    Episode 110: The End of the Physical Era

    Welcome back to another episode! It's a big one this week where once again the entire industry just seems hell bent on being burned to the ground. In Sony's corner? They decided to announce the end of physical game production. We discuss that length as well as take emails on it. In Xbox's corner? Well, that bloodbath that's been rumored for quite some time has finally happened. We talk about the largest set of layoffs in Xbox's history as well as answering the question: "who the hell would even want to buy an Xbox in 2026?" Movie wise we go over Obsession, Little Brother, Passenger, and more! We also, as always, take emails from you the listener!

    Episode 108: Zelda: Ocarina of 30 Seconds

    Welcome back to another episode! And it's a big one! We have all of the showcases covered, and there's just a plethora of news to go over. Most of it surrounds Xbox, because not only did we get what we feel is a mediocre showcase that's taking the brand a step backwards, but all of the information coming out now really paints a picture of how bad things have been for Xbox these past few years. We talk about it all, as well as cover the other showcases including Nintendo's absolutely baffling decision to announce an Ocarina of Time remake and show 30 seconds of it. If that isn't a metaphor for the current state of the Switch 2, I don't know what is. We also go over movies, and Matt's got a review of Obsession, you know, that movie everyone is currently obsessed with? We also take emails from you, the listener. As always send your emails into Podcast572@gmail.com Thank you for listening.

As always we take emails from you, the listener. You can send your emails in at Podcast572@gmail.com Thank you for listening!
