The Canadian Game Pass Sweep
Welcome back to Episode 44 of Boss Run! Housh here, and this week we are falling back in love with the classic JRPG grind, celebrating major wins for the Canadian gaming industry, and breaking down why the "Netflix of Gaming" dream keeps hitting roadblocks.Here is what we are covering on the show this week:
💿 The Law & Order Grind: After taking a brief hiatus from Lost Odyssey, I jumped back in for a massive gameplay session. I finally found that pure, nostalgic joy of the classic RPG level grind—maxing out my entire party's stats while binge-watching Law & Order: Toronto.🇨🇦 Shucking Out for ID@Xbox: I am heavily enjoying my new PC Game Pass subscription, specifically because it highlights how Microsoft funds incredible indie projects through the ID@Xbox program. From classics like Cuphead and FEZ to newer gems, we talk about why supporting Canadian development teams matters.
🏆 South of Midnight Sweeps the CGAs: Speaking of Canadian talent, Montreal-based Compulsion Games absolutely dominated the 2026 Canadian Game Awards this past week! Their southern-gothic adventure South of Midnight took home a massive 6 awards, including Studio of the Year and the coveted Game of the Year. We also talk about keeping an eye out for awesome smaller titles on Game Pass like Mixtape, Echo Generation 2, and South of Midnight.
📺 The "Netflix of Gaming" Problem: We dive into a bit of industry philosophy. There was a massive vision for high-quality, 10-hour cinematic experiences ruling a streaming-style platform—so why didn't the traditional Netflix model fully translate to the gaming space? We break down the structural flaws.
🥋 #LetsGetShenmue4: Reminder for the core community—every 4th of the month, the Shenmue Dojo and fans globally flood social media to trend the hashtag to get Shenmue 4 greenlit.
