    Man, you guys sure know how to suck all the fun and joy out of being a gamer. So let me get this straight, One of you isn’t going to play GTA6 because he doesn’t like playing as a villain, but yet you’ve played games like Red Dead and had no issues with that.

  • Enjoyable?

    Listened for over a decade, but lately it feels a particular host needs to just bring down the mood with injecting random political points and just makes whole segments awkward when you are just talking about a cool indie game. It appears to be a weekly trend last couple months.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rebel FM Episode 659 - 04/11/2025
Q: What do you think about the pricing and tariffs affecting electronics and games?
Typically, prices do go up everywhere as a result of tariffs. Prices are usually anchored to dominant markets.
Rebel FM Episode 642 - 11/08/2024
Q: Anthony, what have you been playing?
I've been playing a bit of everything during Extra Life, including Resident Evil 4 Remake and Amanda the Adventurer.
Rebel FM Episode 613 - 02/16/2024
Q: What do you think is going on with Sony's first-party lineup for 2024?
Games take a long time to make. The long development cycles are affecting Sony's release schedule, and they may not have major titles until 2025.
Rebel FM Episode 614 - 02/23/2024
Q: Why does UE5 adoption seem so slow?
The engine only recently became production ready, and many games starting production before that continued using UE4. Additionally, the long development cycles mean that games likely aren't publicly seen until years after they begin development.
Rebel FM Episode 630 - 07/26/2024
Q: What are your thoughts on the leaked excerpts from Lou Elizondo's book about the phenomenon?
It's definitely the biggest news that happened in the entire last week, signaling increased interest in political narratives around alien disclosures.
