Welcome back to the Super BS Gamescast. On this episode, I'm talking to somebody who is a lot more talented than I am. I'm joined by Colin Doran of the band Hundred Reasons. We sit down and talk about the new album, Glorious Sunset, which is due out February 24th. You can check out five of the ten tracks on iTunes today! Since we're a podcast about video games . . . mostly, we also had a nice chat about video games. A few things mentioned involve retro games and consoles, importing video games from different regions, and video game preservation. We also dive into a few predictions for 2023, with Colin making a bold one involving Metroid Prime. We discuss the art of soulslike games by FromSoftware and why Hidetaka Miyazaki is an amazing creator, Hideo Kojima is a breath of fresh air in the gaming industry, and Josh complains about the convoluted storylines of Tetsuya Nomura . . . again. All of this and more on this very special episode of the Super BS Gamescast.

Welcome back to another mini episode of the Super BS Gamescast. This time around we're discussing what we've been playing, what we're looking forward to now that gaming season has begun, and we talk briefly on the news that the U.K. has labeled in-game micro transactions as "gambling" and is now requiring developers to have gambling licenses before releasing games with that kind of content. All this and more on this episode of the Mini BS Gamescast. Don't forget to follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. And feel free to leave us a review on iTunes and Apple Podcasts.

Guess what gaming fans! We have another exciting interview for you straight from the Super BS Presents files. This time we're joined by Andy Schatz of Pocketwatch Games. We're talking about his game Tooth and Tail, and his place in the rise of console gaming in the early 2000s. He also gives us some insight into what it means to play a strategy game with a controller, and an in-depth look into the indie games space. If you like this interview, please check out our full-length podcast and feel free to rate and review us on iTunes and Apple Podcasts.

Welcome back to another full length episode of the Super BS Gamescast. It's been a few weeks since the dudes were actually together and talking video games. On this episode, we talk about what we've been playing. Then we jump into the news a bit before getting into our two bigger topics. Is it worth it to 100% complete games? Some developers try to discourage 100% completion by making it a huge pain in the ass. Others encourage and almost force you to 100% complete games by making them ridiculously hard to beat unless you've done everything else. Who really has the time for that? And speaking of time, what are your thoughts on loot boxes and developers filling their games with micro-transactions so that people who don't have time to play games can just buy everything they need? It's becoming an epidemic, and we have some very specific and heated things to say about it. As always, you can follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. And feel free to leave us a review on iTunes and Apple podcasts. Thanks a lot and happy gaming!

We discuss Amibos for Metroid, a few Kickstarters that barely got off the ground, Console sales and how many Nintendo is projecting to sell before the year is over.

Welcome to the first ever episode 18 of the Super BS Gamescast. On this episode, we're once again joined by Jake Schaffer who has been spending on some time playing Shovel Knight. Dave has been playing Ori and the Blind Forest. Brian started his week off with some Mario Kart 8, then played some Horizon: Zero Dawn and finished the week off with the Destiny 2 beta.

Welcome back to another episode of the Super BS Gamescast. On this episode we're joined once again by Dave . . . or is Stank Bank? These names get confusing. We're also joined by Stank McMaster, whose real name might be Jake Schaffer. There's been plenty of news this past week. The release date for Gran Turismo was announced, and the Nintendo Switch is getting its first video streaming service, which isn't Netflix. Dave talks about stocks in the video game world. Brian tries to repurpose stock market references. We defintely don't talk about Final Fantasy. And finally, Brian asks an important question. What do we think of games that continue to evolve after they come out? After all, this might be what the future of gaming looks like, which will hopefully be better than Mass Effect: Andromeda. All this and more on this episode of the Super BS Gamescast.

Welcome back to a brand new episode of the Super BS Gamescast! On this episode we introduce that newest member of our team, Stank Bank (Name TBD) or you can call him Dave.

Josh has been playing Halo Wars: Definitive Edition, Final Fantasy XV: Episode Prompto and he's been diving into the Sega Forever releases on iOS. Apparently he hates mobile games. Brian's been playing things 80% of gamers haven't heard of. And Dave has kids. So he hasn't been playing a whole lot. We'll also be diving into the aftermath of E3 2017 and discussing why Nintendo is so disappointing, even though we're all excited about the SNES Classic Edition. We also steal a joke from another podcast, but don't tell anybody. All of this and more on the first ever episode 16 of the Super BS Gamescast!
