  • "Death By Live Service"

    Back with Episode 19! We've been waiting for Super SSS Rank and Mykale Smith to be back on the pod together to discuss the release of Metal Gear Solid Collection Vol 1 and all things on the horizon for the franchise. From there, we discuss the recent Bungie layoffs and how corporate greed and short sightedness seem to be leading the Gaming Industry into a riskier business space, especially with the pivot towards Live Service Gaming.


    The Call of Duty franchise seems to be right back on life support with the fans and we all are surprised to see how much momentum Tekken 8 seems to be building as some of the energy around Mortal Kombat 1 and Street Fighter 6 seems to be cooling off.


    When it comes to Anime, the Attack on Titan anime has finally come to a close and THAT ending gets discussed in full, as well as some of the fan backlash towards the inconsistent animation quality with the latest season of Jujutsu Kaisen. Thank you for watching, listening, liking, and subscribing!
