Game movies and music are back on the scene, companies bid for beans, and IKEA makes a spread out of its catalog. Plus, new releases and such, and we discuss NES-era games in need of some sequels!

In this episode we get the big talk in gaming news going right out of the gate: how to troll your friends' vacation photos. But AFTER that, we deal with the Epic Games v Apple fracas, in depth. Other news is happening so we talk about that too, including a longtime GTA voice leaving Rockstar, as well as some riveting new releases and a pretty strong outro, if we do say so ourselves.

LeGrande talks about the emergent storytelling of Civilization 6 in his household and admits that he is raising terrorists. Dale is dealing with a couple of dictators himself as he slaves away in Animal Crossing New Horizon, but brings it back to family togetherness for the August fireworks events. Jeremy's kids ignore him as he plays the month-long beta event for dieselpunk RTS Iron Harvest!

This week's episode features a gruesome twosome of Dale and Jeremy talking about GAMES. The games they played this week, in fact. Dale covers the board-game-to-PC-game adaptation of Space Hulk (pretty sure we either have or have not covered this one before) and has to set the licensing record as straight as he can. Jeremy played the technical test beta for Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout (not to be confused with the old Lee Majors TV show, Jeremy), and describes the defeat-focused gameplay that just keeps bringing him back.

We discuss mod support in the Epic Games Store. Ubisoft SORT OF addresses public demand for their franchises, and Metal Gear Solid 5 players reach a peaceful conclusion, sort of.

It's an MMO with a tinge of tentacle talk. Dale talks about his experience with The Lord of the Rings Online, continuing the swords-and-magic MMO theme and revisiting an oldie-but-maybe-goodie. Finally, Jeremy returns to tentacles with Carrion on Xbox Game Pass, and makes a sideways jaunt to other blobby appendages with the full release of Teenage Blob. Intro: "Guitar Zero" - Teenage Blob, by the Superweaks Outro: "LOTRO Legacy" - Lord of the Rings Online, by Chance Thomas Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y Podcast audio produced by Jeremy Lamont

Ninteno suffers a deep probe-and-release, and Ubisoft hints at their next-gen price point. Half the kids in America are playing one game, and GabeN has been off the radar for a while.

Dale delves into The Legend of Grimrock 2 for some good old-fashioned dungeon crawling, but with that classic "farmer eats food to gain XP" twist.

LeGrande takes the wheel and rolls us through next-gen tech demos, EVO 2020 plans, J Allard's latest gig, and more!

Today we observe the unofficial official favorite holiday of the podcast by wearing hats, inventing dogs, and swearing off gas power. But we also dutifully bring you the video game news of the week, as prepared by LeGrande! Lots to say about Xbox, not so much about the software, events are being canceled, postponed, and reimagined. Seal speculatively wins a Mario Tennis tournament. We also discuss the ENTRAPMENT OF YOUR MIND with all these free video games. What's the proletariat to do??

The guys have brought a bounty to offer you in case you've got some time on your hands to figure things out. Dale has broken fellowship with Magic for a week to play The Lord of the Rings: The Adventure Card Game. It's much better than it sounds.

The video game news of the past few days includes the remnants of the now-canceled GDC including Mark Cerny's PS5 talk, the Steam Game Festival, and the IGF winners.

LeGrande and Jeremy tackle the newsiest news of the week in video games! We find this week that more public gatherings are succumbing to viral marketing. A couple of big players log out of E3. The nintendo Playstation has sold at auction for a tidy sum, but was it worth it? The Last of Us gives up the movie adaptation for something a little different, and Google is on the ball and starting a game studio for that Stadia platform you may have heard is coming out.

Dale and Jeremy use the buddy system to spot each other in this week's games-we-played episode. Dale feels the burn in Ring Fit Adventure, and explains just how to avoid getting TOO shredded at Nintendo's "squeezy-circle"-based exercise game. Jeremy plays an old vertical-shooter classic that you've probably heard of called Radiant Silvergun, and it makes him kind of mad but it's also worthy of respect. Which game causes more forehead-vein popping? Listen and find out!

Dale, LeGrande, and Jeremy hit the news HARD this week, like newsaholics returning uncontrollably to their newsahol. This week LeGrande handles things with news from Blizzard, Blizzard, Blizzard, and some other stuff. Dale picks over the bones of this week's release list, and Jeremy gets into a state of angst thinking about whether time playing (and re-playing) video games is well spent or a waste of life force.

In what might be called by some as "the plain oatmeal" of GBS episodes, we bring you what WE might call "a bit of a palate-cleanser." Sometimes the video games we play are underwhelming, or perhaps just whelming. This episode will whelm your pants off, guaranteed. Jeremy begins by saying Hello Neighbor, but would he rather say Goodbye? Dale feels that Juno's Darkest Hour is quite adequate indeed. LeGrande has sampled the ennui of Apple Arcade, which is filled with great stuff that he can't really bring himself to play. And that's it. That's the podcast.

Dale and Jeremy hit the internet airwaves again to talk about games that we've played in the last little while. Jeremy swears he has not talked about Ultimate Chicken Horse before, and summons his raccoon spirit guide to wash the good times off and scurry them away to his hoard. Dale gets back into his alternative-roguelike thing with Dicey Dungeon, and we try to nail down whether the GOTY 2020 has already been found.

It's been a momentous week as both the year and the decade have rolled over on the calendar, as long as you don't count it on your fingers. We once again bring the full crew to bear and discuss the past 10 years in games, including some of our favorite games, biggest trends and changes, and how the years changed us too. Come along with us as we wrangle Jeremy's overgrown list of topics and actually get to the core of the "twenteens." Yeah, we're gonna make that word a thing.

You've waited, you've wondered, you've wanted and wagered, but now you are freed from all those W words, and you can weep with joy: The 2019 GameByties are here! The full crew of LeGrande, Dale, Jerod and Jeremy weigh the games of the year that was 2019 and we pick the very best, hands-down winners.

It's time for another Jeremy-and-LeGrande-with-nothing-in-between sandwich! This week, Jeremy finishes off the Shovel Knight Treasure Trove saga with King of Cards. Does it live up to his kingly expectations? LeGrande shinobis his way into Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and seems to enjoy it... but the question is whether he makes it sound appealing to anybody else.

Jeremy and LeGrande substite a news show for a VIDEO GAMES show, because it's that time of year. We pick a couple of games that play around with the idea of boredom, intentionally or unintentionally, and we're going to explore our own reactions and analyze ourselves deeply. Jeremy played Death Stranding and does his best to candidly explain what the heck is going on. He compares Final Fantasy 15, Dark Souls, Metal Gear, and others. Good comparisons? You decide. LeGrande digs into the reincarnation of one of his favorite series, Star Control Origins, but how does it strike him in 2019?

In a very special look around at who's-saying-what about video games (who isn't already us), we cover a trifecta of game awards and announcement events that kept us rapt with attention this past week. Of course there are other items of news, but we focus this time on Geoff Keighley's The Game Awards, the winners and others who were recognized, as well as Nintendo's Indie Showcase and Sony's State of Play. It doesn't sound like much, but it's like fighting 100 ducks inside 1 gigantic horse. Good luck to all of us.

It is, after all, the year of the goose, and our two-man formation is flying strong this week with Jerod and Dale, talking about the games they played.

Jeremy spends time with GameByties 2018 unanimous winner, Battletech, and its latest (and final?) expansion, Heavy Metal. LeGrande samples the remastered fare of the 2019 Resident Evil 2 remake.

As December rolls up to the club (aka "The GameBytes Show"), the news is hoppin' (aka "occurring") up in here and the shawties (aka "Jeremy and LeGrande") be trippin' (aka "reporting the news") and droppin' it low to the floor (aka "discussing new releases") and we ran out of clubbing metaphors but we also discuss whether we are ready for all-streaming game services and whether they are ready for us.

We sniff over the nominees of The Game Awards 2019 and its copious eSports categories, new was to play with friends on Steam, Stadia is HOT, Kojima thinks horror, and we have a pretty good offer on some real-estate for you, if your inventory contains enough cash. Plus, we dig into our wishlist on news of remakes and talk about our current wishlist for a from-the-ground remake.

This week our hosts have played a number of great new games! Of course, these terms are relative, after all, but we're sure they're pretty good. And fairly new. They pass the whiff test. This week, LeGrande has been playing the sandwich-spread-sounding Pistol Whip, which he says is the best VR experience he's had this year. Jeremy navigates the idea of "pretty mutants" (we're still not sure what he meant) in Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden. Dale shares with us the joys of next-gen ziplining in Assassin's Creed Syndicate.

In this week's voyage of podcasting entertainment, we eventually get our bearings and set sail for video games! LeGrande plays either The Elder Scrolls Legends or Online, and explores the distinctions between whichever-one-it-was and its nearest competing cousin. Jeremy's got the beat with the new(ish) Harmonix VR game Audica. Dale gets into a groove of his own with Wargroove, and we discuss what special place it has in its genre, or not.

In our most saturated-by-Halloween-but-not-overtly-about-Halloween episode, we brave the scary Internet of things to talk to you about the video games that we're playing this week. Dale jumps into The Outer Worlds to use his skills for space colonization and glory. Jeremy gets back to his natural graffiti roots with Jet Set Radio on PS Vita. LeGrande tries out Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and we think it's the new one and not the old one, but we're still not sure.

News is a natural byproduct of video games, and it's also a renewable resource! We are dishing it out this week as the current events just keep coming. This week, Epic sues a leaker. Blizzard gets leaked, twice. Mixer adds another couple of big streamers to its exclusive roster. Bethesda pitches a change to Fallout 76 which is not popular. Plus, a surprising mod for Borderlands 3! Then, we look ahead at the holiday season release list and find it... wanting.

Lots of League of Legends. Gamebyties GOAT Battletech gets an expansion, and Homeworld gets an unlikely adaptation. Plus, the new releases and RadSwitchGameTitles dot com.

Rider" - Guitar Freaks, Outro: "The Republic of Bastok" - Final Fantasy XI, by Kumi Tanioka Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y
There's quite a mix of flavors this week in the games we played! But they go together like peanut butter and regular butter and peanuts. At least that good. This week Jeremy gets lost going down the cereal hole with the breakfast mascots of yesteryear, and makes an alarming connection to this very week in history. LeGrande enjoys the batjector seat in the Batmobile and hopefully doesn't run down the battery. Dale finally catches up with his British past in Assassin's Creed Syndicate, but maybe it could use a laugh track.

We're catching you up on the video games we played this week. Is it Kingdom Come Deliverance? Prey? Night Call? Creature in the Well? Blair Witch? No. These are the games LeGrande installed. In fact, we talk about Slay the Spire, a pretty good (but simple) roguelike card game. Jeremy played some free-to-start Super Kirby Clash on the Nintendo Switch, but gem apples taste sour. Don't let that spoil the whole bunch! Have a bite!

In this cookiecast, LeGrande, Dale, and Jeremy are here to ask the hard questions. Science, energy drinks, and car frost are all bearing our scientific scrutiny today. But we don't neglect games, and we got plenty to talk about. First, Dale talks about the highly-eventual release of Cube World, from a years-ago preorder. Jeremy causes mayhem with Untitled Goose Game. LeGrande elucidates the quickplay mode of Hunt: Showdown! Have a listen!

Ms Pac-Man enters the intellectual property twilight zone. The Uncharted movie gets director #6. And Half-Life 2 gets a major update. Plus, loads of freebies and subscription benefits, and we discuss games that allow you to be a public nuisance!

Jeremy and LeGrande get together to compare weapons, and this week everything is a little weird looking. First, LeGrande returns to the Gears of War franchise with Gears 5. Chainsaw rifles are still in style as he cuts through locusts in multiplayer and the campaign. He discusses what makes this entry its own, while Jeremy gets confused about "GoW" video game terminology. Jeremy takes the reins for Devil May Cry 5 and pulls out a motorcycle-revving sword and a book of emo poetry. Seriously. We discuss (as we do) our relative preference for the western storytelling style of DmC but how some of the DnA has made it into this game for the better.

In our latest top-of-the-week news show, we cover the most relevant events in gaming, like the Nintendo Switch Ring. And Fit Adventure. And Anthem. Trust us, you're going to be glad you heard all this stuff. Discord changes its Nitro policy, and a Hearthstone Pro gets his head turned around at an inopportune time.

We cover Nintendo's newest Direct and what they showed, SNES games on Switch, Overwatch and new joycon patents, transfer your Destiny 2 stuff, and DOOM gets a liquor.

In a very special episode of the GameBytes Show podcast, Jeremy is joined by one-time podcast cohost of yesteryear, Sean Kirkland from the Tech Gaming podcast! Jeremy and Sean bring that old-timey flair to the GBS podcast, giving "impressions" (the T-G term) of games we played this week. Sean starts the ball rolling with Dragon Quest 11, and we discuss its spiritual predecessor DQ8 and how they relate. Jeremy steers the show into Knights & Bikes, a new co-operative adventure games that embody the 1980s on lonely crummy islands in the North Atlantic.

Dale investigates the Witch Hat Nebula and finds the loneliest spot in all the galaxy to play the multiplayer space-exploration game. Jeremy plays new mobile game Witcheye, which is the best new eyeball-based collision platformer out this year! Join us as worlds and eyeballs collide!

The games we played this week are new spins on old ideas! This week Jeremy takes wing in No Man's Sky with the new Beyond update, including VR support and several improvements. Dale has to make the decision whether to plug back into the game after 60+ hours, but the decision may not be all that difficult. We pivot to LeGrande for the remainder of the show who has sampled the WoW Classic release this week, and he tells us whether it's worth it to return to Azeroth, again, for the first time.

Dale and Jerod and Jeremy have a theme going this week. Outer space and Norse mythology! Makes sense. In the games we played this week, Jeremy gives his final impressions on God of War 2018, and its slow burn and big payoffs. Dale and Jerod (who actually HAVE a theme) get into the newest updates from Elite Dangerous and the newly-released Rebel Galaxy Outlaw. There's a bit to compare and contrast here, and we'd hate for you to get your Dad of Boy mixed up with your Elite Galaxy Dangerous Outlaw.

It's time for that weekly dose of "catching you up" with the moving and shaking in the world of video games. Jeremy, Dale, and LeGrande get away from that summertime grill (or microwave) to usher in the week of current events you gotta have. Video games are under the microscope again in the wake of gambling and violence. Fortnite beats Apex Legends to the punch. No Man's Sky gets another big update! A new portable Switch dock option is funded. What is a "dad build"?? Then, we cover the new releases and freebies, and we discuss some of the "fundamentally fun" elements of videogames from all eras!

LeGrande kicks us off with a revisit to Crytek's PVPVE swamp stomp, Hunt: Shodown. How has the game progressed since its early alpha? Dale continues with Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, the Igavania game we've all been waiting for. Does it knock his socks off and take away his abilities until he regains them later? Last, Jeremy tries out the latest life-infusion for Grand Theft Auto Online, the Diamond Casino release. Does it raise the bar, or fold? Listen and find out!

In a very special episode of the GameBytes Show podcast, Dale returns from his asiatic wanderings just in time to TALK ABOUT VIDEO GAMES. Jeremy joins him and they fusion dance their way into a discussion of a mutual favorite: Final Fantasy 12. The Zodiac Age edition of the game brings some new features to the old Matsuno chestnut. We then proceed into something completely different with Housemarque's twin-stick shooter, Nex Machina. The game borrows from some of the studio's past titles and makes them into something new and kickin' (and shootin'). Come get some!

This week, LeGrande has been getting back on that Final Fantasy 14 train, and appreciates, of all things, the story? We talk a little about the job system and the relative progress the game has made in public opinion recently. Jeremy gets into grammar and programming and puzzles and googly-eyed bunnies with Baba Is You, and compares it to some of the other "genius" indie games of recent years.

The GameBytes Show crew is nothing if not mostly consistent, and this week we are bringing it back to our usual habits with a rundown of the games we played this week! And this week, "most" of the guys are here to talk about games they've played! Jeremy dove into the Monster Hunter Iceborne beta and gives us a rundown of the changes, improvements, and overall fun factor of the new expansion to Monster Hunter World. LeGrande grows a pair (of fangs) and stalks the streets of last-century London, making friends and eating people in Vampyr. Remember, you can pick your nose AND you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your friends out of your teeth after you consume them for their precious vitae and XP.

Dale and Jeremy are here for a podcast episode that is both illuminating and dark as we discuss the games we played this week. First, Jeremy taps the time away with the recent "medieval art rhythm game" Marginalia Hero. The music and illustrations are authentic, charming, and funny, but is the simple gameplay a turnoff? Then Dale gets dark with Gothic, which comes from the "gangy teenager" years of RPGs. How does it hold up in the light of the modern day? Come listen and find out!

Video Games were the case, on this episode of the GameBytes Show podcast! This week, LeGrande played the console release of Crypt of the Necrodancer Amplified, and we discuss some of the differences between the new expansion and the original release. Dale played English Country Tune, which is not about England, nor set in the country, nor has anything to do with music.

This week Dale and Jeremy present a dichotomy of mobile games, and we invite you along for the ride! First, Dale plays what appears to be a mobile-platform game upscaled to PC. Braveland is a hex-based strategy game that MIGHT approach X-COM or King's Bounty, but does it hold up to other "big boy" games? Jeremy comes at us with the new The Elder Scrolls Blades, which is hearkens back to early games in the long-running and respected series. But has it become "free-to-play-mobile-ified", or does it maintain its integrity as a proper gaming experience? Let's find out!

Dale has been playing Awesomenauts, but is it awesome, or naut? Jeremy is sleuthing for clues in Hot Tin Roof: The Cat That Wore a Fedora, but is it as clunky as the title seems to suggest?
