MJ and Blue talk about gaming, our experiences, as well as News and what we are up to. We are primarily Minecrafters who have recently took on the "early" world of Hytale! Although we will be keeping tabs every week on Minecraft and Hytale, we will also be talking about all games we enjoy, past and present. Please check us out at our website. All of our socials are there. https://mjandbluegaming.carrd.co/
Blue is taking the week off, so J-Man joins MJ for Episode 27!
After catching up on The Long Dark, Glyphica: Typing, Minecraft, and some tabletop gaming, the guys dive into the latest Minecraft news and the new SULFUR CUBE-inspired mini-games.
Then they tackle the big question: Can an open world become too big?
From Minecraft and The Long Dark to Skyrim, Medieval Dynasty, No Man's Sky, and Need for Speed Underground 2, MJ and J-Man discuss exploration, procedural generation, fast travel, meaningful choices, and when traveling through a game world starts feeling like a chore.
Plus, this week's Tools of the Week and a preview of next week's discussion on modding communities.

Do We Really Need 4K & 120 FPS? | Episode 26
Is 4K resolution and 120 FPS really necessary for modern gaming? Or is having a fun, accessible game more important than pushing hardware to its limits?
This week, MJ and Blue discuss performance vs. accessibility, including 4K gaming, high refresh rates, hardware requirements, ray tracing, cross-platform development, indie vs. AAA games, and where developers should focus their resources.
Plus, we cover the latest Minecraft and Hytale updates, check out a Steam sale deal, and share our Tools of the Week.
And Episode 26 marks something new for us — we're experimenting with a video podcast format!
What do you think? Do we really need 4K & 120 FPS?
