Fanbases are great! Passionate, kind, lovely people showing their support and loyalty to the things they enjoy. However...a lot of the weird, toxic, strange, offputting, and detestable stuff tends to rise to the top. Today, we honor the latter. While also finally giving the official Super Drunkey Ball rules.

Roblox is overhauling its safety protocols with a massive launch of new features aimed at protecting its youngest players. Moving away from the honor system, the platform is deploying AI-powered facial scans and age estimation to verify user identity. These changes include disabling chat entirely for children under nine, while users aged nine to sixteen will be restricted to chatting only with verified peers or trusted friends. We explore these new technical standards, the enhanced parental tracking tools for monitoring screen time and friend lists, and why Roblox's Vice President of Safety Product Policy, Eliza Jacobs, hopes this "gold standard" approach will encourage other platforms to abandon simple text-based age checks.

Spyro A Realm Beyond didn't give us MUCH to go on...but it certainly gave us enough to think about to begin hoping for what it could be. From the new flight mechanics, the presentation, the potential minigames...we wanted to talk about what we do, and don't, want from the return of the classic Spyro formula.MORE PLACES TO FIND USCrubscribe ► https://bit.ly/CrubcastGet the show early and get exclusive content at our Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/crubOur Crubcasts are recorded LIVE at https://www.twitch.tv/crub_official every Tuesday at 7pm Eastern, with EXCLUSIVE Pre- and Post-ShowsJoin our Discord ► https://crub.org/joinBlueSky ► https://bsky.app/profile/crub.orgCome join our Steam group ► https://steamcommunity.com/groups/crubclubPodcasts are available on Apple, Google, Spotify, and other platforms are available at ► https://crub.orgSHOW NOTESWe kind of joke about Stewart Copeland "no efforting" the PS1 music, we're just lightheartedly calling back to this short interview from the time.

With 007 First Light releasing to rave reviews, and with us not having played it...we decided to weather the Summer Game Fest storm and do what we do best. Show up without an actual plan for an episode and wing it. However, we have a compelling case for why IO Interactive should ditch Amazon and instead make an Austin Powers game next. We also solve the decades-long question...what should Austin Powers 4 be about? We also finally discuss Grand Theft Auto 6 in this episode, so we are a topical gaming podcast finally.MORE PLACES TO FIND USCrubscribe ► https://bit.ly/CrubcastGet the show early and get exclusive content at our Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/crubOur Crubcasts are recorded LIVE at https://www.twitch.tv/crub_official every Tuesday at 7pm Eastern, with EXCLUSIVE Pre- and Post-ShowsJoin our Discord ► https://crub.org/joinBlueSky ► https://bsky.app/profile/crub.orgCome join our Steam group ► https://steamcommunity.com/groups/crubclubPodcasts are available on Apple, Google, Spotify, and other platforms are available at ► https://crub.orgTODAY'S CRUBCAST HOSTSCassandra: https://www.youtube.com/@ThatTravGuyChris: https://www.youtube.com/@MykonosFanNicco: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl56kbl3tb-KiGEHT7MUGUgMoriarty: https://www.youtube.com/@reallycoolCHAPTERS00:00 Yeah baby, yeah!

Xbox Showcase 2026: Somehow...Exclusives Returned... The Xbox Games Showcase 2026 brought a packed lineup of announcements, including the reveal of Persona 6, a new look at Fable, more details on Gears of War: E-Day, and the surprise return of Spyro. Microsoft also continued to showcase its evolving strategy of bringing more of its games beyond the Xbox ecosystem, while also announcing console exclusives... What does it mean to be an Xbox exclusive in 2026? As Xbox expands its reach across multiple platforms, fans and industry analysts remain divided. Some see the move as a smart business decision that puts games in front of more players and grows major franchises. Others argue that exclusives are a key part of a platform's identity and that moving away from them could weaken the value of owning an Xbox console. In this episode, we break down the biggest announcements from the showcase, discuss what stood out, what was missing, and examine the growing shift toward a multi-platform future. Are console exclusives becoming a thing of the past, or do they still play a critical role in the gaming industry? Tune in as we explore the announcements, the reactions, and the future of Xbox in a gaming landscape where the lines between platforms continue to blur. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

World Cup fever is officially hitting the United States, and Netflix is capitalizing on the soccer hype in a massive way. With EA Sports shifting away from the FIFA partnership, Netflix has stepped in to secure the official license for the Men's World Cup 2026. FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition arrives on June 11, introducing streamlined mobile controls that allow subscribers to pass, shoot, and manage matches across their favorite screens with zero microtransactions. We break down how the game will update daily based on real-life tournament outcomes, its longevity heading into the 2027 Women's World Cup, and what this means for the broader landscape of subscription gaming.

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
