Send us Fan Mail This week on the NickMoses05 Gaming Podcast, we break down one of the wildest weeks in gaming news. We start with Gaming Gone Wild, covering Pokémon card burglaries, illegal gambling arcade raids, smash-and-grab break-ins, and a classic game store burglary involving Pokémon cards worth way less than the damage caused. Then we get into the latest Stop Killing Games updates, including California’s Protect Our Games Act and what it could mean for digital ownership, refunds, live-service shutdowns, and the future of games players paid for. We also look at Glitch, a new TikTok-style gaming platform built around instant browser play, social discovery, and low-friction game access, plus whether a platform like this can actually work in a world dominated by Steam, Game Pass, YouTube, Twitch, and TikTok. Dude, I Got the Munchies returns with Costco chicken tenders, Taco Bell’s Cantina Chicken Mexican Pizza, Krispy Kreme’s Orange Dreamsicle doughnut, Keebler’s Marshmallow Fudge Stripes, Nerds x Mother’s Cookies, and the Washington Nationals’ viral hotdog fries. For Games of the Week, we dive into the drama around Forza Horizon 6 and Subnautica 2, including early access controversy, leaked builds, massive player counts, 8,000-year bans, co-op hype, and a $250 million legal battle. Finally, Choose Your Fate closes the show with “The Generational Leap,” featuring classic vs. modern matchups like Super Mario World vs. Super Mario 64, Resident Evil vs. Resident Evil 2, GTA San Andreas vs. GTA V, and Ocarina of Time vs. Breath of the Wild. Drop your takes in the comments and let us know which stories, games, and matchups you’re riding with this week. 0:00 Show Intro 4:32 Gaming Gone Wild Begins 5:59 Pokémon Card Store Break-In 12:21 Charlotte Illegal Gambling Arcade Raid 18:08 Chicago Smash-and-Grab & Gaming Machine Break-Ins 26:25 Mechanicville Game Store Burglary 34:39 Stop Killing Games Latest Updates 48:22 California Protect Our Games Act 49:24 Digital Ownership vs. Game Publishers 1:07:32 Glitch Gaming Platform 1:07:46 Can a TikTok-Style Gaming Platform Work? 1:09:38 Ludocene Game Discovery Test 1:12:21 Dude, I Got the Munchies Begins 1:12:33 Costco Chicken Tenders Controversy 1:15:12 Taco Bell Cantina Chicken Mexican Pizza 1:15:19 Taco Bell’s New Jalapeño Citrus Salsa 1:18:03 Keebler Marshmallow Fudge Stripes 1:18:13 Walmart Exclusive Snack Drops 1:20:14 Krispy Kreme Orange Dreamsicle Doughnut 1:20:23 Limited-Time Krispy Kreme Deal 1:21:47 Nerds x Mother’s Cookies 1:22:02 Sweet & Tangy Frosted Cookies 1:24:31 Washington Nationals Hotdog Fries 1:24:44 Viral Stadium Food Debate 1:30:04 Games of the Week Begins 1:30:07 Forza Horizon 6 Drama 1:31:16 Forza Leak & 8,000-Year Bans 1:32:42 Subnautica 2 Takes Over Steam 1:32:46 Subnautica 2 Co-Op Hype 1:35:14 Subnautica 2 Legal Battle 1:35:19 $250 Million Publisher Drama 1:37:57 Choose Your Fate Begins 1:38:09 Super Mario World vs. Super Mario 64 1:41:21 Resident Evil vs. Resident Evil 2 1:41:31 BioShock vs. BioShock Infinite 1:42:32 GTA San Andreas vs. GTA V 1:44:14 Ocarina of Time vs. Breath of the Wild 1:50:35 Final Thoughts & Wrap-Up Support the show
