First, I hope everyone affected by the weather in the US is safe and doing well, and I hope you’re getting the help you need. Brad will coincidentally be traveling to North Carolina, so his availability will depend on how much of the infrastructure is back. We’ll have a bit of a looser schedule as we bebop around, but we were able to get some of our Tuesday recordings done on Monday so Alex and I will be streaming on Tuesday this week. On Thursday, I’ll be back with another stream, and ...

We'll stream the winner this Friday the 27th as a show of gratitude for you and your undying support. We say it all the time, but it remains no less true: we can't do it without you!

It’s definitely feeling like Fall here in New Jersey. It’s time to cozy up with a blanket and grind through rep missions in Star Wars Outlaws like a madman. Or maybe fight some heresy in Space Marine 2? Or, by the end of this week, spend those hours with a brand new Legend of Zelda game! Plenty to keep me busy as we head into some of my favorite months. In terms of keeping me busy with work, Alex and I will be streaming on Monday, kicking things off with a game called The Operator that I...

At the time of writing, Sony has just announced a nine – count them, NINE – minute “technical presentation” by Mark Cerny for Tuesday morning at 11AM Eastern. Is this it? The PlayStation 5 Professional?! Are we mere hours away from a new console announcement? Well, fine, “new console” may be a bit of a stretch, but I for one will be glad if we can stop trading in rumors and scuttlebutt and just get the real story straight from Sony.
