We kick things off this week with a look forward to Starfield as Ryan contemplates how he's going to finish Baldur's Gate III by September 6th, although he did just wrap up Act I and is making his way through Act II of BG III. Jocelyn on the other hand checked in on the Texas Chain Saw Massacre game, which shouldn't surprise anyone given her love of Dead by Daylight. Finally, Ryan took a break from clicking through a giant RPG with the latest swashbuckling adventure, En Garde! Moving into the news, Charles Martinet is stepping back as the voice of Mario, Xbox has some new wraps for the Series X, PlayStation Portal is the new Remote Play device from Sony, and our highlights from Gamescom 2023.

We return with a little more Fallout 4 (last time for a bit, we promise) and a lot more Dead by Daylight (going to be a fun year). After going over the 8th Anniversary stream for Dead by Daylight, we move into other video game news from the past week. We start with the thing Ryan likely shouldn't buy which is the Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, then move over to Tomb Raider returning for a TV show on Amazon, Square Enix will re-focus on multi-platform releases, and we have a new Assassin's Creed arriving in November.

TGI 603 – Don’t Buy It Ryan

We kick off the show with the question on everyone's mind, should you purchase Hades II in Early Access? We also continue to have Fallout on the brain with Ryan still playing Fallout 4 and we then go into spoilers for the Fallout TV Show. If you're not caught up, you may want to come back to this discussion later. Moving into the news, Microsoft once again closes studios and lays off staff, PlayStation gets into and out of hot water with Helldivers 2 on PC, and Nintendo acknowledges the Switch successor in a Tweet.

We kick off the show with 60 seconds of Jocelyn approved Knuckles talk. Then we quickly divert to Fallout 4 on PC, inspired by Ryan's viewing of the Amazon Prime TV show.

Then Ryan shares his thoughts on the Backbone One USB-C Gen 2 controller, which he has been using with Apple Arcade, Remote Play apps, and the new Delta emulator. As for specific games, Ryan checks out a new rougelite in Early Access called Shadow of the Depth. Moving into the news, PlayStation looks set to have a PS5 Pro this Fall with Enhanced games, PC gamers have a new overlay to look forward to with trophies, and Embracer splits into three “and Friends” companies.

Like most we have Fallout on the brain with Season 1 dropping on Amazon Prime. But before that Ryan concludes his watch through of Halo Season 2. Jocelyn shares her adventures in Hearthstone Battlegrounds Duos. Over in the news we FINALLY know who will voice Shadow in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, a certain someone thinks games should have tip screens, Ubisoft makes not so great headlines with Star Wars Outlaws, and Take-Two announces layoffs while cancelling unspecified projects.
