Good morning gamers, and welcome to the Gamer's Roast Podcast! Josh is out this week finalizing his move, so Aaron is back on the show to talk about a whole heap of gaming news! We start out with a new coffee all the way from Milwaukee: the Pabst Family Coffee! Then, we take a look at some questionable Sony decisions regarding their brand-new PlayStation Plus service rebrand. Then, Capcom may have dropped some hints that they're reviving old franchises, so...more Megaman? Then we take a look at Nintendo's interesting solution to an epidemic of online cheaters as they prepare to release Splatoon 3. And finally, it looks like EA has been seeking a buyer recently...could this be the best move for the company? It's always a blast to have Aaron on the show, and this was a fun one!

Good morning gamers, and welcome to another episode of the Gamer's Roast Podcast! We've got a whole heap of news for you this week, but our main story is the recent announcement that Starfield has been delayed to early 2023. There's a lot of speculation that Xbox might be taking on more than they can handle with their recent set of studio acquisitions. In addition to all that, Wes has a roast on Meta for pointlessly blurring their brand-new VR headset, and the guys talk a little about a fascinating "de-make" of Portal that runs on, of all things, the N64. And finally, we talk a little bit about an IT professional that took things a little too personally. Thanks for tuning in!
