Hosts on Deck: Al and Nick Hey everyone! Today's episode touches on all the gaming news of the past couple weeks (we chat Summer Games Fest, XBox Showcase, and more!) We also go over Bethesda's newest Horse Armor DLC (i.e. the Tracker mod in the creator store!) NewsSummer Game Fest - bit of a snooze fest. Some interesting looking titles but nothing super big. Indie games making more of a mark. Most big games we knew about so just got more gameplay to entice Xbox ShowcaseDragon Age: Veilguard Gears of War prequel (E Day) New Fable game in 2025 Doom: The Dark Ages Indiana Jones Other ShowcasesEmpire of Ants - 3rd person/RTS sim ant - very cool looking unless you don’t like bugs Screenbound - clever 2d/3d game where you have a gameboy like device to play the 2d portion but your avatar moves about in a 3d world looking forward to clever puzzles Civ 7 - Enjoy the civ series but I have to ask: What is it bringing to the table? Unknown 9: Awakening cool looking action-adventure game Cleared Hot - Go back to the super nintendo days but updated graphics with this isometric helicopter game Path into the Abyss - Looks like STALKER but it’s set in Buenos Aires. Beacon of Neyda - side scroller strategy like the retro look. Generation Exile - city builder but instead of unlimited resources you are on a generation spaceship where you have to work with what you have Nintendo Direct is tomorrow 6/18 will it have some goodies this year? Watching/PlayingGames Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord Remake Diablo 4 The Bloodline Baldur’s Gate 3 (again) SMT V: Vengeance Skald: Against the Black Priory Shadows of Doubt Soul Mask - Released into EA on May 31. Survival game Conan like with tribes-people vs Thralls. Set against Aztec-like lore and mythos. You don a mask with powers which serves as how you level and your abilities. You can swap to a new mask you can put your mask on others of your tribe who might specialize in other skills. Very versatile. Drawback is a dedicated server is always going so your tribe can burn through your food supplies if you don’t check in on them :( Hoping there is a setting like in 7 days where we can pause it when no one is logged in.

It's currently Early Access but absolutely worth the price of admission. We talk about the many games that have released since Steam's summer Next Fest (hi Dome Keeper!), and Al talks more about what makes Temtem more addicting and fun than Pokemon has ever been for him. https://crema.gg/games/temtem/ More game chat within, plus fun life stories :p enjoy!

Far Cry 6, Hot Wheels Unleashed, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, Metroid Dread, Alan Wake Remastered ALL RELEASED SINCE OUR LAST EPISODE! GAH! In the news, we discuss more Tommy Tellerico and Intellivision hijinks, the massive leak of Twitch's source code...and probably the hardest news I've ever had to discuss on our cast: The BadFodderFigures Podcast have announced they are hanging up the mics on their weekly show. They started around the same time we did, and are a group of freaking all-stars from several other previous casts. I've shouted them out often on the show, and for good reason. They were definitely my favorite show in my podcast listening pile, and I really looked forward to the show each week. I also had the fun chance of being one of their regular voicemail callers! That's actually how I hooked up with the amazing regular caller Fred French, who calls into their (and our) show often. We not only carve out an appropriate chunk of the show to thank them (CapnMikeM, Glovebox, Hoody Ninja and DeviousMrMatt) for the years of friendship, technical help, shout outs, and really just being some of our favorite people on the internet. In our usual funny cuts in our show opener, I had to do my part to immortalize the "Stacking Paper" episode as I told the story (probably again) to Nick. Thanks fellas, will miss hearing your show, and look forward to anything y'all do next! Don't Forget! Nick and I will both be streaming for Extra Life Game Day this year!
