Leave a reply

Amber joins Matt, Ethan, and Ricardo as the team catches up on some older games they’ve still yet to finish. Ricardo has been losing all his souls to a board game, Ethan brought breakfast, Amber is has been chasing the dragons, and Matt really wants everyone to know that Luigi dabs. Meanwhile, Valve springs a story leak, Blizzard doubles down on making their trailers longer and more like other films you’ve seen, and who the hell knows what KFC is doing.

Games we played:

Matt: Pyre, PUBG First Person

Ethan: Pyre, Horizon: Zero Dawn

Ricardo: Dark Souls: The Board Game, Pyre, Smite

Amber: Breath of the Wild

The NEWS HOUR News Topics:

Oh boy. Former writer at Valve basically spoils what Half-Life 2: Episode 3 would have been… if ya know… it was still being made.

Speaking of which, the Steam community is taking out Half-Life 3 frustrations on DOTA 2’s Steam review, now.

And speaking of DOTA 2, can you guess which game has overtaken it in concurrent users numbers?

Indie dev would rather you pirate the game (from their torrent) than go to a key reseller

Microsoft store officially no longer selling the original Xbox One design.

Episode 152: Destiny Dads

Leave a reply

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:
