Welcome to another week of PPG and we are bringing you a different type of episode this week. Over the past couple months we've had questions asked on the discord and we haven't been neglecting them, but instead we've been letting them collect so that we can answer them all in a single episode of the show -- so welcome, to round 1 of the ask us anything episodes. We're sure there will be more to come in the future as more questions come in but this is what we've got so far. You can find answers to all the questions also listed in our discord server.

This week we feel compelled to bring up the video game violence topic as it became a major issue since our recording last week. It doesn't get political though, neither of us want that but it does get a little weird. We discuss the Gold announcement of Borderlands 3, some bullshit from Take 2 Interactive and a few other nuggets going on in the gaming community right now but ultimately Pat shares something that causes a disruption in the flow of conversation and ultimately ruins the rest of the episode... if you want to see what that is, you can find it in the show notes on the website.

Maybe we didn't prepare well for this episode or maybe, just maybe, the gaming industry doesn't have exciting news each week and sometimes the best we have to work with (beyond our own nonsense) is Ninja moving from 1 Streaming Platform to another with an exclusivity deal. We also cover the August games coming out which is sadly not all that exciting either! We do talk a bit about movies, which is not normal for us but it's brief and we get back on track. TLDR: Chris hates good movies.

This week we're celebrating on passing 30 episodes by bringing in a guest! We haven't had a guest in quite awhile and our friend Alex was looking forward to getting back on the show so we've brought him back for another round! We'll find out what he's been playing this year, what his GOTY is so far, and what games he is looking forward to playing. As always, we've got some gaming and tech content we'll discuss and Alex was kind enough to bring some AYFKM "Are you f*cking kidding me?" topics for this weeks episode.

In this episode we spend WAY too much time talking about headsets and microphones. Pat went down the rabbit hole of looking for a new headset as his cat (Ekko) has been nibbling on his current one. He is even willing to give up wireless functionality?! We also talk about Chris moving over the weekend and how it poorly impacted his cat (Houdini). Finally we hit the gaming news which has some interesting stuff about the predatory practices that gaming companies use to trick you into buying more content within their games.

Title says it all this week... We're going to talk about G2A and some of the news surrounding them and why developers would rather have you torrent their games instead of buying them through G2A. We've got some other gaming topics to discuss and we cover Pats journey through this League of Legends tournament he's been in for several weeks now. Lastly, Massachusetts is trying to ban cat declawing - thank goodness! Pat is a resident of the state and will be looking into how he can support this legislation!

NO SPOILERS for Stranger Things 3! I promise, we preserve the show for you -- hush hush is how we keep it on this one but we talk about recent new games purchased through the Steam sale, upcoming Anime and some light gaming news. We manage to get on the topic of gambling again... because, Patrick. We discuss some PC hardware releases, live action Final Fantasy show coming and Patrick playing League.

This week we're making an effort to avoid all the bullshit negative issues happening in the gaming industry. Of course there is nonsense happening with large gaming companies we could discuss but it gets old and it's almost expected at this point for these companies to behave the way they do. Instead we shop on steam, which we didn't intend but we did it anyhow. We also discuss GDQ as they wrapped up another event (their biggest fundraiser yet!), and talk briefly about a few other topics like Chris' text based game he's been working on.

Let’s talk about Lootboxes — we have a bit of a back and forth around EA’s recent “Surprise Mechanics” decision to try and get around the negative spotlight for Lootboxes. A bit of random discussions come up about Netflix series, life happenings, and the upcoming Steam Summer Sale!

In this episode we're talking about something that we take very seriously -- Cat Declawing. We bring it up due to the recent bill being passed in New York to make it illegal to declaw your cat in that state, which would make NY the first state in the USA to do this. Making this practice illegal should be done in all states and there are plenty of countries that do not allow it -- we should be one of them. 

We also talk about games, mostly E3 but for once cat get some well deserved attention for this one.
