Player Player: A Video Game Podcast

E3 is right around the corner, so naturally it's time to speculate and guess what's going to be announced this year. Will Microsoft announced a new console as early as this holiday season? Will Bethesda bless us with some sweet sweet Starfield gameplay? These questions and more will be answered next week, but until then let's make wild claims about what's going to happen. Actually, we'll take it one step further. We're going to make a game out of it and put a pizza on the line. Yeah. Trust me, this is not an episode you want to miss.

in our 5th Monthly Cooldown, we talk about Joseph's wacky Canadian adventures, the games we've completed this month, and some game news that we've been looking forward to!

In this episode the boys breakdown why the Dishonored franchise might be one of the most underrated series in the current generation of video games. 

The boys are spicing it up with the first ever Player Player Quiz Show! This time we're asking each other 5 questions about PlayStation games we've played in the past. Can you get all 10 questions right?

In this week's episode Arsene and I talk about his graduation, game of thrones, and non sequitur before taking a look at the games we eventually want to get back to, but have been putting off for quite awhile

The fellas get sidetracked and talk about Travis Scott and Endgame instead of talking about the topic, as usual. Sonic shows up too.

Update: Sorry about the late episode Spotify listeners! Looks like we're having some technical difficulties!

 

We talk about crazy lyft drivers, Joseph's experience with Cuphead, and the pure hype that is Endgame. We have an hour of pure audio gold for you guys today in our 4th (count em 4th) ever monthly cooldown. If you listen to the end we even have a special surprise for one lucky listener!

On this week's episode of Player Player, Th3HoopMan consults his game doctor on the next game he should play with his girlfriend.

Arsene gives us his initial impressions of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and afterwards we have a brief discussion on the soul crushing difficulty of the game and how that has split the gaming community.

This week we talk about the wild story about what went down at Bioware while developing Anthem, and take a trip down memory lane to talk about games that busted our hype bubbles with lackluster releases.
