6:54 PMAndrew Eisen​There is no Zuul, only Andrew!

6:56 PMpsychadelic snake​a lonely stream

6:56 PMpsychadelic snake​until we showed up

6:56 PMotritzu​Evenin' Won't be to lonely there's at least a couple of people in the audience.

6:57 PMpsychadelic snake​ain't much gaming new lately

6:57 PMpsychadelic snake​besides gearbox pissing off everyone

6:58 PMpsychadelic snake​yep

6:58 PMotritzu​Is that about the pay to win-ish stuff in it?

6:58 PMpsychadelic snake​randy is on Twitter telling the consumer base to fuck off when everyone showed how angry they were

6:58 PMpsychadelic snake​borderlands...

6:59 PMpsychadelic snake​I mean its OKAY, the first one was fun, the second was just them beating jokes into the ground

7:00 PMpsychadelic snake​actually no, but some of the guns did fuck all :/

7:00 PMpsychadelic snake​like compared to other guns, most guns just weren't even viable, even for meming

7:01 PMpsychadelic snake​epic stores has already had multiple security breaches, and that's gonna be a big yikes in my book if I'm supposed to trust them with my CC info

7:03 PMpsychadelic snake​call of duty world war 2 was actually pretty fub

7:03 PMpsychadelic snake​fun*

7:04 PMpsychadelic snake​assassins creed retconning the hidden blade finger sacrifice xdddddd

7:04 PMTiegerzz​It’s the same with music. There’s certain groups where you hear it for less than a few seconds and you already know who it is. Then there’s groups where they sound like every other industry group lol

7:05 PMpsychadelic snake​like all star

7:05 PMpsychadelic snake​in the first game you had to cut off the ring finger to use the hidden blade.

7:05 PMotritzu​Ezio was the first one to get away without losing his finger to the hidden blade

7:06 PMpsychadelic snake​in oddysey, the MC doesn't have any trouble using the hidden blade even with his ring finger still on.

7:06 PMaddictedtochaos​Hi all

7:07 PMpsychadelic snake​i stopped playing after 3 tbh

7:08 PMpsychadelic snake​ever have a movie you're hyped for, then you see it and its pure garbage? that was World war Z for me.

7:08 PMotritzu​In Altair's time they used a fist over the blade, requiring them to remove the ring finger to make room for the blade. Later Assassins figured out how to use it without having to lose a finger.

7:09 PMpsychadelic snake​@ori but doesn't oddysey take place before altairs time? the game that takes place in egypt

7:09 PMotritzu​Should be. IF they didn't have the main character using a hidden blade they'd still have all their fingers.

7:10 PMotritzu​I haven't played AC O. I wouldn't know.

7:11 PMpsychadelic snake​ive seen gameplay ACO the MC can freely use it without worry, he only loses his finger when he clenched his fist in a fight and popped the knife

7:12 PMotritzu​Huh? Really? Eh, that's a Ubisoft's internal lore problem then.

7:13 PMpsychadelic snake​world war Z the BOOK, was a good portrayal of a realistic zombie outbreak

Every week, former GamePolitics writer Andrew Eisen discusses all the super important happenings in video games, movies, comics, politics and everything else under the sun. Molehill Mountain—where every topic is of the utmost importance!

Just because it's clearly ineffective and will predictably exacerbate the problem doesn't mean we shouldn't do it anyway, right?

9:46 - Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice may not be very fun to play, but there is a lot Andrew likes about it

26:08 - We speculate on what the rumored new Switch SKUs could be

35:13 - It's Sega's turn to release a mini retro console

46:58 - Sony and Microsoft introduce their own takes on the Nintendo Direct, to varying degrees of success

6:58 PMAndrew Eisen​What censorship spree?

7:00 PMotritzu​Evenin, guys.

7:00 PMaddictedtochaos​They are forcing third party devs to censor games before they will allow it to release or outright blocking games from release even though they had already been rated by the ESRB.

7:00 PMpsychadelic snake​Andrew forgive me

7:00 PMpsychadelic snake​for I've sinned

7:01 PMpsychadelic snake​the rape day game seems like another poorly made edgy game
