Join us as the credits roll, retelling many stories and adventures featuring 410wned members past and present. Friendships forged, marriages made, and of course lots and lots of video games! Infinite thanks go out to everyone involved with the 410wned Gaming Podcast, and to all of you who have listened to us all this time. We don't want to say goodbye, but we know that right now we can't give you the level of entertainment you deserve; entertainment worthy of the name 410wned. May your controllers always be charged, and may your internet connection be strong. Thank you, we love you all!

410wned takes to the studio yet again as Jackie Fingaz returns from adventures along the east coast. Rejoining Kevin, they discuss Fingaz's impressions from GamesCom 2021, many of which came after the main show so they are new for Kevin as well. New details regarding the Dead Space remake emerge, so 410wned naturally offers commentary. In spite of busy lives, some games were played and are disused. Kevin and Fingaz have a message to all of the listeners who have followed the group over the years, and what the future of 410wned will hold. You won't want to miss it!

This week Fingaz decided he needed a week off and since we both suck at scheduling that would have been 3 weeks without recording a show... So i rounded up a couple of strays for days past to help me break down the happenings of all the major gamescom events. Dak and Tom joined up again to help break down all the hot new destiny news and we broke down all the latest news from Xbox and ONL. Including our love/hate for trebuchet. Strap in and get ready for a long old fashioned 410wned.

What a roller coaster from developers this week. EA plans to focus more on their sports games and Apex Legends as sales of traditional releases decline. Apparently Take Two didn't get that memo, because they're preparing to release a whole mess of AAA titles in the next few years. The highly anticipated Sony exclusive Horizon: Forbidden West is officially delayed into 2022. Not that it really matters, because PS5 consoles are still incredibly rare. Jackie Fingaz and Kevin played The Ascent courtesy of Game Pass, so they'll weigh in on the dystopian cyberpunk twin stick shooter RPG. That's a lot of adjectives. Let's go!

It’s that time again, 410wned is back to weigh in for another week in gaming. PlayStation 5 sells 10 million units, but CEO Jim Ryan says difficulties will continue to limit production well into next year.

Hello again from 410wned! Another week in gaming down, and since E3 is over we thought we’d seen all the big stuff. Wrong.

Stuff and things happened this week in the world of video games, and as always Jackie Fingaz and Kevin are here to talk about said stuff and things. The only problem is the technology we use has become sentient and deleted all the bookmarks, so we have no idea what’s in this show. So it looks like we’re all in for a surprise this week!

After a less than favorable response from it's player base, Sony has walked back it's decision to shut down the PS3 and PS Vita stores this June. The PSP store will close as originally planned. E3 returns this year as an all digital, free to stream event for anyone, though we have to assume there will be some private media streams.

Stay tuned to see what Jackie Fingaz and Kevin were up to the last few weeks.

Xbox continues delivering on promises made, as backward compatibility comes to Xbox Cloud Gaming.
