Game Decetcive

LeGrande and Jeremy team up for another power duo episode, and we log back into the game grid for some decetcive work. GAME decetcive work. This week, we decetc the Gameboy and its idiosyncrasies, but Metroid 2 is still pretty good. LeGrande flaunts his Overwatch 2 battle pass stats, and we spend like 15 minutes trying to figure out how to describe Everspace 2 and find out it's not that difficult after all. Jeremy decetcs Gamedec, and enjoys its Disco Elysium style, but is a bit skeptical that Warsaw is the dystopian megalith city of our future.
We flaunt our Leaked Destiny 2 Guns segment at the law. We will not be bullied. But other people will, and they show up in the news speedrun this week. Lots of good stuff in here, come and get it!

Super Meet Your Mario Maker

This week, the guys give their unbiased and unfettered opinions of the recent Super Mario movie... and keep doing it. Eventually, we get to talking about some video games, and we start by dissecting and dunking on the new hero in Overwatch 2, but generally still enjoying it. We talk about the new post-apocalyptic player-created-dungeon-raid shooter Meet Your Maker, and consider the challenge and fun of asynchronously defeating your gene-coveting foes. Finally, we continue to dig... into news, new releases, and more! Plus we hit that super-speedy Speed Run before we hit the road for now!

Everybody Loves Crabs

Jerod, LeGrande, and Jeremy hit the airwaves this week to catch up after an extended leave from some of our hosts. LeGrande finally drops some expert opinions on Diablo 4, and Jerod laments the absence of the options he wants, and everyone seems to have good things to say at this moment about Diablo Immortal. Jerod has been playing Kerbal Space Program 2, but is it the game the community wants? Also, we decide whether Dragon Age Absolution is the proper insertion point for new players to get into the lore (it isn't). Plus, Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon. Jeremy finally gets his hands on Ghostwire Tokyo, and decides whether Shinji Mikami has another hit to add to his catalog.
Finally, the guys catch you up on new releases, sales, and a bit of news, including the confounding cover of NHL '23, whether competitors for Steam Deck mean that the handheld PC-gaming market has arrived, and everything good that's in the speed run news segment!

Just a Vehicle for Clicking on Things

Dale and Jeremy take the show out for a spin using the buddy system, and the results are astonishing. In absence of anyone better equipped, Jeremy talks about the Diablo IV beta, and immediately undermines any legitimacy he has to do so. Dale describes his time of tabletop fellowship at Adepticon. Jeremy talks about the game he actually brought, the New Caledonia-inspired Tchia. Plus, Fortnite might introduce Web 3.0 with its Unreal Editor functionality, a gritty new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is in development, and Game Stop posts a surprising financial report.

Space Dwarf Racism Holds a Grain of Truth

This week we think we've got a show you can really dig ahahaha. Just kidding, we know it's not credible humor, but you totally bard it anyway. This week, LeGrande played some mobile stuff but notably Shovel Knight Dig. Jeremy embraces his dwarfself-loathing in Deep Rock Galactic. Dale chases his dream of being an amazing solo musician with the bard class in Final Fantasy XI. We detail the stuff announced at the Paradox Interactive Showcase, and then just back-fill most of the interesting stuff into the news speedrun, because we know you love it.

If it Runs on the Switch it Runs on the Vita

This week, Dale, LeGrande, and Jeremy go a little outside of their usual comfort zone. LeGrande gets into a mobile zombie-runner game called Into the Dead 2, sequel to the great original that may not exist. Jeremy puts the 3D headset back on to do a GameBytes Show revisit of Moss. Dale puts a little bit of time into pixelated laser swords and low-fi beats to chill to with Hyper Light Drifter. Plus, DICE Awards winners and the latest news from announcement conferences like Sony's State of Play and Pokemon Direct. Plus, various new releases, our news speed run to mop up the latest video game happenings, and more!

Weird Retro Renaissance

This cozy episode is a LeGrande and Jeremy duo. LeGrande hops the train in The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, and bemoans the old DS gimmick of stylus control, but overall life on the rails is good. We then jump tracks to spend some time in Hogwarts Legacy, learning just what kind of magic makes it work in production, combat, and game style. Jeremy takes the Game Boy bullet for us all, trying out Nintendo's newly-released Game Boy library for the Switch, and runs us through the initial offering with a brief description of each game, including the new Tetris movie tie-in game.
Plus, Microsoft discusses "cannibalizing" sales through Game Pass, we look at new releases for the week, and finish off strong with a news speed-run!
