Analizamos con lupa el gameplay de Eiji Aonuma y todo lo que nos espera, aunque también nos detenemos en el batacazo técnico que ha sido The Last of Us Parte 1 en PC en su lanzamiento, y cómo Naughty Dog, además de sus planes con el multijugador para este verano, va a tener que ayudar a Iron Galaxy a arreglar este drama. Por otra parte, nos ponemos al día de reviews de juegos de realidad virtual VR como The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners Retribution, The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR, Les Mils BodyCombat VR o Before your Eyes. Tiempo también para la última hora de Activision Blizzard con Microsoft, el doblaje de Diablo IV y varios buenos debates más. 🎮 ¡Apoya Reconectados y participa en todos los sorteos! 🎮 ✅ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/reconectados 🖥 ¡Sigue nuestro canal de Twitch! 🖥 ✅ Suscríbete a Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/reconectados 💰 ¡Únete a nuestro grupo de Telegram de ofertas! 💰 ✅ Canal de ofertas: https://t.me/ofertasvideojuegosreco 🎙️ ¡Escucha Reconectados cada semana: Jueves 18:00! 🎙️ Ivoox: https://www.ivoox.com/podcast-reconectados-videojuegos_sq_f1467878_1.html Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0TzgUfUZppavUlKeRreIXL iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/es/podcast/reconectados-videojuegos/id1304330116 📱 ¡Síguenos en redes sociales! 📱 Twitter: @ReconectadosPod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ReconectadosPodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reconectadospod/ Jabote: @Jabote22 Manu: @ManuGmn

A mere 200 days after launch the world's best (?) Melee-focused, Wrestling-themed BR is shutting down. Did it deserve it? We do a deep dive, from the rafters, on Iron Galaxy's Rumbleverse and try to unpack why it would be pulled from Epic stores after a mere 6 months. 

This week, MJC and Dave are covering Multiversus' struggles, PlayStation Plus bringing the heat this month and which game ruled the top of the NPDs. Plus we have some SuperBowl and Game Boy on Switch impressions. Opening song is Deja Vu by Popskyy - https://popskyy.bandcamp.com/If you'd like to donate to us using PayPal, you can do so with this link. https://www.paypal.me/digitaldaysgamingIf you would like to order DDG merchandise click below: https://teespring.com/digital-days-gamingPatreonDiscordTwitter: @DigitalDaysPodDave Twitter: @GoodDaveHuntMichael Twitter: @The1stMJCTwitch: @DigitalDaysGamingFacebook PageFacebook GroupYouTubeTikTok

Chris Charla chats with Chelsea Blasko and Adam Boyes while at D.I.C.E. Barcelona. Fresh off their discussion on the D.I.C.E. stage, they discuss what being Co-CEOs of Iron Galaxy means; their history with Iron Galaxy and what led to their current roles; how their respective strengths compliment each other; working together with founder Dave Lang to make key studio decisions; the predatory nature of treating a workplace as a "family"; and their company values focused on improving employee quality of life while helping them evolve as a studio. Listen to the full episode now or watch this episode on our Youtube channel.

Adam Boyes is the co-CEO of Iron Galaxy Studios and a former PlayStation executive. In August, his studio launched 'Rumbleverse', a professional wrestling-inspired battle royale game published by 'Fortnite' creator Epic Games. So far, it's seen millions of engagements and is inspiring a new level of creativity in the crowded video game genre. "Chelsea, my co-CEO, said, 'we should do wrasslin.' And that word, how she said it, so perfectly encapsulated it. What if you could do an elbow drop off a 40-story building? Then that night, we just sort of jammed for five hours. What would that be like? What would this world look like?" You can follow Adam and Iron Galaxy here.

Ho ho ho? Uh, try no no no! Nerdologues co-founder Kevin Reader finally came on the show to chat about his favorite athlete. From being a nerdy kid in jr high who got into basketball because it's what his friends were into (and because he grew up in IL in the 90s) to playing pickup basketball with Deron Williams in college, Kevman found an idol in Mutombo when he got his story and stats in a physical, chapter-a-month encyclopedia mailing. Can't deny a guy who didn't start playing basketball until he was 15 in DR Congo and started college at 21 (even though he denied players on the court for 18 seasons in the NBA). Better late than never! Thanks to Iron Galaxy for sponsoring and the Chicago Podcast Cooperative for coordinating sponsors.  

We love year-end best-of discussions! Love 'em! This week, Tim, Clayton, Kellen, and special guest John Patrick Coan bandy about their choices for game of the year. We'll discuss Overwatch, Doom, No Man's Sky, and even Pokemon Go! Two of those titles are discussed pretty derisively, though. Guess which ones! Thanks to Iron Galaxy for sponsoring this week's episode and thanks as always to the Chicago Podcast Coop!

From Puttin' on the Ritz to a shitload of dimes, Will Biby has loved all things Mell Brooks since he caught Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles as a young man thanks to the gentle prodding of his father. Since then, Will has dug into the deeper cuts of Mel's career and went so far as to host a staged reading of Mel's first film and one of his personal favorites, The Producers, to celebrate his own 30th birthday. Will and MBS attempt to discuss some modern comedy that has Brooks's influence all over it and what exactly it is that Mel did so right.  Thanks to Iron Galaxy for sponsoring and the Chicago Podcast Cooperative for its coordination of sponsorships and so much more. EDIT - MBS noticed some lost words in this episode upon a relisten, and it turns out the raw audio is fuckity and thus unfixable. Big bummer, but CERTAINLY doesn't make it unlistenable. Just a word or part of one lost every so often. Sincere apologies as this is certainly not up to the standard the show hopes to keep.

If there's anything Abby McEnany is better at than making people laugh, it may be laughing at herself. Don't be fooled by the self-deprecating title: This conversation is about how Abby has embraced the person she is, how she has used it to influence her comedy, and how so much of one's path and career has to be about being happy in the place you are. In the same way that "improv is all about reframing," Abby is affecting change she wants to see by reframing and being true to herself, a "queer fat failure." See Abby's one-woman show, Work In Progress, 8/19 or 9/2 at 10:30 at the iO Theatre.

On the third anniversary of the release of the first episode of MBSing, MBS holed up in a studio and took 35 calls from past guests of the show. The topics ranged from specific episode updates to current concerns to catching up. Here's the fourth installment of nine calls from friends: Nick Johnson, who shared a story about the worst NOFX concert experience he has ever had.  Bryan Duff, who addressed some FAQs he gets about his episode re gluten, food allergies, and paying attention to what your body wants and needs nutritionally.  Claire Friedman, who realized her life changed pretty drastically mere days after recording her episode. Eileen Tull, who gets to rejoice over The Force Awakens surpassing her expectations for it. Kevin Budnik, who ran me through a Kid's Choice Awards ballot from a 1998 issue of Nickelodeon Magazine. Erin Lann, who talked to me about giant, penis-resembling ocean worms.  Julie Marchiano, who asked me about my dad in Cats and explored the change her gluten allergy has had on her hot dog enjoyment. Mark Colomb, who questioned my continued enjoyment of podcasting and speaks to the effect his change in environment and employment has had on his own podcasting habits.  Lee Russell, who asked me if I'd seen any horror films recently and recommended The Invitation, Green Room, and The Lobster. Thanks to Iron Galaxy and The Chicago Podcast Cooperative.

If you love video games, it's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year -- E3!

On the third anniversary of the release of the first episode of MBSing, MBS holed up in a studio and took 35 calls from past guests of the show. The topics ranged from specific episode updates to current concerns to catching up. Here's the third installment of nine calls from friends: Vernon Mina, who remarked on how much we made each other laugh and offered a clarification of his parents' roles in his life.  Eric Braband, who made a Spotify playlist of Rustic Overtones songs and remarked on our newfound cohabitation.  Katie Wadsworth, who updated myself and the listeners on her transition from moving back in with her folks to making the move to LA. Max Temkin, who laments our grounded Animorphs podcasting endeavor and pitches a few substitutes. Katie Utke, who speaks her thoughts on Harry Potter and the Sacred Child, the film adaptation of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and Emma Watson's turn in a live-action Beauty and the Beast. Mark Logsdon, who updated on his status with new dad life becoming the new normal after almost a year of it. Alex Talavera, who scolded me for not checking out someone I know being on No Reservations and updated me on US passport holder stats. Matt Visconage, who confirmed the truth of all of his proposed conspiracies including the marking up of momentarily popular Mighty Muggs. Bill Green, who got so fed up by the political system that he's going to law school at Notre Dame in the fall to tackle the issues as much as he can. (PS sorry my side of the audio for this one is VERY low.) Thanks to Iron Galaxy, The Chicago Podcast Cooperative, and Lizzo.

Blizzard's Overwatch has quickly become the game on everyone's mind. This week, the Campaign podcast's John Patrick Coan joins Tim, Clayton, and Kellen to explore the game, and it's a real love-fest, friends. Is Overwatch really flawless? You'll find out what these four dudes think! Plus, we read our most earnestly negative review yet. One star! Thanks to Iron Galaxy for sponsoring today's episode, and thanks to the Chicago Podcast Coop for making that all happen. 

If you listen to our show and its amazing, tight introductions, you know how much we love the Chicago Podcast Coop. This week, we're stoked to welcome the cohosts of another Coop show, Roboism, to the studio to chat about a bunch of stuff, but mostly Miitomo, a weird new app thing from Nintendo. Plus, fans of Talking Musicals won't want to miss this one! Thanks to our sponsors for this episode, Iron Galaxy. We love ya!

I believe it was the philosopher Plato who recognized the value of a good question. Well, you're going to get a ton of those today as Tim, Clayton, and Kellen take on more queries from all of you lovely listeners. As a bonus, they also review any requested title, even if they haven't played them! Because remember, knowledge is not a requisite for forming an opinion. Thanks to our sponsors for the episode, Iron Galaxy, as well as the Chicago Podcast Coop as always!

Stand back as Lisa and I get down and dirty into why she loves science. From her first visit to the beach (not a lake) to sailing various seas as a cruise ship entertainer, Lisa has loved marine biology since she was around 10. Along with learning about Rosalind Franklin and Sunflower Seastars, I had a grand time chatting about how we both navigated our love for performing as science majors in college. Also, Lisa challenges me to name things that make my tummy hurt and how far my corpse would go in feeding natural predators. She's a blast. Kristen Schaal is a horse There's a Rosalind Franklin University in North Chicago! Here's Lisa on that BMW test track Thanks to Iron Galaxy for sponsoring and the Chicago Podcast Cooperative for their ongoing sponsorship coordination and support.

His Name is Grant, and he wants wants Everybody to grab a seat and take in some sweet musical vids (actually, No Scrubs allowed). From the time of daily Daly fixes to the gift that was YouTube, music videos have shaped how Grant consumes music, spends time with friends, gets ready in the morning, and views musical artists' artistic desires. We cover everything from angry white boy anthems from Limp Bizkit to the soft, sad jams of Grimes and TLC. I love the insight that on at least some level, a musical artist has to have signed on for THIS video to represent their song and that they only have your attention for three minutes (but if you're Bowie, you may take 10).  Thanks to Iron Galaxy for sponsoring and the Chicago Podcast Cooperative for support.

It's time for another installment of Talking Games Takes On Current Events In The Video Game Industry (TGTOCEITVG, duh)! This week, we cover the recently uncovered blacklisting of review site Kotaku by publisher Bethesda, which has caused a pretty big to-do on the old Internets lately. Here's some helpful background reading on the issue, courtesy of Forbes! Thanks to our sponsors for the episode, Iron Galaxy, and thanks to the Chicago Podcast Coop as always!

Liz is SO WISE and full of great advice and the desire to listen and bestow advice. She's also totally willing to admit that some of that desire comes from a place of voyeurism, which is part of why she loves devouring advice columns. We chat about the idea that all advice is autobiographical, most of it is timeless, and a vast majority of good advice points out things you already knew about the situation but were not willing to face on your own. Liz is also an expert on discerning punishments fitting of crimes, from Facebook faux pas to dog doo doo, and clears up a lot of advice requests by clarifying that one cannot teach an adult how to be considerate. Listen up, let things go, and ask Liz.

We came to the studio to talk about her love of pizza, but Blair Beeken likes to tell it like it is. She confessed she considered talking about being honest, so we changed gears. Whether it's friends, improv teammates, family, dentists, or people who need to be told what everyone is thinking about what they post on Facebook, she prefers honesty to sugar coating. And after this conversation, I'm thinking it really is the best policy. Even though it can lead to some anxiety, Blair feels (and I agree) that we could all be a bit more open with one another and ourselves. Self awareness talk at the end ties it all together. Plus, there is a little mini ep about pizza. Let's be honest, there will always be pizza. Google Form to submit an Ask Liz advice request for an upcoming recording.
