Oh God It Hz! | Episode 53: Bury Me At The MadCatz Booth In Kentia Hall

It’s ‘Not E3 Season’ in the gaming industry, and in 2024 that means a loose amalgamation of streaming events that mostly seem destined to underwhelm, as the long tail of development weirdness from the pandemic continues to sow instability after a horrific round of layoffs this year. Despite this, @GameAgentET (OGiH) and The Six-Button Samurai continue to charge into the breach, discussing Sony’s State of Play event and the forthcoming Summer Game Fest, Xbox Games Showcase, and the June Nintendo Direct (whenever that happens). In this episode, we also pick apart the fortunes of various game franchises, parsed by The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly. We also stop to observe the 1st Anniversary of Street Fighter VI, and what our hopes are from Season 2. We’re in a fighting mood on the latest OH GOD IT Hz!

Game Agent ET (aka Eddy) occasionally phones home to the US from Japan, where he has set up covert operations since 2007 under the guise of an English teacher. Originally birthed from the dusty trails of Tucson, Arizona, ET has shown great intrigue in earthly customs and rituals, such as playing video games, learning about Japanese culture, partaking in a fantasy football league, drawing depictions of humans with big kawaii eyes, and engaging in other artsy endeavors.

Six Button Samurai (aka JJJ)

What is Oh God It Hz!?

Live on tape from Tucson, AZ & Osaka, Japan… JJJ and GameAgent ET deliver a biweekly blast of insight on the world of video gaming through a retro-fueled lens as a pair of lifelong friends catching up over hot mics across the Pacific Ocean. Sometimes it’s taking on gaming’s biggest issues with the history of the biz firmly in mind, sometimes it’s an open requiem for cool things, people, and places we miss, but there’s always an inside joke being slipped into the cracks as two gentlemen whose life paths have been forever woven together and influenced by this passion of theirs as console gaming enters its ninth generation.
