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
Episode 592: Halo on PlayStation, GTA 6 Pre-Orders & WARDOGS Killcam Drama
Episode 592: Halo on PlayStation, GTA 6 Pre-Orders & WARDOGS Killcam Drama Jun 22, 2026 5683 Halo is on PlayStation. Let that sink in. On this one we get into Halo: Campaign Evolved — the full Unreal Engine 5 remake landing on PS5, Xbox and PC on July 28 — and why cutting the multiplayer to protect the "next mainline Halo" might be the dumbest part of the whole thing. Plus the AI controversy Halo Studios can't stop being squirrely about. Then it's GTA 6: pre-orders go live June 25, Nov
Episode 591: Warzone Is an Abusive Ex & Other Truths
Episode 591: Warzone Is an Abusive Ex & Other Truths Jun 15, 2026 6851 Jake's sick, Raz is recovered, and karma is real — so we kept it loose and answered your questions from the Discord this week. We get into whether Apex hitting all-time-high player counts means anything for a Warzone comeback (short version: Warzone is the abusive ex who shows up with roses), why Zelda is a children's game, the most overrated franchises in gaming, when a game stops being a game
Episode 590: This is not God of War
Episode 590: This is not God of War Jun 8, 2026 5371 It's the summer of the delay. This week Raz and Jake break down two tactical shooters moving in opposite directions — Hell Let Loose: Vietnam getting pushed back to August after a rough beta, and Wardogs pulling its early access UP (something you basically never see) — and what each move says about a studio's confidence. Then it's Summer Game Fest: the turn-based Star Wars Zero Company that's r
Episode 589: Modern Warfare 4 Looks Good — We Still Want It to Fail
Episode 589: Modern Warfare 4 Looks Good — We Still Want It to Fail Jun 1, 2026 6446 Modern Warfare 4 got revealed, 007 First Light is finally out, and the Hell Let Loose: Vietnam beta dropped — so naturally we spent an episode on the franchise we swore off, a Bond game that isn't quite Hitman, and a beta that can't hold a frame rate. We get into the HLL: Vietnam open beta (the rubber-banding, the keybinds that won't stick, the studio's track record) and whether it's worth grab
Episode 588: We Put 27 Hours Into Forza Horizon 6 (And We Have Opinions)
Episode 588: We Put 27 Hours Into Forza Horizon 6 (And We Have Opinions) May 25, 2026 6895 Forza Horizon 6 dropped in Japan and we both went deep — Raz put in 27 hours, Jake is still learning. This week we break down everything: who this game is actually for, whether you need to be a car guy to enjoy it, and whether the critics are right about the Metacritic 92. We go hard on the manual vs. automatic debate (Jake is on manual with clutch, Raz is on automatic — and Jake has opinions a
Episode 587: Stop Killing Games: The Law That Could Change Everything
Episode 587: Stop Killing Games: The Law That Could Change Everything May 18, 2026 6196 California's Stop Killing Games bill just cleared its first major hurdle — and if it becomes law, publishers won't be able to just flip the switch on your games anymore. We break down what the bill actually says, why the gaming industry is quietly panicking, and whether it'll even survive long enough to matter. Then: Subnautica 2 launched in Early Access and immediately broke Steam records for
Episode 586: The Gaming Industry Is Cooked (Sony, GTA 6, UFOs)
Episode 586: The Gaming Industry Is Cooked (Sony, GTA 6, UFOs) May 10, 2026 7644 Sony just wrote off $765 million on Bungie — and somehow that's not even the wildest thing that happened in gaming this week. We break down what PlayStation's impairment loss actually means for Marathon, whether Xbox has quietly become just a publishing label, and why the GTA 6 PC delay is a deliberate cash grab no matter what Take-Two's CEO says. Plus: Tarkov is officially going the live servi
Episode 585: GTA 6 Is Going to Break the Internet and Nobody Is Ready For It
Episode 585: GTA 6 Is Going to Break the Internet and Nobody Is Ready For It May 3, 2026 6644 The boys talk the news of the week in gaming including a substantial amount of time on the much-anticipated GTA 6. 0:00 — Intro 5:00 — Format explanation: public episodes vs. Patreon 5:58 — Grey Zone Warfare / Tarkov fail story 9:10 — Active Matter extraction shooter preview 15:44 — Black Ops 7 review bombing + AI in game assets controversy 27:59 — Windows Recall (K2) / Microsoft bloatware
