2v1 is still gathering their thoughts on E3 2017 and trying to play catch-up during a busy summer. Josh abandons his post leaving Nick & Alex to talk more Little Nightmares (and why everyone should play it). Nick takes a chance with Evil Within and finds it oddly enticing, the duo clarifies some E3 news, and answers your emails. Also discussed: Tekken 7, Metroid, Mario Kart & the Nintendo Switch, Hitman & Gamestop 2v1podcast.com Send your questions, qomments or qoncerns to: feedback@2v1podcast.com Youtube: bit.ly/2mU2cZs Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU

The video game info dump of the year is over and 2v1 is here to summarize what everyone's been waiting for: E3 2017. EA shows off sports as usual but has a nice surprise with A Way Out. Xbox One X is annoying to say and fails to provide reason for $499. Ubisoft continues to combine everything they've ever developed into every future game. Sony shows more of what we've seen before except a Shadow of Colossus remake. Nintendo delivers because Metroid lives. 2v1podcast.com Send your questions, qomments or qoncerns to: feedback@2v1podcast.com Youtube: bit.ly/2mU2cZs Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU

Although a bit of a slow time of year (pre-E3), the 2v1 gents continue to discuss games they're playing and what you should be checking out. Nick finishes 2015's shortest AAA game of the year, The Order 1886. Alex is trudging through A Game Which Shall Not Be Named (Andromeda). Josh starts Horizon: Zero Dawn, and joins Nick for some surprisingly fun yet crushingly difficult Killing Floor 2 (free PS+game). Oh, and Playstation 4s Share Play is still amazing. Be sure to catch our E3 recap episode which will post this week! 2v1podcast.com Send your questions, qomments or qoncerns to: feedback@2v1podcast.com Youtube: bit.ly/2mU2cZs Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU

Everyone at 2v1 is in between the big releases, catching up on backlog and looking ahead to E3. The Nintendo Switch is functional online but we get a glimpse at the future with the asinine Splatoon 2 headset reveal. Alex finds Arms surprisingly fun and Just Dance costly. Josh is unsurprisingly let down by Strafe. Nick falls in love with Tabletop Simulator & Netrunner. Also discussed: Twilight Princess, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, Phantom Dust and E3 predictions This week's ending track from Strafe's OST by ToyTree: https://toytree.bandcamp.com/releases 2v1podcast.com Send your questions, qomments or qoncerns to: feedback@2v1podcast.com Youtube: http://bit.ly/2mU2cZs Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU

It's another packed week for 2v1: Far Cry 5 is confirmed American, Dark Souls 3: The Ringed City is the last we'll hear from Souls (RIP BEST FRANCHISE EVER) but the Board Game carries on the spirit of the series. Alex picks up a Nintendo Switch. Dragon's Dogma gets a re-release on PS4, LawBreakers is also announced for PS4, Gwent heads into open beta and the Arms Test Punch is...interesting. Nick & Josh end this week with a longer discussion on The Surge. 2v1podcast.com Send your questions, qomments or qoncerns to: feedback@2v1podcast.com Youtube: http://bit.ly/2mU2cZs Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU

Another packed week at 2v1 brings talk of medieval torture devices, late-night Korean spas and bad TV show endings. But really this show is about video games and 2017 keeps piling the titles high. Destiny 2 had a gameplay reveal and while it's definitely still Destiny, there's much to discuss. Nick & Josh are crawling through the newest soulslike, The Surge, and finding it to be rather special. Alex conquers Bloodborne and Nick gets another chance to play LawBreakers. Also discussed: Strafe, Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment and miscellaneous news of the week. 2v1podcast.com Send your questions, qomments or qoncerns to: feedback@2v1podcast.com Youtube: http://bit.ly/2mU2cZs Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU

The roguelike genre has its hooks in Nick with Strafe and Tumbleseed. Alex enjoyed Little Nightmares and is unsure about TellTale Batman. Josh is still in love with Nier: Automata. Nick & Josh are still enamored with PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (watch them play here: http://bit.ly/2pMnZo4), Forza Horizon 3's Hot Wheels expansion is fun and Beam is a nice feature on Xbox One.

Nick & Josh are still trying to reach #1 in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Alex dives deep into Axiom Verge. Nier: Automata continues to be impressive. Sony is having a of a year for exclusives, the first round of Zelda: Breath of the Wild DLC is revealed, the Witness is tough to describe, and Chik-fil-A has tiny restaurants. Also discussed: Mass Effect Andromeda, Darksiders 3, Beam, Scorpio's FPS display 2v1podcast.com Send your questions, qomments or qoncerns to: feedback@2v1podcast.com Youtube: http://bit.ly/2mU2cZs Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU

It's a jam-packed week with 2v1 as the Early 2017 Video Game Deluge continues to flow and Nick, Josh and Alex are joined once again by long-guest Cody. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a fascinating massively-multiplayer shooter survival game that gives Nick & Josh crippling anxiety. Everyone played the demo for Prey and found it to be lackluster. Josh begins Nier: Automata, Alex begins Little Nightmares, Nick begins to find issues in Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Also discussed: Early Access games, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the Witness, Dungeons & Dragons, balancing trading card games, and more. 2v1podcast.com feedback@2v1podcast.com Youtube: http://bit.ly/2mU2cZs Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU

Nick & Alex have a valid reason to talk about Dark Souls after having more time with the Ringed City DLC. Nick falls in love with Nier: Automata. Josh is addicted to the Witness. 2v1 also discusses: Final Fantasy XV's first dlc with Gladio, Code Vein and how Nick thinks it's side scroller when in fact, it isn't, and the possibility of a SNES classic. Nick & Josh wrap up their Mass Effect: Andromeda spoiler talk (around 1:01:00). 2v1podcast.com feedback@2v1podcast.com twitch.tv/lostinacontraption Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU

The real world has interrupted 2v1's time for games this week though there's still plenty to discuss. Nick & Josh are still plowing their way through Mass Effect: Andromeda's campaign but everyone suddenly lost interest in multiplayer, Nick gets started with Nier: Automata, Overwatch's new event, Uprising, is cool. Card battlers are still relevant, Snipperclips is surprisingly fantastic, Zelda: Breath of the Wild is still compelling and the NES Classic is discontinued. 2v1podcast.com feedback@2v1podcast.com twitch.tv/lostinacontraption Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU

The Xbox Scorpio specs have been revealed, leaving many to ask "what do these numbers really mean?" 2v1 discusses the possibilities Scorpio may hold for Xbox's future, how it compares to PC hardware, and more. Drawn to Death is this month's Playstation Plus game and it is incredibly mediocre. Everyone is still trying to figure out how they feel about Mass Effect: Andromeda. At about 1:00.00, Alex departs leaving Nick & Josh to go all-in on Andromeda spoilers (though really there's nothing to spoil). 2v1podcast.com feedback@2v1podcast.com twitch.tv/lostinacontraption Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU

2v1 Guestcasts continue this week with friend of the show, Theo. There's much to discuss (complain about?) with Mass Effect: Andromeda. What exactly are the Angara? Why are the Kett so murderous? Who can take a patchy beard serious? The new Dark Souls 3 DLC, the Ringed City, is intense. Zelda is really good. Destiny 2 got announced and Theo drops a non-bombshell about Final Fantasy XV's plot as compared to Interstellar. Most importantly: Dr. Dre is confirmed to be an NPC in the world of Final Fantasy. 2v1podcast.com feedback@2v1podcast.com twitch.tv/lostinacontraption Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU

Please enjoy this bonus segment from episode 116 where 2v1 discusses the ending, implications, and world-building of Horizon: Zero Dawn. Obviously spoiler heavy, but there's plenty left unsaid for players to still discover in this wonderful game from 2017. 2v1podcast.com feedback@2v1podcast.com twitch.tv/lostinacontraption Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU

2v1 once again welcomes a guest this week with their friend AJ. Everyone had a chance to touch a Nintendo Switch, with Nick & AJ happening to track one down for purchase. The gang discusses the console's appeal, Joy-con de-syncing issues (and fix), and how 1 2 Switch can actually be fun. Nick confirms Zelda: Breath of the Wild is worth the hype. The big release this week, Mass Effect: Andromeda, is divisive among Alex, Nick & Josh. Is it okay for an established franchise to step so far backwards, technically, for the sake of being a new entry in a loved series? Also discussed: your emails, Final Fantasy 6, Logan, and Alex's own experience with Patreon 2v1podcast.com feedback@2v1podcast.com twitch.tv/lostinacontraption Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU

2v1 welcomes back long-guest Cody to step in while Alex is away. Zelda: Breath of the Wild's appeal is difficult to describe but has Cody completely engaged and Nick covets Cody's Nintendo Switch. The release of Mass Effect: Andromeda draws near. Nick & Josh take advantage of EA's early access to a complete game by signing up for EA Access/Origin Access in order to dip their toes into multiplayer and campaign. Nick completes Horizon: Zero Dawn and found it to be OK. Lawbreakers returns to beta and has Nick interested again. Also discussed: Craigslist, Dungeons & Dragons, Colin Moriarty's departure from Kinda Funny and news. 2v1podcast.com feedback@2v1podcast.com twitch.tv/lostinacontraption Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU

After only a week since Nintendo Switch's launch, Nick is fed up with the hunt to find a console. But Zelda: Breath of the Wild is alluring. Alex falls in love with Uncharted 4 and finally experiences Journey, Josh is exclusively playing the Final Fantasy series, and Nick is still unsure about Horizon: Zero Dawn. Also discussed: Halo, RE7 DLC, Nioh, Craigslist and indie games. 2v1podcast.com feedback@2v1podcast.com twitch.tv/lostinacontraption Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU

Horizon: Zero Dawn is cool, Halo Wars 2 is cool, Resident Evil 7 continues to deliver with DLC and the Nintendo Switch is here. Josh is still playing Final Fantasy XV and Nioh never ends. 2v1podcast.com feedback@2v1podcast.com twitch.tv/lostinacontraption Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: @2v1Podcast iTunes: apple.co/1IaaKUU
