CORE 527: Practical Eve
3w ago03:29:13Tap to summarizeWe have Jon Show mugs in the store! Because why not? Also, what about cloud gaming in all these discussions around hardware prices? Plus, Sony says goodbye to physical media, and at the same time closes a couple stores, and took a bunch of movies away from people. Not great. XBOX will likely follow suit. CyberPunk Edge Runners S2 gets a new trailer. The full roster for Fighting Souls is upon us! We played Stellar Blade, Moonlighter 2, Titanium Court, Sea of Stars, FF7 Remake, 33 Immortals, Supermarket Sim, The Adventures of Elliot, Meccha Chameleon, Astro Bot, EverQuest Legends, Nightreign, and Star Trek Infection VR.

CORE 526: The Gabe-Cube
4w ago03:10:11Tap to summarizeWelp, the Steam Machine is here, and it’s expensive as we figured it might be with the RAM wars and all. Let’s break it all down, and highly discourage Canadians from getting one. :) We also talk about the big games of July, Xbox increasing prices, GTA VI costing too much, Gamestop STOPPING something good, Capcom still trolling with the Engine name, Switch 2 getting pricier too, the Summer Sale on Steam, and all the games we played this week: Resident Evil 9, Thank You For Your Application, FF7 Remake, Pragmata, Meccha Chameleon, Stellar Blade, Astro Bot, Nightreign, Overwatch, Heroes of The Storm and more. Also, Jon shares the right order to play the resident evil franchise in.Uncut Video: https://youtube.com/live/y801OUrEsNk?feature=share This is a public episode.
