Advancement!

Advancement!

Though we are missing our wonderful Elliot (I highly doubt they are), our resident game developer Max has assumed the throne! Crown him (king of mouth clicks) as he and Editor in Chief Eric talk about his game "Ocean's Heart" hitting the Switch, NFT's, then he (Max) and our Streamer Joseph talk about the advancement in "demakes". This episode is to the Max, so give it a listen! (so many!...) You can also preorder his game for the Switch here.

It's time to share our feelings

It's time to share our feelings

We have made it through the holiday break here on The Gaming Nexus Show. Video game news and releases may have been few and far in between the past couple of weeks, but things are looking up in the world of video games. Our topic for this week’s show was feelings. Eric and Elliot sat down to talk about theirs and the game Hades, something Elliot has been into since it’s initial release in 2020, and a game Eric has just recently given a try. After that Joseph chats with Eric about his cousin Ania. Of course we end with the selection of next episode’s word, and you’ll never believe who gets to finally pick it.
If you want to skip around (that’s totally fine with us) here are the jumping on points for this week’s segments:
2:55 Hades with Eric and Elliot
22:20 Joseph shares about Ania
57:33 wrap up and next episode’s theme

Trucks, and snakes... a podcast about video games

Trucks, and snakes... a podcast about video games

You read that right. This week we turned Eric's terrible idea of trucks and snakes into a podcast about video games. If you like that you'll love the next episode's word. We also give our thoughts on some of the Game Awards nominees. Max talks to Eric about a truck that meant a lot to some of us in our formidable years. Joe gives his thoughts on the game Returnal.  And stick around as Elliot loses his mind over who gets to pick the next topic.

If you want to skip around (that’s totally fine with us) here are the jumping on points for this week’s segments:
5:53 Game Awards
19:58 Mew under the truck
54:15 Returnal

Select, Start

Stuck at home with a room full of people you’re not super excited to see this Thanksgiving? Your weird uncle asleep on the couch? Want something time consuming without putting in any physical work? We may have the show for you. We have a heaping portion of The Gaming Nexus Show for you this week. This week our topic was press-start. Joseph found himself pushing start on a newly purchased PlayStation 5. And boy does he have opinions. He sat down with Eric to talk and tells the listeners if he thinks it’s worth trying to pick up one right now, or if you’re better off just waiting. Joseph wasn’t done giving you his opinion of things, and as such read his op-ed he wrote a few weeks back on gamingnexus.com. And finally Elliot and Eric talk about the recent stealth release of Halo Infinity’s multiplayer. Elliot comes from a background where he played the first handful of games almost religiously, and this was Eric’s first foray into the series. And not to shock anyone, they have different opinions of the release.

If you want to skip around (that’s totally fine with us) here are the jumping on points for this week’s segments:

Gamescom, Roblox, and Pokemon

Gamescom, Roblox, and Pokemon

This week on the podcast we discuss how Battlefield 2042 isn’t out yet for a few months but cheats like aimbot and radar are already out. Elliot attempts to bring up Pokemon, to the dismay of the other three hosts. We talk about Gamescom, and how Xbox Game Pass continues to be the best deal in gaming. Eric tries to cheat in Microsoft Flight Simulator, and Max does his research on Roblox, or is it Robux?

Comic Con, Ghostbusters, USA banning PCs, and Blizzard

We’re a little short staffed today (no Joe) So we decided to bring on friend of the show Jeff. Jeff has a number of podcasts one might find interesting. Budget Arcade (they review a free to play game every other week) The Movie Draft House (a movie review podcast) and Hitchcock Chronologically (He reviews all of Hitchcock's movies, well, chronologically).

This week the gang dives into San Diego Comic Con, and the lack of excitement shared by all, as well as EA’s Play Live from last week. Elliot admits to never playing a popular series of games, Max recommends spending time outdoors, Eric talks of his love for Ghostbusters, and Jeff just finds everything ok.

Once you subscribe on your platform of choice you can then check out some of our other stuff like Joseph's Twitch page, the soundtrack to Max’s game Ocean’s Heart, Eric’s YouTube or Elliot’s other podcast.

Tencent, Cris Tales, Foundation, and Black Panther

We don't really say it at the top of the show, but each week the boys from gamingnexus.com sit down to talk about the news that Elliot finds worth talking about, the others interject with things they deem important from time to time.

The boys of The Gaming Nexus Show (Max, Joe, Eric, and Elliot) bring an action packed episode where the biggest news of last week was the Steam Deck, and we talk a whole three minutes about it towards the end of the show. We had bigger fish to fry this week, namely wishing Eric a happy birthday on this week’s episode. We recall stories of past jobs where Eric was our boss, kinda like he is now. We talk about Netflix getting into the video game biz, and debate on who the Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl game is really aimed for. Other highlights include Eric admitting to never playing a pretty big series of games, Joe and Elliot reminiscing about the shows Salute Your Shorts and Hey Dude. And all poor Max wants is to get to his frisbee golf outing.
Be sure to check out some of our other stuff like Joseph's Twitch page, Max’s itch.io, Eric’s YouTube or Elliot’s other podcast.

Psychonauts 2, Ghost of Tsushima, making games that anyone can play

As always, check out gamingnexus.com to see the stories we covered but didn’t talk about on the podcast.

This week on The Gaming Nexus Show the boys talk about the trend of old school Nintendo games selling for insane amounts of money. We see what Sony showed what it has coming up, and if it was a smart move to stay away from E3 after all. Max holds a TED talk about making games that every person can enjoy; Elliot admits to not actually playing any games. Joseph once again bans no one, and Eric talks about having an awkward video game moment with his son and not knowing when to stop.

Back 4 Blood, Kojima, GTA, Cyberpunk 2077

Gamingnexus.com staff writers Eric Hauter and Elliot Hilderbrand sit down with game designer Max Mraz (Ocean's Heart) and streaming partner Joseph M. Moorer to talk about video games, movies, and video game movies this week. Cyberpunk 2077 gets back onto the PlayStation Store, Rockstar is ending support for GTA Online, and we discuss if Hideo Kojima really is making a new Silent Hill game or if it’s all just a big misunderstanding.

(For the record, the amount of actual editing this week was minimal, due to the complaining of the other three members)

Each week gamingnexus.com staff writers Eric Hauter and Elliot Hilderbrand are joined by video game designer Max Mraz (Ocean's Heart) and streaming partner Joseph M. Moorer to talk pop culture, movies, and of course videogames.

A bit of a slower news week as companies gear up for E3, but we manage to find something to talk about. This week the gang tackles topics wide and small. From someone selling a mcnugget for nearly $100,000, to terrible pride month celebrations in the videogame world. We hear Joseph’s thoughts on Facebook Gaming and Eric also defends Stadia.
