Please be advised, Episode 69 of the podcast is just for fun, not meant to be taken seriously, and is not indicative of the direction of the podcast. It is an explicit adults-only episode in which we discuss sexual content found within video games. If you don’t like this episode, don’t worry, we will return to our regularly scheduled weekly gaming news next week. Feel free to skip this episode if you find it inappropriate. We will see you next week with even more gaming news.

It’s finally here. The much-talked-about 69th episode of the HPCRITICAL podcast in which we delve into all the inappropriate video game sex scenes and discuss some eye-popping situations. Joined by a friend of the site Sterling, we answer some very personal questions about some specific video game characters we find attractive, and even more hilarious and in-depth sexual inquiries on gaming. Listener discretion advised this is definitely not your average HPCRITICAL PODCAST. While we will return next week with some E3 predictions, and get back to our regularly scheduled programming, this week was made for pure unadulterated fun. Have a listen if you dare.

*We, unfortunately, lost the video for this episode but you can still listen below. *

Join Jerel, Brandon, Kellie, and Gabe, as they have both serious and silly discussions that pertain to the goings-on in the gaming community. This week they return to focusing on the latest hot topics in gaming, let us know whose viewpoint aligns most with your own.

SO MUCH happened this week on the HPCritical Podcast that we couldn’t discuss it alone. The first week of May was packed with a ton of gaming news and exclusives from the ongoing lawsuit between Epic Games and Apple, the shake-ups in esports, more on Cyberpunk and Google Stadia, Sony charging for cross-play, Xbox hardware not turning and profit, and all the diverse topics that popped up throughout the week. You can hear us talk about the lack of representation for Black women alongside so much more. Come have a listen.

We were joined by Brendan Groom from Pass the Controller. He brings his knowledge of the gaming industry to the HPCritical podcast crew as we enjoy talking about all things gaming for the week. You can check out his work over at Pass the Controller and don’t forget to check out the Pass The Controller Podcast as well.

Twitch possibly messes up (again), Super Mario Party tries to make up to fans by finally releasing a proper online feature, and we discuss whether people should be allowed to roleplay different ethnic and racial backgrounds in videogames in a stereotypical way? All that and so much more is on the table for the week as the HPCrtiical crew gets together once again to talk all things gaming news.

With the released analytics of hardware sales, the PlayStation Plus free games for May, Gamestop’s new monetary investment, and the release of New Pokémon Snap we had so much to discuss we once again had to bring a guest along to help us out. This week we got to speak to a friend of the site and show, Sterling. You can find his work over at Twinfinite and his new podcast Memory Card Memoirs. So join us for another week of hilarious shenanigans and quality gaming content because you don’t want to miss the great times ahead.
