Game Time With Manny

In the wake of NotE3 the news is essentially dead. However, there's always time to dunk on Activision-Blizzard for their horrendous decisions and find out who won't be showing anything at Gamescom (almost everyone). Matt is getting way into the original Devil May Cry, while I started becoming a freak by playing Neon White. To finish we make the most offensive list of the top ten games with Mario in their title. Everyone will probably be upset.

The announcements of the non-E3 season rage on with showcases from Microsoft, Capcom, and Final Fantasy 7. A lot of cool games were announced and we talk about a good chunk of them. It seems like the announcements are slowing down now, but there still may be a Nintendo Direct to come. We forgo a part 3 again due to the abundance of news, but for our second part we talk about a bunch of games we played and some of them are even BRAND NEW!

This is the last week I'm watching my mom's dogs, so that means it's the final week with no timestamps for the time being. Not E3, or Keigh3 as some have dubbed it is in full swing. We talk about the myriad announces and upcoming showcases. News came out other than that like how Nintendo has a sequel to 1-2 switch ready to rip. Join us as we discuss all this and more!

I always feel the need to apologize for not doing time stamps, but here we are. I'm not at home and I just want to get this up quick. We jump right into not E3 with a bunch of news about Street Fighter 6, Final Fantasy XVI, and Pokémon Scarlet/Violet. I actually played some games, so we talk about what we played for a while longer than the previous few episodes. To finish Matt reads Amazon reviews of the hottest Wii party games we played back in the day.

We recorded earlier in the week because I have things going on this weekend, so there will be no timestamps. However, feel free to listen to us talk about the several release date announcements in the news. I played some more Rogue Legacy 2 and Matt started in on Assassin's Creed 3, To finish we do a bracket of the worst game we played during Party Game Sundays. Don't know what that is? You'll have to listen and find out!

Playstation announced the classic games coming to the upper PlayStation Plus tiers, and not E3 sure is getting a lot of streams.

Who could have guessed that Square-Enix would sell off almost all of their western studios to try and hit it big with crypto? Not me....

I have a cold this week, and we went a few days without power. Despite that video game news came out just for me. Several games I'm excited about got release dates and Sega is starting to chase that Fornite money! We mostly just played the same stuff as last week, due to the no power for a few days thing.

The news is so slight that Matt and I talk about cats and sticker shops. In terms of the gaming news Max Payne is coming back, and Activision Blizzard made all of their QA people full time, which rules! I played more Kirby, and Matt finished most of what he was playing and started Blasphemous.

I am an idiot. We recorded this on Wednesday March 30th, because I was busy the next few days. I then completely forgot to upload the episode and it's almost a week later now! I'm just throwing it up quickly... The news I remember is that Breath of the Wild 2 was delayed and that I played Kirby while Matt played Outland.

Bloomberg says that project Spartacus is right around the corner with its big reveal. Will Sony give us worse gamepass, or will they find a way to make something cool?

I'll be totally honest with you guys, I'm very tired today. The name of this episode is bad and I'm not doing time stamps... Anyways, we go over the news like several big name delays, what was shown at the State of Play and some release dates. Matt and I basically played the same stuff as last week, and then we finish by talking about Banjo-Kazooie.

We start off strong by discussing the Batman Popcorn Vessel before moving into gaming news like Epic buying Bandcamp?

Capcom is counting down to Street Fighter 6, Cyberpunk 2077 leaves early access, Esops are closing, and Sonic is already getting a new movie.
