This is a moment I will never forget. Almost 6 years into this business, and I can check another dream of mine to come true. Fresh off of getting back from the WWE2K26 event at WWE Headquarters (which was another crazy thing that happened), I was given the opportunity to interview #PatriciaSummersett. She is the first official voice of Zelda, from the #TheLegendofZelda series. The Legend of Zelda is also celebrating 40 years, and P...
Adriyan Rae is nominated for a Golden Joystick Award! We were honored to interview the voice behind Hazel Flood from the game South of Midnight. South of Midnight released earlier 2025, by Compulsion Games and Xbox. Joseph was more than excited to interview Adriyan, and this may be a cheap plug to go vote for her here.
Extra special thanks to the PR Machine Grace Topalian for the oportunity!
On this episode, Kelly is joined by two members of her adventuring party, Pepperina Sparklegem, and Tari Waves, as they discuss their history with streaming Dungeons & Dragons and what it's like to be a female tabletop gamer. Then you get a front row seat for the recap of Gen Con 2025!
When Kelly and Joe are away, the dungeon masters will play. The Gaming Nexus show gives you a behind the scenes look of how we started a Dungeons & Dragons campaign in our own slack channel. So when we say Dungeon, we mean Gaming Nexus, When we say masters, we mean Editor-In-Chief Eric Hauter, our in house IT of everything John Yan, and rapper turned Oregonean Randy McCalister. Or is it Kalista? Kalista?
Kelly and Joe are going to two of their favorite conventions. Kelly is headed to Gencon in Indianapolis, while Joe is headed to EVO in Las Vegas, and they're going at the exact same time. So Austin Creed, choose your own adventure.
Kelly and Joe talk about iconic games, the review process, and what it takes to get you out of that comments section, and into some game reviewing.
Kelly and Joe sit down and discuss the difference between a professional gamer, and a casual. The answer is a LOT of money. Plus, they quiz each other on their "expertise", and you get to pick up what you missed since you've been gone.
On this episode, Kelly and Joe talk with Gaming Nexus founder John Yan, who has been with us since 1997, and has been a fan of spoilers since before the Leonardo DiCaprio version of Romeo and Juliet. We discuss why spoilers and leaks exist, and what you should do to avoid them, if you so choose.
After a hiatus, and a lot of reclaiming a podcast, we are back! The Gaming Nexus Show is back with a new co-host, Kelly Gray! On this episode, we talk about the Nintendo Switch 2, (recorded 4-12-25), and we get to know a little bit about Kelly and what drove her to the Gaming Nexus team!
This week’s topic for The Gaming Nexus Show was difficulty. Our presentation today in three acts. Act one Eric talks about how hard it is to be good at video games, and even though he reviews games he’s not necessarily good at them. Act two Joe and Eric chat about the glory days of the original PlayStation era, back when games only had one difficulty. They break down their top five games from that system, with a bevy of honorable m...
Eric was once again allowed to pick the topic for this week’s show, he went with horses. We somehow found the gusto to put out three segments, some a little closer to the horse culture than others. We begin with a little end of the year chat about our favorite games of the year. And then Eric give us a tale of a knee replacement, and the game he will forever tie his recovery from it with. Elliot is joined by friend of the show Scot...
You read that right. This week we turned Eric's terrible idea of trucks and snakes into a podcast about video games. If you like that you'll love the next episode's word. We also give our thoughts on some of the Game Awards nominees. Max talks to Eric about a truck that meant a lot to some of us in our formidable years. Joe gives his thoughts on the game Returnal. And stick around as Elliot loses his mind over who gets to pic...
Stuck at home with a room full of people you’re not super excited to see this Thanksgiving? Your weird uncle asleep on the couch? Want something time consuming without putting in any physical work? We may have the show for you. We have a heaping portion of The Gaming Nexus Show for you this week. This week our topic was press-start. Joseph found himself pushing start on a newly purchased PlayStation 5. And boy does he have opinions...
We are finally back! After a little hiatus The Gaming Nexus Show is back and better than ever. The Gaming Nexus Show is a podcast for people who like video games but want something a little different than the typical podcast. What does that mean? Well each episode we’re going to choose a word (or sentence if you’re Joe) and bring you some stories with that as a theme. This week’s theme is loyalty. We have three stories to share, on...
Where have we been? Well we’ve been on a little bit of an unscheduled break that became more than that. We’re still going to be gone for a few more weeks, but we will return! And with our return comes a new and hopefully improved version of our show. Look for the new style on November 11. Thanks for sticking by, just a few more weeks.
We did something a little special last week. The four of us had the opportunity to speak at a panel at GDEX? Not sure what GDEX is? Well it’s a, “convention dedicated to a love of games and creative technology, located in Columbus, Ohio. GDEX features a weekend expo showcase, combined with presentation sessions, artist alleys, raffles, tournaments, and Charity events. The GDEX expo is a curated showcase of some of the most ex...
Netflix has been very shy about just how many people watch their shows and movies. That changed this week when they gave us not only the top ten most watched movies and shows, but how many hours each one has been viewed as well. Max and Eric try to guess which shows make the list without much success. We also discuss how Twitch is trying to handle curbing the hate raids. And then everyone takes a turn reviewing a recently played ga...
Did you know the Emmys took place last week? We talk about how basic cable hosted a show devoted to awarding online streaming shows and movies, and no one is surprised. Eric brings up the topic of Diablo 2 and if it’s ok to support a game that has ties to Blizzard. Joseph gets upset about rumors, even when they’re not about him. Elliot hates on old people just because they’re old. And Max brings up Catan World Explorers, a game tha...
