As the episode title would imply, this week’s Gaming Flashback is Psychonauts, with Jonah revealing he’s a total fanboy and backed the sequel for over $800. He also has no idea what Oxenfree is, since he hadn’t played it yet. (He has, and realizes he was completely wrong about it being like Cabin in the Woods.)

The news:

Captain Falcon was almost the mascot of the SNES
Hackers have already infiltrated the Call of Duty: WWII open beta
Assassin’s Creed: Origins‘ non-violent discovery tour update wants to teach you history

This week is a week late due to various issues, but Hurricane Irma was not one of them, as Scott recorded his part of the podcast from Georgia, while Jonah and T.J. live far away from hurricane zones. In the meantime, T.J. goes from being disappointed with Destiny and being ecstatic with Destiny 2.

This week’s news includes:

Destiny 2 passes 1 million concurrent users
