Welcome to the future! It’s creepy, invasive and you have no secrets. AND you have no flying car. Ripped off. This week we talk Baldurs Gate 3 mods, is Xbox losing the console wars?, Starfield Shattered Space, Silent Hill 2 remake, some Watch Dogs glasses and California’s new law that’s forcing companies to admit that you don’t own things. Oh and more!
Microsoft is finally shutting down the Xbox 360 store so Luke is snapping up some bargains and very, very slowly downloading them. There’s a new Assassin’s Creed game on the way Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, and it’s set in feudal Japan! What could go wrong? We also discuss Superman, Tom Selleck, Starfield and much more!
Fate and technology were against us this week, but we pushed through thank to the power of eggs.
One of us is in hospital this week. See if you can guess who!
