If this hits that right price point, I’m am so in! Easier access to play the Steam library on the couch is very nice

The PlayStation Plus Game Catalog lineup for November includes: 💰 Grand Theft Auto V 🚗 Pacific Drive 🌊 Still Wakes the Deep 🪖 Insurgency: Sandstorm …and more. Full details: play.st/43NtckL

Okay okay…hear me out. This isn’t great and sure I’d like the full game on the cart, but I’ll take this over just a piece of paper in a box ANY DAY! For me it’s still a physical thing I am putting into my console, and that’s all I really care about imo 🤷🏽‍♂️

Two HUGE franchises! 👀 In this month’s Get Rec’d episode, Jared is joined by @andresplays.bsky.social to swap gaming recommendations and discuss Halo 2 & Final Fantasy 16. We also yap about reviewing games and content creation 😊😆 creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

I can already feel the price of this hurting my wallet.

Okay NOW I know I’ll need have a Switch 2 by March. Ain’t no way I’m missing out on Pokemon Minecrossing.

Yes! Give me more Mario Movie!!

Think I found a setting somewhere inside Podbean to permanently stop these. If anyone else hears ads like this on next week's show, let me know and we'll just turn off ads all together. I like making a meager amount of ad revenue for all the work that goes into the pod, but not at that cost. Fck ice

Things are heating up with @andresplays.bsky.social tomorrow! You’re not going to want to miss this one.

Whoops played for 6 hours yesterday. 😬 #legendsza

And that’s a wrap on Legends ZA 🫡 What a cool ending. I hope they continue the Legends series and build off of more existing lore. Legends ZA was essentially an X and Y sequel and I love it.

I’m live on Twitch, babes 💜 It’s been a rough day and I’m feeling a little fragile, so change of plans; we’re playing Egging On today! twitch.tv/aspecificegg

So…I don’t like Fallout 4 😅 I played it WAY back at launch, had my heart broken with the clunky town building, and eventually just put it down a couple hours in I never gave it a fair shot, and I think it’s time to mitigate that Starting the 2026 backlog early 🤫 don’t tell @tftblpod.bsky.social

Yes my gaming rotation tonight was Hatoful Boyfriend and Battlefield 6 thank you very much.

I did not even catch the surrounding part makes the shape of the pre evolution 🤯

More Legends ZA DLC info tomorrow. Release date? More new megas? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Okay it might be time to grab a PS Portal now! 👀

What’s another Marvel Franchise that would be cool for Insomniac to tackle. For popularity reason, they would probably do something like Iron Man next.

Shout out NY. 🫡

Here’s what’s coming to Play Along in November. More Need for Speed Heat ✅ Talking Final Fantasy 16 & Halo 2 with @andresplays.bsky.social ✅ And @aspecificegg.bsky.social and @sidlexia.bsky.social join Jared to talk everything Legends ZA ✅ A stacked month with amazing people 😊🫶🏽

Some Vietnamese food and Fortnite is going hard right now 😋🤤

Just know that if your game has even the most benign jumpscares, I will fall off my seat. Featuring Riddlewood Manor by @peanutbutton.bsky.social!

“I hope this hurts” Happy Halloween Eve everyone! 🎃 Get into the spooky vibes with our most recent episode where @djstormageddon.com joins us to breakdown the first-person sci-fi horror game, MOUTHWASHING. LISTEN HERE: creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

This is going to hold me over until a new one! Time to start a brand new island on Switch 2 😊

Had SUCH A BLAST talking with the Gaming Duo boys and the little rank the video game logo at the end was so fun!! Which do you deserves the number 1 spot out of these? 🤔

YES MORE INSIDE!!!

So there were various reasons why I canceled my GamePass sub, but honestly, not having a looming library of games accessible to me at all times has kind of been nice. It’s taken away the decision paralysis I usually get when decided what to play.

It’s weird. Lately I’ve been seeing friends posts more on the “Discover” page here than the “Following” one 🤔

Transistor was one of my go to games back on the Vita! So good and looking forward to giving this one a listen! 🔥

Side Quests is back and this episode's host is streamer, writer, actor and singer living in the city of Cloudbank, @neonsaline.com! The game they are talking about today is Transistor by @supergiantgames.bsky.social! funandgames.libsyn.com/side-quests-...

I’m going to buy this on PS5 just to see Master Chief on the front cover of a PS5 game. Very excited for this!

Happy Friday everyone! 😊 Need for Speed photo mode is so much fun.

Hi everyone! In case you missed my Kirby Air Riders Direct 2 Reaction, I have my reaction on the second channel! ⭐️ This is truly a game that I'm going to be playing for YEARS! Let me know what you're excited about most for Kirby Air Riders in the comments! 😁 youtu.be/86W3tAlDgHM?...

Fallout 4 is one I picked up and fell off of pretty hard. A game that I actively say I dislike. But, I don’t think I ever gave Fallout 4 a real chance and so it’s on the backlog to try again for next year. Who knows, maybe I’ll pick up this version for Switch 2 (depending on the price) 😅

After now seeing all of the mega starters, I am justified that I made the right choice 😆 #legendsza

Seeing some Outer Worlds 2 reviews give low scores because it's published by Microsoft is truly disappointing. First, the passionate teams at Obsidian have nothing to do with MS's decisions. Second, MANY games are published by corporations doing less than stellar things. Judge the GAME itself.

Yes!! This is going to be a good one! Can’t wait 😊 Please go check out @datewithuspodcast.bsky.social if you haven’t. Great show!

BOO! We're doing a Halloween special! Join us in welcoming @katerblossom.bsky.social to the show to round out our cheeky No Small Dates crossover month for this Halloween season! We'll be playing First Bite by @firstbitegames.bsky.social and getting into the nitty gritty of becoming a vampire.

A little over a year since most of us fully migrated from the cesspool that is Twitter. The lack of moderation, constant hatred and indirect support of its vile CEO made us look for a better alternative. While Bluesky is not perfect, I'm grateful to have connected with so many of you amazing people.

10 games to get to know me!! 🎮

What’s most exciting about these new megas in ZA is that we will get to see them show up in Champions in a more traditional battle styles.

Ready for our new season tomorrow!🔥 #needforspeedheat

Started Need For Speed Heat so I can join in with @playalong.bsky.social as they play it for the show & my early impressions are… it’s fine. I haven’t played a NFS game since Hot Pursuit on the 360 which I remember liking. As for this I’m curious if I’ll enjoy it more as we go. I guess we’ll see.

Just had an awesome recording with the one and only @djstormageddon.com on Mouthwashing 😁🔥 Look forward to that one in a couple weeks 👄🧼

let’s play more elden ring!! ☆ ☆ twitch.tv/pixelmoonjelly

We are taking it to the streets for our last book club game of 2025! Here’s the Need for Speed Heat season breakdown if anyone wants to play along with us 🔥🏁

It’s funny because this was the first thing I thought of when going around some of the buildings in ZA 🤣
