This week, we talk about birthday parties (which takes a fun turn of events), nostalgia for old objects, and whether we think the movie industry can face a massive change in the near-future thanks to streaming services. Grab a drink and come hang out, it's Cocktail Hour after all!

Jesse Lucatino (JMLMaster) joins Anthony, Jeff & Miguel to talk Xbox Series X and PS5 impressions! We go over features we do and don't like on the new consoles, talk about the fascinating and excellent Astro's Playroom, dig into some other next gen games and lambast the Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War multiplayer.


Also - this is, in fact, episode 30. Anthony looked at the wrong Google Doc for the episode number, oops?

Cyberpunk Delayed (Again), Miguel Owns a DualSense Controller, Warzone: Black Ops In December? - Faster Than Reloading Ep 28

In a relatively light news week, the guys talk about what they've been playing including Warzone's new Halloween themed event and Anthony's return trip to Bloodborne's Yharnam (and surrounding atrocities). We get a peak at what third party accessories for the PS5 can look like, get some hints at a streaming future for Game Pass and finally see a sneak peak at Tom Holland as our favorite resident treasure hunter Nathan Drake! We wrap up the show with a discussion on the games that GameInformer has listed as Games of the Generation and then add in our own picks!
