Full disclosure, due to a technical snafu, Anthony is coming to you from space this week, but we've still got a lot of primarily Next Fest games to talk about, including Security 51, Holdfast: Nations at War, Don't Let it Starve, Hawthorn, The Transy... more

The sky is falling in the world of video games, but we mostly have to keep acting like it's not this week as we chat about Onimusha, Voidling Bound, Terratech Legions, Destiny 2, and more. This week's music: MUNA - Dancing on the Wall

Summer Game Fest has come and mostly gone, and we've watched at least some of it! We chat about the bigger showcases, our surprises, what we think about the next 12 months of games, what we thought was missing, and plenty more. This week's music: Kil... more

Initially there was a joke here about all of us having the chance to play with a young James Bond, but Libsyn didn't think that joke was appropriate and ate the post. Anyway, we're all playing 007: First Light, but we also talk about Mina the Hollowe... more

  • TDS ruined this podcast

    I don’t care if my political views are diff but my god I’m done listening since every podcast they bring up the current president any chance they can. Laughing about being banned on reddit because one wished he was no longer alive? I don’t want to hear that anymore.

  • My favourite gaming podcast

    Have been listening for a long time, love that this podcast has been able to keep going even as the guys moved to different cities. Great way to learn about new games you’re unlikely to hear of anywhere else, as well as get well thought out takes on AAA titles. Be warned, over time Arthur will make you a content quality and home theater/gaming hardware snob of the highest order. I can only look at OLED screens now and had to set an annual budget for myself to control my 4K blu-ray purchases. It ... more

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.
