  • CORE 498: Law of Threes
    2025/11/29

    Scott dropped a Patreon vs Core.show support comparison video—check it at Core.show for the breakdown. Also posted an article about RAM prices going absolutely bonkers right now. The advice? Wait it out. Don't be the person overpaying because you can't control yourself.


    News Roundup:

    WoW: Midnight Gets Real

    Jon brought the news: World of Warcraft's next expansion drops March 2nd, 2026. Mark your calendars, prepare your excuses for missing work.


    Half-Life 3 Copium Intensifies

    People—including "insiders"—still think HL3 is getting announced this year. Spoiler: It's not. It never is. Stop doing this to yourselves.


    CD Projekt Reality Check

    • No Witcher 4 or Cyberpunk 2 at the Game Awards. Shocking absolutely no one.
    • Cyberpunk 2077 hit 35 million copies sold, outpacing The Witcher 3's trajectory
    • Cyberpunk 2 is still years away. Hang in there, chooms.

    How does anyone make a definitive list of the best games? It’s impossible, but we talk about the latest attempt anyway. Plus, Remedy losing their CEO after Firebreak did so poorly, and Vampire Survivors adds DLC to DLC.

  • CORE 491: Goes Up & Down
    2025/10/09

    Straight into Hades II gameplay talk! Covering the “rat boss,” progress paths, end-game challenges, and tarot upgrades, all leading up to some admittedly broad comparisons to ARPGs and roguelites. Design depth, storytelling, and character reactions, Greg Street’s studio troubles, praise for Megabonk. Not to mention the mess that the gamepass changes continue to be. Sackbird Studios has our hopes. Make your own VR headset at home and WAY MORE STUFF!
