Hey what's up and welcome! This release marks a big change in the podcast going forward, I wanted to take more time writing and editing in an effort to make this whole experience more interesting for you, the listener! Immortals Fenyx Rising was an incredible surprise for me, coming out of nowhere to be one of the best games of 2020, the team at Ubisoft Quebec has done some incredible work of perfecting the Ubisoft formula of game design and they deserve all the credit in the world for their accomplishment here.
Hey What's up and welcome to game positive!
Thank you all so much for your continued support of the show, even though releases have been sporadic and it may have seemed like I have neglected the pod.
I'm excited to announce that I had actually been brainstorming ways to improve the podcast and offer more then just me chatting about what I'm playing and old news you likely have already heard of, Instead I will be creating more original content that has a lot more depth. The details are talked about in the trailer but this means you will be getting an experience that has significantly more planning and scripting, significantly more edited and hopefully is a significantly better listening experience.
I'm not sure how this is going to end up, but I'm excited to find out... and I would be even more excited if you came along with me!
Remember to have fun, and thank you so much for tuning in!

In this Episode I am joined by Ben from the Play Along Podcast! we discuss his history with games growing up in the United Kingdom and reflect on the key moments, and games, that changed what was a fun family activity into his passion and eventually became a large part of his Identity!
It was a blast to get to chat with someone across the pod and find out how our gaming lives differ but even more interestingly how they were exactly the same!
I put a lot of work into this from planning, and editing (those transitions took me a surprising amount of work), so I would LOVE any and all feedback you may have! Either in a review form on Apple Podcast, Comments below if you are watching on YouTube or just reach out to me on twitter @gamepositiveYT!
thanks again for listening, and remember to have fun out there!

With many big showcases right around the corner I was fortunate enough to be joined by Nave from the Gaming together podcast and Dylan from the Offshore Gamescast to give predictions on what we expect and hope to see in the upcoming shows! The format is a bit different then normal though thanks to conflicting schedules so instead of a panel it will be two separate conversations.
Each person will give a "guarantee to be there" prediction, a "50/50" prediction, a "not technically impossible" prediction and finally a wish upon a star. I think this lead to some interesting conversations! Hope you all enjoy.

A massive gut punch was delivered to XBOX fans across the world with the announcement of the delay of Starfield and Redfall out of 2022 and into 2023. While this obviously is disappointing news, as both of these games are highly anticipated by fans, its also not the end of the world. In this episode I take some time to closely evaluate the status of XBOX and why a lot of the questions being raised about it are somewhat unfounded. Hopefully this will ease some of your concerns and help bring the bigger picture back into focus, that XBOX, and its leadership, are righting the ship.

For the written version of this review checkout www.seasonedgaming.com, special thanks to Ubisoft for providing a review copy for this review!
After originating as an extremely popular event within Siege called ‘Outbreak’, where players took a break from killing each other to team up and fend off swarms of infected, Rainbow Six: Extraction positions itself as a stand alone experience aiming to greatly expand on what Outbreak offered, as well as better aligning itself with the core pillars of Siege. It is safe to say that Ubisoft has a lot to prove here with Extraction, so let’s dive in and see if they were able to deliver.
It has been a few months since I have uploaded after taking a break after welcoming daughter number two into my raid team and it feels great to finally be back!
a lot has changed in the last few months for me as a content creator, with some really awesome and unexpected opportunities thrown my way, so I wanted to take a few minutes to catch you all up to speed!
