Introducing Dummy Thicc Deep Dives! These are going to be spoiler-cast episodes where we sit down with friends of the show to talk about and review the latest video games. We're kicking this off with a fittingly themed underwater game where you viciously murder aquatic creatures and humans alike as an ever-evolving megashark. If that sounds like a good time, it's because it is! Let's talk about it!

Same podcast, new name. This week we're talking about the Snyder cut news and our impressions from the Ghost of Tsushima gameplay trailer from last week. We also replaced the "currently playing" section with two new weekly segments: Ike is going to be tackling what's new in the world of Esports, Battle Royales, and competitive shooters, and I'm going to be doing the same with looter-shooters and RPG's. Happy Memorial Day!!!

This week we're talking about bad community events in Destiny, the Xbox Insiders livestream and the Assassin's Creed: Valhalla drama that it caused regarding frame rate and what exactly constitutes "gameplay." Plus we'll wrap up the news week with our thoughts on the Unreal Engine 5 tech demo and whether or not this is indicative of games to come. Stick around to hear about some games we're currently playing, and we'll answer some listener questions from Damian, Tyquan, and Matthew. Thanks guys!

It's a short but sweet 4/20! We're talking about the rumor that Sony will be limiting production of the PS5 and their new patent for an autonomous robot, Sucker Punch is doing away with waypoints in Ghost of Tsushima, and McDonald's teased a 5G smartphone that turned out to not be a smartphone. Stick around to hear Isaac back-peddle his previous hot take on supporting Activision (because he definitely caved under the weight of the pandemic and bought Modern Warfare).

This week we're talking about that new PS5 controller, Google Stadia is offering a free two-month subscription, and we talk about Obsidian's new game "Grounded," coming this summer.
