062: Critically Acclaimed

July 31st, 2020

Your Gamer Friends are coming at you hot, because we are literally melting in New York right now. “Logging On,” we’re breaking down the Xbox Summer Games Event, including Halo: Infinite, Everwild, Tell Me Why, Grounded, The Outer Worlds, and Fable. We’re also talking about the releases of Ghost of Tsushima, Paper Mario: The Origami King, The Sims 4: Nifty Knitting, and Ooblets. Also on the docket is G4’s return, Madden 21, Rocket League, Metacritic changes, and Ubisoft’s binders full of women.

“These Past Two Weeks in Nerdom,” we’re pouring one out for Grant Imahara and chatting Halloween Horror Nights, Project Power, transformative justice, and San Diego Comic-Con’s biggest announcements… that we care about.


In “Party Chat” this week, we’ve got friend of the show and longtime listener Nerdy the Sensei joining us to have a longform chat about both The Last of Us Part II and Ghost of Tsushima! Apologies in advance for mispronouncing Tsushima and most other Japanese words.

Thank you so much for listening! As always, we really appreciate the support. Make sure to give us a rating and review, follow us on Twitter, Discord, or Instagram, support us on Patreon, and tell your gamer friends about the show! We’ll catch you back here in two weeks.
