TBC
Welcome to The Backlog Chronicles. We are a gaming podcast that challenges fanboy beliefs, and takes a pragmatic approach to all things gaming.

Take a seat... the show’s about to begin. We hope you enjoy
For TBC 79, we were joined by friend of the show, Neo (@NeoGameSpark) as we tackled this week’s mind blowing gaming events. PlayStation doesn’t rest on their laurels and acquires Bungie - a power move that signals an alternate direction for them. Is PlayStation attempting to become the premier Live Service platform in the future? We discuss! Also, Ghostwire Tokyo looks batshit crazy, and we’re here for it. Rockstar surprises no one with a GTA 6 announcement. Tangential rambles are also in play, as usual
Also, Drama Alert (!) returns! We do our best to cover the latest & greatest dramatic Twitter takes (indirectly) provided by the lovely Twitter rock kickers.
If you’d like to catch us live, join us Sunday nights at 8pm EST! We hope to see you in the chat with us, as we Laugh, talk, and ramble with our friends in the community. Cheers, everyone
On TBC 76, we talk Hitman to Game Pass! Dying Light 2! Halo Infinite store improvements!
And for the first time ever, trivia with out friends, which ended up being a lot more funny and entertaining than it had any business being.
We hope you enjoy, and we thank you for listening. Cheers
Come join our friendly community of friends and us live every Sunday night at 8pm EST for the talks, the laughs, and whatever else randomly comes up!

Brethren in gaming arms! It is now July, and we are through the calm period leading up to Ghost of Tsushima, as well as the Xbox Series X first party event! It has been quite a busy week with all of the news drops, so we figured we'd go through the interesting stuff and dissect it all. It ranges from games being too long, to the neverending Harry Potter RPG rumor, to Crash 4 having (and not having) microtransactions, and touching on the inevitable price increase of video games. As always, we usually go off on some tangential stuff related to the topics at hand, and we appreciate every one of you who have told us they enjoy the show, and ways we can improve it. Thank you for continuing to let us grow our project with all of you. Enjoy, friends.

Enjoy, friends.
