April 30, 2023 20:56 - 2 hours - 164 MBThe title is a little misleading... we won't be talking about fart jokes the WHOLE time.

GameHounds 671: Is the fall of Square Enix?
March 27, 2023 04:39 - 2 hours - 161 MBIf you didn't know any better, you might think there's trouble at Square Enix. In one week they close.... uh, make that "absorb"... the Forspoken studio and boot their CEO. Strange things are afoot at the Circle S.

March 27, 2023 04:35 - 2 hours - 156 MBThis week, do you say "It's a live service game" without saying "live service"? Well Rocksteady Games showed us how, and the gaming world HATES it. Microsoft attempts to blunt the whole "CoD monopoly" holding up their Activision buyout in the most cynical way possible. And E3 is not dead; it just smells that way.

March 27, 2023 04:23 - 2 hours - 128 MBThe epic saga of Wizards of the Coast's complete bumbling of their brand was like an epic screenplay, with the little guy winning. But is this win really the end of the battle? No. Absolutely not.

March 27, 2023 04:17 - 2 hours - 141 MBNearly every day last week we've had new developments in the DND OGL firestorm.

GameHounds 666: OpenD&D Goes on Warpath!
March 27, 2023 04:12 - 3 hours - 169 MBLots of news: First and foremost, Wizards of the Coast learned very quickly that games can be made (and broken) by consumers, Chinese government will soon have a controlling interest in many game studios, and Skull & Bones once again fails to make it's scheduled landing, leaving us to wonder if this boat will ever get to shore.

Yes, there's more than Activision in the news, but when there's a shitshow, lean in.
GameHounds 660: Jesus Tweets and Mario Middle Fingers
November 20, 2022 04:39 - 2 hours - 108 MBIt's been a really, REALLY weird week. Elon Musk loses his mind, launches a new Twitter service, and it (predictably) goes off the freakin' rails. Then we find out this Control title is not a spin-off but a sequel. Then Ubisoft says Prince of Persia isn't cancelled, but they refund all the preorders. We're livin' in CRAZY TOWN!
GameHounds 659: April Showers Bring Diablo IV Flowers?

November 13, 2022 00:14 - 2 hours - 49.1 MBYes, V Rising is free to play this weekend and we have another chapter in the Bayonetta 3 Shitshow... do we need a new banner? Also, Games with Gold and PSPlus free games for November, and Modern Warfare 2 proves why disks are dead.

GameHounds LIVE 655: Stadia Dies and Scr**ws Over Devs
November 12, 2022 22:04 - 2 hours - 52.7 MBIt's one thing to shut down your service; it's a whole other to say it's not shutting down, signing contracts with developers, and then shutting it down and not letting people working for you know until they read it in the news. That's just evil. On the plus side, one of the more evil people in games just lost her job. Sayonara, a&*hole. And Twitch launches a new feature that is THE STUPIDEST THING EVER!!!

August 06, 2022 01:18 - 2 hours - 183 MBWe're back! Yes, it's been a couple weeks off, but that means we have sooooo much to talk about. Faceboo... uh, Meta loses and IMMENSE amount of money on its effort to make VR relevant, Crusader Kings isn't the only game to allow incest anymore, and an ignominious death to Anthem.

April 16, 2022 21:27 - 1 hour - 122 MBIf you ever needed any proof that NFTs and gaming don't mix, Ubisoft just proved the point as it pulls future updates for Breakpoint. And Unreal Engine 5 scores another big title.
