The sex games were overpriced and impotent, the fabricated reality was nauseating, and we finally ask the damn question, "Who ya gonna call?" (...it was Ghostbusters. The answer was Ghostbusters) Jonny and JM join this episode

After taking in five figures a month on Patreon. "Breeding Season," a sex game that billed itself as “Harvest Moon meets Hentai,” was one of the biggest projects funded ever. Details are murky, but it seems the former art director on the project jumped ship to start his own game, crippling Breeding Season and denying a lot of people of that sweet, sweet porn. We weigh in on this news, but don't actualyl get to see any hentai for ourselves...

A Hindu leader wants blizzard to drop Symmetra's Devi skin from Overwatch. Religious statesman Rajan Zed said having the skin in a fighting game “trivialized Hinduism’s highly revered goddesses.” Devi is the great goddess of Hinduism, worshiped in many different form. While not representing one PARTICULAR aspect of the goddess, the skin very blatantly incorporates several key characteristics. Zed main dispute isn't an offensive portrayal, but rather having the goddess be controllable by players in a video game setup will create confusion on a religious level

The USS Enterprise crew is getting bored exploring deep, uncharted space (who new that could be dull??). Soon they encounter a ruthless new enemy who threatens them and the entire Federation.

Derrick's distraction inappropriately distracts the rest of us for a quick minute

Fireforge filed for bankruptcy just 3 days after releasing the Ghostbusters 2016. The game took a (relatively) rapid 8 months to develop, and released alongside middling film reviews. While WE loved the crap out of the 2016 Ghostbuster's movie, the rest of the world didn't. The Ghostbusters tie-in likely has little to do with Fireforge’s downfall. The company has been attempting to pay off more than $12m in debt for the last month. The majority of this sum comes from an alleged $11.3 million owed to Tencent, which owns 37 per cent of the developer and had been bankrolling an unreleased MOBA title

New Haven rapper Kasper Knight shoots himself in the face in a bid to launch his music career. We talk shit about him and other's who have pretty much done the same
