Player 2 is Joshua Parrott. Topics include my disappointment with the Borderlands 2 save system, the ridiculous level of micro transactions in Elder Scrolls Blades, our excitement and predictions for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and Wired's exclusive interview with Mark Cerny on the Playstation 5 err I mean the Next Gen Playstation.
