SPECIAL STEAM MACHINE REVIEW IN PREVIOUS PODCAST! CHECK IT OUT! Edie and Nick talk about the subsequent fallout of the XBox layoffs, plus how Double Fine and Obsidian have soft landings from the XBox job cuts, id Software less so. Fun fact: id Software is unionized. Cue raised eyebrows. Ubisoft rewards the Black Flag Resyched team's successful launch with mass firings. And Asha Sharma? She's doing fiiiiine! In fact, hours after axing 3,200 jobs from XBox studios, she gets a new gig on the Fed's Board of Governors to help *improve operations efficiency*. You read that right! Great stuff, guys!

Nick and Edie finally got their Steam Machines, and they tested independently. Didn't breathe a word to each other what they thought. Their opinions matched: This is the console they both had hoped for. Was it worth the money? They explain in detail the ups, downs, plusses, minuses, and the quirks they've found with 48 hours of use. This was recorded as part of the live podcast, but we wanted to separate this out for you audio listeners. Since this was from a video stream, there's some show-and-tell that doesn't translate well to audio, but you should be able to visualize, and certainly their review is universal.

The backlash over Sony's announcement to end physical copies of games in 2027 isn't going over well. Really not well. Nick and Edie talk about how, in light of the fact that companies can now reach into your libraries and remove your "owned" content (because they also did just that recently), what that will mean for us as gamers. If buying isn't owning, is piracy theft? Join our Discord and chat with us all the time: / discord Help support us on Patreon!

I mean, we KNEW it was going to be expensive, but woooowww... I don't think we were prepared for this. Do we blame Valve? No, according to GamersNexux (Yeah, we'll talk about that interview). Bookend that with GTA6's price tag and, hoo-boy, are we going to have an expensive year. Join our Discord and chat with us all the time: / discord Help support us on Patreon!

It's "E3 Week," and the announcements and pressers are hot and heavy.

Jesus jiminy cricket! When will the AI madness end?! Component shortages, fueled by AI and data centers, lead to a whopping increase in SteamDeck prices. Upside: You can get one, now. And if you needed proof that AI is going to trigger an extinction event, just check out the recent 15-day test of AI platforms running their own societies. Let's just say, it didn't go well, and you should ABSOLUTELY not trust Grok to do your laundry, much less run your company. Also, Fable delayed.

Nick is a writer. He literally writes stories for competitions. You'd think he'd be creative. But if I ask for him to give me a title, he looks at me like he's a dog being shown a card trick. Why does this shit always land on my shoulders. Goalie was right: Nick is a bad cohost. Also Embracer saddles board games with their debt, GTA 6 is absolutely coming out on November 19, and State of Play on the way.

These are Nick's words, not Edie's. There's too much news this week! XBox outlines plans to save itself, Ubisoft finally shows off Black Frag remake, Elden Ring BTS footage leakes, and... stop me if you've heard this before... Playstation might be going "always online." Good lord, we have a lot to talk about. Join our Discord and chat with us all the time: https://discord.gg/JB5R4DD3e6 Help support us on Patreon!

Good lord. Edie takes a couple weeks off, and AI goes bonkers, Starfield on PS5 reveals the self-inflicted crapshow that it is, Pete Hines goes off on Microsoft... but at least Nintendo got their copyright claim yonked.

XBox chiefs announce a new console at employee town hall, which took all of 30 seconds to be leaked. What's the news? The next XBox will play PC games as well. Soooo... a Steam Machine. So, does anyone think this was Asha's idea? Or even Sad Nutella's? C'moooonnnn....

Phil's out. Asha's in. Sarah's fled the building. Man, we knew there would be heads rolling at Microsoft, but we didn't see that one coming (and apparently, Sarah Bond didn't either). We talk about what this might mean for XBox Gaming and how having an AI exec calling the shots on the future of XBox games might affect what we'll see from Microsoft in the coming years. Also, reviews of Slay the Spire (mobile) and Mewgenics. Join our Discord: discord.gg/s6ymDZ8gBn

Nick watched Sony's State of Play (Edie didn't yet), so we go over the reveals: God of War! Alan Wake! Bunch of other stuff! Also, pro tip: don't send Claire Obscura artbooks to Iraq or you'll get a visit from the antiquities police! Special guest: Andrew "Creation Chaos" Smith!

It's Super Bowl Sunday, and while everyone else is glued to the pre-game festivities, Edie and Nick (joined by special guest Andrew "CreationChaos" Smith) are here to discuss what's really important: Roblox's new GenAI tool that BLATANTLY rips off Clair Obscura 33. Wow, that did NOT take as long as we thought it would. Also, BaRB says it didn't make a broken game; MindsEye was sabotaged... sabotaged I tell ya! New Horizon Dawn game gets debuted, and new consoles coming to Switch Online. We also review tabletop game Moonrollers, Iron Lung (the movie, not the game), Simulacura, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Stuff is looking bad at the green monster. Hardware sales down. Software sales down. Unrealistic revenue goals not only missed, they weren't even in the ballpark of profitable. Edie has a frightening prediction no one hopes come true. She and Nick review Iron Lung (the game... the movie is next week), as well as covering news, including how Jeffrey Epstein got banned from XBox live, and Edie's surprising realtion to the revelation that there's FNAF "corn."
-
Edie and Nick finally agree! Using AI for NPCs is just a bad idea. Doesn't mean anyone is listening, including XBox. We discuss the Developer Direct reveal of Fable and how having a "massive world" populated by 100% interactable NPCs is just... too much! We also discuss the restructuring of Ubisoft, which only promises to mean studio sell-offs and closures, and we review "Mandgragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree."

This could finally be it. This death rivals some of the most overplayed, overly dramatic, drawn out deaths in cinema. Finally, it seems, GameStop won't be pulled back from the brink by Reddit stock-shorting groups; it may have finally drawn its last breath and gone to sing with the choir invisible. Oh... but don't worry. The Crypto Bro who took over as CEO is getting $35 million as an exit bonus. Also, XBox Developers Direct is coming next week.

Nick and Edie start off the year without a bang... Because we're old, we're tired, and we gotta go back to work tomorrow and it SUCKS. Edie finally tries Where Winds Meet and Clair Obscure: Expedition 33. Also, DEV FIGHT! DEV FIGHT! Everyone gather 'round to hear a couple devs go OG schoolyard on each other.
