In this episode we are going to discuss the newly released titles of Gears 5 and Borderlands 3 and how they have stuck by the “if it is not broke don’t fix it” mentality.  We will also talk about two games that have been out for a while but we have just recently been playing. Finally, we will wrap up the episode talking about the fantastic news of the Super Nintendo addition that was added to the Nintendo Switch Online Catalog!     Show Notes Gears 5 Picks up right where Gears 4 left off  Make senses but it is the best looking Gears game to date Every part of the game has been finessed Hits your right in the feels - right from the get-go The new addition to have someone play the support class is nice and provides a brand new way for co-op to be played The story keeps you engaged throughout when some things happened that will leave you shaken story impact wise They definitely are “gearing” up for a 6  Borderland 3 Mayhem has begun! Can say right off the bat that anyone looking for something “new” “game-defining” will be disappointed BUT anyone looking for more Borderlands games played that has been even more refined will be in for the best Borderlands game to date. The loot is never-ending, a lot of QOL added…..though some could still be needed but are minor Probably the most I have been engaged to the story of any of the main Borderlands games The dynamic level scaling for co-op is amazing and allows the co-op to be even better as you don’t have to worry about out leveling a friend On the co-op note the unique loot mode “Cooperative” is what Borderlands has needed for a while Elder Scrolls Online The Positives ESO is a typical MMORPG and tries to give you that experience as best it can This, however, is not a free-roaming exploration zone-based progression game like Skyrim was and struggles a bit in piecing its story together LORE - the game is deeply rooted in the world of storytelling and finding out about the world of Tamriel is fun!  The game systems, unfortunately, don’t compliment the story enough for me to stay engaged. The buggy, broken systems take away from the experience. The game has a guided epic story with over 100 hours of main story content to play through.  That’s a lot of story to get through but if you are willing to hang on and grind through the content, I think the story delivers a very nice experience! I think the world quests as a whole do a decent job of capturing the Elder Scrolls experience, as well as the MMO experience.  This is all paired and made more bearable because of the epic soundtrack! CRAFTINGOne of my favorite aspects of the MMO genre and ESO does a brilliant job on it’s crafting system! It does have its downsides as the resources needed for crafting, does require a large “Bag, Vault, and Storage Space” but is manageable  Even though they do a good job overall, this system still has a lot of features that needed to be better to enjoy it! Let’s talk big adventure and big story for a moment The Negatives A search bar for ingredients or materials when inside a vault or storage area There is absolutely no way to sell your resources except through “Hocking” items in world chat, or at a “Guild” store Syncing with other players and timing of events such as helping other players out in quests seems to be a challenge most of the time. The multi-player gameplay is “Lazy” feeling as once you do get synced up it doesn’t seem to be much of a challenge to defeat enemies.  Overall the game was too disconnected for me to really enjoy overall, even though I love MMO’s and I love the grind this one wasn’t for me The game overall has some of the most annoying buggy systems I’ve ever seen Finding a guild isn’t the easiest process by any means GOLD SPAMMERS, they exist in every MMO and it will always be a negative impact on someone's experience The game, in general, looks pretty terrible! Between the drab world landscapes, and details it makes for a pretty lackluster experience.   The combat mechanics are very --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/allthingsgeekery/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/allthingsgeekery/support

In this episode, we are first going to talk about the very recent re-release of Wow Classic and how it has reunited the Warcraft community. We will then discuss the resurgence of players that have returned back to a blocky game we've all loved and played. Next, we will talk about the released information that hit about Destiny 2’s new “battle pass” type system which will be coming with Shadowkeep. Finally, we are going to talk about the most recent trailer for Star Wars episode 9 and also the deep dive video for Cyberpunk 2077. Click to Listen: S314 – A Cyberpunked Classical Show Notes WoW Classic -  The re-release of the game that has dominated the MMO landscape for almost 15 years Everyone has been able to Experience what happened when Wow first released. This time the setting is different - We now have instant updates on people’s progress, superior communication(Discord), and gaming communities that didn't exist 15 years ago(Twitch. Mixer, Facebook...etc) Brand new ways of playing are being done just due to support from communities made possible by modern entertainment avenues(Example - Streamer loot) It will be interesting to see how the drop of goes but even with that said we are about to get Battlegrounds added - Blizzard is having an update schedule similar to what took place or original WoW release Minecraft -  A resurgence in Minecraft has taken ahold - why is this? People like us have stopped playing long ago as many updates have taken place completely changing some aspect of Minecraft Also, Shaders and Texture packs almost make it like a completely different game Some Fornite streamers have actually gained popularity because of Minecraft  It is a game of Endless play and Endless Customization  Bring in friends and the fun goes up exponentially  Destiny 2 Battle Pass (Season Pass) Destiny franchise director Luke Smith, Bungie revealed how seasons will work in Destiny 2’s third year; including Shadowkeep and New Light this fall. Each season has a free or paid version (“10 bucks” each, according to Smith), similar to battle passes in games like Fortnite or Dauntless. The first season of Year 3, Season of the Undying, comes bundled with Shadowkeep (players can purchase it separately as well). ROTATING ACTIVITIES The new season will focus on changing Destiny 2’s world every three months. In Season of the Undying, players will open a Vex gate, creating a new activity and rewards. Three months later, players will close the gate, end the activities, and set Season of the Dawn in motion. Including Season of the Undying and Season of Dawn, Year 3 will contain four seasons. Bungie believes that removing activities each season is the only way to make the game feel like it’s evolving. “We believe that Destiny will grow even better when the world state can change and that the best Destiny stories are the ones where ‘you had to be their when…,’” Smith said. But weapons and rewards for the seasons won’t be gone forever. While Smith didn’t elaborate on how players should expect weapons they’ve missed to return within about six months. However, Smith was clear that there will be periods where players have no current means of acquiring some past items. ARTIFACTS On top of seasons rotating activities, the new seasonal Artifact will create individual player growth each season. Artifacts are free for all players, and Guardians can level them up during the season. Each level comes with uncapped bonus power that extends across a player’s account. Players will also unlock new and powerful mods through the Artifact. After they unlock a mod, Guardians can slot them into weapons and armor for the remainder of the season. The goal is for the mods to change the way players interact with the world and create unique effects against everyday enemies and bosses. At the end of each season, the seasonal mods and bonus power will reset. Players will earn a new Artifact for the next season, and start the process over again.

In this episode: We are going to discuss the top genres of the cinematic universe that have shaped our lives from childhood through adulthood.  We will start off discussing the wonders and magic of the Sword and Sorcery genre. Moving into the folklores and myths we will talk about the Fantasy genre. Finally. We will wrap up the episode by discussing lasers, space travel, and aliens as part of the Sci-Fi genre.  Show Notes Sword and Sorcery Genre  Definition: Sword and sorcery is a subgenre of fantasy characterized by sword-wielding heroes engaged in exciting and violent adventures. An element of romance is often present, as is an element of magic and the supernatural   Top 3 Films Detached Krull Is a fantasy swashbuckler which follows a journey of Prince Colwyn and his group of outlaws on the planet Krull to save future queen Princess Lyssa from the Beast and his constantly teleporting Black Fortress. The Dragonslayer Is a medieval fantasy set in a fictional kingdom that follows a young wizard who experiences danger and opposition as he attempts to defeat a dragon  Conan the Barbarian / Conan the Destroyer Is based on stories by Robert E. Howard, a writer of the 1930s, about the adventures of Conan in the fictional world of Hyboria Victus Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time The film has the same title as the video game and is primarily based on it. Elements from Warrior Within and The Two Thrones, the two other titles from the Sands of Time trilogy of the Prince of Persia video game franchise, are also incorporated.  Clash of the Titans Perseus - Son of Zeus Warcraft (The film portrays the initial encounters between the humans and the orcs and takes place in a variety of locations established in the video game series) Draenor, the homeworld of the orcs, is being torn apart by a mysterious force known as fel magic. Gul'dan, a powerful orc warlock, unites the orc clans and forms the Horde, and creates a portal to the world of Azeroth.    Top Honorable Mentions The Beastmaster  the film is about a child who is stolen from his mother's womb by a witch. The child grows into Dar, who has the ability to communicate telepathically with animals.

Its roots are in oral traditions, which then became literature and drama. From the twentieth century, it has expanded further into various media, including film, television, graphic novels, manga, and video games. Fantasy is distinguished from the genres of science fiction and horror by the absence of scientific or macabre themes, though these genres overlap. In popular culture, the fantasy genre predominantly features settings of a medieval nature. In its broadest sense, however, fantasy consists of works by many writers, artists, filmmakers, and musicians from ancient myths and legends to many recent and popular works.    Top 3 Films Detached The Princess Bride Is a fantasy adventure comedy film, adapted by William Goldman from his 1973 novel The Princess Bride, it tells the story of a farmhand named Westley, accompanied by companions befriended along the way, who must rescue his true love Princess Buttercup from the odious Prince Humperdinck.

In this episode: We cover the recent resurgence of players in the Destiny community, how the state of Destiny is keeping those players engaged, and finishing with the top things we are looking forward to when Shadowkeep hits in September Show Notes Resurgence -  Since the release of Forsaken we have seen a steady decline in the want to play the game - a slight bump in players as new content was released but still a decline But then 3 things took place that combined has revitalized the community to new levels. 1.) Bungie split from Activision This was a huge want from the community to finally split from the “greedy corporates” at Activision Bungie is now free to build a game the way they want to This does not mean Eververse will go away as to keep producing “free” content you need some way to keep the lights on 2.) All new items and content announced for Shadowkeep New Light Some people may say that Free-to-play is a  sign of a game failing but the way that Bungie is implementing is more like a demo but people will still be able to play multiplayer with friends Cross-Save Every multi-platform game to date has wanted this.  We all have friends on different platforms and want to play with them without having to start over.  Cross-save fixes this and will be a continued plus for new players coming into Destiny.   This also pairs REALLY well with Destiny 2 on Stadia too as we now have an on the go version of the game that we can just continue playing our characters Transmogrification sorta - AKA Armour 2.0 Just yes - we finally get to wear the gear we want and slot the stats we want Moon’s Haunted - Story We are going back to the Moon! Looks like we may go up against some ghosts of the past 3.) Season of Opulence The biggest item that has hit with this season has been the Menagerie.  A multi-boss raid-lite that has built-in matchmaking Along with this, and with benefit from a bug, this event has been a go-to grind because of the loot rewards and the ability to craft the weapons how you want it giving the player just the right amount of control. State of the Game People are loving the grind for all things PVE PVP is not in a horrible spot but still is rough There is so much to do if you have not been keeping up and so much content to go through but almost all of it is really good and worth the work So much lore to work through and very engaging storylines to keep up with  -Personal Experience- Tops items we are looking forward to - ERIS MORN!!!! & Cross-Save Be sure to subscribe to the All Things Geekery Podcast with any of your favorite podcast apps.

In this episode, we are going to cover the news about Microsoft and Sony recent team up and what this could mean for the future of the Console Wars. We will then discuss what our opinions are on the current status of Epic’s game launcher and the hate it receives. Lastly, we will wrap up this episode talking about some of the recent games we have been playing and what about each has kept us playing them. Show Notes   Microsoft and Sony   It was announced in the previous week that Sony and Microsoft are working on AI and cloud technology This move makes no sense due to the continue gaming war the two companies have been in. ...then again it is possible Sony and Microsoft are wising up to what Google is planning to bring to the table. When it comes to AI and cloud platforms Sony does not have either so it had to choose between the big 3 - Largest Amazon, Establish Microsoft, or the Youngin Google. It went with its mortal enemy This move also took the PlayStation team by surprise but according to their leadership this has not changed any plans about their future console We could be looking at the beginning of the end for console gaming. We could be coming to a time when if you do want low latency input for competitive gaming then you buy a PC type device….if not you sign up for one of the game streaming services that will be available. Microsoft console announcement could have some of the “cloud gaming attributes” as part of the architecture. - We shall see at E3 Side - note our next podcast will be an E3 pre-show where we will be talking about our expectation and wants to happen at this year's E3  Epic  Let’s set the scene - Stream has had a monopoly on the digital gaming distribution market and launcher since it’s launch in 2003. For a while it was the only one launcher to rule them all - Steam had a monopoly when it came to a game launcher platform Some popped up but those were only for their own launchers - Blizzard, Origin, Bethesda Then Epic came along and decided to put their massive cash flow from Fortnite to use - Making a universal game launcher to compete with steam Right out of the gate - it was a much better alternative for game developers as Epic would only take 12% compared to the current Steam rate of 30% Some companies immediately started deployment of their game on Epic and Steam but at the same time Epic was immediately paying companies money to gain exclusive or limited exclusive rights And this is where the controversy takes place The hate against EPIC has been extreme…. Main points of “HATE” that Epic takes “Unfair” Exclusives The store has less function than Steam Rumor of the “Less secure - security” platform People have been used to the convenient monopoly the Stream produced -Discussion-   What Have We Been Playing Victus Metro Exodus Rage 2 Detached Division 2 Be sure to subscribe to the All Things Geekery Podcast with any of your favorite podcast apps.

Although the total run time is 3 hours, every minute was enjoyable and filled action and or interesting story The movie is one of the best fan service movie created and that is not a bad thing Lets talks scenes - SPOILERS Before the Time Gap Majority of the community was correct in that Endgame started right up where Infinity War stopped We finally see why Hawkeye goes so far off the deep end - his ENTIRE family was dusted - that would break any man How did Captain Marvel know to pick up Tony and Nebula? Did she go to Earth first and then head out? Really impressed with how frail they made Tony look - Was not expecting Tony to be as beaten mentally as he was when they rescued him The infinity stones were still usable??.....Until Thanos snapped them away... Wow - they kill Thanos off in the first 30 mins The Avengers were truly defeated After Time Gap (Before Heist) Each Avenger is coping in their own way - Almost every Avenger is broken - More so than others Natasha is so desperate to get my to normalcy - She is now the leader of the remaining Avengers trying to get order in the world Odd note here is you would think the world would be in worse shape than what it is in - but you know plot reasons Pan to Scott’s van, which is now in the storage facility and we get to see the real hero of the movie - Splinter aka the random rat Fortunately, Cassie was not dusted as that would have broken Scott and thus ended the story - but again plot reasons Tony’s Family is probably wanna of the best and most heartfelt moments in the movie - It showed the full growth that Tony’s character has gone through since Iron Man 1 Fan service #3453 - Professor hulk - A brand new person that had both the memories of Hulk and Banner but acted more on the civilized Banner side Thor “Big Lebowski” Odinson - Seeing the once mightiest Avenger reduced to self-pity and carelessness really brought home how much weight each of the Avengers put on themselves for not stopping Thanos - Thor more than anyone because he had the chance to stop Thanos and didn’t Ronin/Hawkeye has gone off the deep end - He has become a no hold vigilante  After Time Gap (The Time Heist) Space, Time, and Mind - Cap, Banner/Hulk, Antman, Ironman Right to the battle of New York and getting to see “America’s @$$” Cap works for HYDRA?!?!?  JK but great call out to the Secret Empire comic Loki stole the Space Stone?!?! - Well there goes that timeline 1970 - Plan B - Tony and dad meet The Sorcerer Supreme is in the movie! Power and Soul - War Machine, Nebula, Black Widow, and Hawkeye Nebula is part of a network? Well dang now past Thanos knows of his future success and also Avengers attempt We knew a sacrifice was going to be made and it was only perfect that Black Widow and Hawkeye went - from a story standpoint Black Widow dying made the most sense Reality Stone - Thor and Rocket They are going to extract it with a needle?!?! Renna Russo AKA Frigga had the most lines in all of MCU This is hopefully causing Thor to eat more salads They used old footage of Natalie Portman Infinity stones back together and Snap everyone is back just like that - kinda forgot it included birds too The Final Past Thanos comes to the future and immediately bombs the Avengers Thor with Mjolnir and Stormbreaker???!!!??? CAPTAIN AMERICA CAN WIELD MJOLNIR!!!!! CAPTAIN SHIELD CAN BREAK?!? How can 3 take on a world-conquering army?? “On your lef --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/allthingsgeekery/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/allthingsgeekery/support

Welcome to Season 3 Episode 7 of the All Things Geekery Podcast – Bad Dad Jokes & Star Wars In this episode, we are going to do something fun tonight. Throughout our podcast, we are going to throw out some Bad Dad Jokes. So those of you that appreciate a “bad” joke, these are for you.  Regarding topics, we will discuss what could be time period of the next Assassin's Creed Game. We will also delve into some troubling news from Bioware and how it might affect the next Dragon Age game. We will wrap up the episode talking about Avengers Endgame, The next Star Wars game Jedi Fallen Order, and our thoughts on Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker. Show Notes Assassin’s Creed Vikings Teaser An unusual teaser in Ubisoft’s The Division 2, highlighted weeks after the game’s release, reveals that the next Assassin’s Creed game is all about Vikings The teaser located within the Potomac Event Center.  There are numerous posters all over this event center, picturing what appears to be a Norse god or traveler adorned with the word Valhalla.   What’s particularly interesting is that said traveler is holding what appears to be the Apple of Eden, a pivotal piece of technology in Assassin’s Creed lore. Dragon Age 4 The upcoming fourth entry into BioWare’s Dragon Age series was reportedly rebooted in 2017 and is allegedly influenced by a canceled Dragon Age project the studio had potentially been working on since 2015. reports that the current version of Dragon Age 4 began development under the codename Morrison while the canceled project was known by the codename Joplin. Morrison is reportedly being made on Anthem’s tools and codebase and is planned to have a “live service component” designed to sustain long-term gameplay and revenue. The current project is reportedly being made in BioWare’s primary Edmonton offices. Some BioWare developers allegedly said it’s possible a Dragon Age game built on Anthem’s codebase could have an offline structure. However, it appears the game will likely be online-only, but could largely still be experienced by a single player. One individual close to the Morrison project says its main story will be designed as a single-player experience, and multiplayer elements would ideally keep players engaged for post-launch content. If the report is accurate, project Morrison is Dragon Age 4: The Dread Wolf Rises. Dragon Age 4 was teased at The Game Awards 2018, accompanied by a BioWare blog post. Nearly a year before Dragon Age 4 was teased, BioWare’s Casey Hudson said the next Dragon Age game would be a live game, explaining "I think you’ll be relieved to see what the team is working on. Story & character focused. Too early to talk details, but when we talk about ‘live' it just means designing a game for continued storytelling after the main story." Who Will Die In Avengers End Game Avengers End Game releases April 26th Who’s most likely to die in End Game The community is heavily leaning towards Captain America for sure dying Iron Man is in a close second Who all do we think will die? Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Announced in an episode of The Star Wars Show, an exclusive first look of Fallen Order will debut during a special panel on Saturday, April 13.
