  1. Hello guys.

    Thanks as always for the Episode. I did not find the time and mood to listen to all of the last episodes. Real life is hitting me hard the last months 🙁

    Now I am on holiday and so I have more time for the good things in life, this includes listening to your Podcast 🙂

    I am playing a lot of silksong, slay the spire 2 and some Balatro recently. Mostly I watch tv Shows and play Frosthaven with friends.

    Flashback: at least a game I know! Never played it, but at least I could understand what you talked about 🙂

    PoE 2: i played that game for hundred of hours and I love it! With the new patch end of the month I will get back to it. It’s the better diablo 4. you should give it a try!

    Switch 2 Price increase: I already have mine, but i regret buying it 🙁 I played some Mario Kart and about 2 Hours Donkey kong … that’s it :/ I even played more switch 1 since i bought the switch 2 :/

    Slay the spire 2: I beat the current phase 3 boss as well. It was hard but doable. In my opinion it should be hard, because it’s the actual end Boss…

    That’s all for now from my side 🙂

    Please keep on the good work and stay healthy guys!

    Greetings,
    Ralf

Sony Home Arrives This YearSony Home Arrives This Year

From the horses mouth, Home producer Martijn Van der Meulen “100% guarantees” PlayStation gamers will have the infamous Sony Home before the end of this year. He didn’t, however, mention what defines Sony Home as a finished product. Perhaps just the shell of a social gaming network frame or a fully fleshed out product.

Most social network sites are constantly “works in progress” so we’re guessing Sony Home won’t be finished but it will be available or “shipped” if one could call it so. The trick comes down to the punch-list of features which nobody has seen; all we’ve got to go on was the 2007 GDC announcement of Home and all of its “rich features.”

The product has been delayed a few times now, chances are good the punch-list of features will be smaller than initially announced. It will no doubt be a work in progress for years to come… if anyone cares to use it.
