers the word "foliage," on Podtoid Episode 446.

Episode 445 May 25, 2020

Show notes

There have been a lot of fan petitions and outcries over the past several years, but none have been more annoying and apparently successful as the #ReleasetheSnyderCut campaign. After months of sporadic trending on Twitter, Warner Bros. finally caved and agreed to release all four hours of it on HBO Max.

That's just one of the topics covered in this episode of Podtoid. CJ, Charlotte, Dan, Occams, and Chris also touch on Mafia II: Definitive Edition, the Switch port of Bloodstained, Chopping Mall, and packs of wolves. All that, plus we fantasize about Jason Momoa and Chris Hemsworth, on Podtoid Episode 445.

Episode 444 May 18, 2020

Show notes

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is coming back and the world is better for it. That's just one of the topics covered in this episode of Podtoid. On the show, CJ, Charlotte, Occams, Chris, and Dan talk the Hawk as well as Elder Scrolls: Blades, Detroit: Become Human, Huntdown, how to properly spend your COVID-19 checks, and Chuck Norris kicking ass. All that, plus dick masks, on Podtoid Episode 444.

Episode 443 May 11, 2020

Show notes

One of the biggest pieces of news last week was the reveal of Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath, a new DLC expansion of the original game that will continue its story and introduce Robocop to the franchise. Not exactly a first-choice character when it comes to the fighting game genre, Alex Murphy should fit right in with a cast that has no shortage of guns at their disposal. From Jax to Joker, these fighters are so well-armed they make Stryker from Mortal Kombat 3 look like Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

That's just one of the topics of choice on this episode of Podtoid. Occams, Chris, Charlotte, and CJ talk about MK, Holmes and Yoyo, Yakuza 5, Celebrity Watch Party, Dr. Pimple Popper, and Satan's Toybox. All that, plus one unfortunate fart, on Podtoid Episode 443.

Episode 422 May 04, 2020

Show notes

Is May too early to be talking about Game of the Year? Not if you've played Streets of Rage 4. The brawler is getting rave reviews all over the internet, including on this week's episode of Podtoid. On the show, Charlotte, Dan, Occams, CJ, and Chris talk SoR4, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Policenauts, cross-dressing martial artists, bidets, and more. All that, plus we're answering your listener questions, on Podtoid Episode 442.

Episode 441 Apr 27, 2020

Show notes

Despite being called a "single-player," there are actually many one-player games out there that are just more fun when two or more people get in on the action. Mystery Case Files: The Malgrave Incident, for instance, was a hell of a lot more entertaining when I got a few friends over to speed run the hidden object games.

That's one of the topics discussed on this episode of Podtoid. Charlotte, Occams, CJ, and Chris come together once more to talk Sakura Wars, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Telling Lies, '80s movies you should watch, PAX West, and taking your pets outdoors. All that, plus the ridiculous things Hollywood thought you could do with a computer, on Podtoid Episode 441.
