The TD Gaming Podcast reaches its big 700th episode milestone, but unfortunately it covers some boring industry news about Microsoft, Activision, Lies of P, and giantesses in Baldur’s Gate 3.
The news items include:
Microsoft closes $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard
Phil Spencer: Activision Blizzard games are not coming to Game Pass until 2024
Cities: Skylines 2 performance has “not achieved the benchmark we targeted”
Cities: Skylines 2 won’t use Steam Workshop for mod sharing
Gaming Podcast, we get some impressions about gaming reviews and media from our listeners while tackling the gaming flashback 10-Yard Fight for the arcade and NES. We ran out of time on our four stories and didn’t get our gaming history in yet.
Diablo is a classic title with endings for each class you can play, but all give you the same result: hell and torment. You battle your way through a very difficult game, defeating legions of evils minions, piling their corpses upon the floor as you dig deeper into hell.
Eventually, you battle the essence of hell itself: Diablo. However, the ending does not give you warm fuzzies. The ending shows the results of a man with a burden and ends with the transfer of such burden.
Pure evil. Pure fun. Exciting and well crafted ending. For more talk on cinematic endings, listen to the TD Gaming Podcast Episode 75.
