Episode 141: Breath of the Sueño

The Nintendo Switch is officially out and Matt, Ethan, and Ricardo are here to talk about midnight launches as well as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, 1-2-Switch, Snipperclips, and even several non-Switch games! Matt can’t stop talking about Zelda, Ethan kills a spider, and Ricardo lights himself on fire.

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)
