Episode 170: AOC Asks Us All To Vote! With ProximitySound Oct 26, 2020

Show notes

ProximitySound joins Jaku and Xwater to bring you this week's gaming news. Stardew Valley got a splitscreen coop update. Indie devs are making their games worth more and more, which means their next games coming out will be snatched up instantly. 2k is giving players of the new NBA 2k game, that costs $60, unskippable ads that play during the game. If you're as appalled as we are, don't give them your money. Frost Giant Studios is a new company founded by former Blizzard devs who worked on Starcraft 2, Warcraft 3, and many other RTS games. Can they bring back the genre? Z Event had it's 5th yearly event last week. It's a gaming charity event similar to GDQ. They raised €3,510,682 and broke the former record for money raised for charity by a gaming event. Will GDQ be able to match that kind of a performance? Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez streamed Among Us with Disguised Toast and other popular streamers, and had over 400,000 concurrent viewers. She's bridging the gap of politician and constituent. Will this be enough to get the younger crowd to vote? We have two hot takes this week. The first one is Twitch's new DMCA rules. They're not giving people a chance to fight it, and are assessing everyone with a warning. It's very unfair to give people a warning for something without allowing them to fight it. Maybe they actually did nothing wrong, but still have that on their permanent record with Twitch. Not Cool. You might think that took the cake for the week. Nope. Alex Hutchinson, one of the devs for the FAILED Google Stadia, tweeted that streamers should pay devs to stream their games. Some opinions are wrong, and this is one of them. Let us know what games you make, because we will make sure not to stream them. WE NOW HAVE A PATREON!

Episode 169: A Chat With DGR Dave Oct 19, 2020

Show notes

Poo may be gone, but Jaku and Xwater are joined this week by DGR Dave. Microsoft has really stepped up lately. They said that 360 owners will get free cloud save transfers to Series X. If they keep releasing things like this, there will be a real battle on which console is the best of the generation. Countering Microsoft, the Playstation 5 backwards compatibility list has been released. It's got nearly every game on it. The PS5 will have a very strong library of games starting out. Analogue, the makers of the SuperNT had a mystery announcement, but using the power of editing, we now know they are releasing a TurboGrafx console that will allow you to play games from some of the most commonly ignored systems. We have a real Hot Take this week. Sony's PS5 will allow you to report voice chatters using recordings of from the voice chat system. It will keep records of the last 5+ minutes and allow you to report segments of it. Is this breaking the law in some states? Is this a good thing? What do you think? WE NOW HAVE A PATREON!

Episode 168: GrandKeys Is BACK! Oct 12, 2020

Show notes

This week Xwater and Jaku are joined by an oldie, but a goodie: GrandKeys. They catch up, talk about Key's life, and just get back into the groove. Fall Guys got a Season 2 update, and Ghosts of Tsushima is due for one this week. Fall Guys might have missed the mark a bit by not adding enough. Ghosts of Tsushima on the other hand is blowing us away with the amount of content that's being added. We have a Hot Take on Twitch advertising, again. Twitch Staff has been donating pennies in bits tricking streamers into shouting out brand names without actual compensation. Our Hot Take is, don't cheat the system. Just pay for the advertisement.

Episode 167: Minecraft Steve Is In Smash! Woo! Oct 05, 2020

Show notes

The crew are back to give you the news. Steve from Minecraft is heading into Smash Ultimate. That's great! Unless you're a Smash player, and then you're probably pissed. For some reason, everyone is up in arms about Steve. It's not that big of a deal. The next fighter might be more to your liking. You can't deny the popularity of Minecraft though. Mario 35 is out, and people have been playing it a lot. It's a great game, but will they do more with it? In March, will they take it down, and make a Mario 3 version? Mario 3d All Stars is a great way to play a few games that haven't been re-released in a while. It could have used a lot of improvements, and Xwater is here to tell you about how awesome the blue coins in Sunshine are. Spoilers: they're not. We can't tell you why, but Poo is going to be off the podcast until the end of the year because of a secret project he's working on. We'll update you when we can. WE NOW HAVE A PATREON!

Episode 166: Microsoft Owns Bethesda! Sep 28, 2020

Show notes

The podcast was recorded late because of Fall Mania. Which you can guess means Poo wasn't there. Former Blizzard president launched Dreamhaven, a new video game publisher. Will they be able to bring back the spark that Blizzard has lost? Microsoft bought Bethesda, which means they own Doom, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, and many other games. How long will previous exclusivity deals be kept? They also revealed the price on the hard drive cards for the Series X. 250$ is a lot, especially since the console is 300$ to 400$. Left For Dead 2 had a HUGE update. Not only was it free, but it was made by the fans. Will this reinvigorate the game, and push Valve to make a Left 3 Dead? Amazon Luna is the newest cloud based video game streaming platform. It's already probably better than the Stadia. Our Hot Take: Is this the start of real competition, or is there nothing to be gained by this? Konami is releasing classic Metal Gear, Contra, and Cstlevania games for the PC. There's a lot of room to remake these games. Is this the right way to go? WE NOW HAVE A PATREON!

Episode 165: Twitch Is Randomly Running Ads Now? Sep 21, 2020

Show notes

Fall Guys must be doing maintenance because the whole crew is here with the news. Spelunky 2 is out, and people are scrambling to find the secrets. It's got a lot of similarities to the first game, but it's got a whole lot more meat to it. Sony revealed the Playstation 5 prices. They are trying to take down Microsoft, but will it be enough? The preorders have already come and gone, so it's not looking bad for them. Nintendo had another mini-direct. There's a lot of games, but two Monster Hunter games are the stars of the show. Is that enough to keep them relevant when new consoles drop? We've got a pair of Hot Takes involving Twitch. The first is more ads. Instead of just paying more to the streamers for ads, they are just going to randomly run ads on your stream, and not give you the option to opt out. But, on top of that, they also celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month by adding emote modifiers to make your emotes have a sombrero, maracas, or a guitar. That's only slightly culturally insensitive, right? Come on Twitch! We love you, but you keep taking one step forward and two steps back. WE NOW HAVE A PATREON!

Episode 164: Xbox Series X Prices Revealed! Sep 14, 2020

Show notes

GrandPooBear is busy playing Fall Guys (really.) So Jaku and Xwater are picking up the slack. Microsoft had an Xbox price leak and ended up posting their prices online. $300 for digital only and $500 for the slightly better version with a disk drive. Fortnite is getting a custom Switch. But, it's only in certain countries. Is this the way a way for Epic to battle Apple and the Play Store? You thought that Nintendo was done for the year? NOPE! Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is coming out this year. They may even have more in store for us. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game was a decent game. But it was infamous for being removed from all digital stores for many years. Finally, it's back. Will it be a blockbuster hit, or did it even matter to begin with? Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is also getting a remake. Maybe that means they'll be bringing the series back. Our Hot Take this week is on Fall Guys. It's a great game, but there are TOO many tournaments for it! Too much of a good thing can lead to burnout. Let's keep this game going, or Fortnite will be kind again. WE NOW HAVE A PATREON!

Episode 163: Mario Battle Royale Is BACK! Sep 07, 2020

Show notes

GrandPooBear and Xwater are here with the news of the week. Mario's 35th anniversary is now, and they're not holding back. 3d Mario All Stars is big. Mario 35, the new Mario Battle Royale is huge. IRL Mario Kart? Yes please! Keep hitting us with these bangers and the Switch will stay the king. Nvidia just hit us with their new video cards, and wow. They've made a lot of cards obsolete, but they're being fairly reasonable with the new card's prices. Is AMD in trouble? Fall Guys' charity bidding war for a skin in the game is over, with a combined donation of One Million Dollars from G2 Esports, Ninja, Aim Lab, and Mr Beast. They each get a skin, but if that was going to happen, why not just make it a $250k donation? Fall Mania happened last week and it was amazing. It went down to the last event. That leads to our Hot Take. Twitch Rival's Fall Guys event went on a different points system. It meant that the team with the most crowns might not win. Chat wasn't happy with it. Can we come together and make a standard ruleset that will make everyone happy? We have another Hot Take though. Subtember is here, and as has become the standard, it's worse than last year, and the year before. Is it even worth promoting if it's not doing anything for the communities that care the most?

Episode 162: Fall Guys Season 2! Aug 31, 2020

Show notes

Xwater and Jaku are herewith the news, while Poo is doing Fallmania. Crowd Control is happy to show off Fall Guys as a supported game. No worries though, you can't improve your chances with it, only hinder them. Season 2 has been announced, and they seem to be knocking it out of the park. A lot of DC news came out. A bunch of video games and movies are in store for all of us. Gotham Knights is looking pretty interesting. A game no one was waiting for has been announced: Lord of the Rings: Gollum. You get to play through the story of LotR as Gollum. IS that something you had hoped for? Games-Con 2020 happened. There were a lot of new games and trailers shown off. What were your favorites? Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles has gotten some heat. Enough heat for a Hot Take. You can't play locally, and progress is only saved on the host's system. Is this the best they could do with the remaster of the game? We don't think so. WE NOW HAVE A PATREON!

Episode 161: SGDQ 2020 / Fall Guys Special Effect Aug 24, 2020

Show notes

This week Xwater returned to give Poo and Jaku the news of his house fire last week. Everything is fine, but last week he gave us a scare. Xwater Played Ghosts of Tsushima. He liked it, but Poo didn't. However, there's going to be a co-op update to the game which makes them both want to play again. Oculus Rift was bought by Facebook, which worried a lot of people. They said you wouldn't have to login through your Facebook to use it. But, now they are reversing course on that decision. Will you be logging in on your real FB account, or making a fake one just for your Oculus? The new Battletoads just came out, and it's getting a lot of mixed reviews. Some say that the story and variety of gameplay is great. Others say the art is off, and the game doesn't do any of the things it tries to do well. Fall Guys devs are doing a skin creation contest. Whoever donates the most to the Special Effect charity in the next two weeks gets to design a skin for the game. Right now a lot of popular youtubers and companies are fighting for the top dono spot. Who will win? SGDQ just ended and raised $2,312,629.84. Did you watch it? Did it feel the same as the live events? This week's Hot Take is about Burger King. They've had an advertising company donating to streams to talk about BK. Is that ok? Should BK be blamed, or the company doing it? Should we keep this on our radar for the future?
