    #70 - We Joined Deep Rock Galactic and Immediately Started a Dwarf-Sized Disaster

    Ovox and ChukTomahawk get their first dive into Deep Rock Galactic and it’s a wild ride from the jump. Join us as we fumble through our first missions, marvel at the space-dwarf chaos, and try (badly) to make sense of alien bugs, mining lasers, and the Abyss Bar space beers. We give our unfiltered first impressions after several hours of gameplay, covering everything from the procedurally generated graphics and intense soundtrack to the bizarre lobby hub and those relentless cave-dwelling enemies. There’s a bit of lore, a lot of laughter, and some honest love for what might be one of the most fun co-op games we’ve played recently. We even draw a few comparisons to Helldivers 2 -a newer title that captures some of the same frantic, co-op magic. If you're into sci-fi shooters, comedy, or chaotic teamwork with a side of dwarven yelling, this one's for you. Rock and stone, to the bone! We are extremely grateful to have you here. If you enjoy the podcast, your help with a rating, review, and a share to a fellow gamer or two would support us tremendously and help us get to more listeners out there. From both of us, Thank You!

    #65 - PSN & Arma Reforger Server Failures: DDoS, Overload, and the Activision Theory Explained

    Ovox and ChukTomahawk dive into the server chaos that’s gripping both Arma Reforger and PlayStation Network (PSN). From DDoS attacks to server overload, players everywhere are facing connectivity problems and frustrating crashes. But what’s really causing the disruptions? Is it just a technical glitch, or is something more sinister going on? We break down the wild theories circulating online about Arma Reforger, including the shocking suggestion that Activision might be behind the chaos. Could DDoS attacks from hacker groups be responsible for these outages? Or are these games simply struggling to handle the influx of players? We take a deep dive into the technical challenges and explore how these server issues could impact the future of gaming. With PSN also facing downtime, we speculate on what might be causing these widespread outages and how they could be connected to the ongoing Arma Reforger issues. Is there a larger trend at play, or are these just isolated events? Tune in as we discuss these theories and what it could mean for the gaming community. We are extremely grateful to have you here.
