Episode 506: Ghostwire: Tokyo 1:07:57

2+ y ago1:07:57

1:07:57

For this week's episode, Will discusses a game that kind of came out of nowhere for us in Ghostwire: Tokyo. He describes it as an open world, supernatural action adventure game with some horror elements. It checks a lot of boxes certainly, but what is it?

1:35:50

Dan and Corey, (and later Will) sit down to talk about what everyone is calling FromSoftware's Magnum Opus in Elden Ring. What do veterans of the Soulsborne series think of the newest, open world entry?

3y ago53:55

53:55

It's been a hot minute since Dan or Corey have sunk any time into a Halo game, especially multiplayer...yet here we are. The surprise release of the Halo Infinite Multiplayer has the TSA Pod taking up arms against their fellow gaming community and sticking noobs with plasma grenades. Later on in the episode Dan talks a little about the Animal Cross…

Episode 498: Metroid Dread 1:11:57

3y ago1:11:57

1:11:57

So yeah, the Metroid series is one that we collectively as a podcast don't have a ton of experience with. Will played the Metroid Prime games many years ago, but that pretty much sums up our experiences with it. So it was a good opportunity to play a metroidvania style game, coming from the OG devs! For Nibblebits we talk about the Animal Crossing …

Episode 497: New World 50:41

3y ago50:41

50:41

Our topic for this week is the first (successful) game from Amazon Game Studios New World...and is the $40, no subscription fee MMORPG set in a fantasy style Age of Exploration type world worth it?

Episode 494: E3 is Back! 1:32:50

3+ y ago1:32:50

1:32:50

Just as E3 rises from the ashes like a Phoenix so too does the TSA Podcast! Though I guess ashes is too strong a word, more mismatched schedules and a general lack of time for us.....E3 has, however, risen from the ashes. We cover the Ubisoft Forward event, since that's one of the few conferences that took place already, along with discussing some …

1:44:05

We review the excellent addition onto the Super Mario 3D World, Bowser's Fury for this week's episode. Spoilers...its pretty darn good and we hope they make a full Mario game in the same vein.

1
Episode 489: Microsoft Buys Bethesda 1:18:12

3+ y ago1:18:12

1:18:12

I don't believe we talked too much about it when it first happened, so now that it's official we took the opportunity to talk about what it will mean for both companies and the studios involved. Later on in the episode Will talks more about Days Gone and Dan played Fortnite Season 6.

Episode 488: The Best Pre-Built Gaming PCs 51:27

3+ y ago51:27

51:27

While I had a pretty good main segment planned for this week's episode, it was derailed before it even started. Graphics cards are so hard to buy right now that even pre-built gaming PC's are out of stock. So most of the main segment this week was talking about the gpu shortage!

Episode 487: Pokemon Presentation and PlayStation State of Play 1:20:41

3+ y ago1:20:41

1:20:41

For this week we cover a few digital events that most gamers seem to not be too jazzed about. Though Pokemon stuff is usually a hit, many were disappointed in the nature of the Pokemon Diamond and Pearl remakes. The event was saved, however, by the announcement of Pokemon Legends: Arceus which appears to be a Breath of the Wild-esque Pokemon game. …

Episode 486: Project Triangle Strategy Demo 59:21

3+ y ago59:21

59:21

During Nintendo's February 2021 Direct, a new game was announced that's very near and dear to the TSA Pod...and that game was Project Traingle Strategy. Slated for release in 2022, PTS is a Final Fantasy Tactics-esque Strategy RPG with graphics very similar to Octopath Traveler. Even better than the game announcement itself is the fact that they re…

Episode 485: Catching Up 1:23:16

3+ y ago1:23:16

1:23:16

Since we missed another episode last week we decided to spend an episode on catching up on the games we've played. Will updates us on his 4 in February progress, talking about The Witcher 3 and Days Gone and Dan sunk a significant amount of time into the 1.5 update for Stardew Valley. We also set a new recording night at the end of the episode so w…

1:48:32

GameStop was finally in the news again over the past week or so, and for a good reason for once! Dan and Will breakdown (at least in layman's terms) what happened with the GameStop stock, and the importance of what it means. Later on in the episode we cover some crazy Nintendo news, Will played Hitman 3 and Dan is getting a new phone.…

Episode 483: 2021 Gaming Predictions 1:04:35

4y ago1:04:35

1:04:35

Another new year staple in the TSA Pod arsenal...our yearly predictions episode! We sometimes make this a "bold predictions" episode, but really coming from 2020 into 2021....its hard to read. We also report that Ubisoft is going to be making an open world Star Wars and we talk during "What We Played" about Final Fantasy 15 and Hollow Knight.…

1
Episode 482: 2021 Games Preview 1:33:39

4y ago1:33:39

1:33:39

It's a pretty meager selection of new games for the start of 2021....a few Nintendo releases in Super Mario 3D World DX and Bravely Default 2 for February. Later on in the episode we discuss some more Cyberpunk 2077, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, and have a somewhat spoilery discussion about The Last of Us 2. Not to worry, we do give a warning!…

1
Episode 480: Cyberpunk 2077 First Impressions 1:06:24

4y ago1:06:24

1:06:24

Since Cyberpunk is such a huge game, we figured we would be doing the game an injustice by reviewing it so shortly after release. Especially since Dan played the most at only about 15 hours, Will at about an hour, and Corey not having played any yet. So expect a more thorough discussion further in the future and maybe as soon as next week even. Dur…

Episode 479: Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity 1:09:50

4y ago1:09:50

1:09:50

We finally get to experience the events that lead to the masterpiece that is Breath of the Wild in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. It was most definitely an unexpected surprise announcement to come out of this year in gaming...with nobody anywhere either predicting a game like it would exist, or having any sort of leaks before the actual announce…

1
Episode 478: Assassin's Creed Valhalla 1:14:45

4y ago1:14:45

1:14:45

With Assassin's Creed Odyssey being one of our podcast's favorite games, Valhalla had some pretty big shoes to fill. So we felt the need to compare and contrast pretty heavily between the two. Later on in the episode Dan and Will give their early impressions of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.

Episode 477: Xbox Series X 1:08:25

4y ago1:08:25

Corey and Will relate their first few days with the new Xbox Series X, and we discuss the form factor, the UI, and the performance along with whether or not it was worth an upgrade.

The first episode on our current recording schedule of Sunday morning....Dan and Will cover the best titles released on the PS4 in it's lifetime now that most of the heavy hitters have come out.

Episode 471: 2020 Fall Games Preview 1:09:44

Quality over quantity would definitely describe this year's fall games lineup...with not too many games coming out. The ones that are though...heavy hitters like Cyberpunk 2077, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Watch Dogs Legion and the surprise of the day, Super Mario 3D All Stars! We also cover a few of the other things announced during today's surpris…

Episode 470: Gamescom Opening Night Live Recap 1:31:10

With E3 cancelled this year in favor of smaller and more piecemeal gaming announcements, it's nice to have Gamescom to look forward to! Geoff Keighley again this year hosted an event called "Gamescom Opening Night Live" where he made some new game reveals, had developers announce updates to current games, and gave us a little bit of the E3 hype we'…

Episode 469: Fall Guys 1:30:44

4y ago1:30:44

1:30:44

In light of the crazy attention Fall Guys has been getting lately, we figured it would be a good time to dive into what makes it so interesting. In addition to just talking about our thoughts for Fall Guys, we also offer up some tips on how to run the gauntlet and earn your first crown...so you don't end up like TimTheTatman and the be target of th…

Will up and decided to buy everything for a brand spanking new gaming rig earlier in the week so we took it as an opportunity to talk about the selection process and had a discussion on the different parts involved in a gaming PC.

We finally get to Ghost of Tsushima this week, with Corey, Will and Tito all having played it at various lengths. And apologies for the spotty audio at the beginning...we've been having internet hiccups lately which disrupted some of the beginning of this episode. Not to worry though, after a few minutes it clears right up. Anyway, Ghost of Tsushim…
