Download Episode 1084 – We’ve got a long one here with news, a ton of reviews, and a visit from my old high school buddy Nathan Ide!The show kicks off with Bri Galgano, Jacob Garner, Aki, and Horror Acolyte on hand to welcome my good friend from my youth, and long time Security guy at Microsoft, Nathan Ide, to the show to hang out and chat about what he’s been up to since our days pumping gas in Nescopeck. We chat about his long career working with the security team at Microsoft, the projects at Microsoft and Xbox that he’s taken part in, how we absolutely ransacked that gas station of candy and snacks when we worked there, and tons more. Nathan is legitimately one of the best people on the planet to me and it meant a lot getting to catch up!After Nathan heads out, it’s time to tackle the news of the week including the latest additions and departures to the new, improved, and significantly more expensive Game Pass Ultimate, Xbox denying claims that they are exiting the console hardware business, Clair Obscur sales and updates, Nintendo Online SNES additions, Starbreeze layoffs, and tons more. It’s a massive batch of news and it all leads up to a massive pack of reviews as well including SOPA, a game about a stolen potato. My cat’s name is Potato. She’s the one on the YouTube image.

First visit was for Lumo 1 back on Episode 199. And we’re all still doing this. We chat about the game’s history, changes compared to the first title, discussions about sales between platforms, and those ducks. Hot damn do we talk about those friggin ducks… Jacob Garner shows up somewhere in there.After a while, we shift the talk to news of the week including the horrible news that EA sold out to Kooshner and The Saudis that was somehow eclipsed by Microsoft’s WORSE news of upping the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate by 50% from $19.99 to a whopping $29.99 a MONTH. We discuss the move, the “additions” to the tier including Fortnite crew junk none of us actually want, and our fears about Microsoft and the Xbox brand in general. Did we mention Gareth was a long time Xbox employee? He has opinions! Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs is getting delisted in November, Rock Band 4 is getting delisted like tomorrow, and four Puzzle Quest games are already delisted. But hey!

Nicky and Eric rip and tear their way back into Doom, this time playing the 2016 reboot of the series. Doom is a 2016 first-person shooter developed by id Software and published by Bethesda. The game is the first major installment in the Doom series since 2004's Doom 3 and is a reboot of the franchise. It was released for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One in May 2016. Players take the role of a space marine, known colloquially as the Doom Slayer, as he battles demonic forces within an energy-mining facility on Mars and in Hell. Press Any Button hosts Nicky (a new gamer) and Eric (a lifetime gamer) are a married couple who both love video games. For every video game they will discuss its past (history of the game, developers story, and fun facts), present (game play, game review and strategy), and future (will there be a sequel?? A movie?) BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE… Every game also comes with a challenge presented by the host that chose the game. If the challenge is not completed then whoever failed has to do a video game rap! So if you want to learn more about video games, hear some nerdy video game raps, or just have a good time this is the podcast for you. We try to cover all types of video games including: Retro and New video games Playstation, Nintendo, Xbox, Sega, and PC games Any and all genres including RPG, Simulation, Beat em up, platforming, mystery, first person shooter, sandbox, puzzle, action adventure, etc.Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pressanybutton_podcastCredits:Nicky SmithEric LuedtkeMusic by Mark Spurlock and Eric LuedtkeReferences:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom_(2016_video_game)https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/Doom_(2016)#Development_history
