The XboxCast

#224: Soggy Milo

And out of nowhere, a normal episode appears! 
But how can you be normal with this bunch?
 
Since we're back with your regularly scheduled episode, Lee comes at us with news, nuus, and knews... So much news! Xbox Scarlett and its streaming capabilities, Microsoft hitting $10 Billion with is gaming division, Shadow of War removing microtransactions, QuakeCON coming u, Destiny 2 news and... Fortnite took up 20% of all internet traffic in New Zealand? Say what? 
 
For new games, we have a big one - No Man's Sky lands on Xbox with its NEXT update and the screenshots being shared on Twitter make it look amazing. We can't ait to jump in to what looks like a properly finished game. And Train Sim World opens up the Northeast Coridor. We think thats where the posh people are. 
 
Kyle goes on about Fallout 4 (only a few years too late) and Lee has completed 80-something percent of Forza Horizon 3! 
 
We're one episode away from hitting our 50th episode, which is awesome news! We have a live stream event planned for the weekend of the 4th, so be sure to check out our Facebook or Twitter page for deets and timing and stuff like that...
 
All of this, and more in this 'normal' episode of The Xboxcast.

#223: The Xboxcast's One Year Anniversary Episode

A year ago, we came together to talk about games. Who would have thought we'd still be doing this? Not us, thats who! 
 
But here we are, officially one year old! And what better way to celebrate, than to eat cake while trying talk... Well that and have a look back at our very first episode - Episode Numero Uno. 
 
From the news of yesteryear, to what we were playing back then and then even a bit of introspection where Kyle asks everyone how happy they are to be seeing his face every week, this episode has it all. Plus cake. Well... Chocolate brownies. But still, thats sort of cake right? 
 
This episode was streamed live on Mixer, so if you want to see our setup procedure and how many false starts we have to suffer through, go check it out. A more refined version will be on our YouTube channel. And of course, you'll always have the audio version of to cherish for ever.

Give us a listen, share and like and tell your friends. And don't forget to join our Xbox Live Club to keep up to speed with our gaming (or lack there of). And we're now on Mixer, so follow us along there too.

#221: The Xboxcast's Fireside Chat

You're looking good. Have you lost weight? 
 
We are back and we even live streamed this episode! Hit up our YouTube if you want to see our big beautiful faces! 
 
This week, we are joined by Jeremy and Lee as we just have a chat about games. Something we don't do often enough. And certainly a little different to normal. 
 
From what we are playing, to our gaming wish list, to even a few unpopular gaming opinions - this fireside chat has it all.

#219: Road To Eeeeee Three

With Lee away, the cat is out to play. And that cats' name is E3. Only the biggest time fo the year for gaming fans. 
 
Kyle, Paul and Simone couldn't really care much about the news or the new games this week, BECAUSE E3 GUYS! So to make sure you are just as excited as we are, we go over the games getting us the most excited. Both confirmed and rumored to be shown off or on the show floor. And of course, Fallout 76!

#218: Pratt On A T-Rex

Chris Pratt riding a T-Rex and saving the world is the brand new franchise that you never knew you needed. Until now! So while that happens, we stop everything to completely go gaga for State of Decay 2. 
Seriously, no other game exists for The Xboxcast any more. We're all playing it, and you totally should to. In fact we even get Jeremy to join us and talk about his adventures in the zombie wasteland. 
 
Fortnite gets sued by PUBG, more dinosaurs get shown off for Jurassic World Evolution and even the Xbox 360 gets some love with its first system update in 2 years. Probably updating its privacy policy... Which reminds us... 
 
New games have decided to become wacky this week with Birdcakes, Zamb! Redux and Yuki's Island Express to name a few. If you ever wanted what it felt like to be a dung beatle trapped in a Sonic-cross-pinball world, then this one's for you! 
 
Now onto serious business... We have updated our privacy policy!

#217: Just Expect Sarcasm

Sarcasm. Its that thing that you never expect. Unless, of course, you do. In that case, its not unexpected.
 
This week, Kyle and Simone are back, and we are almost back to normal programing. We talk about Apple giving all the 3.5 jacks to Microsoft for use in their new Xbox Adaptive Controller, more titles leaving Game Pass and Fortnite getting $100 million for its foray into e-sports. Its also no smooth sailing for Sea of Thieves. Also, did you know Australia bans games? We have a list! 
 
Our new games list is certainly not backwards, or decaying, as we cover State of Decay 2, I Hate Running Backwards and oOo: Ascension amongst others. 
 
And for a special segment this week, lets get that E3 hype train going! Only a few days stand between us and Phil on the Xbox stage. What better time to talk about the things we are hoping from E3 this year!

#215: Paul Is A Warmonger!

Kyle and Simone are enjoying a well deserved break.
Which means the podcast has been left in the hands of Paul, Rebekah and Lee...anything could happen!
 
During the news Lee and Paul try and sell Gamepass to Rebekah
 
Rebekah feels at home in our top platformers run down, and gives us a great review of what we should all be playing.
 
Lee and Paul show their age when talking about the Gaming Hall of Fame.
 
But mostly important we discover Paul is a warmonger!

Join our heroes this week as they talk about getting free goats. In Pure Farming 2018 of course. No one goes around these days just handing out goats.
 
Sea of Thieves is riding the wave to be the biggest game Rare has ever done. And we're not going to take any wind out of their sails. Its not Rare these days to see this game get all the holes patched up. And I think I am out of puns now. We'll just have to sea where the rest of these show notes go...
 
Fortnite got hit by a meteor. And it was catastrophically well received.
Esports in the Olympics, Immortal Redneck gets to 4K60 on the One X and Microsoft loves Discord now?

This week, a bunch more games decide to go Battle Royal, Sam is getting Serious for the fourth time, getting hunted by Ewoks is all we ever wanted and is Crackdown 3 close to a release date? 
 
For the new games, prepare to get terrified when Emily Wants To Play Too and you help solve the murder of Nikola Tesla. Add to this, Euro Fishing is getting more DLC, in case that will reel you in...
