Gamer Friends is back again, just a little late, but we’ve been very busy being exploited by capitalism! We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled programming next week.
“Logging On,” AudioNerd has a note on the gaming industry’s ongoing #MeToo moment, we discuss the launches for Gears 5, Greedfall, Borderlands 3, NBA 2K20, Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, and the Sims 4: Realm of Magic, there’s talk of Disney remastering some classic SNES games, Yakuza 7 is formally announced, Ubisoft releases Odyssey’s version of the Discovery Tour, Ms. Monopoly makes a splash, and last but not least, a recap of the latest bigotry from Nicalis and Pewdiepie.
Next up, “These Past Two Weeks in Nerdom,” we dive into the final trailer for Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker, the latest casting rumors from Marvel (including Kate Bishop, Magneto, and Professor X), the Steven Universe Movie, a weird bit from Star Trek: Discovery, and the guys finally finish Young Justice: Outsiders.
Finally, on “The Homescreen,” your Gamer Friends have been playing Gears 5, more Red Dead Redemption 2, and as always, some Apex Legends.
Thank you so much for listening! As always, we really appreciate the support. Make sure to follow us on Instagram and Twitter, give us a rating or review, and tell your gamer friends about the show! We’ll catch you back here in just one week.
