Episode 604: WARDOGS Review Bombed: Streamers Skipped the Queue
Episode 604: WARDOGS Review Bombed: Streamers Skipped the Queue Sep 14, 2026 7929 WARDOGS launched into Early Access on Thursday, peaked at roughly 340,000 concurrent players on Steam, went straight to the #1 seller spot — and got review bombed down to Mixed at the same time. Raz has 8.5 hours in since launch. Jake has 0.0, because Tarkov currently has him in a chokehold. So this one is a split: what WARDOGS actually plays like two days in, and what the launch looked like from
Episode 603: Tarkov's Nikita Just Changed the FPS Genre Twice in One Show
Episode 603: Tarkov's Nikita Just Changed the FPS Genre Twice in One Show Sep 7, 2026 7285 The first FPS Games Show happened, and the two biggest things in it both came from the guy who's had Escape from Tarkov in beta for a decade. Nikita opened the whole showcase with Fragmentary Order — sci-fi, Unreal Engine 5, maps four to five times the size of Tarkov's, and a promise that it'll be "more complex, more punishing, more painful." Then Battlestate turned around and launched a publis
Episode 602: The MW4 Beta Broke Us — We're Done With Call of Duty
Episode 602: The MW4 Beta Broke Us — We're Done With Call of Duty Aug 31, 2026 8215 We played the Modern Warfare 4 beta this weekend — including Warzone and the new Zodiac Resurgence map — and it took about fifteen minutes to know it was over. Not "this year is mid" over. Over over. This is the episode where a podcast that ran on Call of Duty for 600+ episodes says out loud that it's done. Raz makes the case that nothing else in an FPS matters if you can't see or hear the enem
Episode 601: WARDOGS Beta vs Modern Warfare 4 Beta — We Played Both
Episode 601: WARDOGS Beta vs Modern Warfare 4 Beta — We Played Both Aug 24, 2026 6519 Two shooter betas dropped on the same weekend, so we played both and came back with very different verdicts. WARDOGS is Bulkhead's 100-player, three-team tactical shooter with a real money economy — you buy your loadout every respawn, you lose money when you die, and it turns out that changes how a match actually feels. Modern Warfare 4 finally dumps omnimovement, removes bloom from hipfire, and p
Episode 600: Modern Warfare 4 Beta vs WARDOGS — Both Land August 21
Episode 600: Modern Warfare 4 Beta vs WARDOGS — Both Land August 21 Aug 17, 2026 7917 Episode 600. On August 21st the Modern Warfare 4 early access beta, the WARDOGS closed beta, and Call of Duty NEXT all land on the same day — and the two games are asking for wildly different amounts of money. We go through everything Activision is cramming into the MW4 beta: a playable campaign mission called Entrenched, six multiplayer maps, the return of Ground War, and a brand new Warzone R
Episode 599: WARDOGS Alpha Review: Battlefield But Dying Actually Matters
Episode 599: WARDOGS Alpha Review: Battlefield But Dying Actually Matters Aug 10, 2026 8506 Imagine Battlefield, but dying matters. That's the WARDOGS closed alpha in one sentence — and after a weekend in it, we're calling it the most polished alpha we've ever played. WARDOGS is Bulkhead and Team17's 100-player tactical shooter: three factions, one randomized control zone, first side to 100 points wins. You start with $10,000, you buy your loadout from in-game vendors, and when you di
Episode 598: Saudi Arabia Bought EA — And Gamers Are Mad About a Camera
Episode 598: Saudi Arabia Bought EA — And Gamers Are Mad About a Camera Aug 3, 2026 7665 On Tuesday, Electronic Arts stops being a public company. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, Silver Lake and Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners are closing a $55 billion all-cash buyout — the largest leveraged buyout of a public company in history — and PIF walks away with 93.4% of Madden, FIFA, Apex, The Sims, Battlefield and BioWare. So we spent half the episode on what that actually means
Episode 597: WARDOGS Looks Incredible... Then They Got Banned On Twitch
Episode 597: WARDOGS Looks Incredible... Then They Got Banned On Twitch Jul 27, 2026 6332 WARDOGS ran its first ever gameplay livestream this week and it went about as well as you'd expect from a studio full of guys in their late twenties: the alpha codes were a QR-code disaster, the stream started two hours late, and it ended with a Twitch ban for throwing a sex toy across the room. And yet — the actual gameplay looked incredible. We break down everything we saw: the enormous map, the
Episode 596: MW4 Gameplay Reveal: Kill Block, Recoil Backlash & the DMZ 2 Problem
Episode 596: MW4 Gameplay Reveal: Kill Block, Recoil Backlash & the DMZ 2 Problem Jul 20, 2026 6366 Infinity Ward just had its biggest Modern Warfare 4 reveal week yet — and the community immediately found the flaws. We break down everything shown at the MW4 creator event and Fanatics Fest: the Kill Block modular map with 500+ configurations, the gunplay reveal and the instant visual recoil backlash, VFX masking, no-bloom hipfire, doors, takedowns, proximity chat, and the Aston Martin Dreadnough
Episode 595: Bethesda Layoffs, Black Flag Resynced & Tarkov Kord Breach
Episode 595: Bethesda Layoffs, Black Flag Resynced & Tarkov Kord Breach Jul 13, 2026 6756 Black Flag Resynced just became the biggest Assassin's Creed launch in history — and it's a remake of a 13-year-old game with mixed Steam reviews. The boys break down the day-one microtransaction backlash, whether the remake gold rush is good for gaming, and which classics deserve the full ground-up treatment next. Then it gets heavier: Microsoft's July layoff wave hit Bethesda and ZeniMax hard
Episode 594: The Steam Machine Is Weaker Than a PS5 (And Costs 2x)
Episode 594: The Steam Machine Is Weaker Than a PS5 (And Costs 2x) Jul 6, 2026 6400 Valve's Steam Machine reviews are in — and the verdict is brutal: by most measures it's slightly less powerful than a base PS5 while costing more than double. We break down the benchmarks, why Valve went semi-custom on the chips, and whether "access to the entire Steam library" is worth the price of admission. Before that, we go deep on Escape from Tarkov's first-ever season, Cord Breach — the new
Episode 593: GTA 6 Is $100 For a Code in a Box (And You'll Buy It)
Episode 593: GTA 6 Is $100 For a Code in a Box (And You'll Buy It) Jun 29, 2026 6039 GTA 6 pre-orders are live, the price is confirmed, and the internet is melting down — so naturally that's the whole episode. Raz and Jake break down the $80 standard / $100 Ultimate pricing, the "physical copy" that's really just a download code in a box with no disc, and whether you're actually losing anything (spoiler: lending to your buddies, and not much else). Then it's the free-market case f
