In this episode of Cheerful Ghost Radio we talk all about E3 and what we thought the highlights were. Weâre not covering everything, just the parts that stuck with us. At the end of the show we hand out who we think came away with the best of show!
As I race around the Internets I see interesting stuff and today I read a headline on Kotaku that I wanted to ask you all here. The article was just a question to the community about what games they'd be playing forever. I was thinking about those games for me and also was wondering what those games are for you? I have a bit of a non-subtle hint with this post. Yeah... i'm pretty sure i'll be playing Terraria off and on forever. I also think i'm going to keep playing retro games like Mario 2, 3, World, Link to the Past, Tetris, etc. But it's not all retro games as some newer games that I plan on revisiting are the Borderlands series, Hearthstone(as long as they keep...

In case you miss the slight mention of this in my Extinction post,.....Ark is now available on iOS and Apple mobile devices for free! Feel free to give it a try and let me know what you think of it. I imagine there's a Local (single player) mode, like the PC has, otherwise you'll be playing with random people.
My phone is incompatible so let me know what you think! It obviously doesn't look as great as it does on PC, but at least this gives you an opportunity to experience the game for free!

I just discovered this great kickstarter for the Nintendo Switch:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fangamer/flip-grip/
With Ikaruga recently hitting the switch and several other games out there that use a vertical display mode, this seems like an awesome accessory to have.
At $15 (base pledge + shipping) and with Fangamer behind it, this seems like a no-brainer.
Now everyone put your money in so this gets funded! Me want!

Studio Wildcard just released a trailer with a release date for the new DLC expansion, Extinction. It looks cool and takes us back to where it all âbegins and endsâ on Earth, which is hardly recognizable as it looks like something horrible happened. In the video you get to see a few new things, like a Tek creature using blink teleportation and going after a Giganotosaurus. You also get to see a huge beast, known as a Titan. There are more than one of them and apparently theyâre mini-bosses. You also get to see someone using binoculars and piloting a drone.
Extinction is the last paid DLC for Ark and is included in the Season Pass. What comes next? Possibly a sequel!...

We covered quite a lot of E3 2018 discussion this year and with all of it I wasn't sure there was much more to learn. Metal Jesus was at this years E3 and he recorded a lot of it showcasing another side of E3 we didn't hear much about. Jesus and Kinsey first hit up a retro Japanese import store then head over to E3 to spend time with vendors selling retro gear such as RetreoN. I didn't know RetreoN was selling a new Atari remake and Jesus got a review unit so when he posts his review i'll share it. Jesus also hits up the Sony booth and it seems like he really likes the new Spider-Man game(not too surprising).

The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword is an artistically beautiful Wii game with an interesting history. Wii owners were lucky enough to get two Zelda titles on the system with Twilight Princess and the follow up, Skyward Sword. One could argue that there wouldn't have been a Breath of the Wild if Skyward Sword hadn't received certain negative attention but sometimes you need to experience a low before you can get to better place. Or at least, the perception of it not being a great game exists in gaming paradoxically along side the Metacritic scores for Skyward Sword being really high. Still it's not a Zelda game i've played before and I do plan on picking it up to play...
Firstly I wanted to send a special HAPPY FATHER DAY to all the Dads out there. #dadsolidarity.
I wanted to get my Quake Champs second look review out a couple days ago but you know how things go sometimes. That said, i'll drop the TLDR up at the top.
Quake Champions is a solid and fresh arena shooter that strips back much of the fluff to present a very old school deathmatch shooter that does ample justice to the Quake legacy.
And this is the last day to get Quake Champions on Steam for free until it launches for real sometime this year. You can claim it on Steam right now for free by hitting the link below.

Finally listening to the podcast now.
Jon, you're wrong. Iron Man 3 is terrible lol. I hated the interactions with the kid. It felt like a Christmas Special episode. And I've never bothered watching Thor 2 lol.
The best E3 presentation was Devolver. That was just great :)
Travis, you've probably see the Devolver video by now, but just in case someone hasn't, here's the link. It's amazing! (After you suffer through the first 3 mins, you'll see)

I don't think IM3 is terrible by a long shot. I think at worst the MCU films have been ok and mostly fun if forgettable. I put IM3, Thor 2, and Hulk in that category.
> Jon, you're wrong. Iron Man 3 is terrible lol. I hated the interactions with the kid. It felt like a Christmas Special episode. And I've never bothered watching Thor 2 lol.
Yeah, well I'm happy to be wrong.
WHEN I AM AND IN THIS INSTANCE AM FACTUALLY CORRECT! j/k I respect your pov.

Forgettable? Huh. I kind of wanted Pepper to keep being a badass fireflower superhero. Really, I thought that would have been cool to keep.
I donât even remember Pepper being a badass fireflower superhero. Kinda similar to our Thor 2 discussion, I literally remember no plot from that one.
I remember like 50 iron man suits maybe preventing some destruction? Thatâs all I got.
FWIW I remember thinking it was better than Iron Man 2, but the second one stuck with me pretty well with the same number of viewings.
