Twitter continues to be a tire fire, as does cryptocurrency. One wonders when either one will shuffle off the stage and fade into obscurity. Both seem to have become synonymous with chaos and instability, and it feels like there’s a new scandal or controversy every week. Twitter, under Elon Musk’s leadership, has faced constant changes in policy, mass layoffs, and a significant dip in user trust, making it increasingly difficult to see a clear path forward for the platform. Cryptocurrency, on the other hand, seems to have become more about speculation and volatility than about real-world utility or widespread adoption. While the promise of decentralized finance and digital currencies seemed promising, the market’s swings, coupled with major scandals like the collapse of FTX, have left many questioning whether crypto will ever truly deliver on its early hype. Secure Cryptocurrency Trading platforms provides secure environments for users to trade and manage their digital assets. It feels like both industries are desperately clinging to relevance, hoping to regain their former glory, but with each new misstep, they drift further from the ideals they once espoused. Anyway, lots of news this week, along with a Gaming Flashback of Dishonored.
News includes:
- Musk reportedly laid off everyone who ran Twitter’s million-follower gaming account
- GameStop to end FTX partnership, will refund crypto gift card purchases

Episode 234: An Episode to ForgetEpisode 234: An Episode to Forget
A microphone issue during the podcast made Jonah’s voice thin and tinny. That, and Paul not in the podcast, flying to California to enjoy Disneyland, makes this an episode to forget. It’s unfortunately, since it’s one of the better podcasts in terms of content. The Gaming Flashback this week is Leisure Suit Larry in The Land of the Lounge Lizards.
The news this week includes:
- Netflix drops Qwikster
- Xbox 720 popping up on LinkedIn resumes
- 320GB hard drive announced for Xbox 360
- Rocksteady: Superman “bad fit” for videogame
- Bethesda: We were “forced” to sue Mojang
We also received some great Reader Feedback as well. Next week, we promise to have great sound – or at least not so tinny.
