H.A.M. Radio LIVE MrMattyPlays

H.A.M. Radio LIVE is a live podcast hosted by MrMattyPlays and Paul Lombardo on Fridays at 6 PM EST with YOU in the rotating third seat. There's a million and one podcasts out there, so what makes what we're doing any different from others already available? While focusing on the latest in gaming news and the hottest game releases, our calling card is that we embrace the live structure of our show in its entirety. That means taking live call-ins from the audience and hearing what is on your mind! Not comfortable with that? No problem. We have a structure that enables write-ins as well, so anyone can participate at anytime! Missed an episode? We upload them on podcast platforms and YouTube at 2 PM EST for all to hear after a small stretch of early access given to our patrons.

Welcome to our first episode of H.A.M. Radio Live! In this episode, we discuss Xbox's new partnership for Perfect Dark, Nintendo's wild direct featuring a plethora of announcements, and your fun call-ins! Overall, we had a blast on our first episode! There are certainly some growing pains we have to comb through such as technical difficulties, timestamps, timing, question counts, etc. but I think that comes with anything new. I'm proud of us. This is new and for Paul to dive into the deep end with his first show like this AND have it be live... he did very well. So, we hope you enjoy!

After diving into the deep end with episode 1, H.A.M. Radio Live has its official structure. Alongside it is more big news from the trifecta of gaming titans. PlayStation has absorbed not one but two developers in its path. What is the future of both Bluepoint and Fabrik Games? Matty and Paul discuss! Meanwhile, Xbox was expected to have acquisitions of their own, but instead they have continued to fortify the offerings of Xbox Game Pass. This time it is in the form of Scarlet Nexus, AI: The Somnium Files, and Marvel's Avengers. On top of all of this, Nintendo has gone out of their way twice to shut down reports out of Bloomberg about a Nintendo Switch supporting 4K output. With this second report, more names and details are provided, so the detectives get to work!

Xbox begins the celebration this week for the 20th anniversary of the brand. Can we expect more beyond some merch and hardware? Paul and Matty discuss their hopes and dreams for the anniversary in November as things heat up! These two also happened to review Far Cry 6 where they left with the same emotion: bleh. Far Cry 6 came across as uninspired to the duo during the review period, so it's time for a deep dive into why that is the case. Beyond that, some dude named Sora is added into Smash Ultimate and GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition is finally announced!

The energy is REAL this week! Avowed suffered a substantial leak this week at the hands of Jez Corden so Paul and Matty sink their teeth deeply into this one. With new details on the gameplay of Avowed, is this going to push Bethesda in the direction of taking notes and doing their own thing? Plus, there is much to discuss in the world of Nintendo! With balls of steel, they have hiked the price of their online service by 150%! Is there enough included to justify such a price climb? That on top of the fiercely debated Pokemon Legends Arceus which is seemingly confirmed to not be open world! Toss in some fantastic call ins and we have ourselves a fine episode of H.A.M. Radio Live.

A mighty week in gaming news has come and gone! Elden Ring, one of 2022's most anticipated releases, has seen a small delay. Does it come with concern or is all of it under control? Beyond that, another week and another series of Xbox leaks. The newest one comes in the form of a cloud-based MMO from a relatively unknown studio. The premise sounds unique, but what exactly IS cloud gaming? Matty and Paul discuss. Beyond that, poop stories. You want them, we got them.
