    CORE 521: Overnite

    Today on CORE, turns out those Overwatch coming to Fortnite rumors were true! We talk it about. GDC changes their name. Forza H6 and Subnautica are having a very good week it seems. Capcom is doing really well, and also dominating the digital and PC space for a company like that. Maybe FF7 rebirth is for the olds? Zelda movie has a NEW date. Check out the cool stuff in the CORE store! Scott reviews the new Steam Controller, Forbidden Solitaire, and also gets more Crimson Desert and Dungeon Crawler 1.0 in. Jon might be hooked on Diablo IV now, but had some time with Dead as Discor and Fortnite too. Beau finshed Witcher 3 Blood and Wine, Witcher 2, Stellar Blade, and a touch of Pragmata. . We also get to your calls and loads more on today’s episode of The CORE Podcast! Uncut Video: https://youtube.com/live/QHBRVj-_i0w?feature=share This is a public episode.

    CORE 521: And...it’s gone.

    Let’s get into another CORE episode today! Some quick Nerdtacular talk, and then straight into Star Fox getting a a new game, this time a remake of the N64 game! Looks neat and the price sounds like it might be right. Also, big talk about how hard it was to get a Steam Controller on launch day. Tips on avoiding family trips. Are steam machines incoming too? MK II the movie seems like it might be better than ok! We all played a lot of Diablo IV. Fans think Scott looks like Lorath. Dunno about that. Scott also played Mining Merchant, and a few other odds and ends. Beau played Witcher III, and threw people around with a giant hand in Masters of Albion! And lots more!

    CORE 520: A Salty Remake

    This week on CORE, the hosts are feeling the heat with only 42 days left until Nerdtacular 2026! Scott, Beau, and Jon dive deep into a massive week of gaming news, starting with the official launch of the Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred expansion. We break down the new classes and whether the Horadric Cube lives up to the name. How stoked are we for the Black Flag remake? Very. We also look ahead at a packed May release schedule, featuring heavy hitters like 007 First Light, Forza Horizon 6, and the Switch 2’s Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. Plus, we discuss the technical wizardry of Vampire Crawlers, the mysterious “”30-day check-in”“ from Sony, and the strange allure of Shapez 2’s new Manufacture Mode. From Resident Evil movie teasers to the ergonomics of the new Steam Controller, it’s a full show. Games we played!

    APR 20

    CORE 518: Swung Too Far

    We talk a bit about all this Windrose news in our feeds. But then to the deep stuff, like a visual grid of the kinds of gamers we are. Baldurs Gate 3 is getting modded with a remake of the original GB game, done by fans. Microsoft is rethinking gamepass, and saying its too expensive. Maybe they go with ads, bundles, and more? We kinda hate this. Rockstar got hacked and it was kinda lame what came out in the leak. Star Trek game PULLED from stores, and the larger story of running out of time on license deals. Scott and Jon played more Crimson Desert and Resident Evil 9. Scott also played Kulo Niku: Bowl Up! And some WoW raiding. Beau hit more Kiwami 3, Hades 2 Dream Dives, and Absolum. He also had some time in Replaced and Slay the Spire 2. Plus your milk bag emails and more! Uncut Video: https://youtube.com/live/TJrtOhxDFZ4?feature=share This is a public episode.
