The recent Playstation Showcase was not quite what we expected. Join Logan and Micah as they revisit the Showcase and share their thoughts on what could have made it a lot better. The guys also dig deep into Tears of the Kingdom (no spoilers, of course). In the pre-show, the guys discuss Logan's musical hype stylings, extra discussion around the Playstation Showcase, and how YouTube has made them self-concious.

The time has finally come: Tears of the Kingdom is upon us! But before we can discuss the game, we have to finish some and we did just that for this episode. We also dig in to the recent interview with Phil Spencer that KindaFunny hosted regarding Xbox and Redfall. We get into listener write-ins that forced us to watch the Gran Turismo movie trailer and we don't exactly hate it.

As the winds begin to settle and it looks like Xbox gets closer to acquiring Activision/Blizzard/King, the UK CMA throws a wrench by blocking the acquisition deal! Joy! What does this mean for Xbox?

We also dig in to the fascinating news that PS5 is selling better than PS4, which forces all those scummy scalpers to sell their overstock systems at a loss. We dig in to Patron write ins where we take a look at new contenders in the mobile cloud gaming market, discuss the games we can't help but revisit, our lack of playing the Street Fighter 6 demo, and slaying demons around Christmas time.

Xbox announced a date for both a Starfield Direct and a release date for the game. But people online are saying Starfield got delayed. We disagree. We also get into PSVR 2 impressions, Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw Demo, dream video game music projects, and remember just how solid the band Creed was (even if the lead singer went a little crazy).

Playstation and Xbox both have said some weird things during the situation with the Activision/Blizzard acquisition, most recently Playstation has made the claim they need Call of Duty to fund their games. Is this true? We also dig into the Final Fantasy XVI preview footage, gush over Hogwarts Legacy, and painfully remember Tidus' laugh from Final Fantasy X.

Feb 6, 2023
This episode marks a new path forward for TRG with a change to the format. From now on, TRG will recap major gaming news, offer our thoughts, and bring our Deer Patrons into the discussion. This episode, we kick things off by looking at how Xbox is changing things up with a more structured format of a Direct and some big layoffs that have us wondering: is it time to put Halo on ice? We also get in to our Patron write ins to give reco's of Wii U eshop games to snag before the store goes offline and why the future of gaming is primed for a return of Smell-o-vision.
 
Oh, and we are starting a Marvel Snap podcast that launches next week.

God of War Ragnarok is a meaty game. To help us discuss the themes, we brought on friend and Patron of the show: Nate McKeever (Backlog Breakdown). Before we get into the show, the preshow sees us discussing the recent news surrounding Xbox's layoffs and wondering just what is going on over there. The show proper sees us hinting at future content (including a new podcast) along with discussing the theme of obsession and parenthood as it relates to the characters in God of War Ragnarok. Buckle up. This is a long but rock solid episode.

In an effort to course correct from Metal Gear Solid 2, Hideo Kojima goes outside of the box and brings us Metal Gear Solid 3 on the Playstation 2. MGS 3 foregoes the complex sci-fi narrative of MGS 2 to give us a straight forward story about when the lines between duty and honor get blurred. Join us as we deep dive discuss what is quite possibly Hideo Kojima's magnum opus.

You ever just fire up your game system, look at the games and shut the system off because you don't feel like playing anything? We've all experienced burn out in gaming to a degree. But not all burn out is the same. Matter of fact, it might be a sign of something else going on that needs your attention or it might be time to try out something new. This week, we dig deep into burn out and discuss our seasons with it.

In 2001, Metal Gear Solid 2 was released on the PS2. While it was largely considered a smash hit, it was also very divisive. And, strangely, prophetic in it's themes of digitization of information and the pursuit to control it. While we didn't quite grasp the game's complex themes back then, in 2022, it's all too eerie at how timeless it has become. Sound of the Raign returns to join us to break down Metal Gear Solid 2.

With the recent report that almost 80% of games purchased on PS4 & PS5 are digital, on top of recent reports of games being delisted, it's caused some concern about the future of digital in gaming spheres. This week, we discuss the pros and cons of both digital and physical, the fear of a future where we own nothing, and why Twitter is a weird, weird place.

A question that comes up from time to time within the TRG community is, "How do I get my wife to play video games". Well, today I (Logan) sat down with my wife to ask her what games she enjoys, how she got introduced to gaming, and how is it that she is so much better at games than I am. We also go over some of our favorite memories gaming together, which is often at my expense. (Look at the art for this episode, for example)

When you discuss seminal pillars of gaming, Metal Gear Solid will always come up. In several ways, it changed the gaming landscape through creatively immersing players into the world of Shadow Moses, Solid Snake, and Metal Gears. Not only that, MGS pioneered stealth games, thrusting them into the spotlight with a cinematic flair. Despite what you may think of Kojima, it's impossible to deny the genius of the game's design.  

But hidden underneath Metal Gear Solid is good bit of philosophy. Is violence a sport? Can love bloom on the battlefield? Can we resist our genes? Join us as we discuss this masterclass of game design as we break down Metal Gear Solid/Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes.

The Reformed Gamers is the show all about theology and gaming. Every now and then, we dedicate an entire episode to something theological focused. Last year, TRG did an episode on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Having this message is great but the next question is: what do we do with it?

Joining Logan on this episode is Dr. Matt Queen, Associate Dean of the Roy J. Fish School of Evangelism and Missions and Professor of Evangelism at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Dr. Queen also holds the L.R. Scarborough Chair of Evangelism. Dr. Queen not only talks a lot about evangelism and invests time in equipping the saints to share the Gospel but he spearheads many evangelistic efforts at SWBTS and his church. In this episode, Dr. Queen discusses the importance of evangelism, the fears that keep people from sharing, and the many ways we can share the Gospel, whether in person or online.

You can get in touch with Dr. Queen:
