The team opened a loot crate that allows them to discuss the end of Visceral Games. The Switch firmware update is neat and full of mystery. The unexpected sequel to the taco discussion is "But is it anime?" Activision's troubling patent prompts some discussion. Rocky is way, way deep into Stardew Valley. Tegan's been playing Doki Doki Literature Club but 'it' hasn't happened yet. Brian plays 'A Mortician's Tale' which prompts Rocky to briefly outline his funeral plans which sound more complicated than an ARG. Games about the death industry. What a time to be alive.
All kinds of business is addressed this week. Rocky is mourning for an anime fan that preferred colder climates. The ethics of zoos are discussed and dismantled. A Russian cyberattack is examined and the team comes to the conclusion that Psyduck's loyalties cannot be swayed. Tegan plays Shadow of War and the team breaks down the current rash of microtransactions. The first rule of Doki Doki Literature Club is that you do not spoil Doki Doki Literature Club.
Everybody the team encountered a personal tragedy this week. Tegan doesn't like tacos. This information was surfaced as part of another conversation about whether or not bandanas are hats. (Spoiler, it's a split decision.) Rocky and Brian hit Kingsman: The Golden Circle a little bit. Video game business takes center stage when the team digs into Andrew House's departure, Street Fighter V Arcade Edition, Huniepop 2 and it's associated moral dilemmas and PUBG. Because there is always PUBG.
A day late and a dollar short. Look, you are here for truth and not excellence. Despite this episode's tardiness the gang has both truth and excellence in abundance. Learn more of Tegan's postman suitor and the unusual place she grows sweet potatoes. Hear Rocky recount tales of Golf Story for the Switch. And Gabe Newell put down his knives long enough to throw some trash off Steam.
