Aside from that, we covered many topics tonight, from Batman v Superman, with spoiler warnings, as well as the remastering of Turok and Turok 2 for Xbox One, the DLC for Two Worlds II (for some reason) and even the awkward situation that is what David Hayter had to say about Kojima! Other controversies of the week include the “Bootygate 2016” issue that Blizzard handled in terms of Tracer’s victory pose and even the possibility of Shadow of Mordor 2! Also DeepMind is learning to play Hearthstone and Magic: the Gathering, thus it is learning strategy and will soon force us all to submit! Be ready to praise our robot overlords come 2019!

MONG Podcast 116 | What Series Need to be in VR?

Leave a comment

The world is full of new technology and VR is just an example of that awesome new tech. Of course, that’s not all the news that came down from our gaming deities above. Battleborn has officially gone Gold and if you didn’t get the chance to try it (or failed to multiple times) a beta is happening! Final Fantasy XV may have had its release date spoiled and Microsoft may be bringing the worlds of PS+ and Xbox Gold closer! The console wars just might end! We know they never will, but a guy can be optimistic. Continue reading MONG Podcast 116 | What Series Need to be in VR? →

MONG Podcast 113 | The Fireside Firewatch Firecast

Leave a comment

The crew decided to take a departure from the norm this week by only covering one story each and taking that extra time to do a nice little spoilercast. Can you guess what it’s on? Probably, if not, it’s Firewatch. However! Before the Firewatch spoilercast, they covered the news of the beautifying of Knights of the Old Republic, the revival of Carmageddon, and the continued news of the Kojima-Del Toro dream team! So join us for another fun week of talking about our beloved hobby, games, and jokes. Apparently Parrapa the Rappa was on one caster’s mind!

Is PC Actually Better Than Console?

2 Comments

All hail the PC Master Race! This collective hivemind consists of purebred gamers who have made the Personal Computer their gaming platform of choice due to its limitless processing power, compatibility with various controllers and input devices, forward thinking focus on digital releases, multitude of new releases in a vast array of genres, and community support of titles that include fixes, mods, and upgrades. For the longest time, the prevailing opinion has been that whenever a game is released for PC as well as consoles, it would be the superior version by default. Furthermore, the PC is home to many unique exclusives that consoles wouldn’t even be able to run. The expanded capabilities of the PC trumps anything modern consoles can output. However, with respect to the glorious PC Master Race, is that really true? More and more often, we hear about the woes of PC games being broken at launch. In fact, these problems have become so commonplace, that I think it’s worth asking if PC gaming is actually better than gaming on consoles. Continue reading Is PC Actually Better Than Console? →

MONG Podcast 112 | Should Duration Determine Price?

Leave a comment

Have you ever picked up a game and been finished with it 3 hours? Well the MONG Podcast crew have too and that was the Thought from Nowhere this week… kinda. They went in on the question of if a game’s duration and features should determine its cost. The answers may shock you, or seem absolutely reasonable because Myles, Adam and Jordan are quite reasonable human beings. Regardless, they did cover some actual news as well. Kojima made a return to the podcast with Norman Reedus’ possible tease of a collaboration to come, Watch_Dogs 2 has been confirmed to little fanfare, Quantum Break had a bevy of news this week and Dark Souls III is getting pre-order incentives while the enemies of Dark Souls I are being made to look silly. On top of that, Bethesda has confirmed, priced, and divulged information on the Fallout 4 DLC and last, but most certainly not least, is that PlayStation VR will be on the market this Fall! If you’re not excited, you. Should. Be. Continue reading MONG Podcast 112 | Should Duration Determine Price? →

MONG Podcast 111 | Diamonds in the Rough

Leave a comment

Everyone should be happy I’m devoted to making this look good or I would have just typed “Gone to Play Firewatch” here and left to do just that. HOWEVER! I’m in it to win it and so is everyone else on this week’s episode of the MONG Podcast! The crew goes through and covers topics from the week including the return of the Overwatch beta, the reveal of The Culling, Metal Gear Solid V’s upcoming DLC, Firewatch photos, David Gaider taking the throne and what happens when you smash two portals together while inside of them in Portal… personally, I think the computer should have crashed hard and never turned back on.
