Episode 152: Destiny Dads

With Ricardo mysteriously absent Matt and Ethan recruit Parker to help us parse through all the new Destiny news that just launched! Matt gets emotional during a credits sequence, Parker is looking at his dog in whole new ways (not in a gross way, you sicko), and Ethan—and this is not a joke—takes off his pants. That plus plenty of Destiny news, The Witcher on Netflix, weird Squirtles, and possibly the worst Larry the Cable guy impression you’ve heard.

Games we played:

Matt: Nier Automata is DONE, Dead Cells

Ethan: Injustice 2

Parker: The Last Guardian, Breath of the Wild

The NEWS HOUR News Topics:

Destiny 2 on PC! On…Blizzard client?

The Witcher is coming to Netflix near you. I can’t watch any other TV until I finish watching this

Red Dead Redemption is delayed!

Matt, Ethan and Ricardo get together to drink some too-strong beers, some crazy Japanese apps with some really catchy music, some games you can’t buy anymore even if you want to, and Batman! Plus Ethan tries to hide the biggest news of the week, and none of the trailers this week are good, except for one! And it’s not the one about shoes.

Games we played:

Ethan: Rimworld, Castle of Illusion, Hidden my Game by Mom

Ricardo: Batman: The Telltale Series Episode 1

Matt: Sid Meier’s Sim Golf OR How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the ROM, Rimworld, Hap Games (HMGBM)

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)
