173 WTF Is Going On With "Flappy Bird?"
Episode 173
vendredi 20 septembre 2024 • Duration 01:20:48
A big announcement shook the Game-O-Verse to its core earlier this week. "Flappy Bird," the massively viral mobile game from 2014, would be making a triumphant return: New game modes, updated levels, and...crypto?
An entity called "The Flappy Bird Foundation" plans to resurrect the beloved game this year. But as the media poked at this announcement, the plot thickens. The game had been abandoned the same year it was released, due to the immense pressure and scrutiny on its creator, Dong Nguyen. After the re-release announcement, Nguyen tweeted for the first time in 7 years that he has nothing to do with the game, never sold it, and doesn't support crypto.
So...who owns "Flappy Bird?" Who has the right to re-release it? And if IP is "abandoned," can anyone just start monetizing it?
Meanwhile, the PS5 Professional sure is expensive. Crying about game consoles on the Internet is nothing new, but we ask the honest question: Who is this upgraded hardware for? And what kind of prices will the market bear in an era of infinite choice?
Plus: Possible leaked images of the Nintendo Switch 2? And a tale of two very different "Baldur's Gate 3" experiences.

172 I Can't Stop Thinking About "Baldur's Gate 3," Please Send Help
Episode 172
vendredi 13 septembre 2024 • Duration 33:43
Busy lives, work schedules, children, and sleep did not permit a co-operative recording this week, so Matt shares how starting "Baldur's Gate 3" last week with Colette's husband Patrick and friend-of-the show Sky Burkson has been a transformative experience.
We shall return with more BG3 shenanigans (and the week's news) next Friday!

163 'Zenless Zone Zero' Has Come for Your Wallet
Episode 163
lundi 8 juillet 2024 • Duration 01:04:51
miHoYo released their 3rd(!) gatcha game in the West within four years, called "Zenless Zone Zero," which blends "Genshin" style combat with a "Persona" vibe. It got 50 million downloads within days of release, cementing the Chinese developer as an absolute unit.
So, is ZZZ actually good? Colette shares her early impressions of the PS5 version.
Plus: The Steam Summer sale hit our wish lists hard this year. We share what's in our carts, along with the games our listening community scored on the cheap.

73 Maybe Animal Crossing Was a Pandemic MMO for Muggles
Episode 74
vendredi 2 septembre 2022 • Duration 01:11:30
Would you take your Steam Deck on a cruise ship? Your answer to this question is better than any horoscope.
Also, Sony's investment in mobile MMOs and live service games leads us to a conversation about how platforms and ecosystems are so important in bringing "Muggles" (i.e. non-traditional gamers) into games — specifically, how the persistent worlds of our own Animal Crossing islands kinda became a social MMO that 30 million people played throughout the pandemic. The future of live service has a lot to do with what devices and platforms are in our pockets.

70 We Can't Stop Playing 'Vampire Survivors' Send Help
Episode 71
vendredi 12 août 2022 • Duration 01:15:36
Vampire Survivors, the indie darling that's sweeping the nation, only uses one stick. But its strategic complexity is a miles-deep "just one more run" rabbit hole, and Colette may never climb out.
Speaking of hopeless addictions, Matt has returned to Sea of Thieves for its Season 7 Captaincy Update, and is also checking out Monster Sanctuary, which is a Poké-like Metroidvania with Final Fantasy-esque combat. Phew!
Also, the incomprehensible size of Tencent and its continued domination of the industy.

The world NEEDS a cross-platform, free-to-play, ranked, competitive mahjong game with unlockable cosmetics that make rainbows shoot out of your tiles...and WE will be the ones to make it.
We also discuss the joys of late comedic actor Meshach Taylor (of Mannequin and Designing Women fame) and eventually get around to discussing actual video games, which include whether 13 Sentinels is an Evangelion-like, and the strange technical whiplash of Final Fantasy VII Remake's PC port.

Is Stray, the most-wishlisted game in Steam history, living up to the hype? Colette shares her first impressions on both the Steam Deck and her PC. Also, Matt finally finished 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, and there is a LOT (of non-spoilers) to talk about!

C&M Present: Nice Games Club!
Episode 68
vendredi 22 juillet 2022 • Duration 01:11:23
We are offline this week for overlapping vacations but in the meantime, we wanted to introduce you to another fantastic podcast in the HyperX family called Nice Games Club, where three game devs talk about the industry!
We're excited to have Ellen Burns-Johnson, Mark LaCroix, and Stephen McGregor on the show for a roundtable discussion, but in the meantime, we're sharing episode 249 of their show from February which discusses how "free" games (like those given away on Epic and bundled with GamePass) are affecting the industry.
On its face, this is a fantastic value for players and a great safeguard for developers against the volatility of the market. But longterm, does this model "devalue" the work of game devs and the cultural impact of a given game?
We hope you enjoy this episode and we'll be back next week with more Chat!
