Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! We are down a Kodra this week but assembled a surprisingly long list of topics. First off Bel discusses the return of Commodore and the new product being released. Blaugust is coming up soon, and Bel is not running it this year. Tam shares the tribulations of trying to upgrade a PC right now, and the expense of hardware. Ash is finally back on the Final Fantasy XVI trai,n and it is really good.  Donkey Kong Bananza is pretty great…  but completely unintelligible. BPL or Badger Private League is a thing in Path of Exile and watching people participate is wild.  Guild Wars 2 announced the Visions of Eternity expansion and we talk a bit about the upcoming features.  Finally, Tam dives into a topic about how you get players to actually communicate with each other in games…  and we brainstorm ways to make those interactions happen.   Topics Discussed: Commodore is Back Blaugust is Coming Upgrading a PC Sucks Right Now Final Fantasy 16 Is Great Donkey Kong Bananza BPL in Path of Exile is Wild Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity Communicating With Other Players

Fallout 5 apparently has been fully greenlit, coming at the expense of the cancelled and unannounced MMO at Bethesda. Ghost of Yotei will have new modes inspired by Miike and Watanabe. Nintendo Switch game vouchers get cancelled, while staff are laid off at King following the Microsoft mass layoffs, only after training AI tools they helped build. Lastly, Dragon Quest 7 is rumored to be getting a remake in 2026. #fallout5 #ghostofyotei #switch #switch2 #donkeykong #king #dragonquest #allyoucangeek #podcast #aycg

It's that slow summer time for gaming news, and the bad news rings loud and clear. The Microsoft layoffs have rocked the industry, stopping some games while they were deep in production. The company claims everything in the 2025 Showcase is safe, but what about the games we didn't see? In good news, Stop Killing Games finds its footing after a rocky start. Plagued with misunderstood goals and dismissive assumptions, it seems the EU based initiative has finally taken off after finding its villain. FF14 pulled a weird thing in there cash shop. We spent the weekend playing MTG. All this and more. Supportourbromance.com or you'll be thinking about cheesecake.  

Hello Adventurers! Over these past couple of months, some of us have reignited with an old collectible card game flame (and some of us are brand new to it)! That flame of a card game is Magic: The Gathering, and we're playing it all thanks to it's latest expansion: Final Fantasy! All sixteen mainline games are represented, which includes the critically acclaimed MMORPG that this podcast is all about. So here is an episode all about it. We talk about what cards we like, what it was getting back into it, how well it works as a Final Fantasy thing that's also a Magic: the Gathering thing, and the perils of buying card games that are also collectible. Spoiler Levels: Food Token! 2 Colorless Mana, Tap, Sacrifice this artifact: You gain 3 life. Feel free to chow down on this episode that's full of Magic: The Gathering and Final Fantasy, but pretty light on spoilers. OSMnotesIf you are interested into looking more Magic: The Gathering x Final Fantasy yourself, here's a link to Magic's website for it.

Progetti cancellati, tagli a non finire e team chiusi: è il triste bilancio di una riorganizzazione della divisione Xbox, che è parte di una più grande strategia di riduzione dei costi da parte di Microsoft. Salutiamo quindi The Initiative, Perfect Dark, vari titoli non annunciati e un MMO di Zenimax, oltre a metà della forza lavoro di Turn10. Sintomo di una crisi profonda del settore, ma forse anche di qualcosa in più.Colpisce anche la decisione di Neil Druckmann di allontanarsi dalla produzione della serie HBO dedicata a The Last of Us.

Welkom bij een nieuwe editie van Gamekings Daily, de podcast over de ontwikkelingen binnen de wereld van videogames. In ongeveer 20 minuten tijd nemen we het laatste nieuws met je door, zodat je het allemaal makkelijk tot je kan nemen. Handig voor in de auto of de trein, tijdens of in de pauze van je werk of school of als je keihard aan sporten bent. JJ zit net als maandag met Jasper in de studio. De twee praten onder andere over het gerucht dat de nieuwe console van Xbox op dit moment al goed gekeurd is en in productie kan gaan. Xbox wil zo de PS6 een jaar voor zijn. Hoe geloofwaardig is dit verhaal? De twee heren bespreken het tijdens de GK Daily van dinsdag 24 juni 2025.'Xbox wil dat hun nieuwe console jaar voor PS6 winkel ligt'GK Daily is er maandag, dinsdag, woensdag en donderdag. Op de vrijdag hebben we EvdWL, onze uitgebreide podcast over al het nieuws. In GK Daily praten we je in 20 minuten bij over wat er zich allemaal afspeelt in de wereld van videogames. Dat doen we in de bekende Gamekings stijl. Alles wordt gelardeerd met een mening. In deze episode behandelen we vier onderwerpen. Twee grote onderwerpen en twee maal kort nieuws. Het tweede onderwerp draait om de illustere Duke Nukem die mogelijk terrugkeert. Waarom wordt JJ daar blij van? En waarom zitten er geen karakters uit andere Nintendo-franchises in Mario Kart Worlds? Plus Death Stranding 2 scoort hoge cijfers.Elder Scrolls Online is toegankelijker dan je denktDe komende weken gaan we een aantal toffe stukken content maken over de MMO van Bethesda: The Elder Scrolls Online. Anders dan wat veel mensen denken is deze MMO, die 25 miljoen spelers kent, prima doable voor gamers die nu pas willen instappen. ESO draait om de spel- ervaring die je opdoet, niet om wie het hoogste level heeft. Vanaf dag 1 kun je op avontuur.

When the drama is so juicy it summons a guest! Garrett and Kyle are back to run you through this weeks ongoing gaming happenings, but by the time they got to Final Fantasy 14, a frequent guest had appeared in the live chat. After dropping a few choice opinions, might as well have him on right? So Jesse Cox joins the show, to discuss the FF14 funding conversations going around and what World of Warcraft is bringing to the table. Check the livestream for bonus MTG cards talk.

But you shouldn't get any interruption in your MMO because we banked some episodes. https://linktr.ee/mikemikeandoscar

Kyle gives us a closer look at his time with Dune: Awakening - the impressive new survival MMO that released earlier this month - and the recently released RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army. We also review our thoughts on the Donkey Kong Bananza Direct and get hyped on what looks to be the next great platformer! Then we spend WAY too long talking about simulator games (sorry, not sorry) and a few hidden gems that release this week as well as all the games we've been playing (and revisiting).VIDEO Podcast: YouTube or SpotifyAUDIO Podcast: Apple or search for us wherever you like to listen!

Featuring: AmmosArt, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   The Nintendo Switch 2 has been out for long enough that folks have really gotten some time to play Mario Kart World, and we discuss some of its features.  We also talk a bit about the Donkey Kong Direct and the upcoming game releasing in July. It is the second week of Path of Exile 3.26, and Bel talks about his progress so far and some of the finer details of Mercenaries.  We talk briefly about the news that Marathon has been delayed to an indefinite date in the future, but that Sony is still talking about it like it is a thing.  Ash shares some thoughts about Siralim Ultimate and the upcoming 2.0 patch.  We then devolve into some nonsense about Dune Awakening as we discuss recent happenings on our private server.   Topics Discussed: Mario Kart World Donkey Kong Direct Path of Exile - Mercenaries of Trarthus Week Two Marathon Delayed Indefinitely Siralim Ultimate and 2.0 Patch Dune Awakening Nonsense

Deze talkshow wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door Bethesda. Alle meningen in deze video zijn onze eigen. Bethesda heeft inhoudelijk geen inspraak op de content en zien de video net als jullie hier voor het eerst op de site.Welkom bij Gamekings Daily, de dagelijkse podcast over de laatste ontwikkelingen binnen de videogames wereld. Elke doordeweeks dag zetten we een nieuwe aflevering voor je online. In 20 minuten bespreken twee hosts van Gamekings het laatste en meest relevante nieuws. Vandaag zit Koos bij JJ aan de witte desk. Met een reden. In de GK Daily van afgelopen woensdag spraken we namelijk over het gerucht dat Xbox toch nieuwe consoles wilde gaan maken en dat zou gaan doen in samenwerking met AMD. Omdat we deze editie, door omstandigheden, vooraf moesten opnemen, werden we ingehaald door het nieuws. Xbox en AMD gingen inderdaad samen met elkaar consoles in elkaar knutselen. Maar er waren nog een paar pikante uitspraken rond deze aankondiging. Dit en de interesse van Sony in Warner Bros. Games en het niet echt verrassende nieuws over het uitstel van Marathon zie en hoor je in de GK Daily van donderdag 19 juni 2025.Xbox geeft de console wars niet opGK Daily verschijnt op elke doordeweekse dag op je beeldscherm, op de vrijdag na. Dan presenteren we steevast vol trots EvdWL, onze uitgebreide vodcast over al het game gerelateerde nieuws van de week. In GK Daily praten we je in 20 minuten bij over wat er zich allemaal afspeelt in de wereld van videogames. Het hoofdonderwerp betreft dus de aankondiging van Xbox, bij monde van Sarah Bond, dat ze nog steeds consoles en mogelijk ook handhelds blijven maken. Hoe denken ze dat te gaan, als de meeste analisten zeggen dat ze beter uit de console bizz kunnen stappen? Het antwoord krijg je in deze video.Marathon vergt toch nog ietsje meer tijd om te vervolmakenNaast dit onderwerp, praten JJ en Koos ook over Marathon dat een uitstel voor onbepaalde tijd aan de fluoriserend groene broek kreeg en Roblox, dat op dinsdag een insane wereldrecord neerzette. Iets dat we bij Gamekings vaak over het hoofd zien.Probeer Elder Scrolls Online eens uitDe komende weken gaan we een aantal toffe stukken content maken over de MMO van Bethesda: The Elder Scrolls Online. In deze editie van GK Daily de aftrap. Met de uitleg wat we allemaal gaan doen rondom deze MMO die 25 miljoen spelers kent. En nee, je loopt niet achter of kun niet meer meekomen als je nu instapt.

Hey Folks! We have the full crew this week, and Kodra and Thalen have made their way into Dune Awakening, so we talk a bit more about that game. Bel asks what the dumbest thing we have done in a video game to make currency. Ash is back in Guild Wars 2 and attempting to catch up on the story. Kodra and Tam share their thoughts about the Microsoft PuzzleHunt event and contrast it with the MIT Mystery Hunt. Bel shares his early experiences with the Mercenaries of Trarthus as the Secrets of the Atlas expansion kicks off in Path of Exile. Grace talks a bit about Be My Horde as it lets you play a Necromancer, raising an army in a Vampire-Survivors-like game. Finally, we talk a bit about Deltarune actually getting a proper release and Toby Fox accepting money for the game.   Topics Discussed: Kodra and Thalen Join Dune Dumb Things for Money Guild Wars 2 Catch Up Microsoft PuzzleHunt Path of Exile: Secrets of the Atlas Fun With Mercenaries Be My Horde Deltarune Purchasable

LA is burning again, but this time it's due to ICE. We cover the "grassroots" movement and the upcoming No Kings protests scheduled for this weekend. Coincidentally, there is a counter protest at yeskings.org. A couple of updates on the situation in Ukraine with some insider drone knowledge. Greta found her floatilla stunt cut short by the IDF. Israel and Iran want to destroy one another, but not on the Orange man's watch. RFK is the new Dr. Mengele according to a Facebook Tier Boomer take. Mark Rutte thinks Russia could eliminate Europe in the next 5 years. Turns out giving your kids phones is bad for their brains, perhaps consider a table saw instead? IDK, it was a weird week, but none the less MMO drops another banger.   Art: Woof has done it again with his rendition of (Hel) LA Think you can do better?

Not-E3 has concluded. A mad dash through trailers. A dizzying assault of the senses. What stood out? What got lost? Well first, Garrett got a Switch, and we sat down and played a big chunk of Mario Kart World. Sony State of Play, Summer Game Fest and Xbox showcase all tackled in order. Our list might not match yours, but we all walked away with the same conclusions. That's a lot of games! 

Featuring: AmmosArt, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! We are down a Grace this week, but still end up filling up more than our normal slot full of nonsense.  There is a big sale going on right now for Guild Wars 2, and if you have ever thought about checking it out, now is the time. The Nintendo Switch 2 was released, and we are all pretty happy with it so far, and was at least a MASSIVE upgrade over the OG launch Switch. We talk a bit about the Summer Games Fest… which we only found out this week was not plural… thanks to LRR.  Tam and Bel have been playing the Dune headstart, and it is a wild gaming experience. Tam talks a short bit about TMNT Splintered Fate and Bel gives a heads up that Path of Exile 3.26 is coming next week.   Topics Discussed: Big Guild Wars 2 Sale Nintendo Switch 2 Summer Game(s) Fest Dune: Awakening Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate Path of Exile 3.26 Next Week

Good games are good. And we've played some GOOD games. We didn't know we needed to play Blue Prince but we love it, and must play more. Monster Train 2 is more of the same, which is a very good thing. Final Fantasy XIV unleashed is Field Operation patch and its a solid compliment to the game, though many say they aren't returning to play it. Elden Ring Nightreign approaches. And more!
