Episode 08 - Easter in the HUD
18/04/2019 Duration: 50minWhat up fam! It's an Easter special coming hot off the heels of Episode 07. Don't worry, this isn't gonna be a typical Easter special, so don't get too hung up on religious holidays and get ready for some fun. First we start off every religious holiday by talking about the hardships of male adult actors. Every career has to start somewhere and sometimes it gets sloppy at the bottom of the totem pole. Next up is our ode to Easter: Top 5 video game characters that came back from the dead. We both complied a list in separate bunkers to avoid cross contamination (final lists will be at the bottom of this post). Afterwards we talk about the games we've been playing, who cooks at home, and also how we indie game on the go, and our thoughts on Tofurkey. Top five characters that died and came back Dann's # 5. Doom Guy - Doom 2016 Thaddeus's #5. Commander Sheppard - Mass Effect Dann's #4. Kain - Legacy of Kain Thaddeus's #4. Zero - Mega Man x Series Dann's #3. TBH we skipped over this during recording. Just like

Episode 07 - Won't somebody think about the children
15/04/2019 Duration: 01h03minHuge news HUD-Rats! We did a massive audio upgrade to our mics and audio interface. Now you get all the crispy clear BitHUD goodness you deserve. Go to our Instagram @bidhudpodcast to see the new setup First we dodge roll into our thoughts after playing more Sekiro and really get into what it means to have ninja stealth, ninja agility, and how it stacks up against From Software's other marquee titles. We also do a takedown on the conversation of whether games like Sekiro need an easy mode. Should From change their evil GitGud ways or do Game Journalists need to stop sucking at video games? Next we go international and talk about Prince Harry's commentary that Fortnite should be banned. That it's addictive and there's nothing parents can do to stop Epic from destroying the sweet innocence of youth. Finally we get into the upcoming Hyper Light Drifter anime which leads us on to a wild string of thoughts. Can it live up to the praise that Netflix & Konami's Castlevania the Animation has left behind? List

Episode 06 - We're going in deep
01/04/2019 Duration: 38minDann & Thaddeus get together to talk about the Apex Legends Porn Parody 'Ass Sex Legends'. Dann explains his theory that only popular video games have porn parodies. Have you ever seen a video game porn parody? Next we delve into the announcement that shook the world, Google Stadia, and what the means for the gaming industry. Can Google join the ranks of the big three and become a viable platform through streaming video games? Will this be the next Youtube or the next Google Plus? Lastly it's Dann & Thaddeus's first impressions on Sekiro Shadows Die Twice based solely on 5 minutes of gameplay and mostly what the box looks like. The pre-order bonus katana letter opener is top notch quality! Top tier content as usual boys and girls!

Episode 05 - SoundCloud, taste my Devil Breaker!
20/03/2019 Duration: 38minDann and Thaddeus go for the ultimate air juggle as they talk about Devil May Cry 5. Can this series light a fire for series fans or is it style over substance? Next we discuss Sega's decision to pull Judgement in Japan. This is due to a voice actor's controversial arrest linked to cocaine. Seems like this Detective drama in the Yakuza Universe got a little too real. Finally we wave goodbye to SoundCloud and celebrate our new home on Libsyn.
