The Gaming Nexus Show

Did you know the Emmys took place last week? We talk about how basic cable hosted a show devoted to awarding online streaming shows and movies, and no one is surprised. Eric brings up the topic of Diablo 2 and if it’s ok to support a game that has ties to Blizzard. Joseph gets upset about rumors, even when they’re not about him. Elliot hates on old people just because they’re old. And Max brings up Catan World Explorers, a game that was in development which is now going away before being completely finished. We round out the episode with some listener questions.

We are back to our typical four man roster of Joseph, Max, Eric and Elliot. Joe brings up Nintendo and their unwillingness to let people play the games they want, the way they want to play them, sparking discussions about a number of different things. Eric gives a review for Life is Strange: True Colors which releases on September 10. Max didn’t do his homework this week and scrambles to give us the lore of the Kirby character Meta Knight. And because Elliot wanted to feel important we let him talk about Bus Simulator, and how it surprised him.

Where have we been? Well we’ve been on a little bit of an unscheduled break that became more than that. We’re still going to be gone for a few more weeks, but we will return! And with our return comes a new and hopefully improved version of our show. Look for the new style on November 11. Thanks for sticking by, just a few more weeks.

Stuck at home with a room full of people you’re not super excited to see this Thanksgiving? Your weird uncle asleep on the couch? Want something time consuming without putting in any physical work? We may have the show for you. We have a heaping portion of The Gaming Nexus Show for you this week. This week our topic was press-start. Joseph found himself pushing start on a newly purchased PlayStation 5. And boy does he have opinions. He sat down with Eric to talk and tells the listeners if he thinks it’s worth trying to pick up one right now, or if you’re better off just waiting. Joseph wasn’t done giving you his opinion of things, and as such read his op-ed he wrote a few weeks back on gamingnexus.com. And finally Elliot and Eric talk about the recent stealth release of Halo Infinity’s multiplayer. Elliot comes from a background where he played the first handful of games almost religiously, and this was Eric’s first foray into the series. And not to shock anyone, they have different opinions of the release.
