KBMOD Podcast – Episode 301

Tue, 21 Nov 2017 17:00:55 +0000

With Scott out this week, the lovable Hardballer joins us as we discuss Thanksgiving preparation, Diablo III addiction, and a whole lot about microtransactions. EA dominates the news this week for all the wrong reasons: Need for Speed Payback makes changes after getting “community feedback,” and juicy scandal surrounds the launch of Star Wars Battlefront II. This story has all the makings of a classic: the most downvoted Reddit post in history, a massive reduction of unlock costs across the board, the temporary removal of all microtransactions, and rumors that Disney forced EA’s hand. If all of that still isn’t juicy enough for you, we’ve also got the Belgian Gaming Commission investigating whether loot boxes are gambling, Marvel shutting down Marvel Heroes, and Minecraft getting new aquatic features.

We have just one viewer question this week, but it’s an interesting dive into our thoughts on the future of automation and advancing technology as it pertains to the games industry.

A Dodgeball Adventure. The viewer questions include an important ice cream flavor debate, a slightly more serious discussion about depression, and a slightly less serious discussion about egg yolks. Lastly, for the first time ever, we feature not one, but two iTunes reviews this week that you won’t want to miss.

KBMOD Podcast – Episode 228

Tue, 22 Mar 2016 16:00:22 +0000

With Scott absent, this week’s episode is a little more intimate with just Brandon, Brad, and KDZen. In this week’s news, sources point toward a PlayStation 4.5, and the cast discusses what this more powerful system could mean for VR on the console. Newly announced details for the Razer Core have consumers scratching their heads at Razer’s business strategies for all of the wrong reasons. Nvidia’s GameWorks source code is being released publicly, LawBreakers will no longer be free-to-play, The Division launches with some record-breaking numbers, Domino’s tests out a revolutionary new way to deliver pizza, and more!

The new releases section this week is full of promising titles and a couple of…unbelievable ones. Lastly, we close out the cast with viewer questions that lead us into some vigorous cake-based discussion and what might happen when Brandon and KDZen meet in real life for the first time.

KBMOD Podcast – Episode 226

Tue, 08 Mar 2016 17:00:24 +0000

This week’s episode of the cast features a man’s struggle against learning third grade-level art and a journey of fondue-related self-discovery. In conventional news, the CEO of Epic Games bashes Microsoft’s Universal Windows Platform, Quantum Break takes online DRM to a new level, and a senator notorious for blaming violent video games for the downfall of civilization was prosecuted for weapon smuggling and political corruption. Neat!

In other news, all future CS:GO majors will have a prize pool of at least $1 million, the HTC Vive seems to be selling quite well, and some evidence points towards Far Cry 4’s map being recycled into Far Cry Primal. Viewer questions are some of the best that we’ve seen in a while, including topics like permanently swapping faces with someone and fictional games recreated in real life. We finish off the cast with a couple of email submissions and an iTunes review that are truly legendary.

In the news this week, we break down the recent events involving Apple opposing the FBI’s order to create a backdoor to the security of iOS, the HTC Vive’s leaked price tag. and Black Ops 3’s multiplayer mode costing only $15 for a limited time (and what that might mean for the future of Call of Duty). Other news includes the upcoming competitive beta for Team Fortress 2, important info for TwitchCon 2016, and more! Viewers questions this week ask about baby arms, the difference between a beta and a demo, and the legitimacy of boneless chicken wings.

KBMOD Podcast – Episode 224 (Featuring Dave Oshry)

Tue, 16 Feb 2016 17:00:38 +0000

The podcast is back after a couple of weeks off, and while John and Nick might be missing, we do have a special guest appearance from world-class video game maker Dave Oshry. We’ve got a fair bit of news to cover after a two week absence: Amazon launched Lumberyard, a free game engine based on CryEngine that features built-in Twitch integration. GameTrailers is shutting down after 13 years of service, Quantum Break won’t be available on Steam, Dying Light is releasing a ridiculous $10 million special edition, and Batman: Arkham Knight is no longer coming to Mac and Linux. However, all of this news pales in comparison to the shocking announcement of a Circuit City comeback. All this news and more awaits you on this Long John Silver’s-fueled episode.

Viewer questions this week see the cast discussing their favorite convenience store snacks, naughty dreams, and the validity of socks as an article of clothing. Lastly, this week’s iTunes review is a great listen that manages to say more in a few words than most reviews do in a paragraph.

KBMOD Podcast – Episode 223

Tue, 26 Jan 2016 17:00:14 +0000

In this week’s episode, we cover the newest release in the *cough* critically acclaimed Five Nights at Freddy’s series–the newest entry was released early, but then pulled from Steam shortly after due to its “unsatisfactory quality.” Ubisoft has partnered with Elijah Wood’s production company to develop virtual reality games and other content. Other news includes your weekly CS:GO drama involving a team quitting after being asked to throw an upcoming match, Skype finally hiding users’ IP addresses by default, and more! Our viewer questions involve living inside our favorite games, the latest albums we’ve listened to, and a dad’s options for his return to gaming.

Tue, 19 Jan 2016 17:00:59 +0000

Welcome to Episode 222! Our podcast has released episodically for years now, but when the new Hitman reboot is announced to take up this release strategy, everyone causes a fuss? #DoubleStandard #WakeUp. EA’s Origin has started a new “Origin Access” subscription model for players to get access to a growing library of games that will likely not include the new Hitman for another decade or so. Amazon Prime members will now enjoy a 20% discount on most pre-orders and new games shortly after they launch. All of this news and more awaits you on this week’s cast! Twitter questions this week include a breakdown of the legitimacy of certain foods, the chance to re-experience some of our favorite gaming moments, and the validity of using your phone at a urinal.

This week’s cast kicks off with a range of topics from Brandon’s new foot hammock to Scott’s ear woes to our favorite AGDQ runs. In the news this week, we talk about pre-orders for the Oculus Rift opening at a higher-than-expected price of $599, Razer launching a new ultrabook and streamer-focused webcam at CES, the massive size of the Steam games market in 2015, and more!

KBMOD Podcast – Episode 220

Tue, 05 Jan 2016 17:00:16 +0000

KBMOD kicks off 2016 with a hilarious and memorable cast you won’t want to miss. Our news this week covers a man suing Bethesda over his Fallout 4 addiction, and another man completing the game without killing a single thing. Development on Just Cause 3’s multiplayer mod has begun, and MLG has sold a large amount of their assets to Activision Blizzard. Valve has issued a response and an explanation for the leaks of private user information that occurred on Christmas Day, and ASUS plans to incorporate Adblock Plus into their mobile browser.

Be sure to listen to our game of the year discussion, which doesn’t go quite as in-depth as previous years, but is still well worth a listen. What was your game of the year for 2015? Let us know in the comments! Twitter questions this week begin with an investigation into meat consumption, a look back at some of 2015’s best memes, and some of the cast member’s New Year’s resolutions. There’s also a surprise involving seepage of warm milk that we won’t spoil here–you’ll just have to watch for yourself.

KBMOD Podcast – Episode 219

Tue, 22 Dec 2015 17:00:06 +0000

Brandon might be missing from our final cast of 2015, but the rest of our usual cast was still able to dish out the PC gaming news that you’ve been begging Santa to bring you. Our run-time is a bit shorter than average, thanks to a rather light week of news.

It’s a Christmas miracle as Valve finally reverts the changes to rifles and pistols from the recent patch, which you can read all about from their official blog post. Riot Games is now completely owned by Tencent, and former NBA player Rick Fox is trying his hand at managing an esports team. It seems like Konami has been in our headlines for months, but this time we finally have some positive news to report: Hideo Kojima has now officially left Konami and will begin work on a new PS4 console-exclusive title. Be sure to check out the newly released schedule for Awesome Games Done Quick 2016 so you can jot down which speedruns you can’t bear to miss.

Other news this week (there’s a lot!) includes:

Our viewer questions ask about our Christmas wishes, call the effectiveness of G2A discount codes into question, and finish with a disgusting new flavor of wings coming to Buffalo Wild Wings. There’s no podcast next week, so from all of us here at KBMOD, we hope you enjoy a lovely holiday with your family and friends. We’ll see you in 2016!

KBMOD Podcast – Episode 218

Tue, 15 Dec 2015 17:00:31 +0000

This week’s podcast might be shy one APL, but his absence did not stop the rest of the team from providing you with a bottomless meme-soaked rabbit hole of PC gaming news to tumble down. Tribes Ascend received its first update in more than two years, and it is a substantial one. If your Skylake CPU managed not to crumble under the weight of your CPU cooler, then perhaps you’ll be interested in the possibility of overclocking it. CS:GO’s Winter Update introduced a number of changes, including what is likely the most controversial weapon the series has ever introduced. (Thankfully, it has been nerfed.) Other news includes a new Competitive Gaming Division from EA and the release date of HTC’s Vive VR headsets being revealed.

Viewer questions this week include our favorite kinds of milk and cookies, advice for handling stressful college finals, and the latent Christmas wishes of the team.

KBMOD Podcast – Episode 217

Tue, 08 Dec 2015 17:00:00 +0000

This week’s cast sees the usual group open with a variety of technical news, as well as a beautiful cadence of pre-meme culture memes and anti-vaccination propaganda. If you aren’t enticed enough already, perhaps the new details of Amazon’s delivery drones will pull you in, as well as the news that Adobe will no longer brand with the ‘Flash’ name, the possibility of a Windows related Xbox Live Subscription, and plans for PS4 to PC streaming support in the future. Other news includes the new function to fully remove games from your Steam library, reports of bending Intel Skylale CPUs, as well as your seemingly weekly Konami shenanigans.

It is at this point that your knees have started to buckle with excitement. Before you collapse onto your beanbag chair ready to listen, remember that our viewer questions this week are full of genius wordplay involving beef and Swedes, in addition to our gaming time put into question, and our biggest early gaming disappointments. The podcast review of the week manages to show us that our content can cure a form of measles, but also subtly hint against modern medicinal procedures.

This week, the normal crew of Scott, Brandon, John, and Nick gathers and kicks off with a recap of the games, friends, and feasts of Thanksgiving week. The news is surprisingly thick, as we discuss a winter-themed hockey mode coming to Rocket League, the release of the crazy cheap Raspberry Pi Zero, a unique punishment for a software pirate, the launch of PortablePicker, and much more! The viewer questions include some enlightening viewpoints on eating chain restaurant pizza, looking like Jared Fogle, and learning to swear. Oh, and there’s some discussion about a disturbing Tumblr page somewhere in there too.

Whether you’ve just stuffed your face at Friendsgiving, or preparing to gorge yourself this Thursday, this week’s podcast crew of APL, Brandon, John, and Nick are here to keep you company. News begins with us discussing some of the most important news of the year, the death of the appreciated and revered Zune service, Steam’s removal of Flash and Daily sales, and the newest NVIDIA GPU. Also, be sure to check out our review of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, courtesy of long-time KBMOD content creator Ajay, the Cynical Brit.

The cast has Had Enough with EA, as it’s Lights Out for Benjamin Burnley’s copy of Star Wars: Battlefront, as it was crushed Into Nothing after EA tried to pay him to promote the video game, but he Did Not Bow. Viewer questions have the cast going over alternate Thanksgiving foods in the absence of Turkey, and the timeless debate of sandwich legitimacy.

As for our iTunes review…we had nothing. Step up your game, people!

Tue, 17 Nov 2015 17:00:53 +0000

After looking into the viability of video rental stores, this week’s podcast sees the regular team back together again. The most important news of this week has to do with PornHub taking a dip in traffic with the release of Fallout 4, right in front of some interesting new VR tech that might one day become affiliated with the website itself. There’s a load of new PC hardware news, with GPU shipment results of this quarter, and the unveiling of Kingston’s 128GB RAM kits.

Other news includes:

This week’s viewers questions bring up APL’s beautiful features, creating video games with changed genres, and the importance of an early upbringing in memes.

Tue, 20 Oct 2015 19:15:03 +0000

Episode 210 is here, and it was a great one to record. This one comes to you live from our Extra Life event, and follows absolutely no format at all. We talk about our favorite moments from the LAN here in Pittsburgh, then move on to talking with all our guests who drove or flew in to experience the insanity that is a KBMOD LAN with us. The viewer questions are 100% live from the chat, and honestly they happened so quickly and were so much fun to do I’m not going to recap them for you. Just listen and enjoy.

Thanks to everyone who tuned in for the event, and an enormous thank you to Latitude 360 who put us up to raise money for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. We’ve got another Extra Life event happening on November 7th, so keep your eye on the stream schedule for when we’re live.

Welcome back for Episode 209, we’ve got a smaller, and dare I say more sensual podcast for you this week as we’re joined by KDZen. This week the news has us discussing the extension of the Star Wars Battlefront Beta, RIOT’s request for G2A sponsor logos to be removed from League of Legends tournaments, the voice actors of Star Citizen’s Squadron 42 and more.

We then take a moment to become upset about the micro-transaction schemes in both Metal Gear Online, and the upcoming Rise of the Tomb Raider. They’re bad ideas guys, don’t support them.

Finally our viewer questions have us contemplating which popular actors would portray us in a TBS sitcom, why some of you are still getting the kids menu at restaurants, and proper bathrobe cleaning etiquette.

Next week, we’ll be live from our Extra-Life LAN event on Saturday, October 17th, so if you’re one of our most loved and cherished live viewers make sure you tune in Saturday, not Sunday.

This week, we talk Wildstar’s move to Free to Play, the Oculus Rift’s price point, a spiritual successor to Burnout, and the end of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’s horrible preorder scheme. We also take a moment to get upset about how bad the new Tony Hawk game is, so maybe it’s better that we didn’t get a PC port.

The viewer questions have us pondering what movie title we’d use to describe a sex move, our proudest purchases, and the complex problem of whether or not cereal is soup.

KBMOD Podcast – Episode 51

Wed, 18 Jul 2012 16:00:51 +0000

Episode 51 comes to you smack in the middle of Steam Summer Sales. We did it live again this week and you guys did not disappoint as we had a great turnout for the show! Brandon couldn’t make it this week, so we needed two people to replace him: Mark (NikonPunch) and Jon (Hexidecimal) join us in his absence. We of course talk Steam sales to kick off the cast and then move into the news. The news this week covers The Old Republic going free to play, the re-release of Final Fantasy 7 for the PC, John Carmack’s VR Kickstarter, Epic’s return to PC gaming, Medal of Honor teasing Battlefield 4, the Planetside 2 beta and Steam expanding into applications beyond games. The Roundtable turns into a rant as we discuss Valve’s response to EA’s David Demartini. We end with your twitter questions which spark some interesting discussion this week.

Enjoy!

Episode 47 of the KBMOD Podcast is here! We don’t have Brandon this week, as he was busy with work, whatever that is.

The news is plenty this week with the frightening Amnesia trailer, Watch Dogs multiplayer aspects, Dark Souls porting challenges, the latest Diablo patch, and the return (again!) of the Black Mesa project. The roundtable focuses on Black Ops 2 this week, as numerous PC-specific announcements were made recently for the latest entry into the weary Call of Duty franchise.

Episode 46 sees a reuniting of all our regular members of the podcast: Nick, Alex, Dan, Brandon, John, and Scott!

A lot of topics are covered this week, including Matt’s take on MW3 and CS:GO (he got to play both at PAX Prime and COD XP), Blizzard’s news that there will be more WoW expansions, and the monumental failure Dead Island was on the PC for the first week of release. We rant about publishers releasing unfinished games and take your crazy Twitter questions. The podcast ends with a rendition of a song Dan, Matt, and I developed this weekend. It’s sure to be a hit for years to come.
