Challenge Mode 5 is here! We hope you're having as much fun listening to these as we are recording them! This time around, Thomas gives us a profile on the composer Marty O'Donnell, and his life and work up to and during the Halo franchise. There's a lot of gushing about how cool the soundtracks are in this episode, you have been warned.

This week, we kick off the show by sharing gaming stories from over the years and what we’ve been playing including Red Dead and World of Warcraft. With the news that Fortnite is one of Netflix’s biggest competitor, we go down the rabbit hole of how video games and cinema grow more entwined everyday. Whether it’s the gamification Netflix’s Bandersnatch and Minecraft story mode or the rise of high quality game adaptations, the future looks bright for gaming crossovers. Hit us up on Twitter and Facebook to tell us what game you want to see adapted into a tv show or film!

We bring on Ryan from Screen Heroes to talk the latest in video game news plus some of the games we’ve been playing recently. First up, it’s all about Bethesda’s big Fallout 76 announcement. Ryan helps us understand where Fallout 76 fits into the existing franchise’s timeline. Then it’s a discussion about the Atari VCS Indiegogo which launched and brought in over $2 million in one day. Next up is a bit about Red Dead Redemption 2 which has gone on pre-order and has some confusion surrounding its Playstation timed exclusive content. After that, we talk a bit about the upcoming E3 along with some predictions. Finally, we wrap things up by talking about Ryan and Jon’s first experiences with PSVR.

The Gamer Heroes podcast, the Heroes Podcast Network's second longest running series, premiered in January of 2017 and this marks its 122nd episode, of which, Derreck hosted 70. The show saw several other hosts including Jon Czerwinski who co-hosted the first 60 episodes with Derreck. The show continued with other hosts, primarily Thomas Egan and Kam Konek of GGKC, before Derreck returned in episode 213 to continue the series.

As one of the founding members of the series, I want to thank every single one of our listeners for sticking with us over the years or simply catching an episode. I'd also like to thank all of the hosts who carried the show either with me or for me over the last few years. I love podcasting and I love gaming.

Sometimes it's hard to know where the line is but when gaming becomes stressful due to podcasting deadlines and the podcast becomes stressful due to scheduling, it's time to step away. Listen to this final episode for a more in-depth explanation.

You can still find me on the Heroes Podcast Network's flagship series, Screen Heroes as well as our dedicated Star Trek podcast, Redshirts & Runabouts: https://linktr.ee/heroespodcasts

Thank you, everyone... and... Game On!
