The Gaming Nexus Show

FEB 3, 2022

Though we are missing our wonderful Elliot (I highly doubt they are), our resident game developer Max has assumed the throne! Crown him (king of mouth clicks) as he and Editor in Chief Eric talk about his game "Ocean's Heart" hitting the Switch, NFT's, then he (Max) and our Streamer Joseph talk about the advancement in "demakes". This episode is to the Max, so give it a listen! (so many!...) You can also preorder his game for the Switch here. -written by Joseph, with small edits by Elliot (I'm still here bitches)

Difficulty and video games

This week’s topic for The Gaming Nexus Show was difficulty. Our presentation today in three acts. Act one Eric talks about how hard it is to be good at video games, and even though he reviews games he’s not necessarily good at them. Act two Joe and Eric chat about the glory days of the original PlayStation era, back when games only had one difficulty. They break down their top five games from that system, with a bevy of honorable mentions (be sure to listen for Elliot’s top five at the top of the show). We round out the episode talking about the biggest gaming news of 2022 so far, Microsoft buying Activision Blizzard. How difficult will it be for Sony now that Microsoft owns an ever growing library of games?

If you want to skip around (that’s totally fine with us) here are the jumping on points for this week’s segments:
3:44 Eric difficulty with games
13:50 Joseph and Eric’s top five PlayStation games
48:25 Activision-Blizzard bought up by Microsoft

It's time to share our feelings

We have made it through the holiday break here on The Gaming Nexus Show. Video game news and releases may have been few and far in between the past couple of weeks, but things are looking up in the world of video games. Our topic for this week’s show was feelings. Eric and Elliot sat down to talk about theirs and the game Hades, something Elliot has been into since it’s initial release in 2020, and a game Eric has just recently given a try. After that Joseph chats with Eric about his cousin Ania. Of course we end with the selection of next episode’s word, and you’ll never believe who gets to finally pick it.

Saddle up for this horse driven episode

Eric was once again allowed to pick the topic for this week’s show, he went with horses. We somehow found the gusto to put out three segments, some a little closer to the horse culture than others. We begin with a little end of the year chat about our favorite games of the year. And then Eric give us a tale of a knee replacement, and the game he will forever tie his recovery from it with. Elliot is joined by friend of the show Scott, of the Budget Arcade Podcast, to talk about horses and videogames. They both break down and end up talking about World of Warcraft. Finally Eric tests Joe's knowledge about the Atari era of video games.

If you want to skip around (that’s totally fine with us) here are the jumping on points for this week’s segments:

4:40 Favorite games of 2021

Trucks, and snakes... a podcast about video games

You read that right. This week we turned Eric's terrible idea of trucks and snakes into a podcast about video games. If you like that you'll love the next episode's word. We also give our thoughts on some of the Game Awards nominees. Max talks to Eric about a truck that meant a lot to some of us in our formidable years. Joe gives his thoughts on the game Returnal. And stick around as Elliot loses his mind over who gets to pick the next topic.
