So Final Fantasy XVI happened, and the fellas are mighty impressed. To quote one podcaster, "Game of the last few years". And he might be right, we spend this entire podcast discussing how and why FF XVI works, and inevitably plan for a spoilercast in the future.

Now it's Xbox's turn to show off cool stuff like Fable, Forza, and a bunch of videos that might eventually turn into games like Bioclockwork.

We discuss all the cool and uncool things about the PlayStation Showcase 2023. Spider-Man 2? Great! Phantom Blade Zero? A nice surprise! PSVR 2? Sad trombone. Join Paul and James for all their well formed opinions.

Unfortunately, Redfall also happened. It's the good and the bad, and the bad is also the ugly, but the good is PROBS game of the year? Maybe.

Can Xbox get a solid W someday? For gaming's sake, please use that infinite cashflow to NOT F it up for once.

It's videogames and stuff, what more are you looking for?

Destiny 2 Lightfall, PSVR2, and more Octopath Traveler 2 are rocking - or something - our worlds. Also, we're calling it - Starfield and SpiderMan 2 will go head to head this fall.

Octopath Traveler 2 and some video game stuff, but more importantly we were doin' it live.

The Nintendo Direct consumes our discussion because heck, there was just so much good stuff! Elsewhere, James talks about Octopath Traveler 2, and Paul think Kirby's Return to Dreamland could be a sleeper hit. But will the Switch GBA project finally give us an English Mother 3 release? Nope. Not if Reggie has anything to say about it.

We're just fools living in a post PT era where scary stuff is more boring than scary. But HiFi Rush is surprisingly delightful.
