This week we discuss Halo Infinite's delay and what we think about game delays. Are they good or just annoying?

We hit a milestone this week with our 10th episode, thanks for listening! 

We discuss Sony's decision not to have support for PS4 Controllers with PS5 games, if skill-based matchmaking is necessary, and how nobody cared about Sony's State of Play.

Microsoft announced that Halo Infinite's multiplayer mode will be free, and we discuss whether that's a good thing or not. We also give our thoughts on politics in video games and if it's a problem (hint:it's not).

New format! Moving forward the podcast is going to be focused on us sharing our opinions and experiences around gaming. This week we give our reactions to the Xbox Games Showcase, and decide how important should side-quests be in video games.
