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

In addition, this week’s Gaming Flashback is Alan Wake, which was actually one of the news items back in Episode 252: “Alan Wake on PC because Remedy ‘a nagging little kid’ to Microsoft”.
