Epic is into everything, Tina ISN'T so tiny after all, and MKB finally figures out how to review video games.  Welcome Alchemy7, Donutmonkeyy, and MKB to another episode of banter and ranting for your listening enjoyment.  Tons of news, upcoming community event information, and mailbax hijinx.  Come join us!

HSG's back.   Tell a friend. This HSG podcast episode was recorded LIVE in front of a studio (Twitch) audience.  That's right!  All episodes are live on stream now! Welcome back to the HSG Podcast!  In this episode we meet the new squad, talk about the news and hit the mailbag. Key mentions in this episode are the Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard and a pretty sizable update on upcoming titles!  Mailbag questions highlight our biggest gaming disappointments since our last episode and our biggest most pleasantest surprises. Tune in.  We can't wait to reconnect with you all! Connect with HSG at www.higherscoregaming.com and join our Discord!

On this episode, we spend some long-overdue QT with Jack Osorno, one of the biggest supporters of the HSG Podcast, since before it was even a thing! …He also happens to be a former team leader at Playstation who was saved DURING his time there.  He talks about his journey, how his salvation affected his time at Playstation, and the amazing ways his faith and trust in God led him to even bigger and better things (like being his OWN developer).  It’s really an amazing story!  Of course you can trust us with all the other stuff too, Games with Gold and Playstation Plus titles reviewed for the month of June 2020, gaming news, including Playstation’s delayed PS5 feature, Minecraft Dungeons comes to Game Pass, PSO2 goes fully cross-play, and more!

On this episode, HSG’s very own DonutMonkeyy joins us for some hijinx and discussion around ALL of the wonderful questions you’ve sent in through our community Discord’s mailbag over the past 30 days!  Thanks as always for writing in!

AKA Epidemiology via Warcraft? COVID-19.  We could possibly be writing the story that defines our generation…BUT what if Blizzard already wrote a rough draft of that story?  In a GAME… in 2005!?  Come with us to find out! Of course we cover the big news:  FF7’s remake is upon us, Hi-Rez’s Rogue Company gets teased, Nintendo’s Animal Crossing is tearing up the charts, and more.  Community events (We have the best community, thank you, members!).   Free games discussions for both Xbox Games with Gold and Playstation Plus.  And then our main segment where we discuss an event in 2005 that might foreshadow the outcome of COVID-19.  Intrigued?  So were we!  We bring you all the details.   Take a listen!

It’s time for some grins, everyone!   Our community is SO awesome that we have enough questions and feedback every month to spend an entire episode of the having a ton of fun answering them on air!   Best Easter egg in a game ever?  Should the Christian gaming community be worried about the new “I am Jesus” title?  What ripoffs of games are BETTER than the games they actually ripped off?  These are just a FEW of the questions we answer on this first-ever Mailbag Episode of the HSG Podcast!!!   Speaking of Easter Eggs...“Stay a while, and listen!”

AKA “I’m the captain now!” On this episode, MKB attempts to take T-Rex’s signature catch phrase and is savagely punished by losing his host privileges for the entire episode.  Our guest Grateful94 from the HSG community joins us as we cover highlights of gaming’s biggest news! Everyone is looking for Xur...EVERYONE.   Fortnite makes less money than last year, but somehow manages to earn more than some actual countries.  Will Apex ever make a top 10 list anywhere?  Next-gen console information from Playstation and a discussion of the recent next-gen Xbox leaked images.  Games with Gold, Playstation Plus titles, and a featured segment about not buying in to hype and playing what YOU want to play.  By the time we’re done, you’re gonna be stoked about your new gaming freedom. Get on this crazy train with us!  No camels were (severely) injured in the recording of this episode.

In this episode we tackle the big subjects...you know, what is the future of Google's newly released Stadia platform, is Valve really going to grace us with another Half-Life title, and does the future of virtual reality possibly promise a bunch of gamers that are super ripped?  During Episode 10, HSG's NovaktheNoble joins us as we give you some recommendations for your game- and accessory-related shopping pleasure, some predictions on how many recent titles will perform during this year's rush on retail and as always we go to the mailbag...because we care! 

Recorded live before a Twitch Audience! On this episode of Higher Score Gaming, the XII's Social and Worthy join us for some highly informative shenanigans.  We round up all the reasons we're losing precious sleep over Bungie's first major content release in Destiny 2 since their separation from Activision.  Let the game subscription battle commence!  Games with Gold adds more games, Playstation Plus hits hard for the second month in a row, drops its price on Playstation Now, with streaming (Take that, Stadia!).  We package all we know so far about why Gearbox may or may not deserve your fandom, and as always, we go to the mailbag to answer your questions, and disclaimer: No children were mauled by bears during the recording of this episode.

AKA "Unpopular Opinions?" In this episode we unpack Destiny 2's upcoming expansion, Shadowkeep and contrast it with Gearbox's Borderlands 3.  You may have enough money, but do you have enough time?  For those of us who don't have enough of one of these, a choice must be made.  We are hoping this episode helps you make yours!  We also go to the mailbag and tackle a series of questions from our community on some of our favorite things plus we take a hard look at capitalism.   YAY!   Join us for this episode.  The fun never ends.
