Gamer Friends has returned this week with lots of news and a dope new guest! Logging On, we tackle the ArenaNet mess and subsequent fallout before discussing toxicity in gaming more generally, including Rainbow Six Siege’s awesome approach to the use of slurs in-game. Next we chat a bit about Warframe coming to Switch, walk through all of the latest Destiny: Forsaken info, and learn just how helpful spell check could have been for Aliens: Colonial Marines.
These Past Two Weeks in Nerdom have been a doozy, with news that Billy Dee Williams will be returning to Star Wars’ to-be-named ninth installment, Black Widow’s solo movie snagging a director, and more praise for Cloak and Dagger. The boys have struggled through more of Luke Cage, but spend a lot more time thinking about the future of Steven Universe. Finally, Big Nick walks through his jumbled Ant-Man and the Wasp theory for Avengers 4 and makes a bold prediction for the future of the MCU.
For The Homescreen, we’ve been sticking to the rivers and lakes that we’re used to with more of The Sims 4, Forza Horizon 3, PUBG’s test server, and Rocket League’s 3rd Anniversary event.
This week on Party Chat, friend of the show DJBobbyFlay joins your Gamer Friends to explain what levain is and trash Goldeneye on N64, but mostly to talk JRPGs. Don’t worry, there’s plenty of Final Fantasy blasphemy thrown in for good measure. Please direct any and all complaints isaidwhatisaid@gamerfriendspodcast.com.
We appreciate you tuning in, as always! Please rate and review if you like the show (thanks again to those that have!) and we’ll see you all in two weeks!
