Advertise on podcast: Loading Screen | Your Morning Gaming Talk Show by Nerd Street Gamers

Yo yo yo! The boys are back! In today's episode, we catch up on a ton of news that we missed over the past month that we were gone. We gush over Halo Infinite's campaign finally coming out, AND THE FFXIV ENDWALKER EXPANSION!!! (Angel's sing while we jump up and down) Jacob goes over some new speed running strats in Pokemon too. Then the boys devolve and we end up vibing talking about everything, from Valorant, to warzone, to making Master Chief poop jokes. Missed you nerds. ;)

Annnnnnnnd welcome to the first solo loading screen show brought to you by Alex and hot Jacob! Alex pulls together a solo show because Jacob is out BUT THE SHOW MUST GO ON! Today we cover the Valorant LCQ getting postponed again because of power issues (it's like it's cursed or something), we discuss the Halo Infinite Campaign Overview, zombie games making a come back, the future of gaming and more!

Hey hey hey! Today we checkout the Halo Infinite PC overview, and it's lookin' SPICY! We then go over these special icons made for the steam deck so that we can discern between the compatibility of games for it. Alex then asks the question, "do you think emulators should exist?" to which Jacob responds, "It's the forbidden fruit. We've tasted it. We can't go back." He said it super cool though, like after he said it everyone in chat made an emote like they were mind blasted. Super inspiring. God of War is coming to the PC, and despite that being heckin' awesome, there are some people who are pretty sour about it. We tease them for being selfish & not wanting to share their game. Alex then shows us a comparison between Far Cry 6 & GTA 5's graphics... the results are a bit shocking. Jacob then starts to talk about the new animal crossing patch, but derails himself by talking about expensive food. We then go over the New World Server transfer and ask everyone how well it holds up, the response was pretty much, "watered down wow." Jacob rips on NZXT making a PC DIY kit, then Alex drops the bomb that "FIFA" may no longer be able to call itself that in the future. We wrap up the show going over some awesome products that help you protect your skin against blue-light, then introduce a bunch of new products which are totally real. Strap in!

Oi oi oi! LCQ didn't go over as planned, and people are not happy. We make light of it. :) Alex shows us this sweet Halo Infinite trailer about the competitive settings, and things look sweet. We go over how battlefield fans want another delay so that the game doesn't turn out like a hot mess, then Jacob complains about Pokemon Diamond for a long time. He cheers up to tell us more about a possible Fortnite Movie in the works, though. Then we get into some Overwatch 2 Theories, squid game giving fall guys some ideas (oh my O_O), the new anti-cheat system for COD (spoiler alert: people found loopholes lol), a new game coming called "Avowed" that looks sick, and Halo possibly coming to Fall Guys. This episode's topics are STACKED.

Missed you nerds! Today we get into our VCT LCQ picks. That's right, the Valorant gods themselves tell you who will end up winning it ALL! Then we dive into some of that sweet new Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl gameplay with the coolest looking dinosaur, Reptar. We keep on groovin' while Alex shows us some funny Far Cry 6 moments, then Jacob goes into an atrocious powerpoint presentation. COD Vanguard, Forza Horizon 5, Halo Infinite leaks, 100 Thieves x Lil Nas X, and a Squid Game themed game, we go into ALL of it.

After Alex recovers from his devastating funny bone horror, we jump into a SLEW of topics! We speak to the incredible VCT Game Changers tournament from this past weekend, GG C9 White as well as League of Legends Worlds 2021. Then, shortly before the show the final Super Smash Bros Ultimate fighter was announced! We give our thoughts, talk about the Halo Infinite Campaign....yes Alex bought a foot pedal for the multiplayer ping system... speak to Pokemon Arceus not having open world, a coffee bean that'll kick your a$$ and why New World isn't for people that don't have time - surprise surprise, it's an MMO........

After all these years, Halo LAN is BACK BABY with the announcement of Halo Infinite's first LAN in Raleigh, NC. We talk about some Pokemon news, Battlefield 2042's Open Beta coming soon as well as IKEA making moves into the gaming space with their own gaming furniture!

Hey ya, we're back! Missed ya! Today we'll go over the upcoming Valorant Game Changers meet this weekend. The big Overwatch 2 details that just came out and gaming old people. That's right, there is an Esports team made up of cute, hard candy sucking, smells like flowers seniors that are taking on the gaming world. Is Gas station Simulator really worth the hype? There's been a slew of cool first looks and trailers too, we got a new Arcane - LOL trailer, the new Pokémon BDSP Trailer and details behind the new Mario Movie and their somewhat surprising cast.

Oh boy oh boy did the Europeans show those North Americans how you're supposed to play Valorant. Granted the brackets were weird and awkwardly forced all the NA teams to play each other. But a congrats is due for Gambit Sports. Alex may not think so, but what he does have for you is a rundown on how to play all the games you want this fall and pay less for it all! Que? We give some impressions on Eastward, Kenia: Bridges of Sprits, and a heaping of more games.

SENTINELS LOSE TO G2 WOW! How did that happen? We're losing it over here! Tenz is getting defensive? Or losing confidence? Who knows? Deltarune Chapter 2 comes out this Friday y'all, it looks super interesting. There is more though. Eastward is one of the most promising new titles coming out soon and we have a lot of to say about it. Battlefield is delayed a month guys, what? Come on. Call of Duty 2023 drop some details.
