    The Mixtape Controversy, Mortal Kombat II Movie Thoughts # 493
    May 13 2026
    They say controversy creates cash, and by-in-large that's mostly true but sometimes it can also just create a crapstorm on the internet as well. Of course, we are talking about Mixtape the newest title from Beethoven & Dinosaur that has made waves with critics and of course it has become a haven of hatred for gamers as well. Sean and Marc discuss the "it's not a real game" issue and the whole concept of paid off reviews and if that's even a thing. Does the game really deserve this much hate?

    Also, Sean and Marc have both watched the Mortal Kombat II movie and they have thoughts. Is it better than the first one? They debate.

    Plus, Nintendo raises the price of the Nintendo Switch 2, But they also announce another remake of Star Fox 64 simply titled Star Fox. Sony weighs in on their third party relationships and A.I., Mina the Hollower gets a release date, Ebay rejects Gamestop's bid to buy them pretty decisively and more!

  • Saros Impressions, Gamestop Wants to Buy Ebay # 492

    Saros Impressions, Gamestop Wants to Buy Ebay # 492
    May 6 2026
    Apologies for the one-day delay, but Sean and Marc are here to discuss what's going on in the world of video games this week.

    PlayStation had one of their two major releases drop in Housemarque's Saros, and Sean's been playing it, and he has some thoughts. What does Sean think of the game, even though he didn't play their other title, Returnal? Should gamers who aren't fans of Roguelikes try it out? Is it a Game of the Year contender?

    Also, Sean has thoughts on some other games he's been playing this week, too, such as the newly released indies Motorslice, Wax Heads, and Dead as Disco, along with a game that released last week in Soul Quest as well. Marc played a lot of Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred Expansion and checked out Forbidden Solitaire.

    Plus, Asha Sharma does away with Copilot, Gamestop wants to buy Ebay, Sony gives an answer on the DRM check-in, and it's good news, there's an Atomfall TV Series in development, Forza Horizon 6 has gone gold, and more!

  • Xbox is Back! And Game Pass Drops in Price Too # 491

    Xbox is Back! And Game Pass Drops in Price Too # 491
    Apr 28 2026
    What a difference a week makes, after all the rumors, speculation, and talk, the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass has dropped to $22.99 and $13.99, respectively, and Xbox CEO (yes, the team is also called Xbox again!) Asha Sharma dropped a major manifesto that details what Xbox wants to do going forward.

    Could exclusives truly make a return? Xbox Series S & Xbox Series X will keep getting updates, but could they also get price drops? What's going to happen with the PC and Mobile strategy? Should developers be excited about the future? According to Sharma, apparently, all of this could be on the table. Sean and Marc talk about all of the news, as there seems to be renewed hope in Xbox, but is it enough?

    You can read Sean's thoughts here: https://www.theouterhaven.net/microsoft-lowers-the-price-of-xbox-game-pass-ultimate-and-pc-game-pass-but-whats-next-for-xbox/

    Plus, Sean gives his thoughts on the ID @ Xbox showcase, PlayStation has a GOTY contender in Saros, but then angers its hardcore audience by dropping DRM onto the PSN store, Nintendo gets sued back over the tariff refund lawsuit, Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced got its big reveal, the Steam Machine controller releases next week, and more!
