I've noticed the same thing. Looks like Episode 81 is the latest.

GameXplain |OT| “Let’s see what secrets and hidden details the old Analysis Machine has to find!”
- Thread starter Neiteio
- Start date
I think they've been under tight deadlines lately. Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon and now Xenoblade 2 (in addition to the regular hustle and bustle of this time of year).
Thanks for the confirmation guys, I wasn't sure as something like this happened on the podcast app before it turned out it just wasn't delivering episodes.
ERRRRRR....
Anyways I like GameXplain because they cover some of the more...obscure games. I also like the conments section.
I guess now's as good a time as any to note that episode 82 is up now. "Nutty November."
I haven't had time to listen to it yet.
I feel kind of bad that I jumped on the train at the same time as most people did: During the weekly Smash discussions that looked at the screenshots and talked about what it meant. That said though, I'm glad the channel has done so much more besides that. Really would be great to do something similar to these guys and have my own discussion videos and such.
Keep up the great work GameXplain. ^_^

I like them, though I will admit I had to unsubscribe during the height of the "NX Rumors" era.
Glad that the podcast is up. I will admit, I was a patron but I ended due to the podcast not arriving consistently. I still really enjoy it as a secondary product of the main channel. I may become a patron again in the new year. Derrick does an excellent job with it.
Thanks for the heads up, I'll save it for my commute tomorrow =)
Great idea for an OT, Neiteio!
Andre, Derrick, and Ash, you guys rock! I'll often listen to your videos while cooking. As an analyst myself, I really enjoy your ability to break down videos and trailers and reconstruct thoughtful plausibilities from them :]

Ah GameXplain. My go-to source for video analysis and impressions. Keep up that stellar work, Andre and co!
If anyone from GameXplain reads this thread, hope you guys are checking in on Derrick, that workload he's been having for the past couple of weeks sounds like hell.
It's already a shame he has to play XC2 at an accelerated pace, but he probably shouldn't have to sacrifice his physical and mental well-being for the review :P 10 hours a day for a week straight is madness.
At this rate his review will be a 2-hour long series of incoherent ramblings lol

He's earned himself a rest for sure. Derrick seems ok though, just a very busy time with tight deadlines.
This season is always crunch time for reviewers because of how many games release. Yeah Derrick has had his hands full the past month with 2 RPG's. I say as long as he feels he is still physically and mentally well it is fine.
62 hours in 6 days...so he has been playing for 10 hours a day?!
That's...I hope he's doing fine! Really looking forward to the review, especially if it ends up being as lengthy as X's was.

I can't listen now. Do they mention Megaman Battle Network? Or is it a boring realist discussion? :P
Love that there's an OT for Gamexplain. I followed them casually for years for just news, but in the past year with a new job they've become my go to place for background noise while at work. Their discussions and predictions are fantastic, and just the thing for a Nintendo fan like myself. And I just learned from this thread they have a podcast? Well I know what I'm listening to for the next few months. Also I don't normally watch Let's Plays, but as one of the few who really loved Sticker Star, I always enjoy watching others play it, and I've been quite liking Derrick's playthrough. Only have one more left to finish the series and am excited. If any of the crew reads this, thanks a bunch for what you do!
I won't spoil it, but Derrick gets out there with the crazy predictions
Listening now. Derrick hasn't played any Battle Network game? He should totally stream them, they're so good and I'm sure they'd be right up his alley.
Just another dime a dozen game news outlet that reuploads all of Nintendo's videos. They just happen to be run by a few cool people.
that's... ridiculously reductive. besides, the modern games media is largely personality driven, so even if what you said were accurate, a "few cool people" is reason enough to justify their existence. but on top of that is all the well researched content they put out on a daily basis.

The cool people part is what makes them awesome. Their long-term content like analyses, discussions, reviews, and podcast set them apart. That's when the personalities and opinions are at the forefront. I'm glad they reupload most of Nintendo's stuff, as it makes it easier for me to access it all.
It almost got lost for me too amid the many Mega Man videos uploaded today. Now for the analysis video. =)

Man, the Mega Man 11 discussion featuring Ash is so good. SO GOOD.
I don't have much experience with the Mega Man series, but Ash's enthusiasm is infectious. It does my heart good to see someone get their dream game. It's also neat hearing Ash's take on Mega Man's character — how he's a peace-loving robot who doesn't want to fight but is thrust into these situations, and how there's this melancholy element that adds to the character's depth. It's great to hear that the dev team shares this view and talked about it in the live-stream.
Also, watching the footage loop over and over, it really does look like a super-solid game. The jumping and shooting look really tight. Great hit detection, air control and falling speed, etc. The enemies and traps all telegraph themselves clearly. The levels have a clean aesthetic that's easy to read, and a good flow to their layout. It's being developed internally at Capcom Japan, so I guess Mega Man really is back.

Yeah, Ash's enthusiasm in that video really motivates me to get into the Mega Man franchise. I grew up with the Battle Network games and adored the gameplay of those.
I got Legacy Collection for 3DS, but felt burnt out after beating Mega Man 1 because it was really hard compared to most games these days. I've never tried the X series or the rest of the original franchise but I kind of want to now to hype myself up for 11.

I downloaded MM2 when Mega Man was announced for Smash and I was very impressed by how good the controls are.
Mega Man 2 is far more manageable and arguably one of the easiest in the franchise. It single-handedly created an entire generation of fans and took what was a novel premise and built a multi-national franchise and gaming icon largely starting with that one sequel. I think it's very much worth jumping into MM2 next. (Plus the music is really good)
OP

Yeah, my only criticism of MM2 is there are some levels where you drop down from a higher level to a lower level and it's kind of a leap of faith where you might helplessly hit enemies or traps on your way down. Of course, on replaying the level you know what's coming, but those moments feel a bit trial and error the first time through. Still, they're quick and fairly isolated moments. Nothing major.
Some of you folks are in for a treat. A number of those Mega Man games are so good.
I've not played all of the X games. But I have played all of the Classic series. Ash isn't the only one excited. (And he's definitely not the only one who thinks this means Mega Man will be back in the next Smash Bros.)

I'll add it to the list. I'll aim to get through it before 11 next year. I've definitely seen it played and heard its music before. Amazing stuff.
I didn't watch the game awards (or have any interest in them whatsoever), but I enjoyed GX's pre- and post-show discussions a lot. Shout out to RogersBase on nailing Bayonetta!
I don't like the cutesy term for analysis as "The old analysis machine" or the skits they sometimes do in front of videos, and really dislike their cartoon avatars because they look so smug.
Otherwise they seem like good people and I generally enjoy their content.
Also they have a really bad habit of yelling into microphones, which is terrible if anyone wears headphones. I swear my right ear is still ringing from a Mega Man video they did last week where one of them got overexcited

I remember when I joked about Daisy amiibo support in Pikmin in the comments section a few months before it launched....and it was actually true.
Ah the memories.
