Catching you up with the video game news of the week is important to us, so we want to do it right. This week we've hand-picked the finest news for you, gathered from around the bounteous internet. We set the table with FF7 Remake's commercial success, and then follow it up with other tasteful tidbits. System Shock steered by Tencent. G2A's audit results in a payout. Amazon Game Studios has actually released a game. Pac-Man turns 40, and Windows MIDIs turn 30. Plus, we discuss the relative popularity of mainline Final Fantasy games. Bon apetit!

We take our podcasting responsibilities seriously around these parts, so you'd better cooperate and be informed and edified by the week in video game news! LeGrande takes the wheel and rolls us through next-gen tech demos, EVO 2020 plans, J Allard's latest gig, and more! Jeremy handles the new releases and deals/freebies this week, and Dale brings some whimsy with a topic of low-effort game development and asset misapporpriation! Come and get it! Intro: "Lip's Theme (Super Smash Bros Remix)" - Panel de Pon Outro: "Main Menu" - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Podcast audio produced by Jeremy Lamont
This week we kick off Jeremy’s new project of talking about games that are on free weekends or promotional periods! Legrande starts us off though, with a reminder that Terraria is pretty good (or IS it, Dale?) and Dale returns to the Warhammer well with an Age of Sigmar tabletop simulation in Warhammer Underworlds Online. Jeremy’s game of the week is The Golf Club 2019, and so we spend some time on the fundamentals.

Fresh off the festivities of the galaxy far away, we have returned to steal the death star plans and your heart with our newest episode dedicated to some very exciting video games. LeGrande has been bare-knuckle fighting with Streets of Rage 4 and its his first time with the series, so Jeremy comes in with the double-team it. Dale has returned to Fallout 76 and finds it to be different but perhaps still not quite what fans want. Jeremy has returned to Pandora (but only for a while) with Borderlands 3, but is it everyone's cup of tea? Intro: "Hold On" - Borderlands 3, by Animal Fiction Outro: "They're Back" - Streets of Rage 4, by Yuzo Koshiro Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y Podcast audio produced by Jeremy Lamont
Today we observe the unofficial official favorite holiday of the podcast by wearing hats, inventing dogs, and swearing off gas power. But we also dutifully bring you the video game news of the week, as prepared by LeGrande! Lots to say about Xbox, not so much about the software, events are being canceled, postponed, and reimagined. Seal speculatively wins a Mario Tennis tournament. We also discuss the ENTRAPMENT OF YOUR MIND with all these free video games. What's the proletariat to do?? Intro: "Trophy Win" - Mario Tennis Aces Outro: "The Storm Boat" - Streets of Rage 4, by Olivier Deriviere Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y Podcast audio produced by Jeremy Lamont
WB. A new games podcast is upon us, and we're keeping it to that very-standard 30-minute podcast using acronyms this time.

We think you'll be quite H with this 1.

We have returned with a vengeance! Or, at least with 10 minutes of pretttty good banter, if we do say so ourselves. This week we reunite to talk about news of the week in Fortnite, SEGA, Nintendo Online hacks, The Last of Us leaks, GeForce Now, and more. We cover the new releases and special gimmies (that's what we call them now) and we discuss video game documentaries that we have known, and think you should know too.

Come on in, the anime is fine! Jeremy gets his articulated mech-hands on Into the Breach before it time-warps out of the Xbox Games Pass program. Dale has started in with The Elder Scrolls Online, and what he has to say is massive. Get it while the getting is good!

In this week's news show, we slurp at the drip-feed of PlayStation 5 news with the DualSense controller, chew on an "indefinite" game delay, and look at how Animal Crossing New Horizons is spilling into real life. We also cover new releases, a bunch of freebies and upates, and since remakes are grinding in the rumor mill, we discuss some notable "best-case" remakes in video games! Intro: "Quick Man" - Mega Man: The Wily Wars Outro: "8am" - Animal Crossing New Horizons Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y Podcast audio produced by Jeremy Lamont
We're here to play pranks and play video games. Or mostly play video games. And talk about playing video games. And you're here to listen, right? Let's get to it! This week LeGrande has donned the VR goggles and played Half-Life Alyx, and barely made it back with his face intact. Jeremy looks off into Animal Crossing New Horizons, and brings the guys some context and recommendations for time at home with family.

The news this week is coming in slow but hot, like a pleasant burning sensation. This week we catalogue the details of the recent Nintendo Direct Mini, some changes to the upcoming speedrunning event schedules, a recommendation from WHO?, and some quick turnaround mods for some pretty good games. We discuss the new releases and some freebies, and we talk about what we've done to deal with copius downtime using video games and family time. Intro: "Battle Theme" - Bravely Default 2 Outro: "Main Theme" - Dragon's Lair (NES) by Mark Cooksey Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y Podcast audio produced by Jeremy Lamont
It's the time of the week that we bring the GAMES, and it's been a pretty good week as far as game time goes. The guys have brought a bounty to offer you in case you've got some time on your hands to figure things out. Dale has broken fellowship with Magic for a week to play The Lord of the Rings: The Adventure Card Game. It's much better than it sounds. Jeremy checked out Ninja Theory's new character-based arena shooter Bleeding Edge. As prophecy foretold, LeGrande has gone all-in on DOOM Eternal. Intro: "Gladiator" - DOOM Eternal, by Mick Gordon Outro: "Main Menu" - Bleeding Edge, by Daniele Gallante Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y Podcast audio produced by Jeremy Lamont
This week's show seems like it would be less momentous, but gosh darn it we'll make a mountain out of that molehill! The video game news of the past few days includes the remnants of the now-canceled GDC including Mark Cerny's PS5 talk, the Steam Game Festival, and the IGF winners. We also discuss a leaked Tales from the Borderlands trailer, Gamestop's coronavirus saga, and a few tidbits from Valve and Gabe Newell to tickle your post-brain interface. Plus, we hit the new releases, freebies, and deals, and we construct a no-fail home curriculum for kids home from school for extended periods. Definitely use it this week.

This week we've got a little something for everyone, from Ori to Flammie and everything in between in this false continuum. LeGrande finishes off Ori and the Will of the Wisps and it may be a contender for his game of the year so far! Dale has been giving up physical cards for digital ones with Magic the Gathering: Arena. Jeremy has been playing the oldie-but-goodie(?) Secret of Mana on the Nintendo Switch "Secret of Mana Collection." Get your flammie on!

In this week's games-we-played extravaganza, Dale and LeGrande and Jeremy have been hitting some new hotness and also a Warhammer game. Dale gets that last bit out of the way up front by discussing Warhammer: 40,000: Inquisitor: Martyr. (Colons speculative). LeGrande has been playing the new Warzone mode in Call of Duty Modern Warfare, and Jeremy gets a shot in at the Final Fantasy VII Remake demo before talking mostly about Ori and the Will of the Wisps.

LeGrande and Jeremy tackle the newsiest news of the week in video games! We find this week that more public gatherings are succumbing to viral marketing. A couple of big players log out of E3. The nintendo Playstation has sold at auction for a tidy sum, but was it worth it? The Last of Us gives up the movie adaptation for something a little different, and Google is on the ball and starting a game studio for that Stadia platform you may have heard is coming out. Plus, we talk about new releases and freebies and sales, and we discuss the most historically under-utilized genres in video games! Intro: "Practice Makes Perfect ( Mario Teaches Typing Rap) - by Legacy X Outro: "Bombing Run" - Final Fantasy VII Remake, by Nobuo Uematsu Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y Podcast audio produced by Jeremy Lamont
Dale, Jeremy, and LeGrande ride again! This week, LeGrande crushes the news beat with news of show closures and postponements. Live streams can be pronounced both "live" AND "live" when the coronavirus is involved. We cover the new releases and freebies circulating this week. Then we discuss games of extreme complexity and whether we have been scared away or drawn into them for that reason. Join us! We're basic! Intro: "Theme of Infinite" - Sonic Forces, by Tomoya Ohtani Outro: "High Above Tassel Town (The Sky Bridge)" - Shantae Half-Genie Hero, by Jake Kaufman Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y Podcast audio produced by Jeremy Lamont
Dale and Jeremy use the buddy system to spot each other in this week's games-we-played episode. Dale feels the burn in Ring Fit Adventure, and explains just how to avoid getting TOO shredded at Nintendo's "squeezy-circle"-based exercise game. Jeremy plays an old vertical-shooter classic that you've probably heard of called Radiant Silvergun, and it makes him kind of mad but it's also worthy of respect. Which game causes more forehead-vein popping? Listen and find out!

LeGrande has some reservations about The Division 2, but... eh, he'll play it.

Dale, LeGrande, and Jeremy hit the news HARD this week, like newsaholics returning uncontrollably to their newsahol. This week LeGrande handles things with news from Blizzard, Blizzard, Blizzard, and some other stuff. Dale picks over the bones of this week's release list, and Jeremy gets into a state of angst thinking about whether time playing (and re-playing) video games is well spent or a waste of life force. Intro: "Battle for Azeroth (login screen)" - World of Warcraft, by Jason Hayes Outro: "Bones" - Death Stranding, by Low Roar Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y
Jeremy and LeGrande stream the video game news of the week directly to your brain, including winners of the DICE Awards. The Sonic movie is out, and it's confounding...ly good? PS5 cost analysis. Nintendo PlayStation could be yours! Steam will read your mind. And the IRS is coming for your V-bucks. Plus, we update you on the few new releases to hit this week, and we take a quick audit of the state of game streaming services.

In what might be called by some as "the plain oatmeal" of GBS episodes, we bring you what WE might call "a bit of a palate-cleanser." Sometimes the video games we play are underwhelming, or perhaps just whelming. This episode will whelm your pants off, guaranteed. Jeremy begins by saying Hello Neighbor, but would he rather say Goodbye? Dale feels that Juno's Darkest Hour is quite adequate indeed. LeGrande has sampled the ennui of Apple Arcade, which is filled with great stuff that he can't really bring himself to play. And that's it. That's the podcast. Intro: "Exit the Gungeon (Full Ver)" - Exit the Gungeon, by doseone Outro: "Hello Neighbor Intro (Alpha 2)" - Hello Neighbor, by Nikita Kolesnikov Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y
Video Game News is back, in case you hadn't noticed. But more than that, your GameBytes Show is back! Jeremy, Dale, and LeGrande hit the most important news going on these days. Lots of delays. Some Witchers. AGDQs and other pluralities of things. Plus, new releases and goodies! Then, we give our PREDICTIONS for 2020. Who will be the worst? (It's Jeremy.) INTRO: "Showtime" - Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE, OUTRO: "End Will Come (Instrumental)" - Hunt Showdown Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y
Dale and Jeremy hit the internet airwaves again to talk about games that we've played in the last little while. Jeremy swears he has not talked about Ultimate Chicken Horse before, and summons his raccoon spirit guide to wash the good times off and scurry them away to his hoard. Dale gets back into his alternative-roguelike thing with Dicey Dungeon, and we try to nail down whether the GOTY 2020 has already been found. INTRO: "Waterfall" - Ultimate Chicken Horse, by Vibe Avenue OUTRO: "Beginner's Luck" - Dicey Dungeons, by Chipzel Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y
It's been a momentous week as both the year and the decade have rolled over on the calendar, as long as you don't count it on your fingers. We once again bring the full crew to bear and discuss the past 10 years in games, including some of our favorite games, biggest trends and changes, and how the years changed us too. Come along with us as we wrangle Jeremy's overgrown list of topics and actually get to the core of the "twenteens." Yeah, we're gonna make that word a thing. Intro: Guild Wars 2 Outro: Spelunky Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y
You've waited, you've wondered, you've wanted and wagered, but now you are freed from all those W words, and you can weep with joy: The 2019 GameByties are here! The full crew of LeGrande, Dale, Jerod and Jeremy weigh the games of the year that was 2019 and we pick the very best, hands-down winners. Marvel at the spectacle and wisdom as we draw your attention to the most magnificent video games of the last year. Dress your best, the red carpet awaits! Thanks for listening in 2019! Onward 2020! Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y
It's time for another Jeremy-and-LeGrande-with-nothing-in-between sandwich! This week, Jeremy finishes off the Shovel Knight Treasure Trove saga with King of Cards. Does it live up to his kingly expectations? LeGrande shinobis his way into Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and seems to enjoy it... but the question is whether he makes it sound appealing to anybody else. Intro: "Troupple Pond" - Shovel Knight King of Cards, by Jake Kaufman Outro: "Emma the Physician" - Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, by Yuka Kitamura Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y
Jeremy and LeGrande substite a news show for a VIDEO GAMES show, because it's that time of year. We pick a couple of games that play around with the idea of boredom, intentionally or unintentionally, and we're going to explore our own reactions and analyze ourselves deeply. Jeremy played Death Stranding and does his best to candidly explain what the heck is going on. He compares Final Fantasy 15, Dark Souls, Metal Gear, and others. Good comparisons? You decide. LeGrande digs into the reincarnation of one of his favorite series, Star Control Origins, but how does it strike him in 2019? Intro: "Alien Altercation" - Star Control Origins, by Riku Nuottajärvi, Outro: "A Final Waltz" - Death Stranding, by Ludvig Forssell Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y
In a very special look around at who's-saying-what about video games (who isn't already us), we cover a trifecta of game awards and announcement events that kept us rapt with attention this past week. Of course there are other items of news, but we focus this time on Geoff Keighley's The Game Awards, the winners and others who were recognized, as well as Nintendo's Indie Showcase and Sony's State of Play. It doesn't sound like much, but it's like fighting 100 ducks inside 1 gigantic horse. Good luck to all of us.

It is, after all, the year of the goose, and our two-man formation is flying strong this week with Jerod and Dale, talking about the games they played. Jerod brings us a double-dose of great and recent picks, with the long-awaited MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, and the much-acclaimed Disco Elysium. Dale gives us a midweek hit of his recent escapades in Assasin's Creed Syndicate. Get in formation!!

In this episode, Dale kicks us off with the PC debut of the big-boy Halo franchise with Halo Reach, newly re-released but still as good as ever! Jeremy spends time with GameByties 2018 unanimous winner, Battletech, and its latest (and final?) expansion, Heavy Metal. LeGrande samples the remastered fare of the 2019 Resident Evil 2 remake. Burrrrp. Delicious!

As December rolls up to the club (aka "The GameBytes Show"), the news is hoppin' (aka "occurring") up in here and the shawties (aka "Jeremy and LeGrande") be trippin' (aka "reporting the news") and droppin' it low to the floor (aka "discussing new releases") and we ran out of clubbing metaphors but we also discuss whether we are ready for all-streaming game services and whether they are ready for us. Intro: "Chicago City Museum" - John Woo's Stranglehold, by Cris Velasco & Sascha Dikiciyan Outro: "The Trials" - Halo 5: Guardians, by Kazuma Jinnouchi Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y

We sniff over the nominees of The Game Awards 2019 and its copious eSports categories, new was to play with friends on Steam, Stadia is HOT, Kojima thinks horror, and we have a pretty good offer on some real-estate for you, if your inventory contains enough cash. Plus, we dig into our wishlist on news of remakes and talk about our current wishlist for a from-the-ground remake. Intro: "Full Burn" - Star Citizen: Squadron 42 Outro: "Aztec Theme - Atomic Age" - Civilization 6, by Christopher Tin Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y
This week our hosts have played a number of great new games! Of course, these terms are relative, after all, but we're sure they're pretty good. And fairly new. They pass the whiff test. This week, LeGrande has been playing the sandwich-spread-sounding Pistol Whip, which he says is the best VR experience he's had this year. Jeremy navigates the idea of "pretty mutants" (we're still not sure what he meant) in Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden. Dale shares with us the joys of next-gen ziplining in Assassin's Creed Syndicate. Intro: Mutant Year Zero Road To Eden - OST - Main Theme Outro: HVDES - R U Afraid Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y

Plus, we cover the newest releases, freebies, and we talk about Half-Life 3 on its 15th anniversary and Jeremy absolutely positively does not make a prediction that was proven wrong nearly as it left his mouth. Intro: "Dark Energy" - Half-Life 2, by Kelly Bailey Outro: "Wood Chopping Theme" - Shenmue 3, by Ryuji Iuchi Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y
In this week's voyage of podcasting entertainment, we eventually get our bearings and set sail for video games! LeGrande plays either The Elder Scrolls Legends or Online, and explores the distinctions between whichever-one-it-was and its nearest competing cousin. Jeremy's got the beat with the new(ish) Harmonix VR game Audica. Dale gets into a groove of his own with Wargroove, and we discuss what special place it has in its genre, or not. Intro: "Cheeky Ruckus" - Wargroove, by Phonetic Hero Outro: "Beauty of Dawn" - The Elder Scrolls Online, by Jeremy Soule, Brad Derrick, Rik Schaffer and Malukah Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y

Red Dead Rdemption 2 struggles on PC. Gris is misappropriated for self-care. More Twitch streamers are leaving for greener pastures.

In our most saturated-by-Halloween-but-not-overtly-about-Halloween episode, we brave the scary Internet of things to talk to you about the video games that we're playing this week. Dale jumps into The Outer Worlds to use his skills for space colonization and glory. Jeremy gets back to his natural graffiti roots with Jet Set Radio on PS Vita. LeGrande tries out Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and we think it's the new one and not the old one, but we're still not sure. Intro: "Rock It On" - Jet Set Radio, by Hideki Naganuma Outro: "The Passenger" - The Outer Worlds announcement trailer, by Iggy Pop Check out our Discord community at https://discord.gg/ZTzKH8y
