Podcasts about video game news

Send us Fan MailThis week on the NickMoses05 Gaming Podcast, we kick things off with Gaming Gone Wild, featuring 4 wild stories connected to gaming and crime, including a man secretly living under a family's home with TVs and gaming consoles, a PS5 repair dispute that turned into a theft charge, a disturbing cybercrime case involving illegal digital content, and a Houston social club raid where police seized more than $350,000 in cash.Then we get into one of the biggest gaming conversations of the week: Destiny 2 ending active live-service development. Bungie says the game will remain playable, but the move raises a much bigger question about digital ownership, live-service games, game preservation, and the growing Stop Killing Games movement.We also break down the reveal of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, including its controversial Korean Peninsula campaign setting, the removal of hipfire weapon bloom, the return of DMZ, next-gen-only release plans, and whether this could be a major comeback moment or another divisive Call of Duty release.After that, it is time for Dude, I Got the Munchies, with Kool-Aid Pineapples, Panda Express Cantonese BBQ Brisket, Chipotle crispy chicken, Popeyes biscuit mix, Taco Bell shredded beef items, and Nothing Bundt Cakes' summer lineup.Finally, we talk about Illinois Game Con 2026, where NickMoses05 will be next week in Bloomington, Illinois, looking for gamers, interviews, trivia moments, Choose Your Fate reactions, and viral content.Tap in for gaming news, wild stories, food talk, convention prep, and the usual NickMoses05 energy.Support the show

Rockstar Games confirms a third-party data breach. Bryan Hultgren reports on the "ShinyHunters" attack and the status of "Grand Theft Auto VI." ​The most anticipated game of 2026 is back in the headlines for the wrong reasons.
