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

So, thanks to an untimely computer breakdown, last week’s episode could not be run in a timely manner. So, this double-length episode features an off-the-cuff discussion of videogames with no notes, with last week’s episode tacked on. There’s not much editing in the episode, due to the fact Jonah has to rush off to Boston to attend PAX East over the weekend.

Last week’s “news” includes:

Middle Earth: Shadow of War leaked then announced
Microsoft announces Netflix-style gaming for the Xbox One
Videogame industry lobbying to maintain “repair monopoly”
Microsoft plans to bring mixed reality to the Xbox in 2018

All this and some Listener Feedback
