Phil's out. Asha's in. Sarah's fled the building. Man, we knew there would be heads rolling at Microsoft, but we didn't see that one coming (and apparently, Sarah Bond didn't either). We talk about what this might mean for XBox Gaming and how having an AI exec calling the shots on the future of XBox games might affect what we'll see from Microsoft in the coming years. Also, reviews of Slay the Spire (mobile) and Mewgenics. Join our Discord: discord.gg/s6ymDZ8gBn

Nick watched Sony's State of Play (Edie didn't yet), so we go over the reveals: God of War! Alan Wake! Bunch of other stuff! Also, pro tip: don't send Claire Obscura artbooks to Iraq or you'll get a visit from the antiquities police! Special guest: Andrew "Creation Chaos" Smith!

It's Super Bowl Sunday, and while everyone else is glued to the pre-game festivities, Edie and Nick (joined by special guest Andrew "CreationChaos" Smith) are here to discuss what's really important: Roblox's new GenAI tool that BLATANTLY rips off Clair Obscura 33. Wow, that did NOT take as long as we thought it would. Also, BaRB says it didn't make a broken game; MindsEye was sabotaged... sabotaged I tell ya! New Horizon Dawn game gets debuted, and new consoles coming to Switch Online. We also review tabletop game Moonrollers, Iron Lung (the movie, not the game), Simulacura, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Stuff is looking bad at the green monster. Hardware sales down. Software sales down. Unrealistic revenue goals not only missed, they weren't even in the ballpark of profitable. Edie has a frightening prediction no one hopes come true. She and Nick review Iron Lung (the game... the movie is next week), as well as covering news, including how Jeffrey Epstein got banned from XBox live, and Edie's surprising realtion to the revelation that there's FNAF "corn."

Edie and Nick finally agree! Using AI for NPCs is just a bad idea. Doesn't mean anyone is listening, including XBox. We discuss the Developer Direct reveal of Fable and how having a "massive world" populated by 100% interactable NPCs is just... too much! We also discuss the restructuring of Ubisoft, which only promises to mean studio sell-offs and closures, and we review "Mandgragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree."

This could finally be it. This death rivals some of the most overplayed, overly dramatic, drawn out deaths in cinema. Finally, it seems, GameStop won't be pulled back from the brink by Reddit stock-shorting groups; it may have finally drawn its last breath and gone to sing with the choir invisible. Oh... but don't worry. The Crypto Bro who took over as CEO is getting $35 million as an exit bonus. Also, XBox Developers Direct is coming next week.

Nick and Edie start off the year without a bang... Because we're old, we're tired, and we gotta go back to work tomorrow and it SUCKS.

Nick's in Florida. Edie's in a remote location. But we're bringing you a show, anyway, because you fu**ers deserve it. We talk the death of CoD founder in a fiery car crash, 007 First Light delay, and how Marathon has been re-revealed and it's not looking awful, or so we've heard.

Final show before Christmas, and Nick and Edie are already starting to wrap the year up. We talk the scary decline in hardware and the increase in software sales, Where Winds Meet's content bonanza, and what's up with the Intergalactic demo.

It's our first show back from Thanksgiving, and man, did Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 dominated the Game Awards? Did the hype overshadow rightly or wrongly? Join our Discord and chat with us all the time: https://discord.gg/JB5R4DD3e6
