The Inconsolables

Hi. I hope you enjoyed Sekiro, because most of us did. If not, uhhhh I guess I have really rookie guitar strumming for about 10 minutes!

Callan from Game Train has jumped on board to chat about Sekiro. Meanwhile, maybe Karl and I should make a new podcast and ban all Sekiro chat? I can dream at least of my Sekiro-less future.

Hey y'all! GDC happened, and with that, lots of news! We also managed to get into lots of random tangents this week, and Paul got a bit ranty about many things! Blame Google. And Epic. Talk about bringing the fire!
And as always, It Got A Bit Sammy At The End.

Hey guys we’ve got the full cast on display for Episode 125! What does everyone think of Devil May Cry 5? Well I for love when [spoiler], and then [spoiler] with his large [spoiler]. Don’t worry we’ve got our censors keeping you safe from everything, even character's ass cracks.

Also we have just a Trish’s butt worth of news like seriously the list is just really just a lot of things. That’s what most large lists are: A large collection of things. I really don’t know what to put here guys just the collection of things is rather big.

News:

| The attack on Christchurch | Pierre Taki, naughty cocaine boy, is being removed from Judgement and Kingdom Hearts 3 | Anthem’s Loot Shower “bug” | Halo coming to PCs | Epic pulls a late timed exclusive acquisition, on a crowd-funded game | Dwarf Fortress coming to Steam | Gearbox announces an announcement: could it be Borderlands 3? | Apex Character Leaked? | Did EA pay Ninja 1 million to stream apex? | A good Aladdin Trailer | Dragon’s Dogma will be a Netflix Anime | Doom: Annihilation | ID@XBOX at GDC has a bunch of rad indie games | Carmen Sandiago the Google Earth experience | L4D devs making Back 4 Blood | Hollow Knight Physical Release: Yet another chance to buy Hollow Knight |

Hey there people! No one got fired this week, and Whip is here to celebrate. But don't worry there's still a whole lot of WTF this week has to offer.

On the gaming front, Sam's played The Occupation and its complicated. Also Crackdown 3 which really isn't complicated.

News:

| NEW THEME | Activision fires 800, but the stock ain't on the rise | Pokemon gen 8, and we all like different starters | Dune MMO is coming for some reason | A whole bunch of Kingdom Hearts stuff | Link is a wax dude, Johnny Cage is awesome, Detective Pikachu is a caffeine fiend & more DMC5 Trailers

We were trying to have a positive episode this week! The game industry disagreed with that as a general concept... Layoffs, layoffs everywhere!

And Youtube is... well... being Youtube again.

Aside from that stuff, Anthem is also a game that released. And someone played that Zombie game

This week. It’s been a tricky one. Over 700 people were laid off by Bobby “Most Punchable Billionaire Boi” Kotick. And our super close podcast buddies, RESET Podcast, are closing down their podcast. -_-

It’s not all terrible, I guess. Nintendo Direct dropped a whole bunch of games into our collective laps. Not to mention we’re still in game release primetime. We’ll get through this everyone ^_^

News:

Activision-Blizzard announces best year profit-wise, then lays off hundreds of people :/ | Axiom Verge crashes on the Epic Game Store, for a wonderfully dumb reason | Jim Ryan is going to be Sony’s new CEO, hopefully this is an April Fool’s joke | EVERYTHING from the latest Nintendo Direct | Harmonix’s new game: Audica | FFXIV is joining Sydney Mardi Gras | Sonic Mania devs form their own studio |

This week, Andrew's audio is a little borked, but we have Drew from The House of Mario podcast to help us out!

Shenanigans ensue because, well, Bubsy's back and on fire, Sammy caved in and bought a game he said he would NEVER pay for, and what Nintendo game has Drew only just finished for the first time?

Yes, yes, Kingdom Hearts 3 is out. So let's listen as Andrew and Paul attempt to navigate through what little story they understand and can talk about without spoiling.

Sam's played more RE2, and LiS2E2 (aka Brother Wolves). Elsewhere Metro's made some people mad, Titanfall is being sent to the grave, and EA gives a helpful spreadsheet for protecting yourself from Anthem's release.

News:

Metro exodus goes Epic exclusive, People are not pleased | Unity acquires VIVIOX | Modder Durante has founded a pc port company, PH3 | CD Projekt Red v Witcher author update | Rumoured Titanfall Battle Royale “apex legends” coming without titans?! Is EA trying to kill Titanfall?! | EA and their anthem release spreadsheet | Rumoured Nintendo Switch Version to have fewer features and more portability |

Why is this a thing?

Marshmello is holding a concert in Fortnite, and excuse me while I have an existential crisis for a bit.
