The Mash Those Buttons Show will be going on hiatus for a little while.
The Microsoft-Sony relationship is the real show, while epic losses spring from Epic's war chest.
We look at E3's Return, debate what a Last of Us remake would look like, and fret about Cyberpunk.
Sony is shutting down some online stores, Microsoft could turn Discord into a store, and Reggie leaves Gamestop stores
Microsoft says there will be exclusive Bethesda games, and is it time to defend Bobby Kotick amongst the Activision-Blizzard layoffs?
This week we bid farewell to Anthem and possibly the term "looter shooter," we look further at the CD Projekt Red hacking, and Nick is getting tired of Henry Cavill being in all the video game movies.
The Mash Those Buttons family comes together to recap the highs and lows of BlizzConline.
Lots of concerning, disappointing news items this week as CD Projekt Red was hacked, EA is deciding Anthem's fate, and some actors were cast in roles that seem less than ideal.
The Gamestop Stock price finally drops and some investor got burned, Blizzard won't be dropping any big games this year, and an Ori dev drops some fire about overpromising studios.
Katie from The Tauren & the Goblin joins to discuss Gamestop's wild week, Ninja's poor parenting answer, Activision-Blizzard's poor diversity answer, and Cyberpunk 2077 mods.
We're baffled by the news this week: MS jack up the price of XBox Live? Baffling! Vicarious Visions is absorbed into Blizzard? Baffling! Resident Evil multiplayer? Baffling! No Half-Life 3? Baffling!
CD Project Red is sorry and says they'll do better, Lucasfilm Games is doing better in sharing the Star Wars license, and fan sites need to do better in speculating on trademarks.
The PogChamp face is removed from twitch, Nintendo laughs in Microsoft's face, and Cary, NC faces a purchase of Epic proportions!
Jarret, Nick, and Kurabara talk about their favorite games of 2020. The Last of Us 2! Hades! Final Fantasy VII Remake! Cyberpunk 2077! What games got the love this year?
Jarret's been playing Cyberpunk 2077 on pc while Sony delists the game. Also, EA buys Codemasters, Riot is making an MMO, and Walmart employees make getting a PS5 harder than it already is.
Cyberpunk 2077 may have missed eligibility for the Game Awards, but they can both be together on this week's show. Also, will Psycho Mantis know Oscar Isaac's imdb?
Microfoft and Sony should work together while Bioware Vets depart, and a husband learns he should not have tried to pass off his PS5 as an air purifier.
Kurabara's got a PS5 and luckily hasn't done one of the many things to brick it. Ubisoft Montreal got swatted, Stakester is Gambling, and 007 is coming back!
The Playstation and Xbox releases did not go flawlessly, although some people vaping into their Xbox probably didn't help. Twitch is sorry and Amazon would probably consider that weak apology toxic.
Mass Effect returns. Sony is keeping the PS5 off shelves for COVID concerns. Ubisoft removed a podcaster from Watchdogs. Avengers disassembled Square Enix's revenue.
