Welcome to Episode 381 of New Dad Gaming! The 2025 "No New Games" challenge is finally complete, and the floodgates are open. In this 2026 kickoff special, Trevor and Jeff break down the massive list of games they denied themselves last year and the upcoming titles they can't wait to pre-order. We discuss the shifting landscape of 2026, including the looming release of GTA 6, the slump in console sales, and why we are both pivoting toward handhelds like the PlayStation Portal and Steam Deck to fit gaming into dad life. We also do a live "Google Search" deep dive into the top PC games coming this year, debating everything from Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 to cozy farming sims like Fantasy Life. Plus, we discuss what a household looks like after a Roblox Ban and whether Fortnite or Star Wars Jedi will take its place. Topics Covered: The Floodgates Open: How it feels to finally be allowed to buy games again. Hardware Shift: Why we are ignoring the PS6 rumors to focus on Portable Gaming (Steam Deck & PS Portal). The 2026 Shopping List: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Death Stranding 2, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Backlog Catch-Up: Why Space Marine 2 is the first "old" game we are buying. Dad Life: Embracing "Mobile Gaming" (Red Dead on iPad) and why we are hoping for a Final Fantasy 7 Part 3demo. The Kids' Rotation: Life after banning Roblox and the move to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Het jaar is ten einde en dat kan maar één ding betekenen: het is GOTY tijd! En dit jaar maken we niet alleen onze lievelingsgames bekend, maar ook die van jullie met de bekendmaking van De Showies Awards 2025! De games waren in dit bijzondere jaar weer niet aan te slepen. De backlogs bezwijken, maar wij podcasten ook komend jaar moedig verder, en jullie zijn erbij. Liefs van je favoriete gameboys, en een zalig 2026
Benvinguts al "Generaci
In this final episode of 2025, Trevor and Jeff wrap up their year-long experiment: The "No New Games" Challenge. We break down whether we succeeded in clearing our backlogs or if we just stopped playing altogether. We also dive into the chaos of Christmas morning—from the quantity vs. quality gift debate to why one dad opted for a retro handheld emulator over a PS5. Plus, we discuss the "dark side" of kids' gaming in 2025, including why Robloxfinally got banned in the household, the surprising rise of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) among teenagers, and why Chess is making a comeback. Whether you are a dad trying to manage screen time or a gamer staring at an intimidating Steam backlog, this episode is for you. Topics Covered: The Christmas Haul: Why we bought retro handhelds and "dumb" smartwatches instead of current-gen consoles. The Cookie Experiment: Why kids prefer 10 small gifts over one expensive one (Funko Pops vs. PS5). Kids Gaming Trends: The rise of Fortnite, the fall of Roblox, and the wholesome return of D&D and Chess. The Challenge Results: How replaying Elden Ring, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and Hades 2 changed our gaming habits. Gaming Fatigue: Why having "no new games" was actually a relief for our anxiety.

V nejnovější epizodě OMG PODCASTu zavítáme do herního prostředí – konkrétně do marketingového oddělení českého studia Warhorse! Toto studio vydalo v únoru 2025 druhý díl hry Kingdom Come: Deliverance a s více než 4 miliony prodaných kusů jde o obrovský úspěch.S marketingovým ředitelem studia Warhorse, Jiřím Rýdlem, si popovídáme o tom, jak vypadá marketing v herním studiu nebo jak fungují partnerství se značkami.
Geoff Keighley by si cenu za organizování eventů za poslední udílení Game Awards asi neodnesl. Ceremoniál se nelíbil rekordnímu počtu diváků. Jak snášíme nedocenění našeho Kingdom Come Deliverance 2?
W tym tygodniu, tuż po gali The Game Awards, przygotowaliśmy odcinek zdominowany przez gorące dyskusje i jedną, wielką recenzję. Głównym daniem był Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. Mateusz Zdanowicz i Paweł Typiak szczegółowo omówili powrót Samus Aran. Z jednej strony zachwycaliśmy się oprawą graficzną (4K, 60 FPS!) i świetnym sterowaniem (szczególnie opcją celowania ruchowego), ale z drugiej – mocno skrytykowaliśmy archaiczny system zapisu, frustrujące checkpointy i bolesny backtracking, co ostudziło nasz entuzjazm i wpłynęło na końcową ocenę 7/10.Drugą połowę audycji poświęciliśmy The Game Awards. Nie gryźliśmy się w język, omawiając kontrowersje związane z Clair Obscure: Expedition 33, które zgarnęło statuetkę za najlepsze RPG, pokonując Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Dyskutowaliśmy o tym, czy gala to jeszcze święto graczy, czy już tylko słup ogłoszeniowy, oraz wyśmialiśmy rozczarowujące "One More Thing" w postaci Highguard.Ponadto, w luźnej, przedświątecznej atmosferze rozmawialiśmy o wymarzonych prezentach pod choinkę (kto marzy o steelbooku z Obcego?) oraz o wyższości Steam Decka nad nadchodzącym Switch 2 w kontekście taniego grania i baterii w samolocie. Ogłosiliśmy też start naszego własnego plebiscytu Gramy na Maxa Awards, w którym to Wy wybieracie zwycięzców.Czasówka[00:00:00] Wstęp i powitanie (Świąteczny nastrój, GnM Plus o Wiedźminach).[00:03:13] Ogłoszenie plebiscytu Gramy na Maxa Awards – głosowanie na Facebooku.[00:04:39] Dyskusja: Marzenia pod choinkę i dylematy sprzętowe (Steam Deck vs. Switch 2, bateria w samolocie).[00:21:40] Wstęp do recenzji Metroida – oczekiwania vs. rzeczywistość.[00:24:58] RECENZJA GŁÓWNA: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (Zachwyt grafiką, ale frustracja mechaniką – ocena 7/10).[00:46:51] DYSKUSJA: The Game Awards (Kontrowersje wokół Clair Obscure, reklamy, Highguard i upadek prestiżu gali).[01:05:49] Zakończenie i zapowiedź świątecznego odcinka.Włączcie się i spędźcie z nami kolejny wieczór w rytmie grania — tylko w Gramy na Maxa!

Welcome back to SuperHero Homies! In this episode, we launch the ULTIMATE Superhero Actor Tournament — a 16-actor bracket showdown to decide who is the greatest superhero actor of all time. From Hugh Jackman's Wolverine to Chris Evans' Captain America, Heath Ledger's Joker, Christopher Reeve's Superman, and more, we break down iconic performances, legendary moments, and why each actor deserves (or doesn't deserve) to advance. But first… we kick things off with a fun cold open, where we briefly discuss Wicked For Good (no spoilers), and then dive into three major video games: Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, and Expedition 33. We cover the pros, cons, gameplay, storytelling, and whether they live up to the hype. Then it's on to the main event:

Kirk has really been enjoying the medieval role-playing game Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, but Maddy and Jason both weren't playing, so he didn't have anyone to talk to about it. Hoever, some of his non-podcaster friends were playing the game, too. One thing led to another, and they wound up recording this special episode about it.ABOUT THE GUESTS:TOM BISSELL is an author and screenwriter.

As was originally reported, Xbox brought out a Partner Preview in November. It was chockful of everything strange like a co-op alien shop simulator or a thuggish rabbit beating up baddies to more traditional first person horror titles. The catch was that every game we saw throughout was a Play Anywhere title, a program that many of Xbox's players still yearn for the platform to leverage more. All in all, the Dukes enjoyed the show, especially given it dropped ahead of the biggest show of the year in the Game Awards where announcements are typically prioritized. Beyond that, we dive deep into the Valve rumor mill. Half Life 3 is everywhere! Is it finally happening and are the Dukes believers? We get into that plus updated thoughts on the Steam Machine now that we've had some time to digest the triple-whammy Valve hit us with last week.

Is Sony Ditching its PC Strategy For Valve's Steam Machine l The Game Awards GOTY Predictions Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PSTrophyroom Discord: https://discord.gg/wPNp3kC BSYK: https://tinyurl.com/3e24bn7y Store: https://tinyurl.com/ktbsdw3s This week on The Trophy Room: A PlayStation Podcast hosts Teegan, Kyle, and Joe talk about... This week delivers one of the biggest news drops of the year across PlayStation, Xbox, and the wider gaming industry. We break down PlayStation's massive Black Friday 2025 deals, including $100 off PS5 consoles (Standard, Digital, and Pro), major discounts on PSVR2, PlayStation Portal, DualSense controllers, Pulse headsets, and more. We also cover the huge PlayStation Plus sale, plus deep cuts on hundreds of digital PS5 and PS4 games—just in time for holiday shopping. But that's only the start. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is stumbling hard out of the gate. UK physical sales are down 61% compared to Black Ops 6, Steam concurrency is far below expectations, and Activision appears to be quietly hiding player-count data. We look at what's causing the drop—AI art controversy, campaign reception, franchise fatigue—and what it means for Call of Duty going forward. We also dive into the Game Awards 2025 nominations, where indies dominate the field. With Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Hades 2, and Hollow Knight: Silksong going head-to-head with Death Stranding 2, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, this year's GOTY race might be the most competitive ever.

It's full-on dad mode: both households hand out no-game punishments after kids try to sneak Roblox and skip chores, sparking a conversation about clear consequences, consistency, and what it means when your kids don't even argue the punishment - because they know the rules. On the gaming front, Steam drops a bomb with three new hardware announcements: A redesigned Steam Controller built from Steam Deck learnings The tiny Steam “Machine” console promising 4K living room gaming and killer value versus PS5/Switch The Steam Frame VR headset, aiming to shake up Meta's dominance and revive PC VR excitement Jeff breaks down why the new controller's trackpads are a quiet superpower for strategy and mouse-heavy games, how the Steam Machine could finally make PC libraries living-room friendly for dads, and whether the Steam Frame has enough going for it to tempt lapsed VR users. Plus: Jeff's patience on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 pays off in a big “all DLC included” edition, and the guys argue over which of these toys is actually for the kids… and which are clearly future dad presents. If you're a gaming father trying to balance kid punishments, chore charts, shrinking free time, and a dangerous interest in new hardware, this one's for you.
