Episode 542: Beware the Crab Lasers of Doom

Paul’s back for an episode, as the crew still has E3 on the mind, and still discuss stuff from the show. In fact, the conversation remains so much on E3, half of the scheduled news items don’t get done. Instead, it’s just a reunion of sorts as the rambling goes on and on.

The news that does get discussed includes:

  • Final Fantasy VIII Remastered PC will get exclusive features
  • NBA 2K19 fans are unhappy at an increase in the number of in-game unskippable ads

Let us know what you think.
