It's ALMOST our 50th episode! Be sure to send in your questions! This week, we go CRAZY about how much we love Apex Legends, the new free to play Battle Royale from Respawn that no one wanted, but everyone loves! Also, Sam's been playing Firewatch and we debut the newly retitled "Elder Scrolls Essentials". In a realty tv-ish turn of events, the latest Epic Games store free game, Axiom Verge was crashing because it was missing a "steam" file.

This week, Sam has the sense of humor of a 10 year old as Cody describes the villain "Molag Bal" from Elder Scrolls Online. She also laughs about enemies pooping out explosives in The Adventure Pals (thanks to the Handsome Phantom podcast and Massive Monster games for giving away the code!) And a little bit of Crackdown has her excited for the upcoming Crackdown 3.

Destiny Download returns with some controversy over the Last Wish exotic quest. In Anthem news, we catch up on the different Javelins we got to play as and how we hope the open demo is smoother than last weekend. ALSO DON'T KILL GRABBITS YOU MONSTERS! In the news, we discuss what it means for Metro Exodus's last minute removal from Steam to go exclusive on the Epic Game Store. There also might be some surprise Breaking News, but you'll have to listen to find out!

In this week's extra special Anthem Arrival Advisory, we talk about the "VIP Demo" Weekend - the good, the bad...but not the ugly because this game is gorgeous. In other games we've been playing, FutureGrind is the greatest, Elder Scrolls Online is having some amazing storylines and Resident Evil 2 is very Resident Evil-y. We finally catch up on the EA canceled Star Wars game news, and round things out with highlights from our PSN Year in Reviews.

This week, Cody tried out the Resident Evil 2 demo and returns to Elder Scrolls Online. Sam finished Valiant Hearts and Amplitude. She also is adamant that Ori and the Blind Forest should have won Game of the Year in 2015. Neither of us were too impressed with Portal Knights, but we love Steep! We introduce a new segment "Anthem Arrival Advisory" counting down our excitement to the release of Anthem!

In a big news week, we talk about the Blackout free trial, Gamestop getting sold, Rocket League gets crossplay, the Division 2 comes exclusively to the Epic Game store on PC and there's rumors that SNES games will be coming to the Switch Online program. We queried our Discord friends to find out what games they most want to see.

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.
