278: Julius Pringles
This week we’re joined by Janet Garcia, aka @gameonysus! In terms of news, at the time of recording there was a rumour that Halo Infinite’s standalone multiplayer mode might release on Monday 15th November (and it did!), so we discussed that. In other news: Elden Ring network test keys are being sold for hundreds on eBay, SteamDeck and Playdate are delayed, and the GTA Trilogy is a mess. Speaking of which, Mat and Janet talk about the GTA Trilogy ‘Definitive Edition’, we’ve all got things to say about Forza Horizon 5, and Sean discovers a new side to himself in VR. All that plus the US vs UK, the pronunciation of “Forza”, advent calendars, buffet etiquette, milk updates, and more. Games Discussed: Forza Horizon 5, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition, Call of Duty Vanguard, Titanfall 2, Blade and Sorcery.
