The show starts about a non-gaming related topic that is difficult to discuss, but sometimes necessary regarding people's battle with depression.

Dragon Con is in just a few weeks, and I'll be on SIX PANELS!

I'm still enjoying the No Man's Sky NEXT update, although we've found some interesting syncing issues when trying to play in the same system but not at the same time.

Turn 10 Studios is removing Prize Packs from Forza Motorsport 7 and the upcoming Forza Horizon 4, and not going into heavy microtransaction mode for either game.

But don't worry, Sony has you covered, as the latest Gran Turismo Sport update adds microtransactions.

Then we talk about Dragon Con and No Man's Sky.

Who would have thought in 2016 that No Man's Sky would be one of the greatest comeback stories in gaming? There's a LOT of talk about early impressions of the NEXT update, and how it has captured my heart, at least in the beginning. Time will tell how long that lasts.

Taiko no Tatsujin is coming stateside on both the PS4 and the Switch - but questions about control schemes are abound.

Then we take calls about Octopath Traveler and No Man's Sky.

Octopath Traveler is out, and so far (all of the chapter 1's) it's pretty great.

The free NEXT update to No Man's Sky is coming out, and Hello Games' Sean Murray finally started talking to the media again.

Then we take calls about No Man's Sky and people's reaction to gaming announcements.

I appeared on Tipster Gaming's Twitch and YouTube channels to, hopefully for the last time, discuss my moderating job on the Billy Mitchell panel. Looking forward to moving on.

This weekend I attended and spoke at Atlanta Comic Con, a first time convention, about podcasting and streaming media.

A typo in an INI configuration file in 2013's Aliens: Colonial Marines made the AI a whole lot better.

Epic Games has announced that creators in the Unreal Engine Marketplace (a place for assets that game developers can buy and use) will get a higher percentage of their sales thanks to the popularity of Fortnite.

I'm going to be at Atlanta Comic Con this weekend with Charles McFall and Roberto Blake talking about podcasting and social media communities!

Amazon Prime has removed their 20% new release discount from games they deem to be "remakes or remasters" - possibly in response to Best Buy eliminating their discount.

More information about the upcoming Intellivision reboot has come out, including about the controller.

Then we take calls about H-Hour: World's Elite, SOCOM, and current state of the VR industry.

The new people in charge of the Atari name got mad at UK website The Register for writing a negative article about the VCS, and The Register decided to post the audio of the meeting.

Then we take calls about High Fidelity and Pokemon Go's new Friend system.

Before we talk about E3, I respond a little bit to the recent Variety article regarding the Billy Mitchell panel I moderated. Hopefully it is the last time we'll be talking about it for a while.

E3 was this week! Lots of cinematic experiences from Sony, and games coming in 2019 from everyone else.

Fortnite has been released on the Switch, and now people are learning that if they ever linked their Epic account with their PS4, they can not access that account (or their purchases) on the Switch. (Or the Xbox One, but nobody really noticed that.)

Then we take calls about the E3 PC Gaming Show that nobody watched, and cross play between PS4 and everyone else.

The Southern Fried Gaming Expo was this weekend, and I hosted a newsworthy panel with the former King of Kong, Billy Mitchell. It was later written about in Variety, but the first time I talked about how my moderating time went was on this show from the night after it happened.

Microsoft's press conference had already happened when we recorded, so I talked about what they showed, but mostly what they revealed afterwards about Forza Horizon 4.
