#NuNews: The Rhythm of Muppets

The XboxCast ·

2023/03/10

According to Lee, Kyle sounds like a Muppet. We don't need you to all agree at once, but it is just something we thought you should know. News has happened! The charts are changing (kinda). Things are going up. And down. Even sideways! And the game that shall not be named is not in this week's charts. There is much rejoicing from the peanut gallery... The ABK acquisition is still providing endless entertainment with the EU tipped to approve the deal. All thanks to Microsoft inking the 10-year

#GameFace! The April Achievement Intro for Newbies

The XboxCast ·

2023/03/09

Yes, yes, we know. It's not quite April yet. But that hasn't stopped a lot of people asking about this year's April Achievement Challenge! Because of all the newbs joining us for 2023, and because its been a year since the last one, and because we have some new stuff to go over, we're jumping into the April Achievement Challenge hype early. Simone is kind enough to go over all the ins and outs of this year's second biggest event. The first one being that time Kyle got that haircut one

#NuNews: The Potato Conundrum

The XboxCast ·

2023/03/06

It may be our Destiny to get back into Destiny 2... The new expansion for Destiny 2 looks amazing. A cyber city on Neptune that just watched the chaos unfold from afar is now opening their gates to the guardians. Which begs the question - where were they for the rest of all the action? The Outer Worlds is getting a big upgrade. Which is a new version. For the Series X and PS5. You have to pay for it, and it has a different achievement list, but that's the price you pay for prettiness. Will this

#GameFace! Even Boys Can Spin

2023/03/03

#FriendlyFeb has come to an end. As sad as we are to see it go, we're ready for #MurderMarch! We're still talking about how moist New Zealand is after Cyclone Gabriell, but lucky for us, Lee has power. And with this power, he's only managed to play one game! How very un-Lee-like! Kyle is experimenting with Ultimate Team in Madden '23. And has gotten himself super confused. How does this game even work? No one knows. But that doesn't stop him from loving the game! And we're even educational -

#NuNews: Le Xbox Caste

The XboxCast ·

2023/02/27

Earthquakes in New Zealand are just part of the weather! Lee claims there's not much news. Now where have we heard that before? Normally he says it right before a 3-hour podcast... We're back into the charts, and games are going up and down like they do. Could there be any surprises this week? Or is COD still number 1? You'll have to just listen to find out. City Skylines got a remastered version and a Series X update. Bringing 4K60 to the console and other exciting things that you want from

#GameFace! The Words Cannot Hurt Me

The XboxCast ·

2023/02/26

Before we get into what games we're sprinkling on our breakfast, we have a very important announcement. Hawke's Bay (where we're based) was hit by a cyclone earlier this week. Power and fiber lines were cut, roads were washed away, massive flooding and a lot of devastation was left in its wake. If you're interested in seeing the fallout, check out this link. And if you feel like you want to help out with the relief efforts, feel free to donate here. We're not expecting you to, so don't feel bad

Our intro was written by ChatGPT. And our outro was too. The bots look like they've arrived What, oh what, are creatives to do? The bots are really coming for our jobs... But I think we have a little more time before it becomes a reality. So, tell us! What do you think? Do you think ChatGPT does a better job than we do? Would you want a podcast composed entirely by a bot? (The correct answer is no, of course.) What were the top 100 Xbox games for 2022? Luckily you asked, because we have the

Welcome to Season 7! Can you believe it? Because we can't. We have a lot of games to catch up on from our Christmas break and #FriendlyFeb, so what better way to start than to talk absolute nonsense. Starting with #FriendlyFeb we go over who is paying what and how a certain someone has already failed that challenge... We have some questions from the peanut gallery. I mean fans!

The Year Ahead Podcast Special

What's in store for us this year as we enter Season 7? You'll just have to listen to find out. In true XboxCast form, this was only ever supposed to live on YouTube. But our adoring fans (read: us) wanted it out in the wild for your listening ears and to help keep us accountable. Now we have to live with every claim we've made as we look ahead to 2023 and what it holds for us. From what games we're looking forward to, to our yearly events - we hope to keep the surprises coming. If you've been

#NuNews: Controller Swag

The XboxCast ·

2022/12/04

Let's get technical. And spend some time discussing our audio setup. Starfield is being compared to No Man's Sky. Again. Because clearly the gaming media have a bug bear about this. Lee is dubious about Starfield. Kyle is optimistic. Lee is going to dad-build it. Kyle is looking at what clothes will be available. At least it will make for entertaining #GameFace! episodes... We hope. The Activision Blizzard deal is still making headlines, with more waves being made by the FTC now. But with all

Are you ready for the last #GameFace! episode of the year? Don't be sad. Instead join us for our Game Awards show! Kyle and Simone got their Halo Achievement! And all it took was Lee to sit in party chat and 'encourage' us! Look at what we can do when we work together. The power of friendship prevails. Simone gives us an update on Pentiment, some controversial takes and all. She has made a friend. Some one with rickety fingers. But then he died. Oh dear... Lee has completed Geometric

#GameFace! What is a Scottish Dress?

2022/11/30

What games have we been playing? Lucky for you, we have a podcast for that! Kyle's been playing Persona 5 and tries to explain the story, the systems and the fact that the tutorial gives up around the 8-hour mark. Like a typical JRPG, the game fills up a lot of time with background tasks... Going to school, learning about things, hanging out with friends... It's quite a long process. Kyle and Simone are trying to get a hard achievement in Halo CE. Lee does not understand what the issue is. So

All the Xbox News this week. And it's all sales! It's almost like it's Black Friday... Phil "Awesome" Spencer has now reiterated for the 1,000th time that Call of Duty will remain on PlayStation. There's not tricks here. CoD will stay multiplat if the Activision Blizzard deal goes through. And Xbox even went so far as to offer a 10-year deal with Sony. But Sony being Sony have said this is not good enough. Discord voice chat is now on Xbox! And it just works! Colour us super surprised. How

#NuNews: World Famous in New Zealand

2022/11/20

We're world famous in New Zealand. Kinda. Welcome to the 'nice' episode of 2022. We have the Xbox Game Play Charts! How exciting! Who's on top, who dropped off, and where is Skyrim or GTA V? You'll never know unless you listen. Battlefield 2042 is coming to Game Pass with Season 3! Will that be enough to pull you away from COD? Or are you stuck Warfaring it up? Gungrave Gore is coming to Game Pass too! So many games coming to Game Pass. Our backlog is growing by the day. And we couldn't

Lee is going to shot some things in the face. And then go play some games. We have a product review for you! Did not expect that, did you? Lee has bought a Razer Kashi, and he's super excited to share his opinions of the device. It turns your phone (Android or iPhone) into an Xbox Switch. Perfect for XCloud! So, what are the pros and cons of having a portable Xbox in your pocket? Lee breaks it down for us. Kyle has finally jumped into The Ascent. Lee is busy dragging him through and he has

#NuNews: A Sponge of Some Sort

The XboxCast ·

2022/11/13

All the news is gone. We used it all up last week. We're sorry. It's a strange news week - there's not a lot going on. Is it because of the (unofficial) Game Awards? See, that's a call back to a joke we made on the last #GameFace! If you missed it, you'll just have to go back and listen to it. Atomic Heart is coming out and it looks awesome. Almost like a Bioshock spiritual successor. If you've not seen the trailer, do yourself a favour and watch it. Death Robots hanging around a whimsical

Kyle is having an aneurism. Maybe he should have sat this one out? It's getting to that part of the year where we're thinking about our Game Awards show. It's different because of course it is. I mean, have you heard this podcast? Are you ready to have your votes counted? Because we're going to create a form for you to fill in with your answers! Simone has finished up A Plauge Tale: Innocence and loves everything about this game! Apart from the rat noises. Those are creepy. We don't like

More news words means we're better right? We're feeling very newsy this week. Which is strange because we don't have much news. Kyle has gotten really excited about Anno 1800 coming to consoles. So excited in fact, we're recovering this news from last week! The Witcher is getting a remake. In Unreal Engine 5. Why? We offer some ideas about it. But still. Why? There are better games to remaster or remake. We're so confused. But that's pretty normal anyways. And could Halo move to UE5 too

#GameFace! No Death For Me

The XboxCast ·

2022/11/05

The semi-successful #TerrorGameToberFace is wrapping up. Now, we'll wait for next year's scary games. Lee is playing The Ascent with Cam and Keo, and in true achievement hunter fashion, they aren't caring about the story. Kyle's skin crawls at that way of life. Cut scenes are life. Simone played Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens and managed to finish the story! Good job! And there's a bunch of cut scenes at the end with easter eggs - in true Lego fashion. Some are really funny. Too bad the rest
