    Episode 71: Are Platform-Exclusive Video Games On Their Way To Being A Thing of the Past?!

    In this episode of The Fun Waste Time, the fellas discuss whether platform-exclusive video games are soon going away.  With PlayStation seemingly more open to releasing first-party exclusive games on PC and Xbox on the verge of becoming a third-party publisher now that they own Bethesda and Activision-Blizzard, are we nearing a future where platform-exclusive video games may become a thing of the past?
    In movies and TV, the fellas discuss whether high-production fan films of pop-culture characters and properties have the potential to influence major film and TV studios to keep the “Hollywood” versions of these properties authentic to their source material.
    In addition, the movies, TV shows and video games the fellas have been watching and playing are discussed as well.
    There’s all this and a whole lot more in episode 71 of The Fun Waste of Time!

    Episode 66: Is It Too Soon For "The Last of Us 2 Remastered"?!

    In this episode of The Fun Waste of Time, the fellas discuss the “rumored” casting of Pedro Pascal (from the hit TV series The Mandalorian and The Last of Us) as Reed Richards “Mr. Fantastic” of the Fantastic Four.  Rumored casting for other Fantastic Four characters is also discussed.  If the rumors are true, do the fellas feel Pedro Pascal is a good fit for the Mr. Fantastic role?  Do they feel the Fantastic Four is a strong enough group to lead the MCU into its next phase and beyond successfully?
    In video games, the recently announced The Last of Us 2 Remastered is discussed.  Are the fellas willing to replay the game so soon after its initial release back in June of 2020?  Are the latest graphical fidelity and FPS upgrades, as well as the new survival multiplayer horde mode enough to get the fellas to spend the extra $10 bucks to experience the game again? 
    Movies, TV shows and video games watched and played over the last few weeks are also discussed.  Movies and TV shows discussed are Gen V, Goosebumps, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Scavengers Reign and The Creator.  Video games discussed are Spiderman 2, Robocop: Rogue City, Elden Ring, Remnant 2: The Awakened King (DLC) and Alan Wake 2.

Light-hearted Fun

Whenever I need a break from True Crime and the world at large, I park my nerdy ears here. Great production values. Fun, informal, conversational style with good vibes.
