Explosion Of Happiness 039 Red Alert

06/30/2016 - Ryan and Andrew played a chunk of Dragonball Xenoverse, but even as fanboys they can't stop being bitter even once in their lives.  There's plenty to like about Super Hot.  There's not much to like about Pony Island.  The Steam sell encouraged Ryan to indulge in some old school Star Wars nostalgia.  He then kills the good vibe by ranting about CBS and their new ball crushing guidelines for Star Trek fan film producers.  The Oculus Rift is pulling an Xbox One tier rebound with its DRM.  G2A has one (and only one) good thing going for it.

Friday, June 3, 2016

Explosion of Happiness 035 TNEIOISAM

Explosion of Happiness 033 Prophecy Prophecy Mystic Runes

05/19/2016 - Andrew finally joins the Hotline Miami 2 completion club.  Ryan's Counterstrike journey continues into solo ranked competition matches.  Star Trek Online warps onto consoles.  Winning pay to win games without paying to win can offer egotistical satisfaction.  Valve's VAC Ban system is Skynet waiting to happen.  Civilization VI announced.  Windows 10 continues to take victims.  Pokken Tournament for the WiiU out-sold Street Fighter V for the PS4.  Multiplayer-only games only work when the multiplayer is good.  Japan's censorship of Telltale's Walking Dead Season 2 is hilarious, but America's censorship of Tokyo Mirage Sessions is appalling.

04/28/2016 - Ryan brings up the topic of terrible online communities after wrestling with his love/hate relationship with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.  Andrew drops some details on the future of FromSoftware and his thoughts on Dark Souls 3 post-completion.  Nintendo caused another fan ruckus over The Legend of Zelda for WiiU, confirmed to be coming to NX as well.  Atlus wants its western fans to respect the Japanese essence of Tokyo Mirage Sessions, so they went ahead and censored a bunch of Japanese customs in it.  The inevitable return of paid mods is ever closer.  Rumor has it the original Modern Warfare is getting moderner on PS4.

Friday, April 22, 2016

Explosion Of Happiness 029 Hurt Me Plenty

04/21/2016 - The Doom open beta left the game nuts very dissatisfied with ID and Bethesda's treatment of the IP.  The Titanfall 2 trailer leads Ryan to predict a future trend in trailers.  Rambo: The Video Game is getting free DLC for what ever reason that defies any and all logic in the universe.  Super Giant Games is coming out with an RPG.  Corpse Party is coming to Steam and 3DS and it's...

Explosion Of Happiness 027 False Narratives

04/07/2016 - Thoughts and opinions on Tree of Savior's monetization, Call of Duty: Black Ops III's campaign, and the Final Fantasy XV Platinum Demo.  A massively false narrative concerning Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear's negative user reception is vomited across the web by your typical rotten-to-the-core gaming news sites, and the game nuts promptly lambaste it.  The question of "should an artist's work stand apart from the individual?" is discussed in the context of video gaming.  Blizzard replaced the ridiculously over-controversial Overwatch character art.  Nintendo slaps down a fan tribute to The Legend of Zelda.  Blizzard slaps down a World of Warcraft vanilla server.  Doom's multiplayer DLC is just sad.  A prank on the CS:GO community leads to a discussion on how microtransactions are smearing the line between gaming and gambling.  The Oculus Rift is going to invade everyone's privacy.  WB is supporting Mortal Kombat X's competitive scene, too bad they won't support the actual game.  Teasing of God of War 4.

Friday, March 11, 2016

Explosion of Happiness 023 Krystal is a Terrible Character

03/09/2016 - ARK's warming on the game nuts but still hasn't blown them away.  G2A is offering impressive discounts on digital PC games but not without repercussions.  Another Xbox development.  Capcom is still Capcom and Konami is still Konami.  Modders make everyone happy on Black Desert Online.  Target Australia's made it clear who their demographic isn't.  EVE Online infuses real life scientific research into gameplay.  Quentin Tarantino and video games.  Krystal fans are the worst of the worst and it's time for a rant.

Friday, March 4, 2016

Explosion of Happiness 022 Welcome to the Family

03/03/2016 - Time was spent surviving in ARK.  The No Man's Sky hype has gone too far and the game nuts are here to verbalize this insanity into the ground.  Microsoft's Xbox One announcement gave the green light to an overdue rant on Windows 10 as well as the inevitable coming war of cloud based entertainment services.  Have we all been given a phantom pain unknowingly?  Is a Devil May Cry crossover with Bayonetta possible?  Nintendo finally adds SNES games to their virtual store for the New 3DS.
