Microsoft bought Bethesda. That’s not a sentence anyone thought they would read when this week started yet here we are. The crew discuss the impact of this industry-shattering event along with the future ramifications right after they trade next-gen console pre-order tales, James/Rod travel to the Underworld in Hades, and Chris finishes Marvel’s Avengers and dives into the new Samurai Jack game!

The week brings another PS5 showcase filled with upcoming games, the console release date, and price! Before that, James and Rod continue digging into Marvel’s Avengers while Chris gets into the rhythm with Bullets Per Minute.

Huge news abound for a short week! Chris re-discovers Monster Hunter: World while James and Rod indulge in superheroics and extreme sports with the week’s brand new releases of Marvel’s Avengers and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2. In the meantime, Sony’s gaining further interest in putting first-party titles on PC, Oculus may have a Quest 2 ready sooner than anticipated, and at long last...Microsoft has finally revealed their full launch details!
