Reset: A Gaming Podcast

Monster Hunter: World came out this week, so we thought we’d give it a try. We tried killing one monster just to see what it was like. “One is enough” we thought. It wasn’t, so we killed another monster. “Two, that’s more than enough”. Two is never enough. Like Pringles, once you pop (a cap ...

Metal Gear Survive is a game in which the player needs to survive (that is; choose to continue living) after playing a bastardised spinoff of a renowned and beloved series. We’re glad to report we got out alive, if barely, and on this episode we’re going to tell our story. Melodramatic? Yeah. Overreaction? I mean.. ...

New year, new us. But not really. We’re the same old RESET, except for a bunch of changes we’re making. Resolutions, if you will. But you shouldn’t, cause we have none. Except for a few. We don’t. This episode is about the year ahead, particularly the games we’re looking forward to playing most in 2018. ...

So it’s our final episode for 2017, and you can bet your donger that we’re going to avoid discussing the year as much as possible, so as not to remind ourselves that we’re getting older and that we’ll soon be dead. Wow, dark. Scratch that, we absolutely are talking about the year. Specifically, the very best ...

So without knowing for sure that FromSoftware’s teaser shown off at The Game Awards was teasing Bloodborne 2, we thought we’d send an email to their press mailbox for confirmation. We got an almost instantaneous reply from mailer-daemon, so that seems like a pretty good sign. Oh, and we attempted a second run of Hidden ... [Read more...] The post #83 – Bloodborne 2 confirmed? Well no, but maybe. appeared first on RESET: A Gaming Podcast.

A great scholar once said “there’s no time like the present, and there’s no present like cash”. And with that in mind, welcome to episode 82. What have we been up to this last week you ask? First of all, cool it with the invasive questions. But to answer your question, we’ve been playing delish ...

It’s Awards season baby and you know what that means. Or at least we’re hoping you do, cause we don’t. Shoot us an email and let us know please. Anyway, one of us seems to have developed an obsession with terribly mediocre games and has picked up Need for Speed Payback. Spoiler alert: it’s terribly ...

Okay, so last week we said we weren’t going to buy Star Wars: Battlefront 2. Well we lied. We couldn’t help it, and now we’re on a one-way trip to h-e-double hockey sticks. We’ll say hi to the EA executive team when we get there. But in the meantime here’s a bit of a shanghai surprise: ...

Console yourself for this week’s episode cause we’re talking about gaming consoles like the lovely new Xbox One X, with a value proposition that simply can’t be beat: 6 teraflops and no games. We’ve had hands on time with the world’s most powerful console this week, so join us while we discuss the primordial question: ...

Alright, here’s the 411 folks: we’ve both passed Super Mario Odyssey and we can confirm the game is deee-lish. If you’ve got a Switch but haven’t picked up Odyssey yet, stop reading this episode synopsis and leg it to your nearest gaming outlet and hand the sales assistant a blank cheque. Actually, scratch that: listen ... [Read more...] The post #78 – Super Mario Odyssey is an absolute delight appeared first on RESET: A Gaming Podcast.

PAX is over for another year and now it’s time to cry til our tears fill up the room so we can eventually go swimming and feel happiness again. That’ll take a while though so in the meantime give us a listen, cause we’re doing a PAX Aus 2017 round-up. And spoiler alert: that means ...

It’s been a delish week: Tegan finally got her hands on the much anticipated Middle-earth: Shadow of War and Michael lost his Battle Royale virginity with Fortnite. They say you never forget your first time, unless it’s your first time forgetting something, I guess. This week we’re also discussing Golf Story, Star Wars Battlefront 2 Beta, ...

This last week, we jumped on a flight from stupid gloomy Melbourne to sunny Gold Coast to attend EB Expo 2017. And boy oh boy, what a delish expo it was.

Some people are saying Cuphead is style over substance. To those people I say ‘hush’ while putting my finger on their lips and then into their mouth to induce vomiting. To be fair though, they’re kinda right, and now I have vomit all over my hands for nothing. Whatever the case, Cuphead is still a ...

So Bluehole, developers of PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS, don’t like that Fortnite has a new Battle Royale mode. Out of spite, we’re creating a new Battle Royale game. It’s going to be called RESETPODCAST’S PICK-YOUR-BATTLES (…GROUNDS). It’s actually not a game at all, it’s just an executable that flashes the text “Bluehole don’t own Battle Royale” and then ejects ...

So it turns out our boy Mario has a pair of M’areolas. Fair enough I say, a chest without nipples is pointless. Boy oh boy, I’m so terribly sorry: episode synopses are hard, not unlike Mario’s hot aforementioned nips. This week we’re also discussing Nintendo Direct, Super Nips Odyssey, Doom and Wolfenstein 2 coming to the ...

Okay, here’s the brass tacks: we bought Destiny 2, we played Destiny 2, we passed Destiny 2. Was it worth it? Yeaah-noe? You know? You know it’s maybe. Maybe for sure. I definitely wouldn’t never say it’s not never un-worth it, if you catch my drift. How about you just stop asking all these frivolous questions ...

Despite what you may have read in the episode title, I’d like to quickly dispel some scathing non-existent rumours: our SNES did not catch fire. Well not yet anyway, we haven’t received the Street Fighter 2 re-release cartridge. But our plan is to pop it in when it arrives, place it under a giant Ryu ...

It’s been a very eventful week, so I don’t think I’m exaggerating in the slightest when I say we’ve got billions of hours of content for you in this episode. Gamescom (or ‘GamesCON’, sorry) is over and it’s left us with a buttload of trailers and announcements to talk about. And hey we’ve also both passed ...
