I’m getting over a cold, so please excuse my weak voice and any coughing I couldn’t quite edit out.

Juicy topics includes:

  • The Nintendo Switch Reveal
    • Our thoughts on the reveal trailer.
    • Do 6 star hotels exist?
    • We try to remember the name of the Wisconsin city “Kenosha”
    • Who is this product for? xWill 3rd parties support it?
    • What the system needs to do in order to have a chance.
    • Microsoft Surface Products and new Apple Macbooks
      • MS is going for the markets Apple has traditionally held.
      • Why Microsoft should concentrate on enterprise customers.
      • Could a Surface Phone ever exist?
      • Is Apple screwing their most loyal customers? Do they even care?
      • How do you pronounce “Wacom”?
      • Bethesda’s new Game Review policy 
        • They are no longer giving out advance review copies.
        • Only available to critics one day before launch.
        • Why are they doing this? We discuss reaons beyond knee-jerk reactions.
        • Ben finally sees the Ghostbuster remake!
          • (Trigger warning: I kind of liked it)
          • Jones discusses how it compares to Paul Feig’s previous movies (which I have not seen)
          • How the original Ghostbusters painted itself into a corner in such a way that made sequels difficult and remakes easier.
          • Jones has noticed Tom Cruise has had a lot of recent movies with strong female leads.
          • How other recent movies have given women strong roles without just doing a “gender swap”.
          • Then Jones and I go completely off topic and discuss Bram Stoker’s Dracula and The Rocketeer.

            • Enjoy!
