There are no news items in this podcast. Instead, it’s just post-E3 discussion. Everything is E3. What the crew liked, what the crew didn’t, and T.J.’s reports from doing the show floor. The episode is almost 2 hours long, so there was a lot to talk about.

This week’s episode didn’t initially have a Gaming Flashback, but the crew accidentally started one with 2010’s Red Dead Redemption, which shouldn’t be a flashback since it fails the “10 Year Rule”, but it was so fun to talk about, it became one. They also found some interesting stuff in a thin-news week, which is the usual for Summer.
The news includes:
- Valve adds temporary fix for fake item scams on Steam
- Halo devs not working on Battle Royale mode for Infinite
- Nintendo Switch sales near 20m, down slightly on last year
- Playground Games staffs up for the rumored Fable reboot
