Cody makes his triumphant return! Catching up, he's been loving the Castlevania series on Netflix (even though it sometimes puts people to sleep). We've both been playing some Assassin's Creed Odyssey and compare our romantic endeavors. Sam's been trying Alienation and New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe (and falling in love with baby Yoshi). Cody's been back in the MMORPG Tera and has started a new game+ for God of War.

We attempt to resolve a bet regarding video game pricing and journey into Cody's Conspiracy Corner to discuss the Bungie/Activision split.

We've got some catching up to do after last week, so we've got a lot of games we've been playing to talk about including: Onrush, Cluster Truck, Notmycar Beta, Devil May Cry 1, 3, 4 & 5 beta, Quarantine Circular & Dragalia Lost. We've got a "quick" Destiny Download. (Starts about 1:00:00 and ends 1:17:12).

In the news, Epic Games is making their cross-platform toolkit available to all developers for FREE! And they've launched their new Epic Games Store, a place to buy PC/mac games. They will take a much smaller cut from developers than Steam does! Then Discord announced that their game store will take even less from developers! So it's a good time to be an indie game developer!

In our feature, we discuss which games we're most excited for in 2019 (or possibly coming in 2019...or we just hope might come in 2019). We list our top 6 as well as some listener choices. Games include Anthem (big surprise, right?), New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, Devil May Cry 5, Trials Rising, The Division 2, Ghosts of Tsushima, The Last of Us 2, Titanfall 3 (it's REAAALLLY wishful thinking), the new Core Pokemon game, Resident Evil 2, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, Town, Kingdom Hearts 3, Psychonauts 2, Phoenix Wright, RPG Maker MV, Digimon Survive, and Diablo Immortal.

We've been playing Spyro Remastered, Race the Sun, Call of Duty Black Ops 4 and Realm Royale! We haven't gotten enough time in Red Dead Online yet, but we know you have to make a rough looking character....

In other news, Warcraft is getting a mobile game similar to Pokemon Go; the Nintendo Creators program is ending so now creators can monetize their videos; and Cody goes in depth on the situation that is Fallout 76.

We round things out with our predictions for some of the Game Awards winners! Tune in next week to see who got the most correct!

Pokemon Let's Go has arrived and we have a lot to talk about! The cuteness of catching adorable creatures is balanced out with the brutality of WWII as we also do a deep dive into Battlefield V. Other games we talk about include Diablo 3 (because Cody can't wait for Path of Exile) and Smite. And Sam got a bad ending in Serafina's Crown (from Woodsy Studios who also did Miraclr and Echoes of the Fey). We also recap our Black Friday buys.

And that's about it. For real, we talked A LOT about Pokemon and Battlefield V.

This week, we talk Black Friday Deals and what we're thankful for in video games. Sam gives an update on Google's Project Stream Beta (turns out internet isn't super reliable). Cody has finished his Red Dead Redemption 2 journey and Sam has finished her Tetris Effect journey. We also talk Lineage 2: Revolution; Skate 3 and the Black Desert Beta.

The best X018 news is that Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is coming to Game Pass - so go play that because it's one of our all time favorite games! In other news, Sony pulls out of E3, the Detective Pikachu trailer is winning everyone over and....no, I think that's all the news this week.

Sam also completed her first Raid in Destiny! And she's super excited that this month's PS Plus games includes Roundabout!! Go download that diamond in the rough!
