The A.I. Take Over

Sunday Mar 03, 2024

Sunday Mar 03, 2024

Pounds? Euros? 
They're the same thing, right? 
 
Kyle and Lee get stuck talking about A.I. Almost as if they are a bunch of nerds... Can you tell we're amazed with ChatGPT? And with Microsoft shoving this A.I. all over Windows and Office and Azure, will we ever see this tech come to Xbox? Or are we wanting to keep the A.I. out of our games?
 
Friendly Feb has come to an end, and we have a bunch of game recommendations for you. So, if you didn't take part this year, but want to next year, you have a bunch of options. Now there is no excuse! Challenge yourself to avoid the death and destruction for February and spread the digital love. 
 
What do you think of the Xbox games going to PlayStation? Now that we know what games are going cross platform, how do you feel? Has your faith in Xbox been shaken? Kyle still thinks this is a mistake, due to the generic gamer only hearing "Xbox games go to PlayStation". If you have thoughts, drop into our Discord and tell us what you think! 
 
Has your wish list disappeared on Xbox? Are you the type to wish list 300+ games? If you were affected, Xbox has rolled out a fix and you should have your list back! And there was much rejoicing, with all three people who wish list the entire store. 
And to finish us off, an all-white Series X Digital Edition has been rumored.... Is this supposed to go up against the PlayStation Pro?

Everything you need to know about #75Hard. Or at least everything about drinking almost 4 liters of water a day. Including all the toilet breaks...
We promise we're an Xbox podcast! 
 
The charts are back to normal as Palworld slowly drops off. Now we wait for another chart disruptor to be released... And we keep control with a bunch of new controller releases, including the Retro Fighters controller for the OG Xbox. Thats right, for all 20 people who still have an original Xbox, you can now get a modern Series X like controller for it. How exciting! 
 
If you're an Xbox Insider, and play on PC, you want to check out the Xbox app. Kyle gives a great review over on his X (formally Twitter). Check it out, and let's give Microsoft more feedback about it. Because together, we'll make it better than Steam! 
 
Skull & Bones is a real game. Or at least it's out now. And we compare it to Black Flag - a game form 11 years ago. Can you guess which is the better game? We'll give you a hint - it's Black Flag by miles. Seriously, this is an embarrassment to Ubisoft. How it ever got released is beyond us...

After all the rumors, can we rest easy? 
Or are we still at Panic Station Red? 
 
We're joined today by the one, the only - Shane Bailey! And boy, is he needed, as we take apart everything to do with the Xbox Business Update. From the podcast itself, to the interviews with The Verge and Windows Central, we (almost) dissect every word from the CEO of Microsoft Gaming himself.

Is This the End of Xbox?

Saturday Feb 10, 2024

Saturday Feb 10, 2024

It's half past the hour of fun! 
 
Rumors and rumors of rumors have the Xbox community melting down. From Sea of Thieves going to PlayStation, to Xbox going all in on Third Party, it seems like Xbox is preparing to change the entire game. Could we see Starfield on PlayStation? Who knows. We have to wait for next week to see what Phil says. But while weeks have passed where these rumors have escalated, Xbox has remained suspiciously silent... We try to break it down and pepper it full of our own opinions of course! What do you think? 
 
Amid all of this, Rockband gets a new controller! In 2024! Who would have thought? Apparently, EA has only stopped supporting Rockband with its last DLC song pack. Diablo's Season 3 celebrates Lunar New Year with some great XP and gold bonuses and even Star Wars Outlaws gets a release date leak... Seems like the first week of Friendly Feb is full of controversy and exciting news.

Guess Who's Back, Back Again?

Saturday Feb 03, 2024

Saturday Feb 03, 2024

Welcome to Season 8! 
We're happy to have you here.
 
Because its "New Year, Same Us", we've decided to re-introduce ourselves to the world, for all the new listeners who've joined us recently. If you know and love us already, then let us know what we've missed out! 
 
February is Friendly Feb! This is your excuse to play a game that doesn't hurt a digital fly. So, violence is right out. Shooting things is not hip this month. Beating people up does not make you lit. This month, love slaps, being nice is bussin and having friends is great, no cap, for real, for real. What will you be playing this month? 
 
Xbox had a Developer Direct, showing off a lot of new games which managed to suck at least some of the hype out of Kyle. Ubisoft is closing servers, while pretending Skull & Bones is a real game that exists. Sea of Thieves is going from strength to strength with Season 11. Oh, and Palworld has knocked Fortnight off the top of the charts! We have much rejoicing!
