Some Jokes Need Better Comedians
Jimmy Kimmel jokes on Youtube Gaming, Bungie legal battles, what you get on the MGSV disc, ESports on ESPN, and more....
This week feels like Déjà vu since it feels like we are revisiting topics that should be long dead. Rockband is returning and dropped some info about your instruments. Microsoft if making Fable Legends a Windows 10 store exclusive for PC, and we’re pretty sure they’ve tried this before. Also, Gamergate is a topic again and we’re not really sure why. What we do know is that if you try to just play it straight when reporting on Gamergate you’re going to catch shit from both sides.
Besides that we do have some fresh things to talk about. YouTube gaming has launched with little-to-no fan fair. Also, Cliffy B finally gives us a taste of the game he’s been working on: Lawbreakers. Jarret, being in love with FPS, gives his thoughts on Lawbreakers and talks about why Lawbreakers, Overwatch, and even Team Fortress 2 can live in the same space. We also talk about MGS5 microtransations, Kojima worship, and more.
Jarret is Executive Director as well as one of the founding members of Mash Those Buttons. He plays all types of games, but tends to lean more toward FPS, Stealth, and Combat games.
Host of WoW! Talk! and The Tauren & The Goblin. Sometimes known as the Video Games Public Defender. Wants to play more Destiny and Marvel Heroes but WoW is all-consuming. Decent F2P Hearthstone player. Sad that he lost the Wii that had Wrecking Crew on it. Would be happy if the only game ever made was M.U.L.E. Gragtharr on Skywall-US. Garresque on Ravencrest-US.
Arriving on the Nexus: The Leusinia, Angaran diplomats, & an angry Firefighter terrorist. Departing the Nexus: sickness!
What makes fighting games unique, the impact of modern trends, and the significance of community and representation within the genre.
Rounding up the second 7.2 Live Letter preview and patch notes just prior to release.
Jaal doesn't want Ryder to kill Akksul, but maybe Ryder has an itchy trigger finger. And by Ryder we mean Nick.
