The Impossible Mission Omni-Feed! VideoGame Podcast!

The Impossible Mission Omni-Feed! VideoGame Podcast!

Impossible Mission is a simple podcast in which two Rob's talk about the wide world of video games. That chat could be relevant, it could be something we just find interesting, it could also be something in between. Some chats we've had in the past include Death Stranding & Walking Simulators, Extreme Sports Games, lots about Yakuza, Atelier and Dead Space, and so much more. The floor is ours, join the conversation. We are called Impossible Mission because it's impossible to talk about video games without annoying someone. Or people are annoyed already and we just like poking the bear, as it were. The feed features Impossible Mission, Monthly Games Marmalade & News Trash!

No, we don't talk like that in the episode. Yes, we have fully embraced the dark side... of clickbait. Then again this is simultaneously episode 100 and 83, so all the rules are off the table. I'll stop bringing that up after this episode, promise.

In the first half of the show we talk about news. Specifically that clickbait title, Hideo Kojima, Dead Space, Silent Hill and loads more. My favourite part is when I call ...

Somehow we can be on episode 82 but 1 off our 100th podcast. The internet is weird.

This week, we collect together the first news episode post-e3 on which we talk about the few news stories to slither from underneath the gargantuan heft of e3. Not that this episode totally escapes the electronic entertainment expo of youtube playlists. No, we take a good amount of time to talk about whether or not it made a successful...

As a final apology for my laxness in getting the podcasts out, not only are you getting the latest news trash a day early. You are also getting the next episode of Impossible Mission about a week early too. In the future, we'll try to stick to this and get episodes out on a Monday.

Anyway. In the first half - we have a news trash. On which we talk about all the leaky susan's in videogame press and all the rumours they...

All up to date now. Won't be making the mistake of forgetting to upload episodes to the podcast feed. My bad. My really bad. This week we collect a new trash and an impossible mission. We probably should rename this feed news trash weekly games blast or something, it belongs to news trash more than it belongs to impossible mission, these days.

In the news trash half, we talk about the sony investor relations document...

Just one more then we are all caught up. This episode is a twofer, collecting May's Marmalade and an episode of News Trash - meaning this is twice the episode.

In the first half, we have news trash, on which the realisation that this semi-conductor shortage is real serious hits - why? because Nintendo is feeling the pinch, Sony has loads of ps5 exclusive buns in the oven, Xbox is hitting China and much more. Plus a tr...

Two more episodes today, again, I cannot apologise enough for not keeping up to date with these episodes. I am a bad podcast producer, bad. No treats for me today.

In this news trash solo episode we talk about the high price of digital PS games, Xbox not making any profit on any machine, discord to PlayStation in 2022, e3 steaming ahead, resident evil 7 was apparently too scary, and more.

If you want to kee...

Two in one day is probably enough for today, more new episodes will go live tomorrow so we will be up to date by Thursday - good fortune willing.

In this episode, we harp on about 7.8 million PS5's in the wild, PlayStation investing more in exclusives, Xbox doing much better, EA being their usual sh*tbird selves, there's a hunger for socially responsible games, Konami is actually doing stuff, and much more. Including ...

Bit of a crunched up blast of trash, apologies, life sometimes gets on top of you and tasks get overlooked and forgotten - this is one such time. Sorry, after this salvo of NT, it won't happen again. Fingers Crossed.

In this episode, Rob and Prob talk about Playstation Reversal, "Playstation Plus Video Pass" Xbox Dropping Xbox Live Requirement for Free to Play Online Games, Olympic VR eSports, ageing gamers, Assassins...

This time on the Omni-feed, we collect April Games Marmalade and the latest News Trash.

In Marmalade we look at Paradise Lost as well as some older titles and oddities. Part of which includes Rob just wrecking Donut County for Prob. Something which I make absolutely no apologies about - if someone presents an open goal like that. It's just wasteful to not make some jokes at its expense. 

Then in the back hal...

News Trash doesn't have solo billing this week, it shares the centre stage with an episode of Impossible Mission in which we totally don't get carried away about the fallout of the Sony PS3/Vita/PSP store closures. Nope. Not a jot of exaggeration or anything, no, not us, no sir-ee.

Any-way.

Now that we've totally convinced you of that, we have to kick things off with a news week that isn't quite as heavy as l...

This week is a News Trash solo outing and there's a whole buttload of video games news to dig into. There's so much, in fact, that I'm not even going to bother trying to write it all down. Instead, I'll say just these few teasing sentences. Prob doesn't like the new Gollum Game; Playstation shutting down the PS3, Vita and PSP sucks hard; Sony is doing some movies, one of which we could do without; and, SEGA wins. The 8-year-ol...

This week on Impossible Mission, we open with the latest from the world of gaming news and a back half where we talk about the upcoming PS5 exclusive, Returnal. Come for all that, stay for the weird metaphors about the state of the gaming industry.

We talk Square Enix Presents 2021 (in the future, we'll be releasing digital events like this on their own under the banner "trailer trash", which will also be under this h...

Time for another episode of your salty neighbourhood videogames podcast. This time out its a solo venture for News Trash, so let us hit you with the full weight of our news. Before any of that, though - you read that image and episode title right; we make some bold Xbox predictions but not the sort you might be thinking. The sheer tease of it all.

This week's Stories include Microsoft's Acquisition of ZeniMax Bethesda...

News and a nice old chat with two smug people who dared predict that the videogames industry wasn't robust enough to not be effected the the biggest elephant in the room since World War II. Yes, I'm happy enough to admit this episodes back half is fuelled by smug.

Before that though, there's the small matter of news. There's a PSVR blowout, 2020 Console Sales Figures and Nintendo Switch Pro?, Square Enix plan to remak...

Another solo outing for News Trash, focus on the trash - there. Despite the video version being beleaguered by issues of all kinds, this audio version was all rosy. Buttery smooth as all those Americans say on the Intertubes.

The stories we look at in this episode include... the latest Playstation State of Play & Other PS News. An Update in the Apple Vs. Epic "War". Sony have decided to shut down and Assess Japan...

Impossible Mission has returned to the impossible mission podcast feed. Fancy that? Also. Fancy that it's debuting here instead of over on youtube. 

The first half of the show is given over to News Trash, our weekly look at news from the big, bold and beautiful world of video games. Well... it's big and bold. Some of the news we look at includes... Updates on the PS5 DualSense court case, Apple Vs Epic Continues, EA a...

Apologies about the audio quality. We tried a new recording method and the kinks have yet to be worked out. Still, News has to go on. There's no stopping for any audio interference. If it's good enough for news broadcasts, it's more than good enough for YouTube. Still, we apologise and are working hard to fix these issues.

Right. The stories.

Another Twofer on the podcast feed. First up is News Trash on which we talk about some of the following hoo-haa. AMD "demand for their gaming chips has exceeded supply, and this is going to continue to be the case for the first half of 2020"; 99% of Video Games Sales in Japan (so far in 2021) have been for the Nintendo Switch; Google Stadia closes Games and Entertainment Studios; and More. Then, some games we've been playing. ...

In 2021, Impossible Mission is three shows; Impossible Mission (Obviously, which is going fortnightly), The Monthly Games-we've-been-playing Chat, Marmalade And, New boy, News Trash, a weekly show in which we cover the less exposed video games news story.

In the first episode, we talk about:  EA set up new Studio to make the upcoming Skate Game; Amazon Spent Nearly $500 million in a year on its gaming division; Netfl...

This is a deeply cynical episode for the most cynical time of the year. I mean festive. How could I possibly confuse the two things? How very bad of me. Controversial opinions thy name is Impossible Mission. This week we talk about video game music. Then we do a 2021 videogames preview a.k.a. 8-ish games that we are looking forward to in 2021. Not much else to say about this one, it's a "does exactly what it says on the tin" t...
