GeekOut Heroes

Hey Geeks, this week we chat about Bungie openly admitting to plagiarism. Nintendo fans, and all fans for that matter, need to stop simping for companies who don't give sh*t about them. We talk a little about our experience with Soulframe. We also talk a bit about our time with Doom, the REPO beta, Bokura Planet, and Schedule 1. Additionally, we give some of our thoughts on some Anime we've been watching and recommend you stay away from one of them. And I just remembered I forgot to talk about Sinners, sh*t! Go see Sinners, it was freaking great.

Hey Geeks, this episode we talk about Microsoft increasing their prices now. This can only get worse. We also talk about EA firing hundreds of devs and more games journalists are losing their jobs. A few games got remastered/remade and this led us on a conversation about what the difference is and what games should be remastered/remade. Lords of the Fallen dev, CI Games, got flack for doing the right thing. Plus we give our opinions of a few games and an anime recommendation.

Hey Geeks! We're back and we've got some things to share with y'all. This episode we talk about Nintendo and the metric ton of stuff they dropped on everyone just a few weeks ago. And Bungie showed off Marathon to mixed reception. Will this be another Concord? We also chat a bit about what games we've been playing and give our thoughts on them, including Schedule 1 and Repo.

Hey Geeks, this week we talk about Valve/Steam is a continual threat to the gaming industry, but the biggest friend to gamers. We talk about a BioWare dev who decided gamers were mean and need to stop. We also talk a little about the failure of Avowed and how every lesson that could be learned from it will absolutely be ignored. Additionally we talk about some Anime we've been enjoying, a prequal for a beloved TV show that recently finished up, and a game whose franchise should just stop. 

Hey Geeks, this week is a rarity. We talk about politics. Now, now, nothing extremely serious. Just the fact that USAID gave money to publications to bat down Gamergate 2.0. That's right, the government thought they'd throw their hat into the arena of gaming affairs. As you can guess their understanding is about as extensive as Kotaku's so you can see where this is going. Anyway we also talk about a few games. Give our personal takes on Civilization VII. Catch up on some issues that cropped up involving Assassin's Creed Shadows. We even discuss some movies we're genuinely excited for. If you don't wanna hear out takes on the political nonsense, just skip ahead to 15:35 and you should be golden.

Hey Geeks, this week we talked a little more about CES; some new cases that looked promising, a Sex Android that didn't, and what the newest GPUs mean for the gaming industry moving forward. A reporter at Video Games Chronicle believes games aren't expensive enough for ... gamers. Then we talk about the Developer Direct from Microsoft. We also talk about the Rippaverse. And finally, we give our thoughts on some movies and MiSide.

Hey Geeks, happy 2025!!!! This week we do a little more discussion on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Square Enix has decided to updated their Harassment policy. CES happened and NVIDIA came out swinging and spouting vague truths. And finally we talk about what games we enjoyed most over the past year.

This week we talk about the things that excited us and the things that didn't from this year's Game Awards. We also discuss Amazon's Secret Levels (no spoilers) Close: "The Wassail Song" by Hawk Nelson

Hey Geeks, this week we talk about David Jaffe spouting off some nonsense. Obsidian's Art Direct decided he doesn't like money anymore and neither should Microsoft. Black Myth: Wukong got nominated for GOTY, but it doesn't seem like it has much of a chance of getting it from what we can see. We also talk about a couple of games we've been playing a make a few recommendations of what to spend your hard earned cash on this holiday season.

Hey Geeks, this week we talk about journalist learning to STFU. Dragon Age: The Veilguard isn't doing well and why these games truly fail. Game awards from every publication proves there is a bias and even The Game Awards had to make exceptions to add certain games. Square Enix and WB have lost money this year. The Powell Group decided to make a new friend. The ADL decided to go out of their way to defame Steam. Indian Jones and the Great Circle finally showed off some gameplay. Additionally we give our thoughts on TMNT: Splintered Fate, Mech Warrior 5: Clans, and a few more things.

Recorded on Nov 2nd. Hey Geeks, this one we talk about PS5 Pro, benefits of owning a PC, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, what games we're looking forward to, and a our opinions on a few movies we've watched recently.

Hey Geeks! This week we chat about BioWare. CD Projekt Red getting caught with their proverbial pants down with their DEI initiative. Ubisoft is in trouble but it's starting to seem intentional. Has DC turned the ship around? Is Silent Hill 2 Remake worth a replay for those who loved the original and is it worth a playthrough for first timers? Is Until Dawn Remake really a failure? Is The Casting of Frank Stone worth anyone's time and money? How was The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom? And what did we think of The Wild Robot? Close: "Thriller" by Michael Jackson

Hey Geeks, we're back with another fantabulous episode discussing the absurdity of the all the industries we love. This week we start off talking about some of the insanity from a specific Forbes writer who tries to hold others accountable while ignore his own BS. CD Projekt Red get themselves in hot water. While Ubisoft is a frog slowly boiling. Meanwhile BioWare has lost the plot entirely with Dragon Age Veilguard and gamers figured out what was wrong in 2 weeks where as the devs couldn't nail it down in 8 years. Additionally, the Heroes talk about what they think about PS5 Pro, provide a decent PC build list, and give their thoughts on Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Closing: "Jump in the Line" by Harry Belafonte & The Original Trinidad Steel Band

Hey Geeks, this week we chat about the how a group of YouTubers decided to demonetize another more successful group of YouTubers because of a difference of opinion, Windows can't get out of it's own way, Sony's new president doesn't know that PlayStation is just sitting on IPs they own, Concord shuts down and PlayStation refunded everyone, company's are completely incompetent and keep making terrible decisions, PlayStation announced the PS5 Pro and much more. We also give our opinions on Black Myth Wukong and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. Close: "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC

Hey, this week we talk a little about Intel, AMD, Batman The Caped Crusader, Ubisoft's missteps with Outlaws, Game Science keeps getting crap from publications over allegations and puts a CCP style gag order on streamers, Sony lets go of a bunch Bungie employees and gets treated very differently than XBOX, and much much more. Opener: "Summer Jam" by Set Your Goals Closer: " Gin and Juice" performed by The Gourds

Hey Geeks, This time we talk about Intel, the BS surrounding Assassin's Creed Shadows, EA is still EA, and much much more.  Close: "Ain't In Kansas Anymore" by Miranda Lambert

This week we bring you our new and improved podcast for a "modern aud ... LMFAO couldn't even write it out. Nah, it's the same derange shit we've always done. This week we talk about Games Workshop suing a fan for make 3D printable models of things they don't even make or use anymore. Shame on him for using assets they don't, right? O_o RoosterTeeth managed to rip off VIZ media by selling them RWBY. Mortal Kombat has had a drop off in the tournament scene but there's a very likely explanation for this. Are you tired of remasters? Well we suggest you just play the originals and tell publisher to pound sand. And that's only half of what we have to say on our shortest podcast in a long time.   Close: "Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis" by Mega Ran and Richie Branson

Hey Geeks, we're back with a more streamlined cast. Decided to not post the last one because it was waaaaaay too long. So here's that new new. This week we talk about the many games showcases that went down over the past month. We mainly only talk about what interested us, but we do cover some of the really bad stuff too. Thank you to all of you who follow us. You're all rockstars, whether you you like us or not. Close: "Peacekeeper" by Stereo Dive Foundation

Hey Geeks, this week we talk about the hellish painting of King Charles. At what point do geeks give up and call it quits? We discuss the latest win for gamers. We talk about the aftermath of Games Workshops recent decisions. We discuss Assassin's Creed: Shadows and why gamers hate it. Surprise, it's not bigotry. The Entertainment industries as a whole have forgotten how demographics work and they think they know better than their own customers. We also give our thoughts on some TV shows, a couple of movies and a few games we've been playing. Close: "Souvenir" by Bump of Chicken

Hey Geeks, this week we talk about some of the situation at Games Workshop. What happened with Helldivers 2 and has everyone come back? Microsoft gets thrown shade for closing studios they basically just bought, but do they deserve all the blame? The Suicide Squad was effectively the biggest loss for WB. A new Batman animated series is on its way and with a new "exciting" Harley Quan, oops, I mean Quinn. We also give our thoughts on some recent Horror movies including Abigail.  Close: "Irrational" by Randler Music

Hey Geeks, Happy Helldiver Liberation Day! Intro and Close: "Cup of Liber-Tea" by Wilbert Roget, II

Hey Geeks, this week we give an update on Gamergate 2.0 and give our honest opinions on the industry. We also give our thoughts on some Anime and a couple of games. Close: "Downfall of Us All" by A Day to Remember

Hey geeks, sorry this is not our Anime/Manga cast. That'll be next week (hopefully). This week we talk about the lies of the X-Men 97 creative lead along with how idol culture in needs to go away and how it's impacted the VTuber community recently.    Close: "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" by Whitney Houston   Want some crappy merch? https://the-goh-store.creator-spring.com

Hey Geeks, now the real journey begins. Sorry for our absence couldn't be helped. But we're back and back on schedule. We'll be back to our biweekly uploads and our plan is not miss a single one. We'll see how well that goes. This episode we talk about some of the nonsense with Suicide Squad, PlayStation's State of Play and Palworld. We also talk about a few other things here and there. Tone in next time for our special Anime talk and get all our latest recommendations. Close: "Faster" by Third Eye Blind Looking for shitty merch? https://the-goh-store.creator-spring.com

This week we talk about the GTA VI, the VGAs, Bungie losing control, and Sony backing off on service games. We also give our thoughts on some Anime and some games we've been playing. Close: "Shake Up Christmas 2011" by Natasha Bedingfield

Hey Geeks, this one we talk about Bethesda's making it awkward in reviews, the Fallout TV series, Doctor Who is officially dead to viewers, and on the state of gaming. Close: "You Are Undeniable (Amerigo Remix)" by Mos Def and Marvin Gaye 

Hey Geeks! It's spooky season so we decided to bring back the Watching Movies with the GeekOut Heroes were we watch a movie with you, our lovely listeners. That's right, all both of you. Today we're watching The Conjuring. Oooooooow, spoopy. So grab your popcorn, candy and drinks and prepared to be annoyed as hell while we ruin the movie for you.  Intro and Close: "Season of the Witch" by Donovan

Hey Geeks, we've tried to clean this up as much as we can. Hopefully this is decent enough for a listen through. Sorry for all the delays. Crap happens and happens often but hopefully 354 will be dropping soon after this. To those few who have stuck with us, thank you. To everyone else who left ... yeah, we get it. Anyway, we had some fun conversations here and hope you enjoy our stupid takes on the crap we all love. Close: "Anthem Part 3" by Blink 182

Sorry the absolutely late drop. We are having an issue with one of our mics and it made things difficult to say the least. So, we apologize for the poor audio quality and we are working on a fix. The episode was recorded a few weeks ago just after Unity tried to swindle some more money from developers using their engine. Nothing Netflix, Disney, Hulu, and Amazon aren't already doing to their customers by raising prices this difference is the developer community and gamers came together this time to say, "are you f*cking crazy?" Close: "If Old Blink 182 Wrote One More Time (A Blink Eras Montage)" by Alex Melton

Hey Geeks, we're talking about the spiritual successor to Saints Row 2022, Dustborn, and how well it's likely to do. Volition closed their doors after 30 years. Companies think you owe them your money and apparently Sony believes they're too big to fail again so they can charge you whatever they want for the same services you already have. Makes total sense, right? Companies need to be reminded that you have the power. Not them. So let them fail. We also give our opinions on Armored Core 6, The Last Voyage of the Demeter, and Boogeyman. 

Hey Geeks, we're back with a long one. Recently some developers said some pretty stupid stuff and we thought we chime in because what else can you do around a dumpster fire? Anyway, we thought the sentiments expressed translated to the general issues around quality in streaming services and films as well so once this all got started it just didn't stop. We're tagging everyone we can in this one cause the industry needs to start hearing gamers out instead of instantly thinking we're unreasonable and treating us all like children. The frustration is real. Close: "Springtime for Hitler Suite" by Mel Brooks

Hey Geeks, the catch up continues. This is our discussion primarily about the Xbox, Nintendo and Ubisoft showcases with a bit of extra stuff in between. But the biggest is obviously Starfield. Will this be the game to bring us back into being the Bethesda fanboys we know we've been? Who knows. Close: "If Bono and The Edge Started a Pop Punk Band" (Cover of 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For' by U2) by Alex Melton Wants to bad merch? https://the-goh-store.creator-spring.com/

Alright, still playing catch up. This is primarily our PlayStation Showcase discussion, but we also talked about the Call of Duty "boycott" that has never been. Additionally, EA is bringing back NFTs, yay. And Take-Two's CEO was praised for making a common sense statement about his employees. Close: " Beer Never Broke My Heart" (Pop Punk Cover) by Alex Melton Want some crappy merch? Sure you don't. https://the-goh-store.creator-spring.com/

Doesn't really matter what I put here. Not like anyone is listening at this point anyway.  Close: "Souvenir" by Bump of Chicken

Hey Geeks, this week we talk about the passing of a legend. We discuss our issues with Lightfall and whether we think Bungie really has a plan for the story. For a genre that seems extremely unpopular and unwelcome by gamers at this point, Service Games sure seem very popular with developers/publishers despite the failures that have come and gone. NFTs have failed repeatedly, so why is Square Enix still trying to make them a thing? Bethesda announced a new launch date for Starfield and a showcase date is on the horizon, but what do we expect from the game? We saw some movies recently and we give our recommendations. Be sure to follow us for my time wasting advice. Intro: "Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now (Theme from Perfect Strangers)" by David Pomeranz Close: "ひだまりの彩度" by konoco Looking for some crap to buy?

Hey Geeks, this week we talk about what games we recommend from 2022 and ask the question, will we get hardware refreshes this generation? We also give our thoughts on Hogwarts Legacy and give recommendations for some anime.  Close: "Cecilia" by Simon and Garfunkel     Looking for some crappy merch? Visit https://the-goh-store.creator-spring.com/

Hey Geeks, this week we talk about WotC giving up on the OGL changes. Could new fans be to blame for why our beloved franchises are failing. The DCEU sounds terrible. Hogwarts Legacy boycott failed. Netflix looses subscribers and does an about face on blocking password sharers. And a lot of BS in between.  Close: "Mr. Crumby" by The Audition Look for some crappy merch? Visit https://the-goh-store.creator-spring.com/

Hey Geeks, we're back for the new year with even more BS about the crap we love. This week we talk about business setting speed records for who can lose money and customers fastest. Ubisoft cancelled seven unannounced games and leadership give employees the preverbal wheel. Diablo IV's opening cinematic dropped and it looks good, but the game wreaks of Games as a Service. Microsoft is one of a number of companies having to let go of thousands of employees and a former 343 employees claims Halo sucks because of bad management and not bad development. Bungie is getting ready for Lightfall by changing and nerfing a lot of the things that players were having fun with to the point that this feels like starting over is some ways. And finally, Avartar 2: The Way of Water is the prettiest dumb movie we've ever seen. Close: "Happy End" by Lewis and Wave Meow Looking for crappy merch? Visit https://the-goh-store.creator-spring.com/

Hey Geeks! After a long break we're back to talk about the new Disney CEO which is the same as the old Disney CEO. Avatar: The Way of Water was super expensive to make. CGI in movies has gone downhill and so have AAA games. We give our take on why that may be. One of us wants Ski-bi dibby dib yo da dub dub Yo da dub dub (his) pronouns to be scat (I hated typing that). We talk about Anime we enjoy and one show we're giving up on. We also give our thoughts on some shows we're catching up with and a recent Netflix original which dropped, Wednesday (the show, not that day).  Close: "Scatman" by Scatman John Looking for terrible merch? Visit https://the-goh-store.creator-spring.com/

Hey Geeks, this one we complain and bitch a lot. Join us as we discuss how companies could simply avoid failing by listening to their customers. We talk about the fallout of what should have been successful ventures. We talk about out our excitement for Deadpool 3. Current PC tech is getting out of hand so what do we recommend for someone looking to make a build. Additionally, we share our thoughts on some movies and a few television series. Close: "All the Doubt in Town" by Eleventyseven Looking for merch? https://the-goh-store.creator-spring.com/

Hey Geeks, we're slowly getting caught back up. Have one more cast the drop this week. This one we chat about Jennifer Lawrence not understanding how pay-grades work. We're all tired of remakes. We're tired of a failing Hollywood consumed with agenda instead of storytelling. The Rings of Power does indeed have issues. Gaming companies are making strange choices that seem anti-consumer. Sony complained about Xbox exclusivity. Should 343 still being making Halo games? Saints Row releases buggy and bad. Hogwarts Legacy is apparently delayed and racist. Ubisoft seems pretty sure of themselves announcing six AC games in one go. And much more. Close: "By U a Drank" (Country Version) by Alex Melton Looking for merch? Visit https://the-goh-store.creator-spring.com/

Hey Geeks, sorry for the long break. This was recorded about four weeks ago and we talked about what's been shaking in geek culture. Are companies failing because they're woke or is there something more as well? Are the companies in control of our entertainment making good choices? Sony has concerns over the Activision acquisition, but are they valid? Does GTA VI need to be better than GTA V? We give our opinions on Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels, Trek to Yomi, and Two Point Hospital and Stray. We also give our input on The Orville Season 3, a bunch of Anime, and the film Bullet Train.  Close: "Arcade" by Wave Meow

Hey Geeks, this week we talk about Microsoft trying to play down Activision's role in the gaming industry. Activision's Raven Studios gets caught plagiarizing design. We've heard some possibly disturbing news about GTA 6's humor. Ubisoft has lost a large chunk of their workforce because they chose to not act and now several games are delayed. Knights of the Old Republic remake has been delayed indefinitely. GameStop gets a lesson in No F*king Thanks. It's looking more and more likely that Square Enix wants to sell themselves. Hollywood continues to demonstrate why they just need to shut the hell up. We also give our thoughts on the film Prey and show Paper Girls.    Close" Cynics and Critics" by Icon for Hire    Looking for merch? Visit https://the-goh-store.creator-spring.com/

Hey Geeks, as more and more fans find themselves on the other side of the line watching what they love get misused and damaged we decided we'd talk about the companies in control of the franchises fans love and how these corporations don't care about the properties they own or the fandom that actually follows them. Additionally, talk a little about Comic Con announcements, Digital Extreme announced Soulframe, Ubisoft cancelled 4 games and wants $70 for Skull and Bones, and The Last of Us Remake is also looking to get $70. We also give our thoughts on Stray, Power Washer Simulator, The Last Ronin, The Terminal List and some Anime.      Close: "Fireflies (Owl City) Played By 8 Different Drummers" by Alex Melton      Looking for merch?

Hey Geeks, we're back from a long break but we've got a fun one for you. This week we talk about companies inability to understand or even accept criticism from fans. At what point should fans just stop caring and supporting franchises from companies that hate them? Diablo Immortal is an epic disaster, but Blizzard doesn't care. Why? The answer may surprise you ... it's money. The PS5 UI and UX are awful. The New PlayStation Plus has rolled out. Are the other two tiers worth the extra cost? Ubisoft decided preserving a library isn't important. EA forgot they actually make single player games still. We also give our thoughts on Top Gun Maverick, Minions: The Rise of Gru, Stranger Things Season 4, and some Anime.

Hey Geeks, this is an old recording by now, but we're finally getting it posted. This was recorded about a month ago. We cover a lot, but you don't really care what this summary says, right? You're just here for our brand of stupid. Close: "Together" by rejection Looking for merch? Visit https://the-goh-store.creator-spring.com/

Hey Geeks! This episode we talk about the CW announced 3 shows. Gotham Knights (Game) isn't looking great. EA left Battlefield 2042 off their active titles list. EA and FIFA split as EA looks for a company to buy them up. Norman Reedus casually leaked Death Stranding 2. Team Fortress 2 players were staging a protest. We also give our additional thoughts on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and give some recommendations on some Anime. Close: "Game Over" by Falling in Reverse Looking for merch?
