• CORE 433: Pay or Die
    Aug 30 2024
    Let's get some chatter going about Early Access in 2024, and what that means. It's not just indies on Steam we're talking about. BIG major releases this month made us ask some questions about the idea, and what we would like to see moving forward. Plus our time in WoW, Star Wars Outlaws, Peglin, and more. Dear Martha, Diablo news, CD Projekt Red and some updates, and more!

  • CORE 426: Game? Pass.
    Jul 12 2024

    CORE 426: Game? Pass.

    So the inevitable happened. MS is raising the price of GamePass across the board, and introducing a lower tier that kinda sucks. We have all kinds of thoughts on it, and one us even dumped it. Also, are transformers skins enough to get Jon back into Overwatch 2? Probably not. Ayaneo retro console looks pretty cool (it's more a mini PC but still seems great for emu). Nintendo takes public stance to not use generative AI. CCP will making Eve Online open-source in order to ensure the MMO can live on forever. Darktide overhauling weapon progression, adding mastery xp and making it more progression focused rather than RNG. All that and your feedback.
