News is a natural byproduct of video games, and it’s also a renewable resource! We are dishing it out this week as the current events just keep coming. This week, Epic sues a leaker. Blizzard gets leaked, twice. Mixer adds another couple of big streamers to its exclusive roster. Bethesda pitches a change to Fallout 76 which is not popular. Plus, a surprising mod for Borderlands 3! Then, we look ahead at the holiday season release list and find it… wanting.

The chimes of controversy and conspiracy are sounding! In the news of the week, we discuss secret recipes and other dark dealings. Xbox dishes on Game Pass stats. Millions and millions of switches. Lots of League of Legends. Gamebyties GOAT Battletech gets an expansion, and Homeworld gets an unlikely adaptation. Plus, the new releases and RadSwitchGameTitles dot com. Then, we discuss the “rip-off” games we liked BETTER than the originals! Sound the chime!

There’s quite a mix of flavors this week in the games we played! But they go together like peanut butter and regular butter and peanuts. At least that good. This week Jeremy gets lost going down the cereal hole with the breakfast mascots of yesteryear, and makes an alarming connection to this very week in history. LeGrande enjoys the batjector seat in the Batmobile and hopefully doesn’t run down the battery. Dale finally catches up with his British past in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, but maybe it could use a laugh track.

We’re catching you up on the video games we played this week. Is it Kingdom Come Deliverance? Prey? Night Call? Creature in the Well? Blair Witch? No. These are the games LeGrande installed. In fact, we talk about Slay the Spire, a pretty good (but simple) roguelike card game. Jeremy played some free-to-start Kirby Super Clash on the Nintendo Switch, but gem apples taste sour. Don’t let that spoil the whole bunch! Have a bite!

Our thirst to satisfy your hunger for the news shall not be slaked. So we’re back, and we’re parched. This week, Jeremy, Dale, and LeGrande (and perhaps more) sit down at the hungry-thirsty table for the feast of current events. Shawn Layden departs Sony abruptly, PS Now gets reasonable, TLOU2, RDR2, Kirby dies, Destiny 2 changes, AlphaDream files, and more! Plus, we discuss our favorite development studios that have gone the way of the dodo.

In this cookiecast, LeGrande, Dale, and Jeremy are here to ask the hard questions. Science, energy drinks, and car frost are all bearing our scientific scrutiny today. But we don’t neglect games, and we got plenty to talk about. First, Dale talks about the highly-eventual release of Cube World, from a years-ago preorder. Jeremy causes mayhem with Untitled Goose Game. LeGrande elucidates the quickplay mode of Hunt: Showdown! Have a listen!

In this game-news-of-the-week episode, we revisit Sony’s recent “State of Play” event and what came from it. The Homeworld campaign is successful, but there’s still a chance to influence it. Ms Pac-Man enters the intellectual property twilight zone. The Uncharted movie gets director #6. And Half-Life 2 gets a major update. Plus, loads of freebies and subscription benefits, and we discuss games that allow you to be a public nuisance!
