Starfield officially launches on Wed, Sept. 6, although players with the Constellation edition or Premium edition upgrade can get access five days earlier. But even though it's not quite out yet, the headlines this week have been buzzing about Bethesda's newest RPG. So for our main topic, we're looking at a roundup of Starfield headlines, including the Starfield leaker who was arrested after allegedly stealing copies of the game, Todd Howard's claim that Starfield "doesn't really even get going until you finish the main quest," and how Starfield's player character was initially going to be voiced.We'll also be discussing Epic Games' new program that will offer devs a 100% revenue split for launching their game exclusively on the company's store, how Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka says pixel art won't be a viable style for Sonic in 10 to 20 years, and how the newly announced Qomp2 is Atari's thrilling continuation of the Pong saga.Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment.

Sonic Frontiers está dando o que falar e o seu diretor, Takashi Iizuka, só colocou mais lenha na fogueira. Em uma entrevista recente, ele declarou que o público simplesmente não entendeu o jogo e por isso não estão gostando dele, e que ele não será adiado. Confira tudo sobre o assunto na nossa Treta da Semana!

It's G1 season baby! Daniel and Bonesaw start their annual trek through the G1 Climax to bring you full, relentless coverage! Night 1 was capped off with a hard hitting war between Shingo Takagi and Tomohiro Ishii! Night 2 saw Kazuchika Okada and Hiroshi Tanahashi push that 30 minute time limit to its breaking point! Also, the return of Jushin Thunder Liger's Fashion Corner, and an offensive commercial about The Draft Podcast that was definitely NOT written by Daniel and Bonesaw!

Today's episode is sponsored by Joseph Bayer! Thank you so much for your incredibly generous support! We're back with episode 123 of Today's News Tonight, in which we're joined by Jae Lin, Hotline Director of the Games and Online Harassment Hotline, to chat about all the news and happenings in this morning's Pokémon Presents stream, the suspicious origins of Fortnite's new "Impostors" mode, some new comments made by Sonic Team's Takashi Iizuka's on the future of Classic Sonic, a serendipitous speed-running discovery in the original Metal Gear Solid, and more!

We back, baybay! Daniel and Bonesaw catch you up on the milestones of Summer Struggle leading up to Wrestle Grand Slam and then about Wrestle Grand Slam (duh), which featured a hell of a main event between last minute entrant Hiroshi Tanahashi and Shingo Takagi for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship!

Sorry about the wait, but Daniel was in the middle of moving Fabulous Studio B to its new permanent location! Nevertheless, Daniel and Bonesaw are back to dish about Dominion, which included a match for the vacant IWGP World Heavyweight Championship between Shingo Takagi and Kazuchika Okada! Daniel also apologizes for not delivering on the AEW coverage he promised on the last show!

We know you missed us, but were finally back with more New Jabroni Action (or, you know, the same usual bullshit)! Daniel and Bonesaw chat about Wrestling Dontaku, which featured a 6 star war between Shingo Takagi and Will Ospreay for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship! The boys then shoot off onto a tangent and talk about AEW Blood & Guts! Also, Daniel goes way off the rails about his opinions on pizza!

Welcome to the Squared Circle Podcast! I am your host Marie Shadows! On this episode, I discuss the history of Iron Fingers and why it's important in New Japan Pro Wrestling and why Taichi has it. I breakdown the wonderful ladder match that Tama and Tachi had. It's a beautiful ode to 33 years of violence ushered in by Takashi Iizuka and more! Tachi and Tama changed the ladder match perception. Thanks for listening! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/squaredcirclepodcast/message

Bonesaw calls forth an impromptu meeting to dish about AEW, and Daniel is along for the ride. Also, since we have you, a preview for Satsuma no Kuni AND Wrestling Dontaku

Sakura Genesis is here, and with it, the first title defense of the new IWGP World Heavyweight Championship by Kota Ibushi against challenger Will Ospreay. Also, the boys share their opinions about the new title belts for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship and the Strong Openweight Championship.

FOOLED YOU! Daniel and Bonesaw take a trip down memory lane on this super-sized, two-part episode of Why Did We Ever Meet?! It's Part B, and we're getting drunker! Daniel and Bonesaw talk about High School and College, and reminisce about going to shows, anime, and Adult Swim! And maybe Iron Chef! I can't remember if that was on Part A or Part B! At this point I've been drinking for four hours! Also, a New Japan edition of We Fucking?, and Daniel suggests doing a draft from said game of We Fucking?, but then both of them forget to do it because of alcohol! WWW.JABRONIU.COM

FOOLED YOU! Daniel and Bonesaw take a trip down memory lane on this super-sized, two-part episode of Why Did We Ever Meet?! In Part A, they talk about how they met in middle school, and how video games, The Simpsons, and Pro-Wrestling turned them into fast friends! Then, they do a classic NES version of Pass or Trash! WWW.JABRONIU.COM

FOOLED YOU! Wes and "Bonersaw" Cash Allen preview Sakura Genesis which will feature a main event match between The IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Kota Ibushi against challenger Will Ospreay! Also, the boys do bracketology for New Japan Cup USA! WWW.JABRONIU.COM

A supreme victor has been crowned in the 2021 New Japan Cup! Daniel and Bonesaw review Round 3, and the Quarter- and Semi-Finals before talking about the thrilling Final between Shingo Takagi and Will Ospreay! Also, a very brief and impromptu edition of... Taiji Ishimori's Fashion Corner!?

EDIT: Audio issue from previous version has been repaired and the episode is now presented in its entirety. Daniel and Bonesaw watch their brackets become even MORE wrong as they discuss Round 2 of the New Japan Cup! Daniel declares the match of the tournament is Will Ospreay v Zack Sabre Jr., and the boys get distracted talking about Attack on Titan.

No mistakes this time! Daniel's unbridled paranoia that he might screw up two shows in a row means an exciting (and COMPLETE) episode where he and Bonesaw give you the bracketology you so craved this week, AND how woefully wrong their brackets already are. Despite that, further predictions are cast based on first round winners that will also probably end up being wrong. THEN, as a bonus for screwing the pooch, they cover the events of AEW's Revolution, but unlike Revolution, they don't trip over the finish line.

Oh, what a wonderful show we HAD lined up for you. Daniel and Bonesaw were going to give you their bracket predictions for the New Japan Cup, but ol' Danny Fatfingers accidentally quit recording halfway through the conversation. So you get the events of the Anniversary show, but that's it. Hopefully, you'll be more satisfied with the new episode we're going to drop TOMORROW to make up for it. Sorry.

Look out, gang! It's a two-for-one special! On today's episode you get Castle Attack AND the conclusion of The New Beginning USA! Daniel and Bonesaw cover the events, which include Jon Moxley and Kenta battling for the IWGP United States Championship, and Tetsuya Naito challenges Kota Ibushi for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship! Will this two belts farce ever end? Listen and find out!

The New Beginning in Japan comes to a conclusion in two fabulous nights in Hiroshima! Daniel and Bonesaw discuss the nights' events, which included Hiromu Takahashi defending his IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship against Sho, and Kota Ibushi putting the IWGP Double Championship on the line against Sanada! Also, THE FORBIDDEN DOOR IS OPEN, BABY! The boys talk about the implications of New Japan opening its doors to do business with AEW and beyond! Talk about a new beginning!

STOP THE PRESSES! It turns out there's a match that wasn't in our initial list that was a disputed entry, with different issues of the Wrestling Observer offering differing ratings. In the end, Lorcan (@lorcanmullan) and Simon (@simoncross3) decided to go on the side of five stars, if only because it gives us one more chance to watch a match involving both Toshiaki Kawada and the one and only "Shithouse" Masanobu Fuchi, as they fly the withered flag for All Japan and step into enemy territory of New Japan to face up-and-coming star Yuji Nagata and perennial mid-carder Takashi Iizuka. lmtyspod@gmail.com

Ein harter März ist am Start! Host Chris geht mit seinen Kollegen Domi und Marius den New Japan Cup durch, es gibt ein kleines Tippspiel zwischen den drei Jungs. Außerdem gibt es einen Rückblick auf das Retirement von Takashi Iizuka, die Honor Rising Shows finden ebenfalls ihren Weg in die vierte Episode und zu guter letzt gibt es einen Mini Ausblick auf die Anniversary Show. Es geht heiß her, versprochen!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/shuyaku-der-puroresu-podcast/exclusive-content

This week on Wrestling Omakase it's a giant puro blowout! There were about a million pretty big shows that took place over the past week or so in Japan and we decided to just try and cover them all (or at least the major matches). Joining us to do it is first time guest and relatively new VOW contributor Thomas Fischbeck (@rasslinratings (https://twitter.com/rasslinratings) ), as Thomas like John is a crazy person who tries to watch virtually everything. They break down, in order: the entire Giant Baba Memorial Show from Sumo Hall including an awesome tag team main event, NJPW's three Korakuens featuring a one of a kind retirement for Takashi Iizuka and two Honor Rising shows that frankly weren't great, AJPW's Excite Series Yokohama show featuring an amazing Miyahara-Suwama main event, a great Tokyo Joshi Pro show from top to bottom with the RETURN OF SAKISAMA~! (and we cover all of this one but especially why she's so great), and finally the return of the anytime/anywhere contracts in DDT. Other topics include looking ahead briefly to the New Japan Cup, Champion Carnival & DDT in America, Roman's return on RAW and Kenny Omega's case of unfortunate timing, your questions and more. It's a fun and jam packed episode! Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Dave and Gable give a nice in depth review of the New Japan Road show with Takashi Iizuka's last match. Another great NJPW show, so lots to talk about. Some other random talk mixed in here as well. Just being entertaining as they always are. Warning...we are just fans. Mad respect for all wrestlers. Lots of swearing and bad content as usual. If you dont like it, then dont listen.

Welcome to Third Player Games Podcast! In this episode, we circle back to the struggle of Activision and Blizzard. How Microsoft ended with 7 acquisitions being game studios and how Soulja Boy shut down his rom game console that he was selling, because hey, no one wants to lose to Nintendo in a lawsuit. On a happier note, Josh and Amy are riding the PSVR train still, so much so they tried out a type of “riding” game, Rush Of Blood! They also tried Bound, Statik, and the RE7 Demo!   To really get things rolling the gang has another hilarious episode of Real Game, Fake Game, Jeffers can’t stop laughing apparently.In the rotating segment of the week, the podcast does Recommendation Corner.
