The Softcast

What's that? Up on the rooftop? Well kids, that's the unmistakable sound of jolly ol' Nick delivering the Softcast's "year in review" episode! This year, Nick, Jim, Greg, and Jeremy reveal their biggest disappointments, personal "games of shame," and their top five bangers that closed out this decade of gaming... except Jeremy, who embarrassingly leaned too hard into the brand this year. So sit back, relax, and unwrap the greatest gift of all: paid vacations filled with the neglected, dust-covered video games on your shelf!

Trick or treat, Soft Boys and Soft Girls! Can't decide between the two? How about both?! For the treat side of things, Suzy, Dracula, Greg, Jim, Nick and Jeremy recorded their scariest takes on the latest in video games. Topics covered include the group's quick-and-dirty reviews for recent pickups, Playstation 5 hub-bub, Blizzcon scuttlebutt, and the scariest games known to man. As for the trick? Well, I lied...Suzy wasn't actually there for the recording (but Dracula definitely was - that's real). So sit back, relax, and enjoy the podca-- BOO! Ha! Tricked again, ya twerps. Now stay off my lawn!

You know what time it is? Time to talk about some of your favorite video games! Suzy, Greg, Jim, and Nick get together to chop it up about the latest and greatest in the world of gaming. Topics covered include the group's thoughts on Control, their highlights from the recent Nintendo Direct, which fall games will likely be left off of their queues, and more!

The Softcast is back! And boy are we back in style! Jim, Jeremy, Greg, and Nick are here to break down all the latest and greatest in video games. Topics covered include changes to the way folks are playing Apex Legends, Nintendo's upcoming game trials, a controversial new season of Fortnite, and the departure of something very near and dear to our hearts. Give us a listen and don't be afraid to smash that five start rating button!

E3 is back... and so is The Softcast! Yes, we have a lot of explaining to do. No, we won't go into the minutia of our absence. Yes, Jim, Greg, Aaron, Anthony and Jeremy bring you a super-sized episode of them diving into the biggest news coming out of this year's expo. No, they haven't become "better podcasters" after 31 episodes. Yes, you should head over to Softcore_Gamers on Twitter after to let them know what you think about The Softcast's triumphant return. No, I have nothing else to say after that last line. Yes, I'm done rambling. No, now I'm done.

The Softcast is 30 episodes old! That's like… 163 in dogcast years. And to celebrate this insignificant milestone, we bring some of the softest, silliest takes on the latest video-gum news in the business! Nick, Greg, Aaron and Jeremy chew on Battlefield V: Firestorm impressions, Nintendo VR praise, PSN ID changes, and the recently uncovered, heroic-tale from the brutal, almost forgotten "Star War" we just can't seem to get enough of. So strap in and head over to Softcore_Gamers on Twitter after to let us know what savage Star War story makes you feel like a kid again.

The day after April Fools' is traditionally filled with heartfelt apologies, and we've got plenty. First off, we're truly sorry for our (hilarious) month-long "not pushing out an episode" prank. Admittedly, we were conflicted on starting the joke prior to the holiday, but we couldn't resist the opportunity (you should have seen your faces)! Second, we absolutely apologize for a full episode of entertaining Apex battle-pass talk, Spring Nindies' chat, Googles Stadia gossip, and Jeremy's atrocious audio (you'd think he'd figure out this whole podcast thing by now, huh)? Lastly, we're terribly sorry for never asking you to head over to Softcore_Gamers on Twitter to let us know what you think of our recent banter - we'll be sure to remind you of that going forward. Sorry again about that.

Happy Valentine's Day, Softies! Today, we show our love to you all by struggling through two rather quiet weeks in the video game world. Admittedly, we were a bit strapped for cash, but we scrounged up a few bucks to romance you with a chocolate-covered Marshmello Fortnite concert, a stuffed Groundhog Day VR game, a box of candy Xbox Live hearts, and a fresh bouquet of EA shooter impressions! Grab some headphones, hit play and follow the rose petals to some Softcast goodness! And don't forget to head over to Softcore_Gamers on Twitter to let us know what other holiday you wish never existed!

New year, old habits! The Softcasters' resolution for 2019 was to sit down and record episode 27 before the year ended. Well guess what? We did it, naysayers. That's right. And now that we've met our goal... well, life is pretty much aimless for us now, actually. So while we find our purpose on a vision quest through New Hanover, gather 'round the campfire and listen to Jim, Jeremy, Greg and Anthony tell tales of Bungie's recent divorce, a Star Wars too far away, Division's division, and our thoughts on 2019's gaming lineup. Don't forget to head over to Softcore_Gamers on Twitter and let us know what you think about our cloudy forecast!
