Hello, and welcome back to another new episode of The Nerd Stash Show (a palindrome!). We've got a great one for you and a very special announcement. Instead of our usual news-focused show, we decided to make a more light-hearted episode detailing what games we'd like to have if we were ever on a deserted island. Yes, we list our desert island games! We also pick one franchise (the entire catalog of games from a franchise) to have because it allows us to look forward to something in our hypothetical situation. Of course, this island is special: it comes with a t.v., any console, electricity, and the internet! We're on the Lost island, but instead of polar bears, we get video games.

Hello, and welcome back to another new episode of The Nerd Stash Show. When you hear $7.5 billion in cash, what is the first thing you think of? Paying off your debt, buying that car you always wanted, and maybe helping the family out? What about getting crazy and buying an island and finding ways to become a real-life Batman? Well, if you're Microsoft, you decide to purchase ZeniMax Media, the parent company of Bethesda, and so many incredible game studios. Microsoft added The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, DOOM, and more to its portfolio in one swoop.

Shockingly announced Monday morning, we're still figuring out what the future of video games means with this purchase. Let's break down the deal, what this means for Microsoft, the Xbox, Game Pass, and even Sony. It's a long one, so strap in.

There's also talk about Amazon announcing a Stadia competitor with their new streaming service, Luna. Are Sony and Insomniac doing the right thing by charging for Spider-Man: Remastered? Sony also clears up some backward compatibility questions, and we've got a few rapid-fire stories to go over as well.
