Hey there Cubies! We are back at it again with our Make A Game series. We get some random themes and and goals and try to see what kinda games come out of it. We have used a lot of random generators in the past, but this time we are using AI to come up with jumping off points. But....AI is a little weird and really wanted to push sentient objects on us. ---------------- Hosts: Christian & Chris Don't forget to leave us a cheeky review and we will read them on the show.

Hey there Cubies! We have an interesting one for you all this week. It feels like the calm before the storm for sure. After tackling a big game resently it has been nice just cruising through some smaller titles, or catching up with ones we havent gotten too just yet. Like, Chris hopping on Dragon Age: Veilguard. A game that defineatly does not deserve the negative press that it got. And Journey is still on peoples minds! With the 13th year anniversary here there is actually an event planned for the game which is great. That is a game that really inspired Christian during school and helped start the conversation of games as works of art! ---------------- Hosts: Christian & Chris Don't forget to leave us a cheeky review and we will read them on the show.

38:53

Hey there Cubies! So, in celebration of Pokemon day and all the crazy things announced we are diving back into the world of Pokemon. Z-A looks like an interesting evolution into the franchise and it could breath new life into it. It being in just one town is a little strange and the choice to include Tepig in the lineup is weird, but there must be a reason for it. We also got the announcement for Pokemon Champions which looks awesome. Bringing us back to the Colosseum days. But we will just have to wait and see! ---------------- Hosts: Christian & Chris Don't forget to leave us a cheeky review and we will read them on the show.

Hey there Cubies! Unity is back in the conversation this week. Surprisingly their stock is on the ride once again. Although it is still a pale comparison to what it was in 2021. So, why the change? Well they have a new string of investors backing their endeavors into AI with Unity MUSE. A new tool that will allow users to basically make games using AI. Generate code, sprites, behaviors and more. But here is the big question, what will this do to the gaming community. When all code and art is generate using AI will there be innovation? Since all data sets are based on past information new ideas might be few and far between. We want to discuss this dilemma and see where this new tool can be useful, if at all. ---------------- Hosts: Christian & Chris Don't forget to leave us a cheeky review and we will read them on the show.

Hey there Cubies! We are diving into a new game that was just announced by Compulsion Games, South Of Midnight. A game set in the south showcases the rich lore and culture of the area. This tittle appears to be doing some amazing things when it comes to the story telling, art and music. But why is already being looked at under a microscope and being judged so harshly. Well there is something that plagues not just gaming culture, but all media and that is those that make rash judgments without knowing or understanding the intent, or speaking their mind when they do not really need to. We want to celebrate this game while bringing attention to the hurdles that it is having to jump through. ---------------- Hosts: Christian & Chris Don't forget to leave us a cheeky review and we will read them on the show.

Hey there Cubies! This week we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Playstation! It is hard to believe that it has been 30 years already. From day 1 the Playstation has changed gaming and continues to do so today. We grew up with these consoles, running out day 1 to get them. They even made us fall in love with particular genres like RPGs. There have been amazing franchises that started close to 30 years ago that still inspire gamers and designers to this day.

Feels like a broken record at this point but this has been a great year for games. And Atlus did something amazing, they released another demo (like Unicorn Overlord) that allows you to play a good chunk of the game. Just have to say that the demo does not disappoint, but rather really drives the point home that we will be diving head first into this one. Christian also has played a lot more of Bloomtown and for a game that has such a cozy exterior the content and story are so rich and will tug at all of your emotions. ------------------ Hosts: Christian & Chris Don't forget to leave us a cheeky review and we will read them on the show.

Hello all! Before we get into Astro Bot Christian has a little chip on his shoulder that needed discussion. It is becoming much more common in games and media now but too many titles have little to no pay off at the end. You finish a story and instead of enjoying a twist, or witnessing a huge epic event, or just a good payoff the ending is spoiled half way through and nothing exciting happens. Its especially annoying with games you spend 40+ hours in. But anyway...Astro Bot is amazing and it is just further proof that we NEED a new Ape Escape game! ------------------ Hosts: Christian & Chris Don't forget to leave us a cheeky review and we will read them on the show.

There is more drama and gun fights thrown in to add to the mystery of what the job actually entails. Whether is Indiana Jones surviving a nuclear blast in a fridge, or fighting a giant Trex in a cave like Tomb Raider the job has a lot of added flourish. But is this a bad thing? Is this just escapism at its finest. And how many people have been introduced to these jobs through media and have made it their life's passion to go into the field.
