Coins 2 Continue

This week we discuss the latest episode of Sony PlayStation's State of Play stream. We take a look at each game featured and break down why some people are setting themselves up for massive disappointment in the Final Fantasy VII Remake.

What will be the most appealing elements of the next generation of gaming? This is just the start of a much longer conversation, but it is time to start talking about it. This week we also discuss if we're going to be stepping outside to wave wands for Harry Potter: Wizards United like we hit the streets for Pokemon Go.

We're adding something to the show's formula this week, so we open up with an Outside The Arcade discussion (no spoilers) of Avengers: Endgame before stepping inside to talk about tabletop games, reviews, and another chapter in the game developer crunch saga.

What are the best games of all time? Ryan from The Kids Wear Crowns and host of Don't Call This A Podcast collaborated with us and orchestrated a discussion centered on the top 10 games that both of our communities votes on as the best video games of all time. With all your votes tallied, it's time to debate and put the list in order.

This week, Katie dishes on her new and completed PC setup and how the first stream on it went down, Charles talks about why the Jedi: Fallen Order reveal underwhelmed him just a little bit, and the dopest gaming duo in podcasting discuss what the ideal game development work culture looks like from the outside.

The Google Stadia conversation continues with some input from the community and CSJR has some exciting news regarding the future of Coins 2 Continue along with a major change in employement. One aspect of the change is already public knowledge, but there's another that #Coins2 listeners will know before anyone else.

This week we discussed a ton of things going on around the industry, but we closed out the episode with a chat about Google Stadia. Listen close, because we need our community's help with the second and final part.

Strap in for a bumpy ride on the feels train! This week's episode features game developer and streamer Ryann Weller, who climbed up from Q/A to develop games such as TellTale's The Walking Dead, Tales from the Borderland, Call of Duty: World at War, and Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Pikachulita had a dominant front page performance on Twitch for Women's History Month, including achieving her fund goal for getting her first gaming PC. This week, we discuss her upcoming transition and Charles's love for console gaming, despite being a long-tenured PC gamer.

This week we discuss Treyarch's take on the wildly popular battle royale mode with Blackout in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Nintendo held a Nintendo Direct stuffed with content recently as well, so we tackle the surprise announcement and the crook that is Tom Nook.

After a near two-month hiatus, the dopest gaming podcast has returned! No Man's Sky is the new hotness again, so we discuss how we feel about games with wack launches. We also share what we've been playing, life updates, and a future addition to the #Coins2 podcast family. Thank you all for your patience and we really hope you enjoy the show. Much love.

A new week and new episode is upon us. There are a lot of things that happened this week that we'll have to wait to address next week, but that doesn't mean we don't have a full show ahead.

On Ep 36, Katie finally speaks on God of War, we mashup two of our favorite games, we break down the E3 leaks, and a whole lot more!

What rhymes with episode 9? Showtime!!!...kinda. Today’s episode is all over the place.
