NLSC Podcast Logo

From courtside of the virtual hardwood, it’s Episode #637 of the NLSC Podcast!

The specifications of the Steam Machine have been confirmed along with the prices for both models, with and without a single controller. Suffice it to say that the announced details have generated a considerable amount of commentary and controversy! To that end, this week we’re breaking down everything that we know about the Steam Machine, from specs to potential to value for money. We also join the community in discussing whether we’ll be picking one up in light of the power and price. While the Steam Machine offers some intriguing possibilities – especially for advanced users – there are certainly questions as to whether the average gamer will get adequate bang for their buck.

NLSC Podcast #384: A Couple of Pre-Ordering, PC Nerds

Episode #384 of the NLSC Podcast is out now! Derek (aka Dee4Three) and I are your hosts for this weekly podcast that’s all about basketball gaming.

The cover players, release date, and pre-order bonuses for NBA 2K22 have been revealed, confirming leaks and speculation, and drawing some boorish comments about one player in particular. Unfortunately, the PC version will be a prior gen port once again this year, and we have some thoughts to share on that. Despite the remarks of one wannabe content creator, PC gamers have a right to be dismayed…and to play NBA 2K, for that matter. The lack of a demo on all platforms is likewise disappointing. Elsewhere, a Tweet mentioning a partnership between LeBron James and EA has people talking, though we don’t want to get ahead of ourselves (again). We also touch on Steam Deck, and some listener responses to last week’s mailbag topics.
