GrinCast - a podcast about videogaming and games from GameGrin (GameGrin)

This week on the GrinCast it's another StreamCast LIVE on Twitch! We've dedicated the entire thing to E3 2016 - what games will be there, what games might not be there and whether Nintendo is going to be boring and just show Zelda.

As it's the StreamCast we're coming to you uncut and untethered by the editor's harsh cutting tools. Marvel at Fouler wondering if you can go into burning buildings to get Torchic in Pokémon Go, get stuck into our lively chat about Naughty Dog and join us in wondering why Ubisoft even bother.

As always you can get in touch with the GrinCast on Twitter or through the comments below. Let us know what you think!

This week on the GrinCast we go over the Crash Bandicoot release, Chinese Steam reviews and which games will suck in July. We also chat about the differing fortunes of Rust and PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS.

[This podcast might be a bit loud. Apologies, we were testing the audio levels.]

This week on the GrinCast we go over what's in store for everyone at Gamescom 2015, talk a little about why DayZ isn't progressing much and discuss why people feel the need to come up with irrelevant buzzwords for new releases.

If you have a question for the podcast then leave it as a comment and we'll try our best to answer it next week!

This week on the GrinCast we hit episode 100! Who would have thought it? We made it without killing each other (mostly).

To celebrate we spend the second half of the podcast playing a round of minigames and quiz-based challenges. Guess the review, fill in the blanks and more! Plus before that we'll spend half a hour looking at what E3 has in store.

Remember you can get in touch on Twitter or leave a comment below!
