Editor’s Note: With school online due to COVID-19 and social distancing measures being implemented across the country, things will sound a bit different here at the Emerald Podcast Network as we navigate recording from separate physical spaces. We’ve got limited recording technology, so join us as we figure this out.

Janelle, Alex, and Nolan discuss the recent Nintendo Direct and Blizzcon announcements. Also: RPG character name controversies.
