In Episode 3 of the Dual Comm Podcast, we dive into the ultimate holiday gaming guide! From Steam Winter Sale steals like Celeste and Mass Effect Legendary Edition to must-play Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox titles, we've got something for every gamer this season. We also tackle the concept of replay value: What makes a game worth revisiting, and how do we decide when it’s time for another run? Plus, we explore why more gamers are watching content about games rather than playing them and share thoughts on remasters done right (Legacy of Kain, anyone?). Finally, we discuss the collapse of xDefiant and whether free-to-play shooters can ever dethrone the big players. Join us for another chill discussion! Thanks for all your support on this show and have a wonderful holiday and New Year!

Are gaming backlogs a bad idea and a source of unnecessary stress? EposVox and I tackle this question in Episode 2 of the Dual Comm Podcast, diving into whether backlogs are helpful for staying organized or just another source of guilt. We also explore Sony’s PlayStation Mascot Problem, discussing what happened to beloved franchises like Crash Bandicoot, Sly Cooper, and Twisted Metal. Our conversation touches on holiday gaming memories, from unwrapping consoles like the PS3 and Xbox 360 to the cozy vibes of old Pokemon games. Later, we debate the value of PC setups versus consoles for chill gaming, share why firsthand experience matters when discussing games, and say a heartfelt goodbye to Battlefield 3 on Xbox 360 and PS3 as we reflect on its multiplayer legacy.
