Xbox's New Partnership & Nintendo's Insane Direct
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!

PlayStation Buys Bluepoint, Xbox Big TGS Updates, & Switch Pro Rumors
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's 20th Anniversary Reveals + Our Extended Thoughts On Far Cry 6
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!

Our Extended Thoughts On Avowed's Huge Leak
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.

Great show
Keep up the great work
Format falls short of original vision
After 9 episodes I really really really want to like this new format and new co-host and I just don’t. Its turned me off from all of Matty’s other content. The “tap-ins” fall way short of the original vision of putting the audience in the third seat. The questions are random or unrelated to gaming. Format would be better to invite the audience to be a part of the major discussion topic for the week. Invite “tap-ins” to ask questions or comment on whatever the major topic of the week during that discussion. They would be better with more focus; being 3-5 minutes in length; and having more variety of people actually calling in. Right now they can drag 10-15 minutes; they favor repeat callers; and are completely painful to listen to.
Matty and Paul also show their youth with jokes and stories that demonstrate less life experience. Sometimes the jokes or stories feel like they devolve into immature high school banter rather than adults talking. Paul also brings a lower energy and is harder to understand due to his lower volume levels.
Thankfully mrmattyplays fans still have Defining Duke on Sacred Symbols. Despite my dislike of the show I hope it succeeds. Matty works harder than most content creators on this space and deserves nothing less. I just won’t be a listener to this podcast until it has some time to grow into what it could be.
Some of the coolest dude in gaming
Knowledgeable on RPGs and various other types of games! Really great show!!!
