This week we have some news about buying habits of gamers, some more unions, Japan trying to crack down on AI, and Escape from Ducktov!  Then Peterson reviews a couple of Next Fest Demos. JD picks his Dice game.

This week Peterson creates our template apology video.  Discord is breeding terrorists, "I told you so" from litigator of Activision Acquisition, and more.  JD asks about games that let us down.

This week the news gets juicy.  And we're not talking pineapple juice (not this time, at least), we're talking about EA getting sold to the Saudis, another mom sues video games for not raising her son, Destiny 2, Costco?, and a bunch of other fun stuff.  Then Peterson talks about revisiting an old mobile game fling, and JD chooses his Dice game.  We also bully some video game execs exclusively based on their names like we're in 4th grade again.

In the news we have Borderlands 4 and the Pitchford response, Pokemon company files a crazy patent, Pornogate 2025 continues, LocalThunk is amazing.  Then we tell the game devs what games they should remaster.

I promise it gets better.  I'm talking about the audio quality.  It gets better about 18 minutes in.  We do some news and then turn tv shows into games.  Peterson picks his Dice game.

This episode is not brought to you by Pipo Burger but you're going to hear about it.  Nintendo movie studio, Light No Fire, Porngate continues, and Roblox takes over the world.  We talk about Pipo Burger.  Then JD Asks what are the most physically demanding games that aren't Pipo Burger.  Then JD reviews Merge Maestro while very obviously thinking about Pipo Burger.  We reroll the dice and then JD shows Peterson a picture with his Pipo.

This week we get hit again by tariffs, Bungie's boss is leaving, Silksong gets a release date and Trent starts a rap beef with Peterson.  We play some foodio games and JD picks his Dice game.
