This week we're bringing you all the news that's fit to hear, assuming it's video game related and I noticed it. We're talking about The Big O from Origin PC and the PS5 and Series X leaks. Then we have quite the discussion about the problematic game industry. Ostensibly this episode is about the book Blood, Sweat And Pixels by Jason Schreier. But we couldn't really talk about the book without being drawn into the rabbit hole of the books overarching themes. Come have a listen and let us know what you thought by emailing us at [email protected].
