Not Enough Resources Deep Dive - Star Fox Adventures

Featuring special guest Steph Gerk. Follow Not Enough Resources.

Physical VS Digital with Steph Gerk

Going into 2020 we have some big changes coming! First off, we are moving a bunch of stuff around in the back end of things. More importantly though, it means more focused and deliberate topics throughout the year. We are shifting focus from news to bigger picture topics, and will be doing specific deep dives into our favorite games. For 2020 we will be covering one topic a month! Be sure to follow us @NERPodcast to stay up to date with us!

Now Playing - Dylan is still drowning himself in Breath of the Wild, but has Project Winter on the backburner calling his name. Ryan has a transcendent experience with Tetris Effect. News - GameStop laid off 120 employees under the guise of restructuring, including eliminating 7 positions at the company owned GameInformer magazine. We discuss the impacts this has on the industry not only as some folks from the enthusiast press lose their jobs, but what identity the industry will have in the eventual post-GameStop world. Competitive Corner - The Overwatch League is heding to home markets in 2020 with a full schedule released last week. The big news? No more Thursday or Friday games, and super stacked Saturday and Sundays, as each weekend of Season 3 will hold two Homestands every week. How will viewers schedule around a global time frame? We will have to wait and see. And always, be kind to your fellow gamers.

Episode 61 – Tetris Effect, GameStop lays off more staff, Overwatch League Season 3 hype

Now Playing - We keep it brief, as Dylan talks about his love for Pikachu and Ness in Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, while Ryan dives into Crypt of the Necrodancer. News - There is so much news. We start off with what we hope will be the death of a favorite topic, loot boxes. From there, we go though the ups and downs of streaming giant Ninja and his transition from Twitch to Mixer, and some of the fallout that has come from that agreement. And then, following an amazing episode of Patriot Act, Dylan and Ryan dive into so many different topics they have discussed over the past few years, such as labor practices, sexism at Riot Games, and how much money is going into the industry. Dylan delivers a passionate call to arms to stop supporting bad actors within development, and focus your energy on the games that treat developers as people. Finally, the Epic Games Store VS Steam debate continues to churn, with disgusting behavior hurled towards indie developer Glumberland, makers of the upcoming sure-to-be-indie-darling Ooblets. Don't send death threats folks. Competitive Corner - EVO was held last weekend, and Dylan and Ryan are in complete awe by the energy and passion of the Fighting Game Community. Rick Fox is finally speaking publicly about his removal from EchoFox, and Ryan and Dylan wonder if the corporation sports is known for has finally seeped into the world of esports. Finally, the 19th place Washington Justice are tearing through all competitors in the Overwatch League, including the #1 ranked Titans, thanks to a meta shift into 2-2-2.

Now Playing - Dylan has finally gotten his own Switch, and is exploring 2017's Game of the Year, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Things he loves? Cooking and playing the game for more than 30 minutes at a time. Meanwhile, Ryan dives back into the Gears of War series for the first time since 2011's Gears of War 3 with the Gears 5 beta. Turns out slowing down a bit makes shooters fun? News - UK Parliament has determined things like FIFA Ultimate Team Packs are not considered gambling. After discussing this at length, Ryan challenges Dylan's concept of what a loot box is, while Dylan's primary concern is how these games keep closing up and taking players purchases with them once the service shuts down. The debate of physical versus digital goods comes up a lot, as we try to figure out how to place value on digital purcahses. Competitive Corner - The 2-2-2 lock for Overwatch League is real, and after one week of play it is already shaking up the standings and the players. This meta shift should hit live servers here in the next couple weeks! In addition to the 2-2-2 lock, Blizzard also revealed their next hero, a gravity manipulating tank named Sigma. In a sad note, we here at Not Enough Resources would like to extend our deepest condolences to the StarCraft 2 community, who lost a bright star in the scene. Geoff 'iNcontroL' Robinson passed away last week and the Starcraft 2 scene, and esports, will never be the same. He will be missed.

Now Playing Following E3 announcements, Ryan decided to dive into Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and is quickly exploring as many games as he can, including What Remains of Edith Finch and Life is Strange. Meanwhile, Dylan jumps back into the world of MMO's with Final Fantasy XIV, and has lots of thoughts on what makes an MMO great. News Nintendo finally announced the newest version of the Nintendo Switch, the Nintendo Switch Lite. After going through a basic rundown of changes from the standard hardware, Dylan decides that the Lite isn't for him. But we wonder, who is this Switch designed for, and will it force a price drop on the standard edition of the Switch before the holiday season. Competitive Corner Overwatch League Season 2 is headed towards the Stage 3 Playoffs, with the Titans and the Shock looking for a title rematch. Ryan would like the Shanghai Dragons to go all the way, but that is a very unlikely scenario (POST PLAYOFF UPDATE: Shanghai did in face win the Stage 3 Playoffs.)

Now Playing - A great new genre has exploded in the gaming world: Auto Battlers. Between Auto Chess, DotA: Underlords and League of Legends Team Fight Tactics, everyone is looking for a bit of the new genre on the block. Each game has it's own subtle differences, but between the three of them, a single one hasn't alienated itself from the pack. Maybe there is room for a fourth game in the genre? Perhaps in a beloved sci-fi universe? We hope, but are still addicted to the versions put out so far. News - Once again, Kotaku's Jason Schreier has a great deep dive on the working conditions of another AAA studio, this time focusing on Treyarch and the Call of Duty Black Ops franchise. Read his in-depth article here, and then add Treyarch to the list of companies that are in the cross hairs for unionization. Dylan compares the current state of the industry to how Hollywood was controlled at every level by the studios back in it's heyday, and how gaming might be able to evolve pass their current growing pains. Competitive Corner - Dylan is still abstaining from Riot, so he is on the search for a new esport to scratch his itch. Meanwhile, in the Overwatch League, both the San Francisco Shock and the Vancouver Titans have had their blood drawn, and by unexpected teams too. This is a great shake up to the league, and keeps the season chugging along with every team having suffered at least one loss. Following his retirement from the League, Gesture spills the beans on the 2-2-2 lock coming in Stage 4 of Season 2. Hopefully the rumor is true and Overwatch see's a big shake up to it's meta in the coming months. Remember, be kind to your fellow gamers.

Episode 57 – Auto Battlers (and StarCraft hopes), Treyarch and Contract Employees, The Vancouver Titans finally lose, and more 2-2-2 Overwatch League Rumors

Last week was E3 so our usual format is out the window in favor of so much news. We tackle some highlights and disappointments from the show. Things that we are excited about include Cyberpunk 2077, The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 2, Star War Jedi Fallen Order and... gamers not being disappointed in an Animal Crossing delay? Sadly, not everything was a surefire hit with us, especially the forthcoming Square-Enix Avengers game. Weird graphics, incomplete examples of gameplay and muddled promises of co-op. The big head-scratcher though? The removal of the national Pokédex from Pokémon Sword and Shield. Will removal of a large swath of Pokémon from the game, will this effect the sales of the game, or only irritate the hardcore? Remember, if you love being kind to your fellow gamers, wear it on your sleeve! These Not Enough Resources icons in both Red and Blue are available on a variety of things, like mugs and shirts via Redbubble.

Episode 56 – E3 2019! Hype on Cyberpunk 2077 and Breath of the Wild 2, disappointed in Avengers and Pokémon Sword and Shield.
