The most noteworthy news stories from YEARS ago, was the uncharted collection adding the "reduced hold/press to mash" setting and becoming heroes overnight. Why isn't this a standard yet? Better question: what settings in games SHOULD BE standard.</li> <li>Rich: So since Phil Spencer Says We’ll Hear From Him And The Xbox Team Next Week On Their “Vision For The Future Of Xbox” - what would you deem as your future vision for the xbox? Since humanity seems hell bent on killing itself, what do you think will get us in the end. Global warming, lack of fresh water, AI, or people wearing Apple Vision as they drive?</li> <li>primefan13: Thoughts on Underdog VR?</li> <li>QuackMike: Have you played Gravity Circuit and did you like it?</li> </ul> <h2>Cheap/Free Games</h2> <h3>Epic Games</h3> <ul> <li>Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!</li> <li>Lost Castle</li> </ul> <h3>Xbox Game Pass</h3> <ul> <li>Persona 3 Reload (Friday, February 2)</li> <li>Anuchard (Tuesday, February 6)</li> <li>Train Sim World 4 (Cloud, Console, and PC) – February 7</li> <li>Madden NFL 24 (Console and PC) – February 8</li> <li>Resident Evil 3 (Cloud, Console, and PC) – February 13</li> <li>Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (Cloud, Console, and PC) – February 14</li> <li>A Little To The Left (Cloud, Console, and PC) – February 15</li> <li>PlateUp! – Feb 15th</li> <li>Return to Grace (Cloud, Console, and PC) – February 20</li> </ul> <h3>PlayStation Plus</h3> <ul> <li>Foamstars</li> <li>Steelrising</li> <li>Rollerdrome</li> </ul> <h3>Humble Bundle</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.humblebundle.com/games/controllerd-chaos">https://www.humblebundle.com/games/controllerd-chaos</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.humblebundle.com/games/exceptional-indie-allies">https://www.humblebundle.com/games/exceptional-indie-allies</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.humblebundle.com/games/with-soulslike-these-you-need-enemies">https://www.humblebundle.com/games/with-soulslike-these-you-need-enemies</a></li> </ul> <h3>Prime Gaming</h3> <ul> <li>Fallout (Available February 1st through GOG)</li> <li>Breakout: Recharged (Available February 1st through Epic Games Store)</li> <li>Missile Command: Recharged (Available February 8th through Epic Games Store)</li> <li>Criminal Archives: Alphabetic Murders - Collector's Edition (Available February 15th through Legacy Games Code)</li> <li>Tempest 4000 (Available February 15th through Amazon Games App)</li> <li>Blade Assault (Available February 22 through Amazon Games App)</li> <li>Gravitar: Recharged (Available February 29th through Epic Games Store)</li> </ul> <h3>Patreon</h3> <ul> <li>Alan Schulte</li> <li>Joe Cole Jr.</li> <li>Anonymous</li> <li>Rich Deacon</li> </ul> <h3>Extra Life</h3> <p><a href="https://bytemepodcast.com/extralife/">Byte Me Podcast's Extra Life</a></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/byte-me-podcast/message
