November 16, 2021| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 5:27 pm

This is the second attempt at Episode 631, as the previous episode had bad audio, and was boring to boot. This week’s episode features a lot of questionable content, as well as a Dark Souls Gaming Flashback.

The news includes:

Surprise Halo Infinite multiplayer launch buckles Steam servers
Grand Theft Auto Trilogy back on PC after Rockstar removes ‘unintentionally included’ files
Microsoft adds 76 more games to Xbox backwards compatibility
Nintendo explains why there is no virtual console on Switch

The bizarre streaming E3 2021 is over, and the guys discuss all of it. Yes, all of it. The conclusion they have is that Microsoft and Nintendo actually had something to say, and everyone else were basically unprepared — for something they should have had months to prepare for.

Apologies for the bad audio.

The previous week’s episode had too many technical issues to post, so this week’s episode overcompensates by being over two hours long. The Gaming Flashback this week is none other than 2009’s Minecraft, which is still going strong well into 2019.
