  • Ugh. Braindead Politics

    I always forget how stupid these guys are every time they turn their attention to anything political. Truly low-information people. NPCs, if you will.

  • One of the best

    This is one of the best podcast out there. The insights are always thoughtful and often profound. A running theme here is the promotion of the wholesome aspects of gaming.

    If you cannot get over these guys calling out the obvious reality of how politics affects gaming then you’re probably too entrenched in your political ideology to sit back and enjoy a stellar podcast.

640: Jay Peters: Phil Spencer and Sara Bond leave Xbox, Bluepoint Games shut down, Unity touts “AI-driven authoring”, God of War: Sons of Sparta, CorgiSpace, Mario Tennis Fever, Forgotlings, Scott Pilgrim EX, Cairn
Q: What would you consider to be Jay Peters' Story of the Week?
Jay selected the news that Phil Spencer and Sara Bond are leaving Xbox as the defining story, highlighting the dramatic leadership shift and its potential implications for Xbox's strategy and multi-platform ambitions.
619: Kahlief Adams: Ghost of Yotei, Baby Steps, Silent Hill f, Skate, Borderlands 4, Sony State of Play, Saros, Wolverine, ROG Xbox Ally, Tokyo Game Show, Forza Horizon 6, Rhythm Doctor
Q: What did you think about the Wolverine?
I'm a huge Wolverine fan, like that is my favorite superhero, so I've been waiting for this for a very long time.
619: Kahlief Adams: Ghost of Yotei, Baby Steps, Silent Hill f, Skate, Borderlands 4, Sony State of Play, Saros, Wolverine, ROG Xbox Ally, Tokyo Game Show, Forza Horizon 6, Rhythm Doctor
Q: Kahlief, you got some options this week on your pick. What would you consider to be your Story of the Week?
I mean, we got to talk about the ROG Xbox Ally pricing getting announced. I think most of us were sitting in the back of the room.
613: Jenny Maas: Battlefield 6, Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater, Mafia The Old Country, Jurassic Park Survival, North America BAFTA Awards, Sims 4: Enchanted by Nature, Hidden Door, Ra Ra BOOM, 9 Kings, Passant: A Chess Roguelike
Q: What did you think of Jurassic Park Survival?
I believe when it was first announced, Jeff, I was kind of like, eh, on it. But now I got like a five, six minute vid doc, behind the scenes thing that shows a decent amount of pre-alpha gameplay. And it doesn't, it's not a survival game at all. It's like a first-person horror action game that takes place immediately after the first movie ends. It looks incredible.
613: Jenny Maas: Battlefield 6, Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater, Mafia The Old Country, Jurassic Park Survival, North America BAFTA Awards, Sims 4: Enchanted by Nature, Hidden Door, Ra Ra BOOM, 9 Kings, Passant: A Chess Roguelike
Q: What would you consider to be your Story of the Week?
If I'm being very biased, it was a story I wrote. Bafta North America announced that they're going to be opening a new set of awards based in Los Angeles, US Awards, and it's TV, film, and video games.
