    I went to two World Cup matches this week, so we start the show talking about sports and the cultural exchange that is happening.

  17. 979 - 05/17/26 Bobby Blackwolf Show - Forza Horizon 6 and Mixtape Impressions

    I played through Mixtape via Xbox Game Pass and I enjoyed it - but it's not going to be my GOTY and it didn't really reflect on my personal experience growing up in that time period. But you can wait for a sale - Mixtape's music licenses were agreed to in perpetuity, so the game will not be...

    I got the Steam Controller, and give my early impressions, as well as bemoan the fact that it can only be used in Steam and not in any other PC gaming content, such as games from Xbox Game Pass or Play Anywhere. Valve is implementing a reservation queue for future shipments of the Steam…

    I was in Indiana visiting in-laws last week, and this led to a discussion of "third spaces", and a third space I wish was near me - a coffee and board gaming space in Greenfield, Indiana called Hitherto Coffee & Gaming Parlour. The Steam Controller went on sale the day after we went live (and…

  21. 975 - 04/12/26 Bobby Blackwolf Show - Mario Maker Levels Deleted Due To Hashtags, Luna Shutting Down

    I was on Jury Duty on an 8 day case. Nothing about video games and nothing really juicy, but it was a drain on me.

    At the Sony State of Play, there was a new Digital Eclipse collection released for Rayman's 30th Anniversary - and I didn't get it on launch, going back on my word that their collections were now day one purchases.

  42. 954 - 10/26/25 Bobby Blackwolf Show - Once Upon A Katamari Impressions, PS2 Launch Day Memories

    25 years ago today, the PlayStation 2 launched in the US. I recount my lonely camping out at a local store that nobody knew had PS2's, only to get a PS2 that didn't work.
