We had to take a week off due to a death in the family. My grandmother passed away from Alzheimer late last week and we had to spend the beginning of the week with the family and the events that come with the passing.
We’ll be back next week in full force. So, here is a 39 second podcast explaining it, hosted by Liam our son.
Jonah discusses his renewed views of Mass Effect: Andromeda after his long, long rant last week. It fits in with the theme of nerd rage in the news items, as well as some new games coming out. TJ and Scott talk about the games they’ve been enjoying in the past week as well, as the latter is burning through Pillars of Eternity so he can play Torment: Tides of Numenera and the eventual Pillars of Eternity II.
This week’s news includes:
Planescape: Torment 4K remaster comes out April 11
First Star Wars Battlefront 2 trailer dated for April
World of Warcraft has changed how enemies scale, and players are very angry
Destiny 2 officially announced, teasing the fall of The Last City
The guys discuss the week’s goings-on, including Diablo speedrun sleuths proving a 15-year world record was fake after reverse-engineering the game and failing to replicate the run in 2.2 billion possible randomized dungeons, Call of Duty’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover costing $90, Valve releasing the Team Fortress 2 source code, and a mystery Tony Hawk remaster mentioned by pro skater involved in the game.
For the first time in years, we have a Gaming History: The Civilization II Eternal War.
The news includes:
Netflix culls staff at Oxenfree developer Night School Studio
Marvel Rivals team hit by layoffs despite major launch success
Days Gone Remastered $10 PS5 upgrade not available for game redemptions via PS Plus
Nintendo is the main focus of this week’s episode, but we can’t discuss the company too much or they’ll sic their lawyers on the podcast. Other than that, there’s plenty of safe things to discuss.
Gee, my condolences, Derrick.
