142: Battlefront II, Microtransactions, And Pocket Camp

Nothing signifies Christmas more than Black Friday, and Gary knows a thing or two about the terrors and madness of that shopping day.

Speaking of Gary, he opens this week after making his return, and talks HOB. He's in love with the game. It's big world has sucked him in. He also played, so you don't have to, Battlefront II, where Brian chips his thoughts in having Redboxed it. The game looks good, but the story leaves something to be desired. Brian finished up Horizon Zero Dawn's DLC. It's the perfect game to play for Christmas, though be on the look out for bear robots. Then Brian and Stephen get into a discussion about Mario Odyssey briefly and then quickly move on to the newly released Animal Crossing Pocket Camp. It's all about the Leaf Tickets. Lastly, Anthony is still going through Pokemon Ultra Sun & Moon. The real horror is the text you still can't skip.

The news this week is bleak. Just black Friday deals taking up the spotlight. But the drunk crew is able to suss up some interesting stories to talk about such as, Loot Box issues, Plants vs Zombies creator controversy, an update to Splatoon, and more.
