Found in the depths of an abandoned warehouse, the lost Bad Gamers Anonymous episode surfaced but left no clues as to where the hosts, Bad Gamer Joe and Bad Gamer Jason, went after they did their E3 2019 recap and reviewed Warhammer: Chaosbane. If you have seen either host in the wild, please be cautious approaching them, as they may have reverted to a feral state.
Or they might ask to borrow money, one or the other. Approach with caution.
Before Jason deep dives into Total War: Three Kingdoms, we discuss what we’ve been playing. SPOILER ALERT: Besides Total War: Three Kingdoms we’ve been playing terrible games; like, super-terrible. Then we move on to gaming news: EA’s full line-up at E3, is GamePass coming for PC, Hideo Kojima might be insane, finally getting some news on Square Enix/Crystal’s ‘Avengers,’ Pokemon watches you sleep, and lootboxes!!! Then Jason mispronounces fairly easy-to-pronounce Chinese names.

We talk about tapping each other, repeatedly……………………………………………………………..in the Simpsons Tapped Out before moving on to talk about other dumpster fires. The Sonic move, Atari, loading times, and the WHO adding a “gaming disorder” to the ever growing list of non-real “disorders” all get discussed. Once we’re done droning on about the news, we get down to brass tacks and give our in-depth review of Bethesda’s Rage 2. Is it a dumpster fire, too? Listen and find out.

We welcome the illustrious Morgan McFly on this episode of Bad Gamers Anonymous. Morgan classes up the joint while Joe and Jason do their best to keep playing in the mud. We cover the Sony and Microsoft partnership, strange things in RDR2, the Epic Store debacle, crowdsourcing video games, and a whole slew of other gaming news. Then we get into the meat of the episode and pick Morgan’s brain on all that is Battle Royales. Why are they popular? Will they last? Why is Jason terrible at them? Why are we picking on Crowley when he’s still the producer and can type out these awesome show notes?
Special thank you to Morgan McFly for joining the other two yahoos for this episode. Follow her:

In this episode of BGA, we discuss the government’s fixation with loot boxes, Crowley’s fixation with SWTOR, Sony’s idiotic attempt at copying Nintendo Direct, and the labor issue in gaming (it’s a good thing Crowley isn’t here for this one, because he’d explain to us and you, the listener, why we’re both wrong). We talk a bit about why Randy Pitchford is insane before we review The Hand of Gilgamech!

Crowley returns as Joe is out this week. With Crowley back in the driver’s seat, we discuss all the news that nobody cares about. What news segment would be complete without Crowley baggin’ on Kotaku and Sea of Thieves at the same time!! It’s good to be back…for just this episode. Once Jason and Crowley are done with the news, we deep dive into why Hollywood can’t make a good video game movie. This list is awful.

This week, we dive into the what the future of gaming looks like, but not before we discuss what we’re playing and cover a ton of gaming news. In news, we discuss how Nintendo Labo makes you throw up (how is this news?), Cox Cable squeezing more money out of PC players, people frivolously suing Epic, and Gamestop’s demise. We then jump into what we know about the next gen Playstation and Microsoft consoles, and even talk a little about Switch minis.

This week we discuss our recent excursion to Star Wars Celebration Chicago, some of the games we’ve been playing, and the latest gaming news. We then dive into the Vader Immortal and Jedi Fallen Order panels from SWCC and give you our opinions on how these games are going to turn out.
We also put out a casting call for a new co-host as Crowley announces he’s looking to take on the role of “producer” for BGA and take on more responsibility with Ear Glue Media. If you’re interested in applying for co-host, please email us at badgamerspodcast@gmail.com or reach us on Twitter at @BadGamersAnon

This week, the boys review two retro Star Wars games: X-Wing vs Tie Fighter and Empire at War after going over a lot of gaming news. Crowley decides that 1776 was a great year and that the US education system is terrible. Joe decides he hates virtual reality peripherals. And Jason gets super salty over having to play Empire at War.

This week we cover a lot of gaming news: Free Nintendo Online for Amazon Prime members, Borderlands 3, 2 new Nintendo Switch models coming, and a ton of VR news. Once we’re done debating the merits and future of Virtual Reality, Crowley lets his bad gamer flag fly as we discuss the survival/city builder game Dawn of Man.

In this episode Joe gets all fanboy over Google Stadia, Jason confuses Star Wars for Star Trek, and Crowley needs motivation. We cover gaming news: Atari faces another setback, State of PS4, Google Stadia, FFXIV expansion news, Mortal Kombat 11 beta, easter eggs in The Division 2, Valve updating Steam, and Kotaku lamenting that games are hard. Jason and Joe give a retro-review of the “good” Battlefront II before diving head first into our full review of Tom Clancy’s The Division 2.

We start our Road to Star Wars Celebration Chicago with a review of the PS2 classic Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. Before we jump into that, we discuss all the gaming news fit to discuss: Anthem making PS4’s try to off themselves, Nintendo telling game devs to tone down the money making, a long lost NES wrestling game, the ban hammer coming down full force in Apex Legends, the Division 2’s massive day 1 patch on the PS4, and Google’s possible streaming video game service.
We also discuss the terrible and sick game Rape Day. We here at Bad Gamers Anonymous do not condone this type of violent and sick and twisted video game. We do believe that video game makers have the right to publish whatever they wish, even trash like this. We do, however, have strong and differing opinions on how Steam, and it’s parent company Valve, reacted to this game and the language they chose to use in their statement saying it would not appear on their platform. We realize that this may be a sensitive subject for some and warn our listeners to fast forward 10 or 15 minutes if you feel the need. As always, the opinions of the three hosts of Bad Gamers Anonymous are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Ear Glue Media.

Crowley and Joe give their first impressions of Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 right after talking about the gaming news of the week. The PS Vita is being phased out, Horizon Zero Dawn hits 10 million copies sold, and Riot is trying not get sued. They then jump into the open beta of The Division 2 and give their take on whether you should pre-order, purchase, or pass. They also do a full review of Trials Rising…but honestly, only Joe cares.

Joe and Crowley discuss their time in Apex Legends and do a deep dive into this game. While Crowley still sucks at battle royale games, his thoughts on Apex Legends may surprise you…or not. Before they review Apex Legends, the two send their thoughts and condolences to the absent Jason, discuss Dumpster Fire ’76, Red Dead Redemption 2, Bowser taking over Nintendo, and a whole slew of other gaming news!

This week we deep dive into Crackdown 3. Is it worth buying? Is it even worth playing on XBOX Game Pass? Jason and Joe get after while Crowley mocks them for doing anything with XBOX. We also take a look at the gaming news of the week: Including the layoffs at Activision Blizzard and how that may impact the forming of unions. “Quack Quack Motherduckers!”

This episode probably should have been titled “Show and Yell.” After discussing Activision Blizzard’s woeful financial situation, they go down the rabbit hole of whether game designers/creators should unionize. This rather lively discussion finally gets put to an end and the three of them review a couple of sniper mobile games, before reviewing separate games. Jason reviews Foundation. Joe reviews Apex Legends. And Crowley reviews Civilization VI.

This week we deep dive into Kingdom Hearts III, where Joe finds himself in a very negative state. We discuss the gaming news from around the web, and find out that Kotaku isn’t all bad…just 99.9% bad. We also take a look at Kingdom Come Deliverance 1yr later; a truly great game from a small studio.

This week, Crowley goes off. Without Joe there to keep him in check, Crowley let’s gaming journalism have it with both barrels. In his sights are Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Kotaku. Jason and Crowley cover gaming news including: Metroid Prime 4 news, Facebook ripping off kids and their families, EA’s Anthem woes, and another nonsensical article from Kotaku. We then give an in-depth review of Soul Calibur VI!

This week, we do a full review of Ace Combat 7! The good, the bad, and the Top Gun quotes! We try to deep dive into one of the shallowest games we’ve ever played. From the single player, to the multiplayer, to the virtual reality…we have you have covered! We give a big shoutout to Morgan McFly for the new intro and outro…THANK YOU MORGAN! We also cover all the gaming news worth talking about this week: the confirmation of the PS5, Forza cutting off a potential Carlton lawsuit, the future of virtual reality, and even Kotaku idiocy. Yeah, we even debate about what constitutes a “gamer.”

This week the boys welcome EGM founder/CEO, podcaster, and Arcade1up superfan Mike Rondeau to the show. They tackle the Kotaku AMA, how Fallout76 is still finding new ways to be terrible, Bungie breaking up with Activision-Blizzard, Division 2 going to the Epic online store, and streamers getting tons of money from their friends. Once they’ve finished with the news, they let their guest loose. Mike preaches the virtues of cabinet and retro gaming while Crowley tells you why you should spend your money more wisely…and buy cigars. Joe doesn’t care and Jason loves nostalgia as much as Mike. Make sure you check out Mike’s newest podcast, The Man-E-Faces of Masters of the Universe at EarGlueMedia.com

We kick off the show giving a shoutout to Stargate Pioneer for all of his help. We officially welcome Jason to Bad Gamers Anonymous this episode. He shares with us his history of gaming before we talk about what we’ve all been playing since Christmas. Somehow, we’ve all been bamboozled into playing SWTOR, and the guys absolutely destroy it…kind of…we still might play it. Then we cover all the gaming news from the first week of 2019: Bethesda settling a lawsuit with Warner Bros., Jason thinks Half Life 3 is happening (he’s wrong), Cliff Bleszinski is on broadway, and a Blizzard shakeup. We then dissect why Kotaku hires dumb people before Crowley praises old people playing games and we talk about the MadBox console announcement. We cover digital download vs physical copies of games before we briefly talk about 2019 games we want to play. We were way wrong about Ace Combat…it is NOT a PS4 exclusive!

Crowley and Joe welcome new co-host, Bad Gamer Jason to the show! Once the pleasantries are over, the trio get down to business and the best video game awards show done on a podcast gets underway…THE CROWLEY’S! Game of the Year, Dumbest Animal in a Game, and Best Stogie Smoker are just a few of the awards handed out this year. The Crowley’s were recorded with a LIVE discord audience. Be sure to check out the #the-crowleys-chat channel in our Discord. http://eargluemedia.com
The trio announce nominees and winners in the following categories:
Best Stogie Smoker in a game: This award goes to the character who smokes cigars with the most class and style. This character most epitomizes what it means to be sophisticated tool.
Dumbest Animal in a Game: This award is for the animals that we love to hate because they act dumber than a bag of hammers.
Controller Killer Award: This is awarded to the game that forces the player to release all of the pent up angst and rage they hold inside, scream at the game for being terrible, and throw the obvious issue (their controller) across the room.
Best XBOX Exclusive
Best PS4 Crossplay
Games Nobody Played: This award goes to the game nobody has heard of and even fewer have played, but the VGAs decided that everyone should have.
Best Game that Wants to be an RPG: This award is for the little Role Playing Game that could…not. While maybe technically an RPG, this game embodies neither the spirit nor polish of a real Role Playing Game.
Worst Dad Award: This goes to dad who managed to screw up their offspring the most. Worst. Dad. Ever.
Copy and Paste Award: This is the award for the game that phoned it in, made a paper copy of itself and released with some slightly new artwork and maybe a tweaked game play element.
Best Beard or Facial Hair: This award is for the character that grows the most epic or stylish facial hair in a game.
Poop and Play Award: The game best played on the throne.
Best Mobile Game: Yes, there are actual games on mobile. We found them, and we gave one an award.
Hottest garbage: This award goes to the game that came out of the gate stinking worse than two week old Thanksgiving turkey left in a trash bin in an unseasonably warm month
Best Music: This award is for the game that wowed us with its musical score. From the deep, dramatic strings to the ear worm catchy pop tunes, the game wouldn’t be the same without this music.
Best Role Playing Game: The game that makes the player feel like they are in total control of their game character and gives them fantasies of cos-playing at the next San Diego Comic-Con.
Best Action Game: This is the award for the game that gets the blood pumping and the reflexes humming. Or is it the blood humming and the reflexes pumping?
Best Remake or Port: Know what would make this game better? Move it to a different platform or give it shiny new graphics!
Best Sports game: Go Team!
Best Shooter: Guns, explosions, only the twitchiest reflexes will survive.
Best VR Game: Immerse yourself in the game and then vomit shortly afterward.
Art Direction: This award goes to the game that brought us the most beautiful and well designed visuals.
Best Voice Acting: This is for the voice actor that brought the character to life through the spoken word.
Best Moment: This is for that part in the game that blew us away, tied everything together and made all the past frustrations worth the journey.
Best Story: This is for the game that hooked us early and kept us hooked until the end; the game that we didn’t want to stop playing because we wanted to see what was around the next corner.
Best Villain: This award goes to the character that we longed to see defeated. The character that gave us drive and purpose and who we celebrated when they fell.
Best Character: This is the award for the character that we most related to, the one we rooted for, the one that we fought for to succeed in their quest.
Game of the Year: This award is for the game that made us come back for more. The game that stands above all the rest for 2018. The game that brought everything together: music, story, character, visuals and gameplay. This is your Game of the Year.
Crowley welcomes Joe back to the show and announces that Joe is one of the new, permanent co-hosts of BGA! They also announce the Ear Glue Media black tie event of the year…THE CROWLEY’s! It’s like the Oscars…but better…and for video games…so not at all like the Oscars. Join BGA LIVE December 30, 2018 at 7:00pm CST on their Discord voice channel for the Crowley’s! Once the duo take care of a few housekeeping announcements they jump right into the news of the week. Crowley offers Gene Simmons of KISS, a spot on the podcast during the Crowley’s. If you know Gene Simmons, TELL HIM! They then welcome Captain_Nill_Skill into port. The Captain takes on Fallout76, battle royale type games, and harassment in gaming. Crowley deftly ignores the Captain’s Question and instead focuses on how he was right. Joe tries in vain to keep Crowley’s ego in check.

Garrick and Crowley then disagree on Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.
With Garrick on assignment, Crowley welcomes Jonesy to the show. Crowley quickly discusses the Ear Glue Media website with its creator before jumping into gaming news. Jonesy and Crowley discuss the new ability to change your PSN, Skybound finishing up The Walking Dead in lieu of Telltale, and Fortnite beta on Android phones.
