    The Game Awards!

    Adam, Mike, and David are back, baby! With a little one on the way for David (Christmas baby?), the guys kick into a beefy yule log of an episode to end 2025, with a rundown of their latest gaming conquests. David is obsessed with the surprisingly wholesome extraction shooter Arc Raiders, Adam is getting his butt kicked in the beta for Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, and Mike is solving mysteries in The Séance of Blake Manor. Next up, the crew breaks down the week’s industry-shaking news, including the massive Netflix/Warner Bros. merger, CD Projekt Red’s ambitious Witcher roadmap, and the stealth release of the Red Dead Redemption upgrade. They also take a moment to field some hard-hitting listener questions about the ethics of gacha games like Umamusume, and answer the ultimate hypothetical: "If you could implement one thing from video games into your real life, what would it be?" Finally, it’s time for the main event: The 2025 Game Awards! Now that the trophies have been handed out, the crew dissects the results. They go deep on the winners, debate the biggest snubs, and analyze the shocks and surprises from the industry’s biggest night. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

They kick off the show by discussing the games they’ve been playing recently, including Adam's thoughts on God of War Ragnarök and Alan Wake Remastered, David’s frustrations with the punishing bosses in Blasphemous 2, and Mike’s ongoing love for Marvel vs. Capcom 2—a game he has been playing for the sheer fun of causing rage quits. Along the way, Adam sprinkles in some indie recommendations, including Planet of Lana and Inscryption, while David teases his upcoming stream of Lies of P. In the middle of the episode, they announce a special ten-year anniversary giveaway of Silent Hill 2 Remake. Tune in for details on how to enter! As the conversation progresses, the trio reflects on their favorite moments over the past decade, from memorable guests to the unique community they’ve built around the show. The episode wraps up with the hosts expressing gratitude for their listeners' support over 200 episodes, while also hinting at more gaming adventures, laughs, and podcasting shenanigans to come in the years ahead.

    SBFVGS - Ep.199: Are AAA Games Dying?

    In this episode, Adam and David sit down with the handsomely-faced Eric Krueger (may his handsome face be praised) to chat about the games they’re currently playing, including Hades and Hades II, Helldivers 2, God of War Ragnarök, and Tunic. They then dive into the latest news, discussing rumors about Valve’s new game, Larian’s new development studio, and strange reports from Take-Two’s boss claiming that studios reported as shut down aren’t actually closed. Then we delve into the meat and proverbial potato of the podcast: the state of AAA game development. With all the layoffs over the past several months, we discuss whether AAA development is dying and explore the incredible momentum that indie games are currently experiencing.

    SBFVGS - Ep.197: Are Live Service Games The Golden Goose?

    In Episode 197 of SBFVGS, Adam, David, are joined by special guest PattyHayesJr! Adam has returned both to the podcast and to "God of War Ragnarok," drawn back by its narrative and action, while David has dived into "Baldur's Gate 3," experimenting with mods to enhance his gameplay experience. PattyHayesJr, on the other hand, recounts his adventures in "Fallout New Vegas," exploring its vast, post-apocalyptic world for the first time and enjoying the modding scene. Their varied experiences reflect the wide-ranging appeal of video games, from epic storytelling and immersive worlds to the creative possibilities mods offer. The meat of the discussion shifts to the burgeoning trend of Live Service games, as AAA publishers increasingly focus on this "Golden Goose." The trio unpacks the mixed bag of potential and pitfalls these games represent—when successful, they seem to print money for their publishers, yet they also risk oversaturation and consumer fatigue. Citing examples like "The Avengers" and "Suicide Squad" games, they debate the balance between monetization strategies and player satisfaction. This episode offers a nuanced look at the impact of Live Service games on the industry, questioning whether this focus benefits players or primarily serves the bottom line of publishers​ Learn more about your ad choices.
