Geekout Heroes

Hey Geeks, this week we talk about how much gamer culture has expanded, Activision's shareholders almost did the right thing, EA's shareholders did do the right thing, cheaters are basically social whores, developers/publishers need to finish/fix games if we're going to keep buying their games, and CyberPunk is back on the PlayStation Store but PlayStation doesn't recommend you buy it. We also give our thoughts on Mario Golf, Dungeons and Dragons: Dark Alliance, Spiral, Wrath of Man, Ghost Lab and some Anime.        Close: "Monster (Kaibutsu - GOH mix)" by YOASOBI and AmaLee

Hey Geeks. This week we talk about everything E3 2021. Well not everything, but a bunch of it. Microsoft dominated and Starfield goes platform exclusive. Nintendo Switch Pro will never happen so why are we talking about it? We also talk about Scarlett Johansson doesn't understand the character she made iconic in the MCU. And finally we recommend some shows and anime.      Close: "Bad Girls" by MKTO

Madness? THIS IS SPARTA! Hey Geeks, we're finally back from a break. This week we talk about EA got hacked, PlayStation finally admits that scalpers are a problem, Summer Game Fest, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, Mech Warrior 5, Dragon Quest Builders 2, Masters of the Universe, Loki, A Quiet Place 2, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, and more Anime recommendations.      Close: "Problematic" by Bo Burnham

Hey Geeks, this week we talk about Hotels, BioMutant shows PS5 hardware might be inferior, how well will exclusives do as hardware becomes harder to find, did Mass Effect Legendary Edition turn out well, we discover our alien kinks, Disco Elysium: the Final Cut, Ship Breaker, and more Anime recommendations.     Close: "Next of Kin" by Hiroyuki Sawano      Want GOH merch?

Hey Geeks, this week we talk about EA blatantly attempting to claim they don't try to get their gamers to pay more in their games. Activision is absorbing another successful development team. After seeing reviews are any of us getting Returnal and will $70 games ever seem worth the extra $10 this generation? Have we been playing newer titles and are we seeing a difference moving to this generation? We talk about Anime recommendations and how some titles completely broke Vargo.      Close: "The Myth of You" by Jun Maeda Manyo (arrangement by Akuya Music)      "Across the Violet Sky" by Evan Call        Check out our merch at https://the-goh-store.creator-spring.com/

Hey Geeks, this week we talk about Sony backsliding on the PS Store closures. PlayStation already has a Game Pass service they just won't capitalize on it. Destiny 2's transmog is terrible, but is it just a set-up to make Bungie the hero, again? Season of the Chosen was decent, but do we want to continue to buy Season Passes? Former Bend developer had a bad take on why Days Gone didn't get a well deserved sequel but there was a little more to the interview. We also review and talk in detail about Mortal Kombat (2021).      Intro: "As Days Go By" by Jesse Frederick      Close: "Techno Syndrome (Mortal Kombat)" by The Immortals

Hey Geeks, this week we talk about more nonsense where studios are turning down good stories. The innocent nature of Anime. PS5 had an update and it didn't activate the one thing gamers really need. PS5's SSD was overhyped ... even by us. We speculate on why won't Sony give NVMe internal expansion to the public? Scalpers continue to make sells numbers look good for companies, but all things worse for us. Days Gone isn't getting a sequel, but it's not because it didn't sell well. Sony is making questionable decisions. We also give our thoughts on the movie "Nobody," some more Anime shows and an update on what we think so far about "Invincible."       Close: "Invincible" by OK Go

Hey Geeks, this week we chat about The Falcon and the Winter Soldier supposedly lost viewers, we talk about why, Marvel pulled distribution through Diamond Comics, more legislation for Lootboxes is coming in Europe, and our thoughts on the Resident Evil 8 demo. We also give more recommendations on some more Anime we've been watching.      Close: "Walking On Broken Glass" by Annie Lennox

This week we talk about game preservation and how services like Game Pass, PlayStation Now, and Nintendo Online can save old games from disappearing forever. Greed has made the AAA gaming industry undependable and Indies are exposing that fact. We talk a little about some Anime we've gotten into and review Godzilla vs Kong as well as It Takes Two.     Close: "It Takes Two" by Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston

Hey Geeks, sorry for the delay. This was originally recorded on March 20th. It's a long one so settle in. We talk about how fans of the Snyderverse were labeled terrorists and toxic people. Also we talk about Activision firing employees go after a recording breaking financial year, Microsoft officially owns Bethesda, our thoughts on Zack Snyder's Justice League, and more.       Close: "One Week" (Barenaked Ladies Cover) by Alex Melton

Hey Geeks, this week we forgot to talk about Destiny so that'll have to wait. Instead we wasted two hours on Avengers adding more grind, confusing our friends, Static Shock's new virtue signaling origin story, The Elden Ring leak to proved it is indeed a From Software game, Stadia was good at pointing out the problems with game streaming, Diablo 2 Resurrected will allow you to use 20 year old saves, Hogwarts Legacy lost their senior creative, and Geometry(?). We also review Coming 2 America, Wrong Turn, and WandaVision. We also have a spoiler discussion about WandaVision and The Little Things.      Close: "Love Story" Cover by Alex Melton

We also review Shadow in the Cloud, Greenland, and Willy's Wonderland.      Close: "Groovemeister" by Jacob Raagaard

Hey Geeks, this week we talk about Mass Effect Legendary Edition censorship, lens flare, Tali, MLB The Show 21 is coming to Xbox, some people were upset at the film Witches, exposing our own hypocrisy, current-gen shortages will continue, crypto-currency is bullshit, the future is scary, Netflix's Outside the Wire, and Amazon Prime's The Escapists.     Close: "forget me too" by Machine Gun Kelly & Halsey 

This week we talk about GameStop stock market awesome/madness, EA Star Wars exclusivity running out and moving on, Xbox Series loads too fast sometimes and it also desyncs controllers too. We also discuss The Medium and how it makes us curious about upcoming current-gen exclusives.       Intros: Scenes from the films "Trading Places" and "So I Married an Axe Murderer"      Close: "Rockstar" by A Great Big World

Hey Geeks, this week we talk about Microsoft quick about face with regards to Xbox Live, Resident Evil 8, scalpers continue to ruin this generation so should exclusives even exist yet, Demon's Souls makes us sad, AMD and NVIDIA avoid talking about GPUs at CES, AC: Valhalla story praise, early impressions on Star Wars: The High Republic, and Hulu's Crawlers.   Close: "My Reason to Come Back Home 2: Electric Boogaloo" by Settle Your Scores

Hey Geeks! This week we're talking smack about 2020. That's right. We're getting all the disappointment out of the way so our Games and Entertainment of the year podcast will be nothing but positive vibes next episode. Or ... at least as positive as we can get ;).      Intro Clip: "Back in the Saddle" by Aerosmith      Close: "Back in Black" by AC/DC
