It’s here! It’s queer! It’s finally Episode 100 of Video Game Realness! Join Delvin, Michael, James and Cameron as they relive moments from the past 100 episodes in this part-clip show extravaganza. The show opens with a blast from the past from Episode 0, before the guys kick things off and then look back at previous predictions, ideas, and funny moments.

We’d also like to thank all of the fans of the show for listening to us for the last 5 years. You are all amazing!

Episode 45 – E3 2014: EA & Ubisoft Press Conferences

Check out our summary of both the EA and Ubisoft conferences. Not a whole lot to say about each one, but we still share our thoughts on what was shown and how it was presented.

We discuss the Mass Effect teaser, shooter fatigue and why there was no Mirror’s Edge game footage. From the Ubisoft side, we take a look at what they presented and discuss their Nintendo shade.

Are there games you are excited for from these conferences? Let us know!

Episode 24 – January Jams Part 2: Electric Boogaloo

This week, join Cameron, Michael and James as they continue the Video Game Realness month-long celebration of music in video games. Michael shares his Top 5 soundtracks of all time, as well as his faves from 2013.

The trio also takes some time to share listener tweets who tweeted at us with their favourite soundtracks of all time. Donkey Kong Country is high on a lot of lists; who knew?! The guys discuss the news of the week, including updates from CES, and finally move into this week’s January Jams topic: how does music influence/affect storytelling and atmosphere in games? What games do this the best? You’ll have to listen to find out! Also, be sure to tweet us with your opinions!

(Michael also wrote a story about this for 1UP.com a couple years back and you can check it out here.)

Episode 19 – Last Gen, Reunited

As the next-gen is officially here, James, Cameron and Michael decide to look back on the previous console generation and discuss the best, the worst and SoulCalibur Legends — it’s in its own category. They don’t completely shirk the next-gen wagon; Michael discusses his PS4 and the crew discusses the Xbox One launch, as well as the news of the week.

The guys also talk about what they’ve been playing over the last week (including Super Mario 3D World), Michael discovered that Killzone: Shadow Fall wasn’t all that great in the end, and Cameron has a computer sob story that results in the briefest moment of silence.
