Lit Gaming Arena

Not a ton of video game talk this week thanks to the upcoming holiday at the time of recording, but some amazing and hilarious discussion does happen! Marcus spends some time hating on Paper Mario Sticker Star and a little bit about Chibi Robo Ziplash being the worst game ever. He also talks about a cool new anime by Studio Trigger called BNA that everyone should check out. And for all you True Crime junkies out there, he talks about watching Unsolved Mysteries! Jusin doesn't have much more about Elite Dangerous to bring in, but he was recommended a new game called Shapez.io that just released on steam. Imagine if Satisfactory was 2d, and about shapes, and there you have it! He has also entered phase two of watching Colony, knowing he will regret continuing the series not knowing whether it has a solid conclusion or not, which then leads to talking about finishing Symbiotic Titan which was an amazing show with an amazingly underwhelming "ending." This also ended up leading into a deep dive into voice actor David Posehn's long career as a background character for some reason. This week our famous Community Engagement segment also returns with the question, "What is our favorite summer video gaming memory?" Listen in to hear all the great answers!

Ever want to know the definitive definition of MOBA, and which games are and aren't considered MOBAs? Well we discuss just that on this episode, and as it turns out, it's a lot more broad than you'd think! And with the next generation drawing ever closer, we have some more rumors to discuss on the Playstaiton 5 and Xbox Series X pricing. What do YOU think they will cost? Along with console pricing, we have some details on a next gen game that will reportedly cost $70. Is this a mreited price increase that is reasonable? Or is it too much? Will everyone else follow the model? So much more is also discussed on this episode of Terminal News, don't miss out on the following: The game industry reeling from the accounts of sexual harassment and assault, Twitch cracking down on streamers, banning Dr Disrespect and Donald Trump, Possible details or Brime, a new video game streaming service, Games being delayed like Tales of Arise, JK Rowling, Bethesda getting a Fallout TV show, and much more!

Tonight Justin got hungry and spent the first half of the podcast eating, which means we got the hot dog minute on what's good and bad in the hot dog world. Guy Fieri would be proud. As far as real topics go, Marcus talked about his housekeeping, finishing up games so he can make room on his PS4, like the Spyro Collection. He also talked a bit about Avatar The Last Airbender, and a little more on Mario RPG. And finally we get to the topic everyone wants to hear, The Last of Us 2, except wait, neither of us are playing it! As it turns out, it's not really our cup of tea and we explain why. Justin talks about watching Colony, a show that has been on Netflix for a while and goes on a tirade about science fiction shows that end without proper conclusions and worries about Colony. He also has a theory about Carl Weathers entrance in any show he is in. As far as video games he goes more in depth from his time in Elite Dangerous and discusses the mixed reviews on Minecraft Dungeons with Marcus which then leads into kids content on youtube and the weird stuff his son keeps randomly finding.

As with every week, there's a lot going on in the gaming industry. Once again we address the ongoing problems with inequality and sexual harassment/rape and provide our firm stance in the matter, which brings us Marcus's brand new catch-phrase, which I can't put here or else the episode may get removed from Apple!  And if that news wasn't bad enough, we found out that the streaming platform we had a lot of hope in, Mixer, is shutting down and is diverting to Facebook Gaming. Can't say we're happy about any of the fallout of this. There are displaced streamers, and employees, all while the top guys either got a healthy payout from Mixer, or were offered a nice fat contract from Zuckerberg. Not to mention this isn't a good look for Microsoft on the same year they're trying to release a new flagship gaming console, the Xbox Series X. Oh and a lot of other stuff happened too, like the announcement of Skate 4, Cyberpunk 2077 Edgerunners anime, Pokemon Unite (Pokedota/Pokemoba), a new Animal Crossing Update, and a whole lot more. You even get to learn about a certain pizza restaurant filing for bankruptcy and Marcus's Disney contraband!

Sorry for the unexpected hiatus everyone! We are back in full force today with new and relevant topics. The backlog episodes will be put out in due time for your listening pleasure, but we didn't want to delay what we're going to talk about for potentially weeks, especially with the state of the world right now. We have very important things to discuss this episode, starting off with the Black Lives Matter movement and protests happening around the world right now. It goes without saying that we here fully support equality. The first segment of the episode is fully dedicated to discussing our thoughts and pointing you into the direction of some resources as we are in no way experts. In the next part of the show, Sony has finally revealed the Playstation 5, and boy is there a lot to cover, we attempt to get through all of it, let us know if we missed anything!

Welcome to episode 58! In this installment, Justin goes over the beginnings of his Crossout addiction and how much he's been playing. In fact, you might say it caused him to neglect editing and that's why all of our episodes have come out late the last month! That lazy piece of crap should get his act together, right? Marcus, in typical fashion, is the star of the show, having played some more games! This week we go a little more in depth with Animal Crossing New Horizons. We round out the video games with a little Nioh 2, and then hit up the Anime Corner where Marcus has been watching HunterXHunter, and compares it a little with Yu Yu Hakusho (same creator!) Community engagement this week was all about what everyone's hardest final bosses were and turned into the biggest part of the episode! We have answers from Twitter, Instagram, and the Hard Drive Hangout group on Facebook! (The official group of the Hard Drive, of The Hard Times).
