SGR Coffee Break 61 – The DOOM Song!

May 19, 2016 By Chris Nitz Leave a Comment

After a forced break due to internet issues last week, we are back once again to babble on about this and that. We start out with a lovely discussion about game reviews and why it’s okay to have differing opinions. Sadly, I kill that conversation, which was pretty solid. Maybe we should come back to that in a future episode? Anyway, we then transition to talk about the DOOM franchise. The stroll down memory lane is strong. Heck, now I want to play Brutal DOOM again! I MUST RESIST!

SGR Coffee Break 60: The World of Virtual Reality

May 5, 2016 By Chris Nitz Leave a Comment

We’ve talked a bit about virtual reality and our hesitations with it. In fact, both Keri and I have been pretty much on the Nope Train for it. However, Keri recently got a change to try out VR for the first time and her opinions on it have changed. While she is a believer in the VR hype now, there was a bit of unexpected side effects during her trial with it. Me, I’ll just keep holding out until the tech improves, becomes cheaper, and the games are more than just glorified tech demos. One thing is for sure, it does not seem like virtual reality is going away anytime soon. You know…like the non-hype that was motion controls or 3D gaming.

SGR Coffee Break 59: A New Episode of what is Nintendo Doing

April 28, 2016 By Chris Nitz Leave a Comment

Nintendo announced that the Nintendo NX is really a thing that is coming in 2017. They also confirmed that the next entry in the Zelda series will be coming to both the NX and the WiiU. Yet, we know nothing of what this new system is. Not a glimpse of what it looks like. Not a hint of specs or what it’s capable of. Not even a murmur of what kind of funky control scheme this new system will surely employ. Keri and I are totes confused as to what strategy Nintendo is trying to go with on this. I mean, are they really looking to fail before they even get this thing into retail stores?

April 21, 2016 By Chris Nitz Leave a Comment

The rumor mill is buzzing with talk of what might just be a PlayStation 4 refresh in the midst. If these rumors are true, it means the PlayStation 4 will get a hardware upgrade and a new mode to help games run better and nicer. Keri and I discuss what the updates could mean for gamers and developers. Interesting times are certainly ahead of us now.

SGR Coffee Break 57 – So What About Multiplayer Games?

April 14, 2016 By Chris Nitz Leave a Comment

After a few weeks of being busy with travel and life, we are finally able to sit down together and record a podcast. Keri and I chat about the new hotness in video games known as multiplayer focused games. With games like LawBreakers, Battleborn, and Overwatch all on the horizon, these all have a focus on putting you online in some form of a multiplayer setting. We even look at how these games are taking genres such as MOBA or looter-shooter, mixing them up, and making some unique experiences for players to enjoy. Needless to say, it’s good to be a gamer.

Oh, yeah. We are so rusty after our little break that SOMEONE forgets to turn off Steam. So we have a small glitch in the system where we are disconnected from one another.
