  • Episode 121 - San Sound is Cutting Edge Audio, Squadron 42 Coming This Year?
    Jan 8 2026

    Good Morning CoinDroppers!

    Today we've got something a bit different for you. Way back in September I was invited to meet a new with San Sound. A company that was trying to capture over the ear headphone audio and put it into earbubs. We'll today after a long wait we're talking about the prototype they showed me at PAX. They sent me a demo pair and we're going to talk about it as well as some news about Squadron 42 and an upcoming Indie game!

    San Sound

    San Sound is doing some pretty amazing things with earbuds I haven't seen anywhere else. The level of audio fidelity and range in their earbuds rivals mid end over the ear headphones and their latest and greatest is coming soon! They were kind enough to partner with us and send me a pair to talk to you about so if you're in the market for some amazing earbuds definitely consider San Sound

    PACS

    Post Apocalypse Courier Service is a co-op survival game that is being made by a small studio on the UK. The game looks like a stupid amount of fun and blends the car building sim style game with a lot of post apocalyptic charm.

    Squadron 42

    Apparently Squadron 42 is complete and launching this year. Don't hold your breath but this could be a hugely impressive game and could signal good things for faithful fans of Star Citizen. With it's single player prequal to the MMO complete, and if it actually releases, this could mean a much heavier focus on the nearly 1 billion dollar game that is Star Citizen. Maybe we'll all live to see Star Citizen release after all.

  • Episode 120 - Guess Who Won The Expedition 33 Awards
    Dec 18 2025

    Good Morning CoinDroppers!

    We're back and today is our last episode of the year. A nice number 120 to round off the end of 2025. Today we're NOT discussing the insane success of Expedition 33 because everyone else already has. Instead we're going to focus on a few games that we saw at the VGAs and talk about those.

    Divinity

    How could Larian possibly top Baldur's Gate 3? Well... like this. The trailer they dropped for their next game was in a single word fan-fucking-tastic. If you missed it make sure you don't watch it with children present because it's so dark Diablo would be impressed. There isn't a lot known at this time so Zach, Chris, but we brainstorm the setting, and timeline as Larian returns to their beloved franchise.

    Star Wars Fate of the Old Republic

    a new single player RPG from Casey Hudson original creator of Kotor as well as the Mass Effect trilogy. We're finally getting Kotor 3! Maybe. Eventually. Probably. I'm sure this project wont be canceled and passed off a bunch of times right? Should be fine.

    Bradly the Badger

    Fan of Conker's Bad Fur Day? Like video games in general? Then there's something for you in Bradly the Badger. More tongue in cheek than raunchy and crude comedy Bradly the Badger definitely takes inspiration from Conker and tones down the M for Most Kids a bit.

    Quick Fire

    • A new 40v40 mil sim shooter '83 comes to Early Access next year
    • The VGAs impressions

  • Episode 119 - Bloodlines 2 Wins a GOTY?! The Biggest Disappointment of the Year Award
    Nov 27 2025

    Good Morning CoinDroppers!

    Zach is back with us with some awesome news as we discuss (briefly) the new valve hardware, two RPGS, and the GOTY nominees so with out further delay let's get into the content!

    Steam Machine

    Moore's Law is Dead did a fantastic breakdown of this new machine with what I think is probably a pretty accurate estimate on what consumers can expect to pay for this. I won't go into too much detail here but If you want more depth on the gabecube check out his video.

    Steam Frame

    This kick ass new piece of kit has me very excited to get back into VR gaming. LinusTechTips got to go to valve and put his hands on this thing hand honestly if the price point is right I'll likely be picking one of these bad boys up day one.

    FateKeeper

    Mike and I discussed our first impressions of this ambitious new project from an indie team during it's debut at the THQ showcase earlier this year and now we have some gameplay. Needless to say I'm sold already. Seeing what a small team of talented individuals can do with the UE5 engine is breath taking and while this IS just a vertical slice I cant help but hope for a true spiritual successor to Dark Messiah.

    Bloodlines 2 (not even worth linking...)

    And now for CoinDrop's Biggest Disappointment of the Year award. Vampire the Masquerade Bloodline 2 sweeps this category with it's impressive failure. Falling short of every possible mark in the worst ways the ONLY thing that this game has to hang it's hat on is it's slightly above average voice actors. Honestly this game had so much promise and the desires of an entire fandom for it to be great. Unfortunately, This is a game that needs to just step into the light of the sun and dissipate into ashes.

    MegaBonk and the GOTY awards

    MegaBonk was initially nominated for best breakout indie game when it's mysterious developer specifically asked to be removed. Why you might ask? Well, apparently this isn't their first game. However it is the first game that vedinad is credited for. So did they shoot themselves in the foot?

    QUICK FIRE NEWS

    • DuskPunk First Impressions
    • Capcom says RE Requiem wont suffer on PC like MH Wilds did. We're pressing X to doubt.
    • Soulframe Preludes update 12 coming the 25 Nov
    • Hellraiser Revival drops gameplay trailer Looks great
    • Ashes of Creation coming to Steam Early Access next month!
