E113: Gaming Back in the Day vs Now
Oh man, how will it go with one co-host currently in Florida? Well take a listen and find out!
This episodes theme is us sitting down reminiscing gaming back in the day and comparing it to have it is today. Back then vs Now so to speak. What did we like about the past? What do we like about now? Is modern gaming in a bad place? So many questions, so little time! So take a listen won't you, and hear our opinion on today's gaming industry. Damn boy, back in my day...
On the newsfront! Microsoft Activision acquisition gets more opponents, also laying of 10,000 employees. Ubisoft cancels three unannounced games and delays Skull and Bones (again!) and so much more.
Lastly, Emil is enjoying sunny, warm Florida, Jens complains about the weather in rainy, cold, grey Norway. We also played some cool games.
