EXP Podcast #522: Fallen Order and Star Wars Shenanigans

How do you like them apples?

Much like the World Cup, the Olympics, the movies themselves, Star Wars makes a strong showing on our podcast every few years.  We're due to return to that far, far away galaxy and what better time to return?  Details on Jedi: Fallen Order are coming in hot and the trailer for Episode 9 has all of us searching our feelings for answers.  Listen in for some extremely nerdy references to lore and half-baked fan theories.

EXP Podcast #520: Springtime for Sekiro

April showers bring the bite of cold steel.

The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, the katana are thirsty for blood, and we're playing some video games!  This week we do a quick check in on some of the games we've been playing over the past few weeks.  It's been a busy first quarter of the year apparently, as we're covering everything from FAR: Lone Sails, The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince, Baba is You, The Division 2, and (of course) Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

EXP Podcast #519: Stadia Ready

Gaming in the clouds!

OnLive is dead. Long live Google Streaming! We are back after a short hiatus to bring you thoughts on Google's announcement of Stadia, a games streaming service that looks is aiming to transform the way we buy, play, and sell video games. There's a lot to be excited about! But, we also have some big concerns - many of which are related to Comcast.

What do you think? Is the streaming future bright?

Puppet Reggie will now act
as interim President

This week on the EXP Podcast, we say goodbye to Reggie, who will now spend all of his retirement getting good at Smash Bros. Ultimate, hitting the competitive circuit, and making children cry when they dunked on by Isabelle.

Also, the Detective Pikachu movie is coming out and it raises more questions than answers.

EXP Podcast #516: Direct from the Battle Royale

Introducing the next Smash character: a Tetris block!

Behold the modern battlefield: a dusty techno-future teeming with mercenaries and killer robots.  And then, from the heavens falls a mighty obelisk.  As it slots perfectly into place, the plateau you've been standing on evaporates.  The remnants rain down mercilessly on your opponents and you think to yourself: "Maybe I should go make some Mario levels instead."

This week we do a check in Apex Legends, Tetris 99, and some highlights from the latest Nintendo Direct.
