Happy Halloween! To close out spooky season, AudioNerd and Big Nkrumah are talking about the horrific allegations surrounding the imminent release of Bayonetta 3 and the scary (not really) prospect of James Gunn taking over the DC film universe. Also, have you noticed how queer Apex Legends and Destiny are? We certainly have! With the launch of Apex Legend's newest trans character, Catalyst, and Destiny's latest season featuring a queer mom, we decided it was time to talk about it. What are the benefits and limitations of queer representation in these games? You'll have to listen to hear the answer [spoiler alert: there is no answer].

Hey Gamer Friends! This episode we're "Logging On" with the releases of Sniper Elite 5, Roller Champions, Industria, Mario Strikers: Battle League, The Quarry, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge. We also cover the successful unionization of Raven QA at Activision Blizzard King, making them the first game workers union in the United States! We also somehow ended up in an E3 season without E3, including the Summer Games Fest, Sony's most recent State of Play, the Microsoft/Bethesda Showcase, and Devolver Digital's annual meta-commentary soap opera. There are literally too many games to list, so we won't!

Due to the sheer number of announcements and trailers, we're pushing our usual Nerddom and Homescreen segments to the next episode, our 100th full-length episode!
