Palworld, the game that's accurately been described as “Pokémon with guns” has been a punchline since its announcement in 2021. However, within three days of its January 18th release, it sold 5 million copies and became the #1 game on Twitch. With its derivative yet winning formula and plagiarized-ish art style, could this little game from an unknown Japanese indie studio become the superhit of the year?

We'll also be discussing how Microsoft is once again being criticized for the appearance of ads on the Xbox dashboard, how Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is heading back to US theaters ahead of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's release, and how the Florida Joker is demanding that Rockstar Games let him voice the character based on his likeness in Grand Theft Auto 6.

Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. This week, we're looking at the keyboard terrorist hacking group Lizard Squad.
