    This is a PlayStation podcast that has such a high level of cope and gaslighting that it competes with many Xbox podcasts.

    It’s sad that it’s hard to find a quality video game podcast that doesn’t act like a PR agency for the corporations that they discuss.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#415 | What's Real and What's For Sale?
Q: What are your thoughts on Halo Campaign Evolved's launch window and features?
The crew is intrigued by the idea of Halo Campaign Evolved launching on July 28, with early access for premium editions and a feature set that modernizes Halo CE while preserving its core nostalgia, though some express curiosity about the lack of traditional multiplayer and how it will fare on PS5.
#390 | But Without Me, You're Only You
Q: Do you think studios are going to or should start leaning into attractive characters as a deliberate marketing tactic going forward?
It's likely that they will lean into features that appeal to audiences, but it should be organically integrated rather than a primary focus.
#376 | We Are the Same, Whatever We Do
Q: What do you think about the leak regarding the PlayStation 6 and its detachable disk drive?
I'm not really that surprised. It seems obvious that they would do that based on trends in gaming, and it makes sense to maximize costs.
#376 | We Are the Same, Whatever We Do
Q: What do you think of the PlayStation Family App?
It's designed to help parents manage their children's gaming experience on PlayStation, which is important for families with kids who play video games.
#376 | We Are the Same, Whatever We Do
Q: Austin Clements wrote in and asked about discussing the murder of Charlie Kirk and your opinion on it.
It's a horrible thing, I think this kind of thing should not happen in a reasonable society. I feel really, really horrible for his family.
