Episode 117: Spaceballs is a Good Movie

While Matt and Amber have played barely any games this week, and Ricardo has been too busy with wrestling events to play anything that isn’t on his phone or a clicker, Ethan makes up for it by playing several games and recording an interesting experience during the Battlefield 1 beta test! We have a few serious business news items to get through before we get to the absolute glory that is one of this week’s Trailer Trash trailers. We’ll let you guess which one it is.

Games we played:

Ethan: Rimworld, Batman Telltale, Battlefield 1 kinda, WWE 2k16

Ricardo: Street Fighter Puzzle Spirits, Adventure Capitalist

Matt: Nothing!

Amber: Not Much!

Episode 114: No Country for Old Men’s Sky

Leave a reply

Matt, Ethan, and Ricardo have all dug into their versions of No Man’s Sky! And… it’s just OK. Well I suppose it depends who you ask. We discuss at length the different ups and downs of such an anticipated title, but also get some time to get an update on Monster Hunter, and learn how to die horribly and repeatedly as a king in Reigns. Besides the No Man’s Sky news we hear a lot about Nintendo shutting things down, Overwatch pumping things up, and some drug infused indie releases coming soon in this week’s Trailer Trash!

Games we played:

Ethan: No Man’s Sky (PC), MHG

Ricardo: No Man’s Sky (PS4), Reigns

Matt: No Man’s Sky (PC)

The NEWS HOUR News Topics:

The No Man’s Sky Rise and Fall (and now somewhere in the middle depending on who you ask) Section:

Episode 103: My Girl, Keilbasa!

Leave a reply

Matt, Ethan and Ricardo are joined by Amber to discuss the some more games and a new beer! With everyone in the world from Tokyo to New York playing Overwatch we dip our toes into that, but don’t think we only focus on that mirage, as other games have taken up plenty of our game sessions like DOOM, Factorio, Stardew Valley, Star Fox Zero, Pocket Card Jockey and more! We’ve got more news than you can shake stick at, like Nintendo’s restaurant business and Apple’s anti-political messaging. That and some of the weirder trailers we’ve seen in a while…. #FE

Games we played:

Ethan: DOOM, Factorio, SFV

Ricardo: God of War III Remastered, Pocket Card Jockey

Matt: Star Fox Zero, The Banner Saga 2, OVERWATCH

Amber: Stardew Valley
