S3 Ep30: IM83 - INDIE GAMES VS PLAYSTATION

No, we don't talk like that in the episode. Yes, we have fully embraced the dark side... of clickbait. Then again this is simultaneously episode 100 and 83, so all the rules are off the table. I'll stop bringing that up after this episode, promise. In the first half of the show we talk about news. Specifically that clickbait title, Hideo Kojima, Dead Space, Silent Hill and loads more. My favourite part is when I call of Todd Howard out for his d*ck move of publishing an announcement trailer for Elder Scrolls 6 (VI), 3 years before bothering to start to make the game. Classy of me, that, I thought. Then in the back half it's the latest edition of the titular podcast itself. On which, we look at the recent revelation that PlayStation doesn't really do all that well by indie game developers. However, unlike other facets on the online content world - we look at it with this mysterious force called... balance. Perish the thought internet. Sarcasm aside, it is a good episode that looks at the bigger picture for indie games and their place on console store fronts. Join us onPatreon [https://www.patreon.com/thegeekshow]for more

S3 Ep29: IM82 - E3 2021 POST-MORTEM

Somehow we can be on episode 82 but 1 off our 100th podcast. The internet is weird. This week, we collect together the first news episode post-e3 on which we talk about the few news stories to slither from underneath the gargantuan heft of e3. Not that this episode totally escapes the electronic entertainment expo of youtube playlists. No, we take a good amount of time to talk about whether or not it made a successful return. Then in the second half, we talk about some games we have played recently which includes the like of the masterful Ninja Gaiden Collection and the metal detecting shenanigans of the magnificent truffle pigs. There's more, of course, there is, but you don't need me to explain everything. Those two northern scamps on the podcast can do that themselves. e3 trailer video one [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk9LChkptEA&t=712s] e3 trailer video two [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyt_9Co5AKk&t=1910s] Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/thegeekshow]

S3 Ep28: IM81 - ELBOW DEEP IN E3 RUMOURS

As a final apology for my laxness in getting the podcasts out, not only are you getting the latest news trash a day early. You are also getting the next episode of Impossible Mission about a week early too. In the future, we'll try to stick to this and get episodes out on a Monday. Anyway. In the first half - we have a news trash. On which we talk about all the leaky susan's in videogame press and all the rumours they keep dropping. After which we have three stories on the bounce about members of the video game old guard either leaving or rejoining somewhere and more. And because all the trailers have ran for their nearest digital showcase, we have done something different. We talk about games we would like to see more of in this upcoming summer of games announcements, a concept which one Rob got completely wrong and ended up banging on about comic books or something. Then, in the back half. It's a relatively simple concept for one of our hypothetical chats. China. They haven't impacted the video game industry yet, we talk about what might happen when they do. They are a sleeping video game giant, or dragon. #podernfamily #videogames #news #e3 #rumours #gamingleaks

S3 Ep27: IM80 - WE NOW PRONOUNCE YOU... MICROSOFT+BETHESDA

All up to date now. Won't be making the mistake of forgetting to upload episodes to the podcast feed. My bad. My really bad. This week we collect a new trash and an impossible mission. We probably should rename this feed news trash weekly games blast or something, it belongs to news trash more than it belongs to impossible mission, these days. In the news trash half, we talk about the sony investor relations document, more EA ultimate team sneakiness, timesplitters, square enix going through their emo phase, netflix wanting more 'games', and more. Then in the back half, we talk about something we did a episode or two back. There was a story where Ubi Soft said they are going to simutanously do less and more free to play games. After we figured out that their statement was just corporate boggins, we decided to pounce on the idea of Ubi Soft, in fact, doing more FTP stuff and digged deep into that and The Division heartland.

S3 Ep26: IM episode 79 - Narita Boy & Fatal Frame (Project Zero) Return?

Just one more then we are all caught up. This episode is a twofer, collecting May's Marmalade and an episode of News Trash - meaning this is twice the episode. In the first half, we have news trash, on which the realisation that this semi-conductor shortage is real serious hits - why? because Nintendo is feeling the pinch, Sony has loads of ps5 exclusive buns in the oven, Xbox is hitting China and much more. Plus a truly evil trailer for Fatal Frame or Project Zero, I don't know, names are weird. Then in the back half, we have games to talk about. This includes what is either a nostalgia headache or Gloryhole in Narita Boy, abstract weirdness of two unique flavourings with Genesis Noir and Buildings have feelings too. Bookending all that indie is Rob's flirtations with GamePass in Sunset Overdrive & Star Wars: Fallen Order. Oooh, sexy times.
