Free Speech is leaned on so hard in 2022. With Elon Musk possibly buying Twitter, we have a long dialogue about what free speech really is, who seems to demand it and why, and if a Black social media platform can exist today.

Last episode we gave you Part 1 of GOK’s trip to Waycon. We’re back with Part 2 and we have more nerd talk with some of GOK’s friends of the show!
The homie V4 Vance, a respected name in the Michigan fighting game community, pulled up on us and kicked it all show to talk about some of his favorite fighting games, the preparation and level of focus needed to play competitively, sexism in the FGC, the legendary story of Cryin Brian (who is not a real N), and much more!
We were also joined by some of the next generation of gamers to discuss our love for anime and video games and how they compared.
We also get into a quick heated debate about Dragon Ball Z and a big Veteta/Goku debate. (1:14:29)
We’re also joined by one of Games on Krack’s biggest supporters, Maia Crown Williams for an impromptu interview. Crown is the creator of the largest black comic con in the Midwest, MECCA Con and she explains how she got into comics (1:25:20) and we have a long conversation about acceptance of blackness, her many business endeavors, MECCA Con International Film Festival, and much more.

After an incorrect prediction from Krack about what Sony would reveal at CES 2020, the guys discuss last week’s topic in greater detail while detailing how it is possible Microsoft could shift the next gen conversation in their direction. This all while challenging a popular PlayStation fanboy argument! (48:00)

JAY-Z is the GOAT, DAMMIT.
The GOK Gang is back with some fresh impressions of Pokemon Sword & Shield (3:55)! This leads them into a conversation about generational differences in how video games are played.
The crew talks about Twitch losing some of their most popular streamers to Mixer (18:12).
From there, the guys move on to the Disappointment Part of the Podcast. And what has been a bigger disappointment in gaming than the Google Stadia? (30:15) They discuss the broken promises and overall botching of the November 17th release. The conversation shifts to the responsibility of the consumer vs media in accepting these types of rushed launches with recent hardware and software releases.
Are we (Krack in particular) being too hard on Google? (1:04:44)
Nah…but Fin brings up many pertinent points about the role consumers play in this madness.
Is technology really growing as rapidly as it is being marketed? (1:16:45)
And finally BRING IT BACK! (1:30:30)

Welcome back to The Games on Krack Podcast! Season 2 is in full swing with Episode 10 and the guys start off by celebrating the formation of Games on Krack LLC (2:07) before getting into Krack’s trip with Fin to Pop+Offworld Arcade in Downtown Detroit (7:40).
This week in “What Are We Playing” Slapz offers his first impressions of both Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order (12:57) & Pokemon Shield (22:27). There has been a bit of controversy online regarding not only new character animations (or lack thereof) but a lacking endgame as well. Slapz gives his take.
With the holiday season around the corner, the guys address the elephant in the room that is women being bad gift givers (42:00)
Disney + has been the topic of everyone’s discussion, so the fellas give their early impressions of the service and what they’re looking forward to (50:51). They also compare the value between existing streaming services (1:02:40).
Finally, the gang closes the show out with some quick thoughts about X019 (1:17:30) before BRING IT BACK (1:20:30).
The logo has come to life!
For the first time this season, the Games on Krack Podcast is at full strength. The trio of Krack, Slapz, and Fin have descended upon your eardrums, and yeah that sounds weird and intrusive, but we all make choices in life.
The guys start the show off lamenting their lack of ability to tweet effectively in 2019 (6:46) before going into next level sicko mode and recapping Slapz’ first time meeting the one and only Teanna Trump at a club event in Detroit (17:15). The “What are We Playing?” segment is actually worth a damn because the guys all got to play The Outer Worlds (32:19)!
The gang breaks down the growing generation gap between the gamer OG’s and the Fortnite kids and how it may be negatively affecting the gaming industry at large (50:19). Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was recently released, and the early impressions have been mostly positive. GOK reacts! (1:11:23)
WWE 2K20 is a raging dumpster fire and GOK is only here to fan the flames. The guys discuss all the news around the game and the negative consequences of releasing annualized game franchises with predatory microtransaction practices (1:14:42). Is it a situation that demands government intervention (1:22:56)? Ghost Recon: Breakpoint has been sh*t on for different reasons, but the guys connect some threads and compare the failures of both games.
Games on Krack also previews some of the biggest games left in the Fall (1:54:08) before finally getting to the DC topic Krack has been not delivering on for weeks now (2:08:12).
Finally, Slapz tries to ignore his favorite NBA team going through a rough patch (2:24:21) as the guys close out the episode.
We missed a week, but we got a longer episode than usual for y'all this week. Thanks for listening!

The GOK Gang is coming fresh off Mecca Con 2019 and they wrap up all the black excellence of the weekend. A great time with many creative minds!
The guys also get into a conversation about differences in how parents of today relate to their kids and nerd culture in comparison to previous generations.
The slow news week also allowed the fellas to reminisce about their first experiences with porn. Seriously, it was a slow news week.
Finally, the guys speak on publishers possibly Beyonce’ing game releases, predict what may happen at Sony’s State of Play event, get into “Joker” reviews, and speak on a few other seemingly noteworthy topics. And more porn.
We even have a Mad Myles cameo where he once again disrespects the legacy Games on Krack has tried to build for itself!

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
Ash Ketchum is a Pokemon League Champion and the guys are showing love to Pokemon’s most lovable loser! Alola will never be the same!
After shouting out the potential sponsors and talking about what they’re playing this week, the gang gets in their Playstation bag to talk about the recent Tokyo Game Show briefings for Final Fantasy VII & Death Stranding. New trailers and significant gameplay were shown off for both games and GOK takes a deep dive into these highly anticipated games.
If you’ve listened to any of the past episodes, you understand the guys love Dragon Ball Z, and they delve into some new information about Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and reminisce a little bit about the show.
Sony UK says “X” is Cross. Y’all Brits are wilding. Go eat your crisps and crumpets after a cuppa if you got a problem…while on a lift.
Borderlands 3 & Gears 5 have come out to favorable reviews and Krack & Slapz share their initial thoughts on the critical reception.
Getting back into the conversation of old gamers vs new gamers, Krack sends a shot at his 2 year old son about testing him in the video game realm before waxing nostalgic about SEGA, who has dropped (as of 9/19) the SEGA Genesis Mini.
That and the typical brand of GOK randomness is here for your ears!
I’ll never say that again.
Enjoy!

The GANG is back for Episode 5!
Krack digs into his progress on The Backlog ™️. A little Devil May Cry talk leads to a discussion about Celeste and the perceived heavy handedness of the critically acclaimed narrative about mental health. Is Krack missing the point? Does he need an "Anxiety" shirt from Charlamagne?
Fall is almost here and that means there's some big game releases on the schedule. Slapz and Krack get into their most anticipated games of the season.
SNES games are on Nintendo Switch Online! Does it make Nintendo's underserved and under utilized online service worth it now? Or is the lack of cadence in release schedule just more of the same in a history of Nintendo f*cking up in the online space?
CD Projekt Red decided to drop genders from character creation in CyberPunk 2077. Is this clear pandering? What difference does it make? Do you give a sh*t?
Valve throws a little salt on Metro Exodus' exclusivity switch to the Epic Store and gamers get the review bombing! Is there any more productive way to show disapproval? The guys talk about it and go on various tangents about microtransactions and other sh*t.
Motherf*cking Krack...
This was all inspired by a little Celeste & Charlamagne
