This week we're talking about the huge Google Stadia announcement that dropped last week, what questions we still have about the platform, if the US in particular is prepared for a streaming-only platform, and the reaction we may see from the rest of the gaming industry. Micah and Terrence are talking about their first impressions of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Oh, and Sony probably should've set expectations for their State of Play presentation this week.   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show: www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels You can now follow us on Twitch!
