Welcome to one of the biggest GI Shows of the entire year! Nefarious ne'er do well Alex Stadnik has captured Ben Reeves and taken over as host for the week and is bringing the hype! First up, we introduce you to new hire John Carson to discuss his love of games and how he made his way to Game Informer. From there Liana Ruppert and Jay Guisao lose their collective minds over the explosive Battlefield 2042 reveal and discuss their hands-on time with DICE's bombastic shooter.

But the hype doesn't die there. Ben Reeves escapes Stadnik's grasp long enough to chat about all things Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart with the EIC himself Andrew Reiner. And stop me if you've heard this before, but we end this week's show with another amazing round of community emails and GI's Ultimate Character Rankings!

It's finally that special time of year again. E3 2021 is in the air and we can't wait to see what some of the biggest names in the video game industry have in store for their legions of fans. But one does not celebrate such an occasion with a casual 15-minute chat.

We dedicated a whole special edition of The GI Show to give our clairvoyant predictions about what the likes of Microsoft, Nintendo, and more have to surprise us when E3 (and Geoff Keighley) open their digital doors to the masses. Will we see anything from huge tentpoles such as The Elder Scrolls VI or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2? What will PlayStation's presence entail? How are we going to contain ourselves when Halo Infinite comes on screen? Only time will tell.

The wait for E3 week (weekend? Month? How do we quantify this anymore?) can be excruciating, but we have just the remedy to tide you over. Join Alex Stadnik, Liana Ruppert, Marcus Stewart, and new-hire John Carson as they dish on what they think will go down during gaming's biggest events!

On this week's episode of The Game Informer Show, we discuss a handful of the games we've been playing recently. Okay, it's just Cyberpunk 2077, but that game is still a handful. We're also joined by community member Bob Buel (of the 99 Questions podcast), who won an auction during Extra Life to be on the show, and he talks about some games he's been playing, like Astro's Playroom and Tetris Effect: Connected. 

At the end of the show, we interview arcade industry vet Eugene Jarvis who talks about his work on games like Defender, Robotron, and Smash TV. Jarvis also shares more about how fans would try to cheat old arcade games for free plays. It's a full show, but we make time for another fantastic round of community emails in there somewhere. So please join Kim Wallace, Andrew Reiner, Liana Ruppert, Bob Buel, Alex Van Aken, and myself for another wild and ever-entertaining episode!

The Game Awards 2020 is set to air this Thursday, December 10 at 6:00 PM CST. While we know that 2020 was a remarkable year in the world of video games, we don't yet know how journalists and fans will vote. Will The Last of Us Part II walk away with all of the awards? Will Hades be crowned game of the year? Could Yakuza: Like a Dragon be snubbed altogether? In this Game Informer podcast extra, Liana Ruppert, Marcus Stewart, Blake Hester, Alex Stadnik, and Ben Reeves try their best to predict the big winners as well as forecast some of the new game announcements.

On this week's exciting new episode of The Game Informer Show, we're joined by the Spawn On Me podcast's host and creator Kahlief Adams to discuss what we've been playing including Microsoft Flight Simulator, Battletoads, and more! Later in the segment, we discuss the absolutely bonkers reveal of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War that took place in Activision's Warzone battle royale. 

Our main talker for the week, though, comes from the report that Nintendo is ramping up production on a more powerful model of the Switch for 2021. We unpack what we want from the house that Mario built from both a console and game perspective and examine what the next few years could look like for the Switch.

As always, we end the show with another gripping round of community emails and character rankings. So please join Kahlief Adams, Joe Juba, Jeff Cork, and me for one of the most fun episodes we've put out this year.

Thank you again to Kahlief for joining us on today's show. Be sure to give him a follow on Twitter and check out the Spawn On Me podcast where he spotlights amazing people of color in the video game industry.
