It's a bit of a chaotic time for everyone. MrsL and Paul are out, and we've got the wonderful Edie from Checkpoint to help bring the professional levels up again. So let's lay it all out on the table. Ethically questionable ads, the joys and the anxieties of fantastic fan mods, TV, screw it I guess we're talking about that dang Cyberpunk again, and of course, my completely original character Herlock Sholmes please don't steal ok?

News:
| Castlevania Season 2 and Love, Death and Robots Vol. 2 coming soon | Witcher mod uses AI to make new voice lines, hopefully it won't be used for evil | The Great Ace Attorney Chronicle getting localized. Also, Herlock Sholmes | Fan made mod Portal Reloaded, adds time portals | Sony backflips on PS3 and Vita store closures.

Naughty Corner:
| Cyberpunk sold 13.7 million copies, wtf | Mario cries with anguish for Luigi, and also this is an ad target at kids yikes | Nintendo v. Bowser |

Why is this a thing?
| The perilous quest for Monster Hunter feet pics | Josh and Josh and Josh etc. fight to the death | Mr. Men but make it assassin's creed for some reason |

In which we talk about Andrew's deviancy. I mean, we talk about lootboxes being bad for people? Wait, WHAT? That can't be right! We're talking about lootboxes here! God, I wish someone had told me about all this. Also, finally, you can dial in just the right amount of racism and misogyny into your voice chats thanks to Intel.

Let's-a-go!

News:
| Game Pass is scoring some legit titles | The PGA Tour news that I know you're all excited for | Age of Empires 4 gameplay deets | Homefront: The Revolution is a terrible game that has a great Easter Egg | For some reason, Last of Us is getting a remake | Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children is getting a 4K Remaster | Bleep asks you how offensive you'd like your Voice chat |

Naughty Corner:
| I'm as shocked as you are (not at all) that lootboxes are psychologically similar to gambling | EA Patents adaptive difficulty (yay) to keep you playing longer (boo) |

Why is this a thing?
| A lot of Donalds | Vampire lady's foot size |

We might be fools, but we're not April Fools! 

We had a chat about  April Fools jokes (not all gaming related) before moving on to actual news, about actual videogames. Cooking Mama is still being wild, the Aus Government is still a disappointment, and YouTube is doing weird things again.

Also, Monster Hunter.
