The Game Junction Podcast

The Game Junction Podcast with Brandon Hurles & Mark Trobough is here for episode 84. Ever wondered how a sudden snowfall in May could be just as surprising as the twists and turns of the gaming industry? Buckle up, as we navigate through the stormy skies of layoffs, community uproar over Helldivers 2, and the controversial cross-platform account requirements that have PC gamers up in arms. We'll also be celebrating the indie scene's shining stars like Animal Well, discussing Microsoft's mobile gaming strategy, PlayStation doesn't Know What They Want for the PS5, and Nintendo's latest nostalgia-fueled endeavors with Switch Online.
This week, prepare to laugh and reminisce with us as we revisit the golden age of comedy and 90s pop culture, while I share my victory against a Dark Souls-like challenger and Silver Blade's successful debut. We'll reflect on the importance of preserving the games that have shaped our experiences and applaud the new inductees into the Video Game Hall of Fame. Plus, we'll take a moment to appreciate the art of Pokémon card collecting and the unique satisfaction it brings.
