Luke is back from hospital where he apparently has built up a full tolerance to ketamine (‘I have no idea what people are going on about’) and Matt is falling apart at the spine. It’s fine. Everyone’s fine. Somehow they still watched a bunch of movies and have opinions.
Matt beat an innocent stranger to death with a rock this week. Listen to find out what the hell that’s about. We get into the Xbox chaos (Ninja Theory gone, Elder Scrolls 6 still apparently coming in 2028 or possibly never, Tim Schafer potentially going indie), the Commodore flip phone that blocks social media and may or may not be purchased by Luke on the spot, why Ridley Scott doing Treasure Island feels weird, and the very depressing news that Europe can’t legally force publishers to keep game servers alive. Also Matt’s daughter is already better at the Bluey game than he is, which tracks.
Luke slept 18 hours before this episode because he was up until 3 AM playing Forza Horizon 6. That’s the kind of dedication that costs nearly $200 when you factor in the premium upgrade. Meanwhile Matt was over here still playing Conan Exiles Enhanced on GeForce Now and trying to figure out mod management on a streaming service (spoiler: it’s a nightmare). We also talked about:
Avowed, Unavowed, these game developers need to make up their minds! This week we talk Avowed, Elder Scrolls VI, the console wars, Dune: Awakening, James Bond being handed over to Amazon and more!
We’ve been playing Starfield! We tried to keep the spoilers minimal (tutorial missions only) so it should be safe to listen if you haven’t played yet. We also discuss some other stuff in case you don’t like cool games for some reason.
