We don’t get to jump into Gears 5 year, and we talk about the woes leading up to that letdown. We do however have some love for the GamePassRoulette (that’s a hint by the way…) Cricket discussed Thomas Was Alone, Bear absolutely misrepresents Supermarket Shriek and we have a write in review from Charz for Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons.

Gamescom 2019 is officially over, and we talk through one of the only shows that we really care about… Inside Xbox happened, and we touch on some highlights. More Betrayal Legacy, the second round of Game Pass Roulette begins, and we lay out the plan for its future. We also briefly touch on some major changes coming to our Discord, and what fun that’ll be. “That was the stupidest thing we have ever done.” - Bear.

This week we deep dive into Hidden Traitor games, what they mean, what our favorite examples, and ones we would like to try. We also bring back up some old grieves and try to work through the wounds we thought were healed. Things go off the rails a bit when we can’t figure out who has wronged the other one the most. We miss Charzillion, as he wasn’t able to join in with us this week. He’s taking some much needed family time between trips out of town. “This was the can of worms that I accidentally wanted to not actually want to open, but I wanted it to open, because now it’s open, and then now I’m like regretting what I opened.” - Bear.

What would you do if you could freeze time with no consequences? You might regret asking that question but Bear, Charzillion, and GirlDadGamer all give their answers anyway.

In Episode 59 we talk about a couple of physical card games we have played recently, Charzillion talks about being addicted to Skyrim how to cheat and get goodies and money. We continue our Vodka discussion, and how to slow someone down by carefully choosing the drink you make for them. What are the different types of “Shooting Games” and how are they different from one another? Are there shooter games that are kid safe? Are puzzle games like Portal considered “shooters?” For the Discord members, we are also starting a Star Realms Bracket, details to come! Bear has a new article up, check it out here!

Welcome back to Offset Radio, today we have a special guest with us. Mellified briefly discusses his credentials for background leading into what I believe is a great conversation about the future of cloud based gaming. We’ll talk about how his time at Blizzard working on World of Warcraft helps him to see the possible missteps coming from some major players in the gaming market. We also discuss what the funnel looks like for casual gamers transitioning into hardcore gamers and how casual gamers could hurt cloud streaming more than they can help. Microsoft Xcloud, Xbox, Google Stadia, and others are all fair game as we take a deep dive look into our crystal ball.

The second show… for Charzillion… He might stick around, we like him. Get over it. Game Mods, why? What are you talking about? We discuss a couple of card games, and we talk about Wolfenstein, Nintendo and their trend-setty-ness? Is that a word? And when mods should or shouldn’t affect your ability to earn achievements in games. Thanks for joining us, your 5 star reviews in iTunes really help a lot, and don’t forget to check out the Discord Community! #WeAreTOC

Here in this episode we mention some of obvious fun and challenges we have had along the way and we stop and talk a little gaming too just to spice it up. Please enjoy your listen. the guys have missed you and look forward to the future in their new space. #WeAreTOC

It's like a dream come true. Each year, Phil and Co come out and give us a ton of gifts. It's like our birthday or something. Just like last year, we sat and watched the press conference from our studio and dreamed of being there in person. Listen in as we discuss and give a play by play of this year's Xbox E3.

The guys discuss their predictions and hopes and dreams about the coming Xbox E3 event on June 9th. please tune in next week LIVE during the event to enjoy the banter and lame commentary while we are all hopefully wowed. #philspencerisbae

This is a very special episode of Offset Radio, you’re listening to our double header spoiler cast of Far Cry 5, and Wolfenstein: The New Order. We are going to deep dive in and really chew on both titles a bit, so sit back and enjoy as Bear and Cricket go on a drug induced journey into Montanna and then jump on a U Boat to kill some Nazis. #playstation #xbox #discord #gaming #WeAreTOC Show Feedback: https://www.theoffsetcollective.com/radio-feedback/    Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoffsetcollective Discord: https://discord.me/the-offset-collective Twitter : https://twitter.com/offset_collect FB: https://www.facebook.com/theoffsetcollective   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_offset_collective/
