Mashcast END: Its Been A Fun Five Years...
This is a bitter sweet podcast. The sweet part is that this is the five year anniversary of the Mashcast. The even sweeter part is that we got Mikey Kenney and Joel Couture to join us for it. The bitter part is that this will be the last Mashcast ever. We’ve had a lot of fun over the past five...

Mashcast Special Edition: Leadership In Games
Leadership, in general, can be tough. It's not any easier when it comes to games. Guild and clan leaders are organizers, motivators, disciplinarians, and make the tough calls. In this episode we discuss what it's like to be a leader in video games, the differences between leading in PvP vs PvE...

Mashcast Special Edition: Death of the Games Press
In the late 2000's it felt like games journalism was booming, but over the past few years that feeling is starting to decline. Popular games websites are closing shop, others are expanding into other topics; ultimately becoming general entertainment websites that aren't dedicated to gaming. On…

Mashcast SE: State Of The Gaming Union 2016
2015 has come to a close and it was one hell of a year for gaming. Besides providing a steady stream of great games all year, there were some moments that stuck out more than others. Kojima and Konami breaking up, Microsoft making a roaring comeback, Gamergate showing it’s not dead, and now even...

Mashcast #168: Konami's Favorite Flavor Is Salt
Whatever happened between Konami and Kojima, Konami doesn't appear to be talking the high road. We discuss Kojima being barred from accepting an award, Nintendo NX rumors, aging console hardware, and more on this episode. Hosts: Jarret Redding, Nick Zielenkievicz Theme: "Insert Coin" - Chris…

Mashcast #167: Don't start nothing, won't be nothing.
When it comes to games, trash talk comes a dime a dozen. However, hit the wrong nerve and your internet tough talk can have some real world concequences. One reporter learned this the hard way at Dreamhack Winter. We'll discuss that, PS4 selling over 30 million units, who won Black Friday, and...

Mashcast #166: The Air Is Ripe Of Nostalgia and Blacklisting

Mashcast #165: A Little Trash Talk Never Hurt Anyone
It seems like more and more games are taking away the option of cross-team chat. This is an obvious response to the harassment and toxicity that can come along with certain game communities, but is it fair to decide to silence the other team before your game is even out? Does blocking cross-team...

Mashcast #164: Halo as an eSport?
Jarret is absent this week and Nick takes over along with Jeremy from WoW! Talk! The duo starts off talking about Nintendo's new Miitomo mobile game along with Nintendo's profits (which are looking good). Batman Arkham Knight is back on Steam, but you'll need 12 GB of RAM to play it. Can HALO V...
-
Mashcast #163: Dropping Gems
On this week’s Mashcast Jarret sees fit to give some excellent advice (if he must say so himself) to Harmonix and Konami. They both need it as Harmonix appears to be reviewing their own product positively (bad form Harmonix, bad form…) and Konami is in denial about Kojima leaving the company....
-
Mashcast #162: Money Makes the Death Star Turn
Jeremy from WoW! Talk! joins us this episode to talk a bit about the Star Wars Battlefront beta. Other than that, money was a major theme this week. Allison Road, a horror title that was heavily influenced by P.T., decided to drop its Kickstarter after being picked up by Team17. We thought this…

Mashcast #161: Oblivious
Oblivous felt like a good title for this week’s podcast, seeing that Steambox makers seem oblivious to the fact that $449.99 is too high of a starting price for any console. If the fumbles of the PS3 and XBox One should teach us anything, it’s that $400 seems to be the sweet spot for console...
-
Mashcast #160: A Lot of Stupid People Out There
Is stupid a harsh word?

Mashcast #157: Some Jokes Need Better Comedians
Jimmy Kimmel doesn’t understand Let’s Plays, so of course he makes fun of people who like them. Now the story is that gamers can’t take a joke, but perhaps if the delivery of the joke was actually funny, maybe some gamers wouldn’t be upset about it. We also discuss the composer of Destiny’s and...
-
Mashcast #156: Deja Vu
This week feels like Déjà vu since it feels like we are revisiting topics that should be long dead. Rockband is returning and dropped some info about your instruments. Microsoft if making Fable Legends a Windows 10 store exclusive for PC, and we’re pretty sure they’ve tried this before. Also,...
-
Mashcast #155: The Core is Small But Mighty
