07 Acquisitions, Steam on Deck, and the power of the Elden Ring
1h 25m · PublishedNOTE: Unfortunately, we had some connection issues that led to a lot of audio drop outs. I think the conversation was great so we're sharing it none the less, but we apologize for the audio and we will implement a better recording solution for next time.
We're back! Slumming with us for this special occasion is Nick from Literate Gamer to discuss the insane acquisitions of Bungie by Sony and Activision-Blizzard by Microsoft and what it might mean for the gaming community. We also discuss the launch of the Steam Deck, and last but not least dive into the controversy surrounding From Software's magnum opus, Elden Ring. Is it bad-ass, broken, or a little of both? Listen to find out.

05 The Price of [PC] Gaming
54m · PublishedTrevor and Kenny return to bemoan the current state of PC hardware prices. Why is everything out of stock? Why are prices so insane? Should you buy a pre-built gaming PC? And most importantly, will this nightmare ever end and prices get better? Who knows, but we talk about it anyways.

04 - Steam's on Deck, and Industry Trends are Changing
51m · PublishedValve's surprised the world with the newly announced Steam Deck. Trevor's stoked while Kenny's unconvinced. Also, Assassin's Creed is going MMO? And with Sony acquiring a well-respected PC port studio, does this mean we can anticipate more Sony IPs on PC? Lots of news to cover and discussion to be had as online, live-service games continue to be the darling of major publishers.

03 - Sticking the Landing
45m · PublishedBack from the abyss, Kenny and Trevor dive into games and their first-impressions. Trying to figure out why some pull you into their world so strongly that you forget about time while others just can't seem to stick the landing no matter what, the guys discuss some of the games that maybe failed to put their best foot forward, and how sometimes they're worth the wait.

02 - The Cyberpunk Discussion
1h 25m · PublishedNOTE: Apologies in advance for some of the annoying background audio. Still trying to figure the whole audio thing out.
Kenny and Trevor dive into the most infamous games of this past generation. We talk about what we liked, what we didn't, and what we think happened to a game that seemed on track to be a masterpiece but ended up feeling like a misfire.
01 - Do consoles still need generations?
1h 7m · PublishedSilicon Vets: Rebooted
#01 - Do consoles need generations?
The traditional console business model calls for a new machine and architecture every 6-8 years. But has the game changed? Does legacy support limit new gaming experiences? Join Trevor and Kenny as they discuss the advantages and drawbacks to the console gaming generation, PCs, and the march of technology in gaming in a laid back, conversational environment.
