So there was a mixer just for ninjas? Oh, a Ninja Mixer?! My mom got one for her birthday.

Wait...

So apparently Ninja, the world's most famous person with red/blue hair, recently announced that he is going to stream exclusively on Mixer now. Don't know what Mixer is? Us either. It's Microsoft's streaming platform that no one uses....UNTIL NOW!

In this episode, Amar and Andy discuss what this news means for Twitch, and streaming as a whole. Andy, who is an actual lawyer, gets excited about a contract. Nerd.

Also, the guys talk about breastfeeding on Twitch, which is apparently a thing now. It may be controversial, but you gotta feed your kids. No problems here.

We here at the Bored Certified Gaming Podcast promise to never move this podcast to Mixer for any reason.

If you work for Mixer, please disregard that last sentence. We're open to negotiations.

In this episode, Amar and Andy discuss how money is being earned by teens, gambled away by adults, and spent on new releases by us.

The Fortnite World Cup just wrapped up, and teenagers have floss danced enough to earn more cash than we'll ever hope to have in our entire lives. If only we were halfway decent at video games. Looks like we'll have to keep our real jobs after all.

Next, GTAV finally has the holy trinity of bad influences. Sex, crime, and now gambling! Mothers, now is the time to get your kids a copy of Grand Theft Auto V and give them life skills they'll need for when they go bankrupt and need to sleep on your couch. I mean it's only a couple slot machine pulls and poker hands. I can quit at any time.

Finally, Amar picked up Fire Emblem recently and has already put FOURTEEN hours into it. He gives his honest thoughts about the game and adds to the pile of shame that is our game backlog. We're disappointed too.

Game companies are putting out their titles faster than ever; but should they? I mean, they're just taking care of business, and working overtime (work out). Andy's by himself this week, burning the midnight oil. He dishes on employee burnout at game developers and why it's kind of our fault. Before you get defensive, he thinks it's a product of the times as well. We are always itching to play the new great IPs and their inevitable sequels. Game studios know this, and want to scratch that itch as much as possible. It equates to more eyeballs turning into dollar signs. To keep up, technology gets better and faster and employees see their families less. It's how these businesses are run, but that doesn't mean it's good.

Is there anything we as consumers can do? Is there that sweet spot in work life balance that also gets us our games when we want to play them? Can we be a little more patient? That last one is a joke.

To end the episode, Andy also reaches into his backlog and shames himself publicly for not giving a certain game more attention. Boo this man. Boo.

NOW QUIT READING AND GET BACK TO WORK.

So we have a podcast now! In the pilot episode, Amar and Andy discuss the newly announced Nintendo Switch Lite! It's basically a diet version of the Switch, and we're pretty intrigued to say the least. We dive into some specs and go through the pros and cons of each in order to help you guys determine if you should SWITCH over to this one. Bad pun, I know.

That being said, we're probably going to be buying one. We're suckers for this stuff. We're also old and just want the Game Boy Advance to be cool again.

Speaking of being old, we also talk about what's new with the Call of Duty Modern Warfare reboot/refresh/remaster. Didn't that come out already, twice? There's too many to keep up with.
