This week, Paul fills in for Scott, who has more pressing issues than discussing videogames, though some very serious topics about them do pop up, such as how misogyny became pronounced in the hobby. The Gaming Flashback is one of the legendarily panned titles, Bomberman Act:Zero.
The news for this week includes:
- Video game spending reaches record high during pandemic
- Epic Games Store keyless integration with other digital stores announced
- Minecraft sales now exceed 200 million (from PC Gamer)
- Star Citizen will hold a free fly event starting this week
There’s also some Listener Feedback from longtime fan Ralf from Germany.
This week we’re on vacation but Don is not, so he took the time to build out a cool mashup of some of the podcasts most memorable “moments.” Of course, most of them are the strangest bloopers and oddities that we had a couple lol’s re-listening to them. Consider this the greatest moments in the last sixty episodes wrapped up in a 4-minute time period. Holy crap.
