While Tanner deals with a heat wave, JJ is stone cold. And stone cold tired of the junk that Bethesda is trying to pull. Because Fallout 76 is basically an Early Access game. (Somehow even buggier than regular Bethesda games.) But is it a bad thing that they're held to a higher standard? And what the heck is going on with Sony? Are they really working on the PlayStation 5? (Well they're skipping E3 so you take a guess.) And Fortnite got the game of the year award. Oh the salt should be delicious on this one. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tndm/support

Tanner has finally decided to stop being a lame-ass and start recording #TNDM with JJ again. But wait! Now he's working in Hong Kong! What the hell happened there? And what in the world is Blizzard doing with Diablo? Mobile Games?! SERIOUSLY!? WTF. JJ talks about his time with Red Dead Redemption 2 and how many orders of magnitude it is more enjoyable than the generic garbage heap that is Destiny 2. The next generation of Halo it is not... Also there's a bird on skateboards. SHWEET! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tndm/support

Today for your listening pleasure Tanner and JJ interview the developer of Mutant Football League! No openings, no songs, just the interview, just for you.

In this episode JJ and Tanner talk about how Apple has dropped the ball with their new IMac Pro repair program and how it isn't fully developed and thought out. I think JJ still hates the company in general but who can blame him? The guys learn about Ashland Ohio's new scholarship for Fortnite up to four thousand dollars, that's a lot of ramen! Great news about the God of PS4... it's... Good! (However the PS4 pro companion console and controller looks like trash according to everyone's favorite commentator). Another OWL person gets hit for racist remarks and gets the hammer dropped on him and The MFL, (Mutant Football Leage) is going into overtime!

The great physicist Stephen Hawking has officially passed away. After living more than 40 years with ALS, one of the world's greatest minds succumbed to his condition. He will be missed. In our reminiscing about how he impacted our education, we wound up falling into a deep, deep hole of nostalgia. With the closing of Toys 'R' Us, we couldn't help but talk about  our memories in gaming, growing up, and more. But right as we're about to get so far down the rabbit hole we're back in Ray-Bans and Board Shorts, JJ brings a cold shock with some news. News about a New Nintendo Switch possibly coming out. What are our thoughts? Find out in The Name Doesn't Matter. #TNDM! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tndm/support

Whoa, daddy! Get ready for some controversy in this one folk. Microtransactions? Yup. Violence in video games? Yeah, we're talking about it. Sexual harassment and the need for a more inclusive environment in gaming? Yeah. We went there too. If you're easily offended, you'd better stick away from this episode of the podcast.

So on this adventure into the minds of the madness the two talk about the (lovely?) new Overwatch Hero, well Tanner does. (He really loves that game.) JJ takes Tanner down the rabbit hole with Metal Gear Survive and all the great business discions Konami made with their last good major franchise. (Don't worry it's a Pachinco machine so the spirit of Big Boss will live forever.) JJ takes us back in time to dicuss different aspects and talks about his favorite rental store which is still open and going strong. JJ also talks about how a man descends down his own masculinity to prove that he can launch a spirous DMCA strike! (Some people never learn...) Hey guys let's tax M rated games! Yeah?... No?.... Oh no..... --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tndm/support

In the latest edition of #TNDM, the guys... Well, to be honest, we're not exactly sure what they talked about. They seem to go from one topic to the next without really having any coherent thought to all of it. Except for the part where they nearly come to blows over the idea of piracy and video games.

Don't worry about episode 10! We.... lost it. But who cares, we got Overwatch League in this episode! And the PlayStation classic Spryo is getting remastered as well!
