The Openly Beta Podcasts: Recent Episodes
Openly Beta
Sandbox is a (mostly-we're busy boys) weekly show where we discuss gaming, movies and TV. Join us as we delve into the latest news, listen to our beautiful hot takes and join us with a beer as we review obscure and often extremely mainstream brews and distillates.
Hitbox is a podcast which aims to be fortnightly, where we bring on a guest panelist every episode to delve into their top childhood games, as well as their overall top five of all time. The top 5 games of all them then join our ever expanding list of top games, where games duke it out to become the number 1 best game ever made.
We've seen it all before. Granted, this hasn't been delayed 100 times, but it's scarily close to release and Battlefield is pushing development time forward by a matter of weeks! (Also, we turn 50!)
We've been away for a while. Sorry about that. Look forward to some fequent weekly uploads. This episode is being released 17/09/21, then next episode is scheduled for 18/09/21. After that, we'll be sticking to a weekly schedule of every saturday evening. Jamie and Jack moved in with each other and moved to Scotland, which means we might actually be able to stick to our schedule for once...
As a side note, Hitbox will also return but sporadically. Hitboxes take a long time to make and rely on getting in guests, so due to that nature they will come when they are 'ready'. Having said that, we'd quite like to aim for a once a month schedule but more realistically it will hit every 2 months. We'll have to see how it goes!!
As well as discussing The Falcon and the Winter Solider, we tackle the bizarre leak of Last of Us Remake...
In this episode, we buck the trend for this slightly random installment of Sandbox by discussing movies first. In particular: Army of the Dead. Do we still need these types of movies?
We have a real toasty one for you today fans. We are joined by the venerable Manny the Mage, where we talk about his favorite childhood games, early YouTube DS Box-filming as well as placing his Top 5 games of all time in the Hitbox.
Project Athia has been promoted to non-working title not-a-project Forspoken. Exciting news.
In this chunky feast for your ears, we discuss the new Pokémon games, Little Nightmares 2 and Bravely Default 2.
Today, we are joined by ultra-dork Sam. You may not realize it, but this is quite a significant episode. Sam shakes up the tier list in a BIG way.
It's been a ride, the first Nintendo Direct in what feels like a lifetime. Jack hasn't seen it either, so Jamie gives him the review.
That's right. Warhammer 3 was on the cards for many years, but now the final chapter of the incredible series is finally upon us.
We're loving Wandavision here at Openly Beta. Listen to our theories at the end of this episode.
Nathan joins us for this puzzle-heavy episode featuring some wonderful memories of Cube World...
Lucasfilm and Lucasfilm games are suddenly pumping out some incredible content and we have a lot to say about it.
Last episode we looked at 2021 as a whole and since then, January being January, news has been slow. However! A new Nintendo Direct seems to be brewing, so we use that as an opportunity to focus on Nintendo this year.
We hit the ancient, respected tomes of Wikipedia for our longest podcast yet. 2020 was a bad year for everyone. Let's see what games can get us through 2021.
In this nice meaty episode, we cram in Cyberpunk 2077 discussion AND a whole slew of Game Awards goodies!
