Brethren in gaming arms! It is now July, and we are through the calm period leading up to Ghost of Tsushima, as well as the Xbox Series X first party event! It has been quite a busy week with all of the news drops, so we figured we'd go through the interesting stuff and dissect it all. It ranges from games being too long, to the neverending Harry Potter RPG rumor, to Crash 4 having (and not having) microtransactions, and touching on the inevitable price increase of video games. As always, we usually go off on some tangential stuff related to the topics at hand, and we appreciate every one of you who have told us they enjoy the show, and ways we can improve it. Thank you for continuing to let us grow our project with all of you. Enjoy, friends.
