Bad Gamers Anonymous

Before Jason deep dives into Total War: Three Kingdoms, we discuss what we've been playing. SPOILER ALERT: Besides Total War: Three Kingdoms we've been playing terrible games; like, super-terrible. Then we move on to gaming news: EA's full line-up at E3, is GamePass coming for PC, Hideo Kojima might be insane, finally getting some news on Square Enix/Crystal's 'Avengers,' Pokemon watches you sleep, and lootb...

We talk about tapping each other, repeatedly.......................................................................in the Simpsons Tapped Out before moving on to talk about other dumpster fires. The Sonic move, Atari, loading times, and the WHO adding a "gaming disorder" to the ever growing list of non-real "disorders" all get discussed. Once we're done droning on about the news, we get down to brass tacks and g...

We welcome the illustrious Morgan McFly on this episode of Bad Gamers Anonymous. Morgan classes up the joint while Joe and Jason do their best to keep playing in the mud. We cover the Sony and Microsoft partnership, strange things in RDR2, the Epic Store debacle, crowdsourcing video games, and a whole slew of other gaming news. Then we get into the meat of the episode and pick Morgan's brain on all that is Battle Royales. Why a...

In this episode of BGA, we discuss the government's fixation with loot boxes, Crowley's fixation with SWTOR, Sony's idiotic attempt at copying Nintendo Direct, and the labor issue in gaming (it's a good thing Crowley isn't here for this one, because he'd explain to us and you, the listener, why we're both wrong). We talk a bit about why Randy Pitchford is insane before we review The Hand of Gilgamech!

Crowley returns as Joe is out this week. With Crowley back in the driver's seat, we discuss all the news that nobody cares about. What news segment would be complete without Crowley baggin' on Kotaku and Sea of Thieves at the same time!! It's good to be back...for just this episode. Once Jason and Crowley are done with the news, we deep dive into why Hollywood can't make a good video game movie. This list is awful. 

This week, we dive into the what the future of gaming looks like, but not before we discuss what we're playing and cover a ton of gaming news. In news, we discuss how Nintendo Labo makes you throw up (how is this news?), Cox Cable squeezing more money out of PC players, people frivolously suing Epic, and Gamestop's demise. We then jump into what we know about the next gen Playstation and Microsoft consoles, and even talk a ...

This week we discuss our recent excursion to Star Wars Celebration Chicago, some of the games we've been playing, and the latest gaming news. We then dive into the Vader Immortal and Jedi Fallen Order panels from SWCC and give you our opinions on how these games are going to turn out. 

We also put out a casting call for a new co-host as Crowley announces he's looking to take on the role of "producer" for BGA and tak...

This week, we review two retro Star Wars games: X-Wing vs Tie Fighter and Empire at War after going over a lot of gaming news. Crowley decides that 1776 was a great year and that the US education system is terrible. Joe decides he hates virtual reality peripherals. And Jason gets super salty over having to play Empire at War.

This week we cover a lot of gaming news: Free Nintendo Online for Amazon Prime members, Borderlands 3, 2 new Nintendo Switch models coming, and a ton of VR news. Once we're done debating the merits and future of Virtual Reality, Crowley lets his bad gamer flag fly as we discuss the survival/city builder game Dawn of Man.

In this episode Joe gets all fanboy over Google Stadia, Jason confuses Star Wars for Star Trek, and Crowley needs motivation. We cover gaming news: Atari faces another setback, State of PS4, Google Stadia, FFXIV expansion news, Mortal Kombat 11 beta, easter eggs in The Division 2, Valve updating Steam, and Kotaku lamenting that games are hard. Jason and Joe give a retro-review of the "good" Battlefront II before diving head...

Joe and Jason welcome skynet and algorithm based overlords; Joe says people have to be better people; Crowley points out that Xbox doesn't have VR by way of Nintendo Labo; Epic's launcher is the most invasive program on your computer; and Jason let's his Simpson's flag fly.

We start our Road to Star Wars Celebration Chicago with a review of the PS2 classic Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. Before we jump into that, we discuss all the gaming news fit to discuss: Anthem making PS4's try to off themselves, Nintendo telling game devs to tone down the money making, a long lost NES wrestling game, the ban hammer coming down full force in Apex Legends, the Division 2's massive day 1 patch on the PS4, and Goo...

Crowley and Joe give their first impressions of Tom Clancy's The Division 2 right after talking about the gaming news of the week. The PS Vita is being phased out, Horizon Zero Dawn hits 10 million copies sold, and Riot is trying not get sued. They then jump into the open beta of The Division 2 and give their take on whether you should pre-order, purchase, or pass. They also do a full review of Trials Rising...but honestly, onl...

Joe and Crowley discuss their time in Apex Legends and do a deep dive into this game. While Crowley still sucks at battle royale games, his thoughts on Apex Legends may surprise you...or not. Before they review Apex Legends, the two send their thoughts and condolences to the absent Jason, discuss Dumpster Fire '76, Red Dead Redemption 2, Bowser taking over Nintendo, and a whole slew of other gaming news!

This week we deep dive into Crackdown 3. Is it worth buying? Is it even worth playing on XBOX Game Pass? Jason and Joe get after while Crowley mocks them for doing anything with XBOX. We also take a look at the gaming news of the week: Including the layoffs at Activision Blizzard and how that may impact the forming of unions. "Quack Quack Motherduckers!"

This episode probably should have been titled "Show and Yell." After discussing Activision Blizzard's woeful financial situation, they go down the rabbit hole of whether game designers/creators should unionize. This rather lively discussion finally gets put to an end and the three of them review a couple of sniper mobile games, before reviewing separate games. Jason reviews Foundation. Joe reviews Apex Legends. And Crow...

This week we deep dive into Kingdom Hearts III, where Joe finds himself in a very negative state. We discuss the gaming news from around the web, and find out that Kotaku isn't all bad...just 99.9% bad. We also take a look at Kingdom Come Deliverance 1yr later. A truly great game from a small studio.

This week, Crowley goes off. Without Joe there to keep him in check, Crowley let's gaming journalism have it with both barrels. In his sights are Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Kotaku. Jason and Crowley cover gaming news including: Metroid Prime 4 news, Facebook ripping off kids and their families, EA's Anthem woes, and another nonsensical article from Kotaku. We then give an in-depth review of Soul Calibur VI!
