You're Wrong

This week we go full meta and rate rating systems! Which one is the best: the Like/Dislike System (smash that Like button for our podcast on your favourite app!), or maybe the 5-Star one (please rate You're Wrong 5/5 stars on all of your podcast apps!)? Something else entirely (please give us a good review wherever applicable!)?

At any rating, you already know you're going to be wrong about which ones work and which ones don't (still give us that top-notch review, though), but which ones are going to get a 10 out of 10 on this episode? And which ones are going to get a "Mostly Negative"? You'll just have to listen to find out (while it's downloading, can we get that rating, please?)

Oh noes! Microsoft bought Bethesda (or, more accurately, ZeniMax Studios) and now all of their IPs (Doom, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, etc.) are going to be exclusive to the Xbox! But... will they, though? Microsoft's said "nuh-uh, not even!", but will their actions match that eloquent statement?

Also, who exactly benefits from the existence of exclusives? And why do these game studios get bought and sold in the first place? Come listen to Luciano and Matt's discussion on the subject to find out the answers... as well as just how wrong you are about all of it.

Join us this week, as we fervently debate which tabletop RPG is better! Matt champions the obvious winner – Dungeons & Dragons – and wonders if it even counts as a debate if the one side wins by a landslide before the conversation has even begun; Luciano gets stuck with representing the weird goth kid's go-to RPG – Vampire: the Masquerade – and instead of presenting arguments, chooses instead to brood quietly like the edgelord he (not so) secretly is (or wishes he were).

What will be the outcome of this epic clash? Will Matt come out of it enlightened in any way about how wrong he is about the whole thing? Or will he be proven to be the ignoramus Luciano already knows he is?

Nick and RJ return to continue discussing areas of music where everyone is wrong. This time, we turn to cover songs! The best ones, the worst ones and everything in between. We question cover songs to such a depth that you might even start to question what it is to even like music. This one got weird, people!

This week, in one of our trademark impartial, restrained and sedate debates, we discuss what is the ultimate gaming machine. But where do you stand? Are you a PC enthusiast? A PlayStation fanatic? An Xbox aficionado? Something else entirely, perhaps? Or are you a filthy Scott (who joins us again!) and somehow manage to support all sides of a conversation that has a very obvious winner and lots of very obvious losers?

Note: this episode was recorded at the end of June, so some information wasn't yet available (e.g. cheap new video cards, Xbox Series S prices, etc.).

While the 'rona still ravages the countryside, movie theatres are starting to open back up. Well, gird your loins: this week, Matt and Luciano get together to tell you what they think about this brand new craze that's sweeping the nation! This brand new craze, of course, being choosing to sit in confined spaces with strangers for an extended amount of time while a deadly pandemic rages across the globe... 😒

This week, we tackle the classic Star Trek versus Star Wars debate! Our buddy Spencer joins us to advocate in favour of Star Trek and tell us about his Daddy, Papa Picard (spoiler alert: he's wrong), Luciano phones it in trying to "defend" Star Wars (he is also wrong) while Matt moderates and asks weird questions (he also manages to be wrong, impossible as it may seem). Oh, and we also manage to get movie names, character names and actor names wrong. We really outdid ourselves with this one.

What's this? Is it Epic Games, our knight in shining armour, riding its mighty warsteed to battle the Big Bad Apple and their greedy, draconian money-grabbing App Store percentage cuts? Are they marching into a world-shattering brawl, in Apple's own turf no less, all for the good of The Little Guy™? Ehhh... not quite.

Nu metal (uh, I think you mean "nü-metal"? How dare you forget the umlaut!): a style (¯\_(ツ)_/¯) of music that dominated the late 90's and early 2000's for about 2 years. But maybe, just maybe, it was more than just Limb Bisque? Was it really all bad? Nick and RJ join us to hash that all out in this long-awaited discussion.

We're wrong about the experience women are having in gaming. We asked Laura, Izabel and Fran to help us better understand their experience and how we can help make it better.
