To no one’s surprise, it’s a lighter news week following the announcements dump at summer games fest and everything else from the last few weeks. But for the first time in months, we’re back for two consecutive weeks in a row, baby!

Between Sony’s recent state of play, summer games fest, and the Xbox showcase, there’s a lot to be stoked for.

Believe it or not, we still love doing this despite our inconsistency. We’re stoked to be back!

Four score and seven years ago, three best friends brought forth, upon this internet, a new podcast, conceived in passion and dedicated to the proposition that all gamers are created equal. Apart from those of you who need to GIT GUD.

The Sony Empire strikes back!!! Well, not exactly. But it’s impossible to deny the days of the console wars are over, the age of studio acquisitions has begun.

In an unprecedented power move, Microsoft intends to acquire Activision/Blizzard for 68.7 billion dollars. What could it mean for Sony? What impact will it have industry-wide? We break it all down and more.

There’s a handful of anticipated games on the horizon and the three of us are long overdue for catching up.

We're joined by Sam Harris as we catch up on each other's lives, the games we're playing, and answer fun questions from the community.

We disappear for a few weeks and there’s a handheld PC, a dead space remake, and Netflix streams games now.
