This week's XBox Showcase had a LOT of good news, especially if you wanted Skull and Bones to be a GOOD pirate game. Also, news about layoffs at Riot, the release of a (and I'm not joking here...) GTA-Shakespeare crossover movie, and Green Day demasters their seminal album "Dookie" for a very unlikely platform.
Edie and Nick are back to catch up on TWO weeks' worth of news! We talk the impending close of Private Division (Kerbal, OlliOlli World, Hades), news about the Tomb Raider anime, and the final end of CP2077 development (only took 'em 12 years...).

Sep 24, 2023 - Oh man. That leak of Microsoft documents! So many interesting revelations -- and contradictions of what Phil et al have said in public! Let's talk about it!
