JoeColeslaw: Happy new year! Glad to be back! So question, - how competitive are you with leaderboards in games? How about gamerscore, trophies, and achievements? - Since you are answering questions all willy nilly... I had another question as far as the Lucas Film Games / Indiana Jones news... -Is it almost too late for Indiana Jones? For some reason, "from Russia with Love" comes to mind. I played it as a kid, but I don't know why... not like I had nostalgia for the film... but was a  fan of the 007 series. Maybe this would be along the lines of their previous game, 2003- Emperors Tomb, stand-alone. Or coinciding with a new, movie. Elfsawrath52: Where’s the best place to put a Buttloadda stickers?

It's been a week of ups and downs for Cyberpunk 2077. The good news? If you have a PC and a 3070 the game is great. The bad news? Pretty much everything else.

I started explaining GamePass to my Girlfriend and showing what I have downloaded already, she downplayed it, so I kept showing all of the games offered, and she stopped me on Hellblade. I was explaining how it took a deep dive into experiencing Psychosis, she was intrigued. I managed to get past the boss of illusion, and she is buckled in the backseat, ready for a Hell of a Ride! The last time this happened was with layers of fear, odd choice, I know... With that, I have a question! What games would you think would be just as fun watching, as playing? Something that's not too long, not too grindy, but an engaging experience. TheBigDog: Which game was a bigger Disaster. Cyberpunk or Anthem.  Princess_Megan: When you're stuck in a game, would you rather use an online walkthrough, or work on it until you figure it out yourself?

Hey, there is a new Xbox One coming out next month and Cliff has decided we should call it the Xbox One SADE, but pronounce SADE like the singer of Smooth Operator. Microsoft will be letting folks bundle Game Pass and Xbox Gold into a single package, which is a pretty good deal if you want to pay monthly. Sony announces a bunch of specs that might very well describe their next system, or maybe not! It's honestly anybody's guess at this point. Capcom is releasing a huge new arcade controller that also includes 16 games and you really need to see this monstrosity. The new trailer for the inelegantly titled Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order looks really good (and Cliff's brother is probably going to make us do an extra podcast talking about all the things we don't know about Star Wars). And finally, there is a good reason to buy Days Gone at GameStop. Sorta.We also talked about Twitch Sings, Forza Street and Assassin's Creed Unity (they are all free!), plus new games hitting Game Pass this month. Also, Sony is not-so-shockingly in Troll Corner again.Finally, we decided that we are going start putting the full text of all the questions into our show notes so that people can start searching on our website to see if a question has already been asked, so here is the first set! Vinny: So after my 14 hour stream this weekend, I'm curious on what your longest time has been playing games consecutively (excluding Extra Life)? And what games did you play during that time, who with, and what made it different than any other gaming experiences you've had?(We got our awesome co-worker and soon to be Twitch employee Suelin to answer this one. Follow her on Twitch!)JoeColeslaw: What is the true and proper protocol for spoilers? Surely, video games and movies / TV shows are a bit different? Examples? Sure! During last week's podcast, you KINDLY didn't want to spoil The Twist of BioShock...yet you brought up the Thanos snap in casual conversation. I don't think trailers should be spoiler territory because it's only three minutes, but then again, some people avoid them for going in blind...thoughts? Mansocks: What is your favorite flavor of Icee / Slurpee?Also Mansocks: What is your favorite ride/attraction at Disneyland?ShadoughX: Do you think AAA developers stay away from early access because of the expectations as a AAA developer or because of negative stigma tied to its meaning? The industry is shifting to releasing titles unfinished, but should they should release these games as early access when they are not finished to avoid poor Metacritic scores poor working conditions, backlash, etc. Should developers use early access to their advantage when developing games, specifically open world 60+ hour games?AngelGrl: What board game would you like to see turned into a video game? what type would it be (rpg, fighter,ect)? And what aspects of the game do you think would translate best and worst?EddieSpaghetti: Round Two of This or That!Baked Mac & Cheese vs OreosAdam vs KratosDylan vs BatmanCliff vs Soft Serve Ice Cream

The Master Chief Collection is coming to PC (and Steam!), the OG version of Diablo is back and up on GOG, the Dead Cells DLC is coming out way sooner than we thought, Bioware is patching bugs and players are pissed, Devil May Cry 5 has a scene that is only censored on the PS4 and a couple of new Octopath games are in the pipeline.Plus we answer a bunch of great questions (some that are about breakfast), talk cheap and free games, look at a new Small Bites and throw Spiro in Troll Corner.

It seems like it's been forever since the entire Byte Me Podcast team has all been in the same room together and so we let this one take as long as it needed to!We talked about the Pokemon Sword and Shield announcement, the new Detective Pikachu trailer, Dead Cells is getting free DLC this year, Kingdom Hearts is getting a board game, Anthem has a pretty solid 90 day plan, Reggie Fils-Aime is retiring (and being replaced by Bowser), Chex Quest HD has a new trailer, and Xbox games might be coming to both Windows 10 and the Switch!We answered some questions (and talked a lot about reviews), talked about a ton of cheap and free games, and even did a Small Bit and Troll Corner!

Dylan and Cliff did their first remote podcast, recorded from the comfort of their respective houses!This week, we talked about Apex Legends, the new game from Respawn Entertainment, the developers of Titanfall. The good news is it's apparently a very solid squad based battle royale game set in the Titanfall universe. The bad news is that nobody is working on Titanfall 3. We also talked about how Anthem won't have guilds at launch, how 10 million people watched an EDM concert in Fortnite and how the movie Groundhog Day is getting a VR based sequel 26 years later. We went over this month's Playstation Plus games, some free games from Twitch Prime, the February additions to Game Pass and the March entry for the Humble Bundle. You'll probably not be shocked to find out that Gamers are back in Troll Corner, this time for review bombing the Metro games. Maybe y'all actually don't like games?

Epic is launching a Steam competitor (and Steam is busy screwing up their own store), Nintendo isn't going to be yelling at streamers as often, there might be a new Far Cry game coming out, Fortnite is getting a creative mode and Bethesda just barely dodged Troll Corner.

We talked about our Extra Life weekend (a lot) then did a bunch of Blizzard news, including Ashe in Overwatch, the Warcraft 3 Remaster and Vanilla WoW. Of course, we managed to sneak in some Fortnite and Football too.We talked questions and free games and then threw uppercase G Gamers into Troll Corner again. Really dudes, you need to chill out.

Adam's back (again) and we're talking Disco Domination in Fortnite, Google imaginatively named Project Stream, Overwatch is getting its own Lego sets, Fortnite is getting Funko Pops, could the leaked Harry Potter game be real, Overwatch teases it's Halloween event and the Seattle PD lead the way in combating SWATing.Plus we answer questions crom Vinny, JoeColeslaw, IamEddie, Josh, Turndown4wut, Jjames and Mansocks, plus cheap & free games and Troll Corner!

Dylan might be on some exotic beach somewhere, but Adam and Cliff are hard at work in the podcast mines, digging out nuggets of podcast goodness. At least I think that's how it works?There are new JoyCons available from Hori that might make your life easier in some games, the PS4 and Switch sold a lot of units & the Xbox make a lot of money, Origin Access Premiere launched and it looks like a pretty good deal and the London Spitfire wins the first season of the Overwatch League.It was a bit of a slow news week but we had some awesome questions from Vinny, JoeColeslaw, Zack Paule, Colby and Mansocks, some cheap & free games and a little bit of Troll Corner.

Nintendo is talking about launching 20-30 Switch games a week, Blizzard raised a ton of money for charity, Fast Start lets you play your Game Pass games sooner, ever wonder what the top 10 games are on Steam, Nathan Drake is just super lucky and PUBG bans top streamer for cheating.Plus, questions from Vinny, Joe Coleslaw and TommyToInches, cheap and free games, plus Troll Corner!

First off, as we are posting this episode we hit 200,000 total downloads for the podcast. It's still amazing to us that we've hit that huge of a milestone and we owe it all to our amazing listeners! Thanks so much for coming back and listening every week.In news this week, Blizzard finally makes good on a promise from nine years ago, hardware hackers have made the first steps in cracking the switch, Xbox PUBG players get access to Miramar this week, Valve buys Firewatch devs Campo Santo, Discord users will soon be able to link their Xbox accounts and Call of Duty Black Ops 4 won't have a single player campaign.We also got our first negative review (that makes us a real podcast now!), we answer a fun quiz from Vinny and answer questions from Seth, Garrett, Joe Coleslaw and Mansocks! There are some great Xbox Games with Gold games coming out in May, plus a very special GTA 5 Troll Corner!

The folks at Rare dropped a TON of new information about Sea of Thieves and we talk about it all! Get the down low on how servers will be balanced, info about crew and ship size, character creation, ship customization, legendary mode, microtransactions and more!We also talked about the re-release of South Park: The Stick of Truth, Fortnight SMG changes and Rocket League IRL. We also had a ton of questions and talked about Disneyland just a little bit. Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition was featured in Small Bytes and Fortnite landed in Troll Corner!

Adam is back! Yay!We talk about how PUBG is making reporting cheaters easier and introducing some (potentially impossible to get) loot boxes that cost real money! HTC announces the Vive Pro, GeoForce Now Beta lands on PC, the Kinect is really dead this time, Battle Royale Trainer lets you practice your PUBG skills and pro Overwatch kicks off their first season!With Adam back, we answer a couple of questions we've been pushing back, plus a ton of other questions from some of our favorite folks! Plus a great deal on Civ 6 in this month's Humble Bundle Monthly and the Xbox Dashboard in Troll Corner.

We talk what we bought on Black Friday/Cyber Monday, the games nominated for the Video Game Awards, the weirdness with Destiny 2 leveling, Fornite is suing cheaters (including a 14-year-old) and soon you'll be able to get your chicken dinner to go (at least in China).We answer some great questions from Vinny, Annie and JoeColeslaw, talk cheap/free games and complain about toxic gamers in Troll Corner!

Lots of news and lots of questions this week!We start off with the sheer number of games being released between now and the end of the year and it's crazy! Also, Phil Spencer doesn't believe in paying for exclusive content but apparently does believe that they should completely redesign the Xbox Dashboard once every four months like they did with the Fall Update. IGN buys Humble Bundle and we are pretty sure that's a good thing but are being a bit cautious, Rocket League Halloween kicks off and finally someone accepts candy corn as a form of payment and then we dive deep into microtransactions. Are they gambling? Are they good? Listen and find out!Tons of great questions (many involving tacos), new cheap and free games and a bit of Troll Corner round out the episode!Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/Fujr3J8Join our Extra Life team: https://goo.gl/e7GLGHWant a t-shirt?

Epic giveth and Epic taketh away. Cross Play that is, which was live briefly over the weekend in Epic's game Fortnite. Apparently, it's easy enough to enable that they did it "on accident". Trust me, we talk about it. Angrily.We also dive into last week's Nintendo Direct, Sony's presentation at TGS and talk about Jump, which wants to become the Netflix of indie games. We also answer questions from Vinnie, Josh and Crawdad, talk about the latest Humble Bundle and talk about games journalism in Troll Corner!Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/Fujr3J8Join our Extra Life team: https://goo.gl/e7GLGHWant a t-shirt?

We hatch a plan for unlimited XP boost in Destiny 2 via cases of Pop Tarts, talk about killing folks deathmatch style in Overwatch, Adam's favorite Zelda-like is rumored to be getting a current gen release date, Adam and Cliff pretend they have the slightest idea what is going on in WWE 2K18 and Cliff tells you why you should buy Undertale for your Vita (or PS4).We also answer questions from Vinny, Kevin and Rich, talk cheap and free games (including a very rare Humble Bundle for consoles) and put Lucille Ball in Troll Corner (at least that's how I remember it.)Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/Fujr3J8Join our Extra Life team: https://goo.gl/e7GLGHWant a t-shirt?

There are only three months until Extra Life and we'd love it if you'd join our team! We chat about it on the podcast, but you can get more info here: https://goo.gl/e7GLGHWe also talk about how Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is dumb, decide whether or not we need the new Nintendo 2DS, talk about the DOTA Internationals and how they are making DOTA easier for new comers, when and if you are going to be able to actually pre-order a SNES Classic and the PS Plus price increase (if you live in Europe.)We also have questions from Vinny and Kevin, talk cheap and free games, plus put Gamestop in Troll Corner (again).

It was a bit of a slow news week, but we still found lots to talk about! Epic's game Fortnite is out and they are doing something different with pricing, essentially charging people to beta test a free to play game. We give out thoughts on that development and talk about crowdfunding in general. It probably should have gone in Troll Corner, but we went over Walmart's "accidental" SNES Classic presale (and subsequent cancellations). In another troll news, ThinkGeek is selling NES Classic bundles starting at $140 and going up to $220 and we don't like it. Finally, are you going to be able to preorder an Xbox One X soon? According to Phil Spenser yes. We also answer questions from Vinny and Kevin, go over this months Games with Gold and PlayStation Plus games and gush over this week's Humble Bundle!It's also possible that we talked about Destiny. Again.

Adam and Cliff both played What Remains of Edith Finch (and loved it!) Listen to our thoughts on the game. We also talked about Somerville, gave our first impressions of the Destiny 2 beta and decided that nobody wants the new Ataribox. The new Switch Online App is out, but you can't use it until July 21st, Titanfall 2 gets a new free co-op horde mode just prior to landing on EA Access and Kingdom Hearts 3 has a new trailer...and a release date!We also answer questions from Vinnie, Kevin and...Cliff? Plus cheap and free games, some great mobile Small Bites and a new Troll Corner!

Adam couldn't make it this week, but did add a bit of his own brand of flavor to our intro!Dylan and Cliff talked Doomfist's addition to Overwatch, PS4 games coming to PS Now, Halo 5's upcoming 4k update along with four older Halo games coming to BC, the new Hearthstone: Knights of the Frozen Throne update, WWE 2K18 getting a Switch release date, our thoughts on the Castlevania show on Netflix, Splatoon 2's public beta dates and what Cliff thought about Salt Lake Gaming Con!If that isn't enough, we also had some great listener questions, some great cheap and free games (and VR!) and a pretty good Troll Corner.

Hey Listeners! Welcome to the Culture of Clouds Podcast, Episode 17! In this week's show, Ruby shares some REALLY GROSS comments . . . and Grimm remembers what the internet was like before trolls. ;) Our main topic this week is all about TROLLS! We’ll be covering how trolls affect our social media, who they are, how we combat them, and we’ll top it all off with some serious “Troll Corner” action. Thanks for listening everyone! Ruby & Grimm
