The XboxCast

What's in store for us this year as we enter Season 7? You'll just have to listen to find out. In true XboxCast form, this was only ever supposed to live on YouTube. But our adoring fans (read: us) wanted it out in the wild for your listening ears and to help keep us accountable. Now we have to live with every claim we've made as we look ahead to 2023 and what it holds for us. From what games we're looking forward to, to our yearly events - we hope to keep the surprises coming. If you've been sitting on the sidelines, this is the year where we encourage you - join our events, join the Discord, and lets make this year a great one for gaming! -- For everything about the podcast, check out our official website!

It's time to play the music It's time to light the lights It's time to reveal our game awards tonight It's time to put on makeup It's time to dress up right It's time to raise the curtain On the most sensational, inspirational, celebrational, XboxCastational Game Awards tonight 2022 was a massive year for us. Lockdowns ended, we met some of you, some of you met us, we recorded the most episodes ever in a year, and most importantly all of our stats went up. That’s what really matters here. So we're going to end off the year with us celebrating the best and worst games we played. And we even have some help from the listeners again! From our lovely Patrons, to our Listener Choice Awards - you know what's coming. But we even have even more podcast stats for you. Where are you listening from? What are you using to listen to us? We do a deep dive into these types of very exciting stats. And introducing our personal stats! Games played, achievements won, and games finished. But of course the main event of the show - #TheGameAwards for 2022! And with our typical XboxCast twist. If you missed what categories we covered, then you're in luck - we have them in our Discord. Remember - these awards are games we played in 2022 and not necessarily games that came out in 2022. Because why limit ourselves? And we're also casual gamers. So...

Let's get technical. And spend some time discussing our audio setup. Starfield is being compared to No Man's Sky. Again. Because clearly the gaming media have a bug bear about this. Lee is dubious about Starfield. Kyle is optimistic. Lee is going to dad-build it. Kyle is looking at what clothes will be available. At least it will make for entertaining #GameFace! episodes... We hope. The Activision Blizzard deal is still making headlines, with more waves being made by the FTC now. But with all the complaining from the competition, has team blue managed to sour their relationship with the COD maker? It certainly seems that way. And Xbox offering a ten year deal to Sony certainly has a lot of regulators leaning towards approval. Is your controller getting cold? Does your drink need some Xbox swag? Lucky for you, theres the Xbox Puffin Drinkwear 'The Hoodie' to keep your drink cool while looking cool. Who doesn't want one! Thats Christmas sorted. We'll be joing our friends at Hall of Gamers to help out with their Game Awards show! Join us as we try to derail their podcast. Keep an eye on our Twitter for where and when this will be!

Are you ready for the last #GameFace! episode of the year? Don't be sad. Instead join us for our Game Awards show! Kyle and Simone got their Halo Achievement! And all it took was Lee to sit in party chat and 'encourage' us! Look at what we can do when we work together. The power of friendship prevails. Simone gives us an update on Pentiment, some controversial takes and all. She has made a friend. Some one with rickety fingers. But then he died. Oh dear... Lee has completed Geometric Sniper, and is saying its his Game of the Year. High praise from someone who played 60-something games this year! And then jumps into Gungrave G.O.R.E. A game about shooting. You shoot things and get points and get to shoot more. How crazy is this game? Probably crazier than you think. We're getting ready for our annual Game of The Year Awards show!

What games have we been playing? Lucky for you, we have a podcast for that! Kyle's been playing Persona 5 and tries to explain the story, the systems and the fact that the tutorial gives up around the 8-hour mark. Like a typical JRPG, the game fills up a lot of time with background tasks... Going to school, learning about things, hanging out with friends... It's quite a long process. Kyle and Simone are trying to get a hard achievement in Halo CE. Lee does not understand what the issue is. So Lee decides to put his mouth where him money is, and offer to carry the two to the achievement completetion. Can they do it? Does Lee even have this achievement? Lee's been playing Goat Simulator 3! And he was running around as a rhino with welly boots on. Now he's going around licking everyone to find out more about them. Not very hygenic, we must say. But the best thign about this game is that it "pays homage" to all the other games. Thats a polite way of saying rips off and makes fun of other games! And if you ever wondered about the background of Pentiment, well does Simone have you covered! From the setting to the history to everything around the game you could ever want. Does it make you want to play? Yes. Yes, it does. We're getting ready for our annual Game of The Year Awards show! And you're invited to contribute. How you ask?

All the Xbox News this week. And it's all sales! It's almost like it's Black Friday... Phil "Awesome" Spencer has now reiterated for the 1,000th time that Call of Duty will remain on PlayStation. There's not tricks here. CoD will stay multiplat if the Activision Blizzard deal goes through. And Xbox even went so far as to offer a 10-year deal with Sony. But Sony being Sony have said this is not good enough. Discord voice chat is now on Xbox! And it just works! Colour us super surprised. How did they get it to work so seamlessly? And why does it work so well? We are so confused that a new feature like this is not getting the attention it deserves. Did we mention that there are sales? We'll there are still sales. And you can save a lot of money at this time of year. Did you pick anything up during the sale? We're getting ready for our annual Game of The Year Awards show! And you're invited to contribute.

We're world famous in New Zealand. Kinda. Welcome to the 'nice' episode of 2022. We have the Xbox Game Play Charts! How exciting! Who's on top, who dropped off, and where is Skyrim or GTA V? You'll never know unless you listen. Battlefield 2042 is coming to Game Pass with Season 3! Will that be enough to pull you away from COD? Or are you stuck Warfaring it up? Gungrave Gore is coming to Game Pass too! So many games coming to Game Pass. Our backlog is growing by the day. And we couldn't be happier. We're egar for more Japanese games to come to Xbox, and even eagerer for them on Game Pass. The Witcher 3 is finally getting the fabled Xbox Series Update. December 13th is the date, but don't hold your breath. It may come, it may not. Either way, a much prettier Geralt is coming your way. And looking more and more like Henry Cavill by the day. We cannot wait to see HD Man Buns! Remedy is making Control 2. But whats even more exciting is Max Payne and Max Payne 2 are getting remakes! Oh. My. Word! This is going to be amazing and we're only slightly excited. But we have Alan Wake 2 to get through before any of this comes to fruition. Have you sat down to rank the Halo games? Nows' your chance. Because we do it. Did we do a good job? We're looking for exciting people to help out with the intro. Do you have a voice? Can you say "Welcome to The XboxCast"? Then we may have a job for you! Lee has all the details so make sure you are either on our Discord or tweet at Lee.

Lee is going to shot some things in the face. And then go play some games. We have a product review for you! Did not expect that, did you? Lee has bought a Razer Kashi, and he's super excited to share his opinions of the device. It turns your phone (Android or iPhone) into an Xbox Switch. Perfect for XCloud! So, what are the pros and cons of having a portable Xbox in your pocket? Lee breaks it down for us. Kyle has finally jumped into The Ascent. Lee is busy dragging him through and he has thoughts! From how good the music is, to how bad he is at twin stick shooters. We all jumped into Battlefront 2! The whole XboxCast playing games together? Who would have thought! Just a pity there is no one else playing. It makes jumping into a game rather difficult. And here we though bot backfill would save us. Alas... Lee and Chillidawgs are in a competition to complete Grid Legends. Will they make it? Is Lee to far ahead in achievements? Or will podcasting take Lee out of the game long enough for Chillidawgs to catch up? All this, and more!

All the news is gone. We used it all up last week. We're sorry. It's a strange news week - there's not a lot going on. Is it because of the (unofficial) Game Awards? See, that's a call back to a joke we made on the last #GameFace! If you missed it, you'll just have to go back and listen to it. Atomic Heart is coming out and it looks awesome. Almost like a Bioshock spiritual successor. If you've not seen the trailer, do yourself a favour and watch it. Death Robots hanging around a whimsical Chernobl is all we ever wanted. Diablo IV is rumored to arrive in April 2023. And we are beyond excited. It looks like the Diablo we've always wanted. And we couldn't be happier! The EU Commission has gotten some money from Sony and that means they are now holding up the Activision Blizzard Microsoft deal. Giving themselves 90 days, they put out a statement that it just word salad, claiming that Microsoft is using Game Pass Cloud Streaming to push Windows. Because for some reason, Windows having an upper hand in somethings is a terrible idea.

Kyle is having an aneurism. Maybe he should have sat this one out? It's getting to that part of the year where we're thinking about our Game Awards show. It's different because of course it is. I mean, have you heard this podcast? Are you ready to have your votes counted? Because we're going to create a form for you to fill in with your answers! Simone has finished up A Plauge Tale: Innocence and loves everything about this game! Apart from the rat noises. Those are creepy. We don't like them. And they even continue when in photo mode. There's just no escaping from the squeak. Lee has a review for us! He's ben playing The Chant, and there's plants with faces! And he even has a duck thing. What is this duck thing? We're not so sure ourselves... So there's a cult and then you go into a cave to rescue a boy. Any more and we'll be giving away the story. You'll just have to play it. Kyle and Simone are finally getting around to Halo 3 ODST and have thoughts. Is this really a Halo game, or is this something else? We can't decide. But the music is great and the main character is very sad. You never see his face, but his helmet does look quite sad. Trust us on this. Want to hear more about Persona 5 Royal? Kyle is 5 hours in and its crazy as. The cat summons Zoro. Thats not a typo. It really happens. How long will he stick with this JRPG, since its about 130 hours long...

More news words means we're better right? We're feeling very newsy this week. Which is strange because we don't have much news. Kyle has gotten really excited about Anno 1800 coming to consoles. So excited in fact, we're recovering this news from last week! The Witcher is getting a remake. In Unreal Engine 5. Why? We offer some ideas about it. But still. Why? There are better games to remaster or remake. We're so confused. But that's pretty normal anyways. And could Halo move to UE5 too? There's been some rumors.... Xbox is having a sale! Get some games! Frostpunk is down to $20 AUD for the collectors edition. Bulder's Gate Enhanced Edition is $15. You have no excuse to add to your backlog now. We go over an Xbox dashboard concept, since Xbox seems hellbent on turning it into a giant GamePass advert. How disappointing... Make sure to check out this concept on YouTube! We love what is being done here. It's full of just the right info. What do you think a good Xbox dash looks like?

The semi-successful #TerrorGameToberFace is wrapping up. Now, we'll wait for next year's scary games. Lee is playing The Ascent with Cam and Keo, and in true achievement hunter fashion, they aren't caring about the story. Kyle's skin crawls at that way of life. Cut scenes are life. Simone played Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens and managed to finish the story! Good job! And there's a bunch of cut scenes at the end with easter eggs - in true Lego fashion. Some are really funny. Too bad the rest of the game has been a slog. All while Kyle is absorbed into the Dyson Sphere Program and is still urging everyone to play it. It's on PC Game Pass after all! Just do it. Play it. Build a factory! Become awesome! If you joined us for #terrorTober, then tell us! You can join our Discord, or tweet at us. We're eager to hear what you've been playing. And how you found it. And if you'd recommend it. Can you tell we're eager to hear from you? If you'd like to support the podcast, but don't know how, then just leave a review on your podcast platform of choice.

Lee's goblin up the news! And it made him tired in the face. Halo is coming out with an update. The Winter Update. But it'll be November for us southerners... So not really winter? Fallout 4 is getting an Xbox Series X update! Bug fixes, 4K60, creation club content... Oh my! And now Discord is getting even more integrated into Xbox. You can now join Discord channels from Xbox party chat. All we need is now streaming to Discord and things will be complete. Handhelds are taking over the market and are perfect for XCloud! Razer throws its hat into the ring and shows us their take on how a handheld should work. Logitech have a different idea for their handheld. And this is going to be a growing market as more and more of these get 5G. We went to #PAXAUS! And we were all together. In the same room! So we did what we did best, and recorded a podcast.

#TerrorGameToberFace is still upon us. And The Blair Witch even allowed Lee and Simone to come out and play. Lee is firmly entrenched in Gotham Knights. To the point that we have almost his entire play through on our YouTube channel. Make sure to check it out if you're wanting to see what all the fuss is about. Kyle has some handy tips for all you Scorn players. And is making sure to not get too grossed out by adding some Overwatch 2 to the mix. Just for funsies, he started a new game. A PC game! Queue the shock and horror. But don't jump to conclusions just yet - this one is on GamePass for PC and is a factory building game. Are you ready for you next obsession? Simone is still playing A Plauge Tale, and has some quick facts for us! Who says we don't tech you anything? Because then they'll be lying. We went to #PAXAUS! And we were all together.

Is the Xbox Series S a potato? Are you a potato? Or are we all potatoes? News happens, and we're here to cover it. We have many top tips of the week, but the one that will help you the most is that cows do not, in fact, have hands. We debunk this myth through our amazing detective skills. You can thank us later. Gotham Knights is blaming the Xbox Series S for the 30 FPS cap, but in all testing, it shows that the little beast is outperforming the PS5. Smells like an excuse to us. So we eagerly await the backpedal when they release the 'optimisation' patch. How will they spin that? There's rumours about devs getting the mid-gen refresh consoles soon, and this gets us all excited. What could an Xbox Series X 'S' version look like? What will the performance be? Kyle has some ideas that he's really passionate about, but don't quote him on that. What would you like to see in the mid-gen refresh? More powa? Slimmer design? Maybe something else... Like VR support? Microsoft is battling the CDM in the UK for the right to buy Activision Blizzard. By now everyone would have heard about it. That doesn't stop us from diving into the leaked, or newly made public, info thats come out. Including Xbox install base, Game Pass revenue, and Sony's blocking rights. We go over all the info, take apart what it all means, and just get a heartly laugh at the corner Sony has painted itself into. Are you looking to get into streaming but don't know where to start? Lucky for you, we have a run down of the top 7 capture cards and what that means. But don't get lost. Join our friendly #Discord server where you'll find everyone eager to help you get started on your streaming journey today. We went to #PAXAUS! And we were all together. In the same room!

Welcome to #TerrorGameToberFace! October is halfway done, or practically over, depending on how you look at it. But that doesn't stop us from remembering #terrorTober is a thing. A thing we do every year. A thing we're doing this year! And we've been playing some creepy, scary, thrilling games to keep you entertained. Lee has played through Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, and lucky for us, streamed the whole thing! It was on our Twitch channel, now it's on our YouTube channel. Want to play without wanting to play? We have you covered. Watch it now and give lee the creepy fuzzies. Simone is fending off rats in A Plague Tale: Innocence and gracing us with some amazing screenshots for Screenshot of the Week. How many rats are too many? And how does the game hold up after the Series X patch? Either way, you'll be scurrying back for more! While Scorn has Kyle in its very organic grip. Bones and flesh and lots of squelch. And a creature that is fused to a chair... If you're a fan of Alien, Prometheus or H.R. Giger, then Scorn is right up your alley. But we didn't only play scary games. Oh no. We've been adventurous (naughty), and played other games too. What games exactly? Well, you'll just have to find out... Manical laugh! We went to #PAXAUS!

While we've been at PAX, news has been happening around us. So, let's do it all! All the news, all at once. Two hours full of all the news you expect, and some you don't. The game play charts have had a big shake up, with the number one spot being taken by Overwatch 2! Finally, Fortnite has been kicked off the pedestal. But how long can this last? Microsoft has decided it's quite serious about buying Activision Blizzard, and decided to fact check Sony on their lies. You love to see it! And it's about time too. We've been hanging out for ages now. No Man's Sky gets a great quality of life update, but you can't jump into it yet. Not because the game servers are down *cough* Overwatch 2 *cough*, but because this month is #terrorTober! Join us in playing a scary game this month, and tell us all about on Discord. Need for Speed is back with, what is shaping up to be, their most impressive game since Underground 2. Anime meets arcade racing? We're here for it. And apparently The Witcher 3 is getting its next-gen patch this month. Kyle doesn't believe it, while Lee does. What a turn of events! Are you holding out hope for it? Or have you moved onto other games by now? We went to #PAXAUS! And we were all together. In the same room! So we did what we did best, and recorded a podcast.

We did it. We managed to get together at PAX Australia! Join us as we cover everything #PAXAUS - what we liked, what we didn't, and everything in-between.

Are you ready for this podcast? Because we aren't. A quick announcement - we're taking a break from #GameFace! for a bit. With PAX heading our way and Kyle and Simone getting busy with life, it's best to take a chill pill and come back in time for #terrorTober. In the meantime, join our Discord and tell us what you're playing in October! Have we covered the Tokyo Game Show? Or was that another, dodgier, podcast? Well, if we haven't, we're about to go over it. All the exciting announcements that came out. From fighting games to Japanese games to surprise Game Pass drops - there's so much to go over. And as is expected with these things - almost everything is coming to #GamePass! 343i has had a big shake up recently. Bonnie Ross has left and now we have three more peeps to try guide Halo along. Is this good news? Is this bad news? Or do you think, like Kyle, that this means the future for Halo Infinite is bright? Diablo IV is getting a beta test! How exciting! And it's all end game content? What does this mean... Avoiding story spoilers is the official reason Blizzard have given, but there's got to be more. Nightmare Dungeons incoming! And we are hyped! But the beta is only going out to those who have played a significant amount of Diablo III end game? Hmm...

Our episodes may be late, but no one is blaming anyone. We're getting excited for the Tokyo Game Show! Lee is going to do a live stream with some friends, so keep an eye on his Twitch channel or Twitter for updates. Although we won't blame you if you put him on mute. You may get some #nuNews spoilers... As practice, he got up at 7AM on Sunday to stream a live reaction to Ubisoft Forward. We go over everything that was covered. And the answer is... not much. So don't get too excited. The Division 2, The Division PVP, The Division Mobile Game, and then Assassins Creed, and Assassins Creed, and to top it off, more Assassins Creed. Almost like Ubisoft has one or two ideas... And then their Sea of Thieves clone in Skull & Bones. Xbox has shown off a new dashboard. And Kyle has thoughts. So many thoughts. Thoughts that lead into a bit of a rant. And then a very big rant about it. Something tells us that maybe he's not that impressed. Have you seen the new dash and what are you thoughts? For some good news - the Elite Series 2 Controller is now available in Design Labs! Get to those cool customizations and lets see what you come up with.

Lee gets a new laptop. The queen has passed on. And Kyle is making sure he is ready to be knighted. At PAX, Lee is going to do Orange Justice! It's no Floss, so it's more of a challenge. In fact, it's so hard, Simone will give Lee $40 if he can do it. The challenge has now been laid down. Will you be at PAX with us to witness history? The Yappening is happening in Halo, and has absorbed Kyle for a while. Big Team Skockets is amazing and the good news is that the game mode will hang around after the event ends. Could this be Halo actually listening to the community? We wait and see... Simone's sister has started House Flipper and treats it like a role playing game - lining up the dining room table, opening the windows, and being like a real house owner! How odd. If you ever wanted to role play House Flipper, now you know how. Also, Simone discovers a secret in Halo - the legend of FlipYap! If you never heard about it, well do we have a treat for you. Lee tries to escape hell in Hades and is convincing us to try it out, just when it's leaving Game Pass. Luckily we have the Game Pass special price. When he gets bored of failing to escape, its then time to Destroy All Humans. If you'd like to support the podcast, but don't know how, then just leave a review on your podcast platform of choice.

We are the wizards of podcasting. We're never early, we're never late. We arrive exactly when we mean to! There's an Apple Event coming up that Kyle is super excited for. Lee, not so much. Who would have thought? Kyle intends to live Tweet it; Lee intends to be sarcastic. It's almost like our entire podcast is built on this dynamic! Ubisoft Forward is scheduled to show off more Assassin's Creed, and Lee threatens to watch it live. But it hasn't stopped Ubisoft from teasing the latest entry into the series - Mirage. Set in Baghdad, and dropping the RPG elements, it's more a return to the basics that made the series great. Game Pass Ultimate Friends & Family has been officially announced! Now, how can we stack it? Because that's the most important question here... The limitations are interesting too. Xbox is back in Tokyo for the Tokyo Game Show and we're hoping for a lot more Japanese game announcement! But should we be? #PAXAus is coming up quick fast and in a hurry. And we'll be there! If you're attending, let us know. We'd love to meet you. And we may even have some sneaky stickers to give away... Speaking of stickers - check out our merch!

What is this? New music? When did we become so cool? Xbox Cloud Gaming will support mouse and keyboard. This means everyone on a netbook will be able to experience the power of the cloud! Is Xbox about to kill the PC upgrade? It certainly seems like it, but it's not exactly a bad thing either. Classic Bethesda games are joining Game Pass! This bodes very well for the future. And makes us super excited for a future where Xbox owns Activision-Blizzard. Imagine StarCraft in Game Pass? That would be amazing! A Kiwi game dev takes up arms against the film industry. The NZ govt gives so many grants to the tv and movie peeps, but completely ignores the gaming sector. So, he's threatened to leave for Australia. He can come hang out with Kyle and Simone! We'll get him on the podcast! Square Enix hosted a fire sale, with some games dropping as low as $3! And to top off the sale, they are selling a $13,000 statue. Because nothing says sale quite like selling a kidney! We'll be at PAX! Will you be at PAX? Do you want to be at PAX? And do you want to meet us? Now is your chance!

Lee's beard gets fluffy when it rains. But what happens when he's in space? We're wrapping up #back2YourBacklog. Lee missed the memo about finishing games, and instead started every game possible. Safe to say he did not finish a single game. Almost like he planned ahead for June '23 when we run #backToYourBacklog. Simone didn't expect to finish The Sims, but we can argue with Lee dying, it's an end. And of course, Kyle didn't get near to finishing Breathedge. Kyle and inventory management is an interesting relationship... But in fairness, both Kyle and Simone moved house, so we have that excuse and we're sticking to it. Lee also has a game review for you! What do you think of us doing game reviews? Do you like them? Would you like more? We'll be at PAX! Will you be at PAX? Do you want to be at PAX? And do you want to meet us? Now is your chance!

#Gamescom has arrived! And as is tradition, we go through almost everything... All the announcements are new to Kyle, and Lee takes his job of catching Kyle up very seriously. Lee goes through every announcement. And it's all new to Kyle. So, he gets to react, live on the podcast! Will this be a train wreck, or will this be a brand-new exciting format? Who knows! In fact, there is almost no other news apart from Gamescom. But don't fret, we still have the charts! Saints Row has come out and the reception has been rather... rocky, to put it lightly... Soul Hackers 2 brings the first Atlas West games to Xbox, and begins the influx of the Persona games joining the platform. If you like your JRPG's and have been envious of the competition, well then, your time has come. We'll be at PAX! Now is your chance to meet us! We may even have some sneaky stickers to give away...

We have an incredibly special guest! That'll teach Kyle for being sick. Emily joins us for a special episode of #GameFace! And we introduce her to Riders Republic. The great chaotic downhill racing game that almost everyone has forgotten about! It's almost like it has become our job to be the only podcast that remembers this game... Now we challenge you to jump in and join us! Emily is playing the Nier Replicant Remaster for #back2YourBacklog, and is making us all want to play it. A book is magic and sucks people in and then talks to you. Sounds like a typical Japanese game to us! Hopefully it gets you excited to play it too. Be sure to follow Emily on Twitch and Twitter for some good, chill vibes. You won't regret it. Tell us what you're playing using the hashtag #back2YourBacklog.

Have we got news for you? Or do we not have news? In the news this week, we go over Sony blocking games, Xbox attending Gamescom, how to get and spend your Microsoft Reward points and the Hyperkin Duke Xbox Controller. Sony has been accused of blocking games from coming to Game Pass. And everything Microsoft is accusing them of was already leaked a year ago, with the Capcom and Resident Evil contract. Now that it's out in the public eye, let's see if anything happens. What do you think should be the outcome of all of this? Lee tries to convince Kyle to get a Hyperkin Duke 20th Anniversary Xbox Controller, with features such as a braided, detachable cable and 3.5mm jack amongst other features. Kyle remains unconvinced. But when it comes to playing Overcooked split controller style, it may be worth it... Xbox is going to Gamescom and has announced a 6-hour live stream. Showing off and expanding on all the games covered in at the Xbox Bethesda Showcase. What are you most looking forward to seeing? We're hoping for something sneaky. We'll be at PAX! Will you be at PAX? Do you want to be at PAX? And do you want to meet us? Now is your chance! We may even have some sneaky stickers to give away... Speaking of stickers - check out our merch!

Some chocolate frustrates Kyle's throat. There's just something in it that makes the chocolate spicy... It's still August. It's still #back2YourBacklog. We're still playing through some backlog games. Lee is playing a library worth of games, which means he may actually win #back2YourBacklog... FarCry 3 gets you to kill goats to upgrade your guns. Because of reasons. Then to take a break from shooting things on an island, he jumps into Duke Nukem Forever to shoot things in the future. And to take a break from that, he then shoots some pool. Except it's not pool, it's snooker. And apparently those are completely different games. Simone is chomping at the bit to update us on all the gossip in The XboxCast house! And it seems there has been a death in the family. Was it murder? Is foul play suspected? Or was someone getting too comfortable around electric fences? So much intrigue! Kyle is hammering away at Breathedge, and has resorted to using a guide to help him along. Have things gotten better for our hero stranded in space? Now it's your turn!

Lee is internet famous. And he's not even a meme! Train Sim World 3 is coming to Game Pass! And boy are we excited! We have train names. And route names. And all the exciting details you need as you drive a train. After giving it so much stick last week, we're now super excited to drive a train. Are you getting excited with us? Because oh my word, this marketing blurb has all fired up. Assassin's Creed Valhalla is getting a brand new rogue-lite (or is it roguelike?) experience. From new weapons, to new baddies, to new maps. Maybe the new Creed game is not actually coming out as Valhalla becomes Destiny 2... Jump into The Forgotten Saga and earn in-game memories. The Ascent is getting some DLC! Finally! Swords! Stories! More top-down cyberpunk action. What more could you want? And it's only $10. So come on guys, jump on it. Lee will love you forever. Unity is partnering with Microsoft. What does this mean? We don't know, thanks to all the corporate speak. But it doesn't stop us from being tentatively excited... Surely this means something, but what? Don't ask us, because we don't know... We'll be at PAX! Will you be at PAX? Do you want to be at PAX? And do you want to meet us? Now is your chance! We may even have some sneaky stickers to give away...

Top tip of the week: turn it off and on again and then turn it upside down. It's all to do with gravity and other science words. #backToYourBacklog continues! Simone is now getting to grips with a household of crazy Sims. How do the patrons behave when left alone? Has anyone drowned in the pool yet? And who is the flirtiest patron? So many questions, not many answers. But at least The Sims makes for some fantastic stories! Lee and Simone nerd out about Control. Apparently, there's a fridge that needs looking after. Lee tests how far he can fall before the game says no. And to break up all the Control playing, he even checks out Far Cry 3. How does it hold up after 10 plus years? And has he gotten better at avoiding enemies since last week? Kyle is suffering through Breathedge. But at least it gives him an excuse to rant and rave. So of course, from one space game to another, he's back into No Mans Sky. And shooting poor NPC's who just want to mine some asteroids... Now it's your turn! Tell us what you're playing using the hashtag #back2YourBacklog. And if you need a reminder of the events throughout the year, we have a very handy calendar on our website! We'll be at PAX!

Are you ready to be showered with only the newest news? Wash your hair with it? Solve all your problems? At least we can solve your news problems! Lee is debating on what Pixel phone to buy. Should he go for the 6A, or wait for the 7? And can he slip it into his bag and avoid New Zealand's Customs? Whatever he decides, it's about time he upgrades. Can we get him to upgrade to an iPhone? Or an iPad? We're sure he'll love being in the Apple Ecosystem! Sony have come out and said how great of a deal Activision Blizzard would be for Xbox. In fact, they showered Call of Duty with so much praise, it's probably going to be in the next advertising campaign. Meanwhile, Xbox has been telling the regulators that "there is nothing special about CoD" and it's "not a system seller". Looks like the war of words is going to heat up as the deal gets closer and closer to closing... Bungie has gone radio silent, and it's all due to the community turning toxic, sending death threats to the devs. And we can't believe we have to say it (again). If you're sending death threats to the developers, maybe it's time to step away from the game. Just take a break. Go touch come grass. Maybe find another hobby? The Ascent is now a year old and earned over $5 million in its first week alone! Now we're getting an expansion for this game. Lee is stoked. Wildlands is now on GamePass! This is quite exciting - Ubisoft games coming to the service could only mean Microsoft is going to buy them. Right? Right? Have you ever wanted to use a TV as a monitor? Because we have an indepth review of using the LG C2 for just that purpose. And you can read the review here. We'll be at PAX! Now is your chance to meet us!

#back2YourBacklog is here! Are you excited? Because we're excited! August's event is upon us once again. #back2YourBacklog sees us going into our backlog to play (and hopefully finish) a game that's we've been meaning to play for a while, but have not started up. That's right, August is the month for starting that game you never got around to. What will you play? Simone has landed on The Sims 4. And in typical XboxCast fashion, the Sim's household is already in a state of fantastic chaos. Who made it into the house to live with us? What are their traits? And who doesn't like wearing pants? Lee wanted to play Control. So, he started up a completely unrelated game. Because of reasons. Do you think his excuse is justified? Or does he need to pay penance? Kyle is trying two games this August. After much convincing, he's finally jumping into Breathedge - a space survival type game. Similar to Subnautica. Hopefully he can finish this game before August is over... And in typical Kyle fashion, he has set his aspirations too high again and hopes to get into Chorus too. Why does he keep doing this to himself? Now it's your turn! Tell us what you're playing using the hashtag #back2YourBacklog.

Lee has been on a movie buying binge. Kyle has been eating cake. We all know who's winning. 2K has decided to take a few games away. And was there any announcement? Or did they just delist them from the store? Without any fanfare, WWE 2K20 and older are disappearing from the stores, servers are being shut down, and 2K are trying to pull a jedi mind trick on all of us. What do you mean there was a WWE 2K19? You must be dreaming. Que the hand wave... No Man's Sky is getting their 20th expansion! Endurance is leaning into the Star Trek vibes by overhauling freights and carriers and so many other things. You can now staff your freight fleet and send them on missions and are you ready to lose another week or more to this game? But with all these updates, where does Starfield find itself? Is there enough to differentiate the two? We maintain they are both different games, and the more people playing space games the better! We have a bunch of top tips of the week for you. But we need someone to sing this for us. Can you sing? We'd love to have you introduce Top Tip of The Week! Our top tips are not so much top tips as in more of a remember - your Xbox can do X. Isn't that amazing! And in the good news part of the show - your Xbox is about to become faster. At least by 5 seconds faster! And they did it by shortening the startup animation. Did you get a $16 voucher from Xbox? Lee got one. Gary got one. Cooper got one. Almost everyone but Kyle got one. It's beginning to look personal. We'll be at PAX! Will you be at PAX?

We did it guys! We reached 100 subscribers on YouTube and now we can give away some games! If you have been listening for more than 3 minutes, you'll know that we were doing a massive push to get to 100 subs on YouTube so we can get a nice new fancy URL. Well, thanks to your help, we finally did it. And because we did it, we can now give away those games we promised! The winners are... N1ck283 won Quantum Break ThatKidQuinn won Sunset Overdrive Toast is just burnt bread won Satisfactory and Liz Nes won Back 4 Blood The one month of PC Game Pass goes to Isaac for his fantastic comment about how much he loves the website!

We're supposed to be reading the news to you. But instead, we're going to torture you with stories about really good fish and chips... The charts have not changed in a while, with Fall Guys still being number one... But something is creeping towards taking the number one spot. What game would you want to be remastered? Or a dormant IP that you want to come back? Well, we spend far too much time going over what games we want to see get the next-gen treatment or make a comeback. Total Annihilation needs to come back. No arguments! We'd be keen to hear what you think. Obsidian's Grounded is getting an animated series, but already has some big names attached to it. A feature on Xbox has still not made it to Windows PC's and we nerd out explaining what it is and why. Kyle calls for Microsoft to break backwards-compat in Windows, and actually make a great OS. Lee is not so sure. But just think of what could happen if they decide to do it... If you like your Xbox podcasts with a lot of nerd and hardware tech talk, then this is for you! We'll be at PAX!

Impromptu event! Get your terrible games out of the way. And spend September crying. We're thinking of a month where you play really bad games. One month of really bad games to get them off the backlog. Sad Game September is born! And we'll promptly forget about it, so only participate if you want. Or remember. Or want to remind us all to suffer. Lee does not like Fall Guys. In fact, he thinks it's a stupid game. We think it's because he doesn't win. But isn't winning just the friends we made along the way? He's also not a fan of Gears. Or Matchpoint Tennis. What does he like? Nobody knows... Kyle is still hunting for the perfect pants in CyberPunk. And he's probably going to be stuck there for a while. But the best thing is all the mini-world building stories you find along the way. From rockers whose gigs when off the rails, to corpos trying to escape Night City and things going horribly wrong. But the good news is that they no longer need that hat. So... yoink! And the whole Cast is still neck deep in Naraka. Has it gotten harder? We seem to think so. Looks like the balancing act between PC and console was favored towards Xbox, and now it has swung the other way. Which brings an end to the amazing winning streak we had going. But that aside, we're still playing and still Ninja Simulator-ing everywhere! We'll be at PAX! Will you be at PAX? Do you want to be at PAX? And do you want to meet us? Now is your chance!

Kyle has the best golf words. He knows exactly how to golf. Lee very patiently explains golf to Kyle as the podcast immediately goes off track. But were you expecting anything different? It's not like you're listening for Xbox news. Who would make such a rookie mistake! Come for the Xbox news, stay for the golf chat. If you become the next Tiger Woods, you can thank us later. The charts continue to surprise us as Fortnite has yet to reclaim its no.1 space. Unfortunately, GTA V is still hanging about. But we do have some new entries, which we shall watch with interest. Everyone is still slightly obsessed with Naraka, so we may begin covering more Naraka news. And we begin with their Fall Guys cross over event! Yes, you read that right - Fall Guys in Ninja Simulator 2022. Because of course! Skull & Bones is official, totally real and coming out soon! Set in the Indian Ocean, we have a wealth of news all about this game. You feed your boat, and keep your pirate chums happy. Or they'll mutiny! And we can't have that. It messes with getting brunch. Xbox Cloud Gaming looks worse on Linux in a total non-surprise move. Who would have thought Microsoft Cloud Gaming would prefer Microsoft Edge on Microsoft Windows? Lucky for you, we have a way to work around it. But if you're using Linux and listening to us, please let us know. We have some questions for you... For the new games, we have Power Wash Simulator!

We have reached 300 episodes! Let's rejoice! By insulting the other hosts of the podcast... Kyle and Lee have a hidden talent. They happen to be good at Naraka Bladepoint! Like really good. Like surprisingly good. Almost competition level! Is this the start of talking about Naraka every episode? Let's hope not. But you should still play! It's great fun, and slightly technical. Top tip of the week: dual blades. Dual blades murder all. Use them. Simone is busy cleaning houses in House Flipper, scrubbing windowsills, selling ladders, and not picking up cars. In between, she's leaving her fate up to TrueAchievements random To-Do list! As in, playing random games that TA says you should play. What crazy is this? We'll be at PAX! Will you be at PAX? Do you want to be at PAX? And do you want to meet us? Now is your chance! We may even have some sneaky stickers to give away... Speaking of stickers - check out our merch!

We present the newest news you could news. Fresh from the wellspring of news. Do we need Ski Free to be remastered, ray traced and re-released? Kyle thinks we do. How good would the 4-bit game look in 4K! You can't deny you'd play it. We all would. And it would all the game awards. Fall Guys has knocked off Fortnite for the second week in a row! There is much rejoicing! How does XCloud Game Streaming work on the new Samsung TVs? And What TV do you even need? We break down all the steps it takes to get it working... And you may want to take notes. Spoiler alert: it's not easy. But in some good news, it means you don't need to wait for Xboxes to come back into stock. Kyle and Lee get way too much into tennis thanks to Match Point coming out and onto Game Pass on Day 1. We may just become The SportCast at the end of this! And for everyone that doesn't really know much about tennis, be prepared to be educated. You'll love our deep knowledge of the sport. We'll be at PAX! Will you be at PAX? Do you want to be at PAX?

We're celebrating 300 episodes! And you're invited to the Live Stream celebration! Oh, and we can now give away those games for our #GreatGameGiveaway! We have reached the 100-subscriber threshold on YouTube, and we'll be doing it on our 300th Live Stream Celebration. Come join us, and help celebrate being a part of this amazing journey. We're wrapping up #BackToYourBacklog and highlighting the fantastic efforts of the community. It's amazing to see how many people stuck within the spirit of the challenge, and how much Kyle didn't. Simone managed to complete Maneater and The Division 2! With Kyle's help of course. And Lee's help. Oh, and Jester was there too... And now we're looking towards August, and #back2YourBacklog2. What game will you start? And will you finish it? We'll be at PAX! Will you be at PAX? Do you want to be at PAX? And do you want to meet us? Now is your chance!

Tea bagging in games is a rite of passage. Or is it? A Twitter debate has flared up around tea bagging, and we have some thoughts. Is it as harmless as it seems? Is it unsolicited? Does it make you feel warm and fuzzy inside or fill you with burning rage? We explore the aspects, take apart the pros and cons, analyze the socioeconomic impact and come to the conclusion that it just means git gud scrub. Shadowrun is now on Game Pass, and it's not just one game, but the whole trilogy! If you have not played this, it is highly recommended by the entire internet. You heard that right. The entire internet! Featuring a bewildering character creation, a deep story and set in a fantasy cyberpunk future, what more could you want? We have no Nu & Noteworthy games this week due to our regular source not having the list up... Come on Xbox Wire! We rely on you to make us look good. And you let us down. Maybe next week we'll do a big catch-up? There's some excitement in the world of The XboxCast! Lee may have bought a house with his groceries... Just like a big boi now. And we're so proud of him. Make sure to congratulate him on Twitter! We'll be at PAX! Will you be at PAX? Do you want to be at PAX? And do you want to meet us? Now is your chance!

We're meanz, leanz, and the only podcast to feature The BeanNZ! This is GameFace! and We're the XboxCast! We're becoming quite the educational podcast! We've learnt what paper is, that Swedes have pancakes and steel capped sandles for lunch, and that it's Beansday Eve! We just love giving back to the community. You can thank us later. Oh, and we're also still full of first aid knowhow. If you ever find someone who needs help, you'll be grateful that you listened to us. We're still impressed with our community rising to the #backToYourBacklog challenge, completing so many games that have been there for years! We're super proud of everyone taking part! Good job guys. Kyle and Simone dragged Lee into A Pirates Life in Sea of Thieves and we have some feedback. Kyle played the choose your own Batman game from Telltale. And Simone is working her way through The Division 2. Will she finish it before June? Kyle has been solidly stuck in Cyberpunk since getting sick and abandoning Tomb Raider... What a twist!

Lee is now a professional dabber. He can dab with the best of them. And then call you an ambulance. We are taking a break from reading the news to you, to tell you all about the advances in First Aid! Who would have known that so much has changed? We certainly didn't. The Heimlich Maneuver is out, and the back slap is in. At least now if you ever get into trouble, you can now call Lee. This should make you even more excited about meeting us later this year. Vin Diesel claims you're not a true gamer if you're not excited about Ark 2. We already know we aren't real gamers here, so this is not exactly news to us... However, ole Vinnie D might have something to say about that as he does the dinosaur drift. You'll soon be able to stream all the games you own on XCloud! Now that's an advancement of some amazing tech, and we can't wait for it. No longer will we be limited to the 1,000s of games on Game Pass. Starfield news is still coming out, and it brings back a beloved (maybe) feature from The Elder Scrolls 2. You can now start with a house and in crippling dept. Just like real life! Kinda... Bunnings now sells computers and game stuff. And it's all Call of Duty branded. And has RGB, projectile lights, and other amazing gamery things. For when you want to build a deck and a game room at the same time! Samsung TV's now have Xbox Game Pass built in. But you must buy the new 2022 models. And you can pair the Xbox Controller directly to the TV. But still - no Xbox required! The future truly has arrived! We'll be at PAX! Will you be at PAX? Do you want to be at PAX?

The Lee and Simone takeover you've been wanting. Now can you all stop asking? Please? Slap bang in the middle of #backToYourBacklog, it's time to see how the community is getting on. Who's finished what and how are they getting on? Kingsman and Neomaster are neck and neck, completing five games each. And in the true spirit of #backToYourBacklog, some of these games have been on the backlog since 2011... Now that's dedication. What will they play next June? Lee and Simone both have two story completions under their belt! Good going guys! Now tell us how far you've gotten for this month's challenge. And jump into our Discord to share all your completions. We'll be at PAX! Will you be at PAX? Do you want to be at PAX? And do you want to meet us? Now is your chance!

E3 may be dead, but the Xbox Showcase lives on! Kyle and Simone recount their story of attending the Fanfest Watch Party in Melbourne, meeting Xbox's Major Nelson and handing out copious amounts of stickers. And then it's all about the showcase. Going through every announcement and having a few chuckles along the way. Want to find out what your favorite podcast thinks about all of this? Or what about Lee's thoughts on Redfall? You'll just have to listen to find out. A big thank you to XboxANZ for the tickets, Fortress Melbourne for the hosting and Xbox for the games!

Kyle is hearing double voices; Lee is bragging about the weather. And Simone is bored and boring... We're still in #backToYourBacklog and trying to get through some games to reduce our backlog. Simone has 112 games on her list, Lee is fighting orcs and Kyle is trying to justify playing a game he's already finished. What are you playing and how far have you gotten? Welcome to all our new Patrons. We can pronounce our name anyway we like, and you're going to regret supporting us after this one. Listen to Noel's special episode and then let's convince him to come back on! We're also getting ready for our 300th episode! And we're going to invite you to tell us all about ourselves. It's not going to be awkward at all, it will be fine. We're still organizing this, so jump into our Discord and let us know what you'll be keen for. Join us on Monday (NZ time) while Lee does a live reaction on YouTube to the Xbox Bethesda Showcase. And then on Monday night when we record an incredibly special episode! We're now going to the Xbox Bethesda Fanfest Watch Party *AND* PAX in Melbourne this year. Want to come meet us? Now is your chance! We may even have some sneaky stickers to give away...

#NuNews is all the Xbox news you need to know about. If you have to think about it, you've already lost. Are you cleverer for playing video games? A study thinks games help with intelligence in the youths of today. However, Kyle disagrees. If you're smart, you tend to not waste time on TV, and instead use your noggin to smash demons in the face in DOOM! Top Gun stuff has come to Microsoft's Flight Simulator, and it brings with it the super-secret SR-71 Darkstar! Now you can travel at Mach 10 in the upper stratosphere while your plane slowly glows all around you. And could this be the new multiplayer experience? Just have someone yelling at you about turning right! A game dev has come to bat for Xbox Game Pass. He is a massive Game Pass fan as a person who actually uses the service, and completely destroys the narrative that Game pass is bad for the industry. Not like Microsoft has been saying this since 2018... All this and more, including the charts, in this episode of #NuNews! We're now going to the Xbox Bethesda Fanfest Watch Party *AND* PAX in Melbourne this year. Want to come meet us? Now is your chance! We may even have some sneaky stickers to give away...

Lee now has automation - he presses buttons and things happen. Is this the beginning of having computers take over the podcast? We have a question from our community! How exciting! People want to know things about us and make us think. What do you think? Do you have any questions? Join our Discord, or Tweet at us, and we'll do one a week. We promise we'll answer all the questions. Maybe. Let's see if we remember this next podcast! Twas the night before #backToYourBacklog, and all through the podcast, we played a lot of games. Lee played them all, Simone played some and Kyle played a bit. We're still very confused about Tiny Tina's Attack on Dragon Keep and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. Since they are the same game. But with differnet names. And different stories. And maybe different characters. Other than that, it's exactly the same which is why we're so confused. CyberPunk 2077 is still Kyle's go to game, and if it wasn't for the podcast, he might have finished it by now. But with June so close, it looks like that is going into the backlog... Simone is still a shark, doing shark things, living her best shark life. But now with electric teeth! If that's not an upgrade, then what is. Are you looking for a soundbar to go with your brand new LG C1 or CX? Lee has bought a nice new shiny 11.1.4 surround sound system and rubs it in. If you like your sound and want to make your gaming experience better, then join our Discord and have us help you! Because at the end of the day, we're all a bunch of geeks.

Breaking news: June is soon. It rhymes, so you know it's true. Hey, we don't make the rules. #BackToYourBacklog is kicking off in June, and we're getting ourselves super excited about that. Not sure what that is? Well, we have a handy event's page that will break it down for you. With E3 going away this year, it's time for the Summer Game Fest. And it seems like this year might actually be the year it takes off. Xbox socials clapped back at Kotaku and it was great to see. Sometimes you just need to put the clickbait back where it belongs. Now we'll wait for them to write a story about how terrible that Twitter ratio was. No Man's Sky got an update and made its way into the charts, which made Kyle's heart very happy. And Game Pass is getting more games. Just a few games. Not many at all. EA is trying hard to sell itself off. Practically standing at the traffic lights with a sign reading "game publisher for $3.50" at this stage. Who do you want to buy EA, or should they spin off all their studios? And Ed Fries thinks Game Pass is not a great idea. Comparing it to Spotify which helped the music industry increase by 75% over the last few years. Yet, gaming and music listening are quite different... We're going to be at the Xbox Fanfest Watch Party and then PAX Melbourne! So, if you're a listener and hoped to meet us, well now if your chance! We may even have some stickers to give away... Remember to pay the fee.

We're going to Fanfest in Melbourne! Are you going? Will we see you there? Are you excited? Will you get some stickers? We have a store! Do you want some merch? So far we have stickers. And stickers. And more stickers! Get your merch now. Lee has played a game every day this past week... Someone needs to tell him to settle down. A few quick games and one broken Twitter later, Lee now sits at 45 games completed. He has no idea what happened. Look at him go, turning into our very own Achievement Hunter! Simone and Kyle have officially completed the story for Anthem - only 3 years later. We all mourn for what this game could have been. Beware of spoilers! And Simone is still hunting men in Maneater! She now has shiny teeth. We're all very envious. Kyle is still going through CyberPunk 2077. Nothing quite like taking a game nice and slow and absorbing all the game has to offer. But it frustrates Lee. He just likes to shoot things. We're going to be at PAX Melbourne! Do you want to get an XboxCast hug? Come up to us and do the floss! Then we'll know that you're a listener. And you may get stickers, or merch, or maybe just the promise of merch... But who knows. We don't remember half of what we say. Remember to pay the fee!
