We hope that many of you are starting out the new year right with a fresh outlook on life, setting ambitious goals, and having new experiences. For us and this current iteration of Inside Gaming as a group of friends and as a channel - part of that means sunsetting what for the last two years has been a pretty significant chunk of our lives. Inside Gaming Daily will be no more for the time being and although Inside Gaming as a channel will continue on, it will be in a different capacity with some new changes.

Today we will be addressing those changes briefly in one last ride (sort of) for Inside Gaming Daily. Special thanks to every single one of you who ever watched a video, left a comment, or supported us in any way. We really appreciate it and wish you all the best as we transition into something new.

Extra! Extra! The PS5 and the Series X are finally out, Microsoft is buying Bethesda, Cyberpunk 2077 is a hot mess, everybody got really mad about the Last of Us 2, and COVID-19 has been wreaking havoc across the entire industry.

On today’s episode of Inside Gaming, we are turning back the clock to review the biggest video game news stories of 2020. From broken launch PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles to Cyberpunk 2077’s many delays leading up to a less than stellar launch were pulling out the biggest headlines that people will still be talking about in some way for years to come.

Of course, the biggest news stories aren’t always the best so leave a comment below about your favorite or least favorite news story of the year! - and thanks for watching today’s episode of Inside Gaming Daily!

*Please note we are on break and this video was recorded before Cyberpunk 2077 was released. Be excellent to each other.

The PS5 and Series X launch, Cyberpunk 2077, Halo Infinite being delayed, and Mixer were just a few of the video game disasters we reported on in the year 2020, but which one was the biggest?

All hands are on deck today to have a roundtable discussion about Inside Gaming’s favorite and least favorite video game disasters of the year. Of course, there are the usual suspects like covid related game delays and next-gen console shortages but you might be surprised to see the Oculus Quest 2 and The Last of Us 2 making special appearances.

Come hang out with us as we talk about the biggest video game trash fires of 2020, today on Inside Gaming Daily!

* Please note we are on break and this episode was recorded before the launch of Cyberpunk 2077. It’s wild to look back and see just how unsuspecting everyone was about the launch of the game and what would come to transpire. Anyways, thanks for watching, and let us know about your most notable gaming disasters in 2020 down below in the comments.

Does weed actually make you better at video games? While there haven’t been too many studies that correlate the use of marijuana with video games, a significant amount of research has been done on the substance in regards to traditional sports.

In today’s edition of Inside Gaming Daily, we are diving into some of those cannabis-related studies to see if any of the findings suggest that weed actually makes you better at video games.
