Listen "CORE 481: Feels Itchy"
Episode Synopsis
We talked about upcoming games for August, including Metal Gear Solid Delta, House of the Dead 2 remake, and Gears of War: E-Day. We discussed the return of Nerdtacular in June 2026 in Salt Lake City and encouraged listeners to fill out the interest survey. We covered game delistings tied to payment processors, especially around sensitive themes, and had a broader discussion on censorship, parenting, and internet policy shifts. We debated the 1980s cultural resurgence, Roblox’s value, and Microsoft’s growing dominance via studio acquisitions and Game Pass. And a LOT more to boot!GAMES PLAYEDScottShapez 2FumesMore BananzaJonFinal Fantasy X (finished)Final Fantasy X-2 (sampled)Final Fantasy XI (sampled)Final Fantasy XII (sampled)Donkey Kong BananzaBeauAbiotic FactorNinja Gaiden: RageboundValheim (Trollstav incident)Magic: Edge of EternitiesStarCraft 2 co-op Hosted on Acast.
