Brotherly Love Gaming Episode 13: Xbox One SAD and PS5 Specs

Big news week as an exclusive Wired piece revealed the first specs for the PS5 (even though it's not coming for at least a year). Not to be outdone, Microsoft also confirmed the release of the XBOX One S All-Digital Edition, AKA the XBOX One SAD. We're not exactly thrilled about what it has to offer, and it turns out we have some feelings about those PS5 specs too! Join us on this journey to unpack WHAT IT ALL MEANS.

Brotherly Love Gaming Episode 12: Pokemon Memories

We’re returning to an old format this week to talk about our first memories with Pokemon, and our other brother Zack joins us. Pokemon had a huge impact on all of our lives. It helped us make friends, learn to read (me), and served as an introduction to a much larger world of gaming. We’ve grown up a lot since the late 90s so it’s easy to forget just how huge Pokemon was, but we did our best to call up those old memories!

Brotherly Love Gaming Episode 11: Is Microsoft Taking Over?

Microsoft is making some moves ahead of next week’s Game Developer’s Conference, so we break down two of the biggest headlines. First off, the Master Chief Collection is finally coming to PC, and Spence is STOKED about it. Then we finally get some confirmation that Xbox Live is hitting non-Xbox platforms, but Switch support may still be a pipe dream. Finally we wrap up with some channel talk about what we’re streaming, with a slight detour into raving about a particular Kingdom Hearts III speedrun (which you should watch at this link here: Link).

Brotherly Love Gaming Episode 10: Is the Digital Revolution Finally Here?

Today we explore rumors that Microsoft is finally preparing to release an all-digital Xbox One S. We also debate the possibility of other consoles going all digital, and how those GamePass on Switch rumors aren't panning out like we hoped. Finally we get to something Alex is really excited about - playing PS4 on his iPhone - before wrapping up with some game discussion and what we're streaming this week.

Brotherly Love Gaming Episode 9: Welcome to the World of Pokemon

It’s a Pokemon world and we just live in it this week as Spence and I break down the Pokemon Direct that gave us info on the new Gen 8 games, Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield. We only got 7 minutes of info, but there's plenty to unpack and discuss. The new region looks great, the starters are promising, and even though some lesser mechanics are returning, we're happy to see where it goes.

Brotherly Love Gaming Episode 8: End of a Nintendo Era

It's the end of an era with Reggie Fils-Aime retiring from Nintendo. It's not all gloom and doom though, as we break down some new rumors about Xbox coming to Switch (man even typing that out feels wrong but I want it. Mainly I just want to play Ori on Switch...

Later we dive into game's we've been playing - Spence has a lot of thoughts about Jump Force, while Alex has fallen completely in love with Fire Emblem.

Brotherly Love Gaming Episode 6: Nintendo Direct 2-13-19 Reaction

Today it's all Nintendo as we recap all the games announced at Nintendo 2-13-19 Direct. Spence is really excited for Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Alex has mixed feelings about Dragon Quest XI, and Tetris gets a new battle royale (yes, seriously). Join us on this journey through Nintendo's 2019 plans.

Brotherly Love Gaming Episode 5: Living Legends

This week on the podcast I am recovering from a chest cold so apologies for that in advance! We talk about rumors of Xbox Live coming to Switch, Apex Legends surprising battle royale fans, and some follow-up on Kingdom Hearts 3 (spoilers up to the 7th world).

We also announce a new Twitch stream, which you can watch at twitch.tv/brotherlyloveg1. Starting off Spence will be streaming Apex Legends, and a Proud Mode run of Kingdom Hearts 3 (he’s already beaten the game, so you get the added benefit of watching someone who knows what’s up).
