This week we talk about the unwarranted backlash coming to Laura Bailey and how ridiculous you have to be to get upset with performers over performances. EVO Online's cancelation highlights the root issue behind the uphill climb to the FGC continues to face in delivering their product. $70 games appear to be coming down the pipe but should they be? And do you trust food out of a trash can? Generations of video games says you should! Use our Amazon page to donate to the show: www.densepixels.com/...

Did anyone realize Fortnite was still in early access? We have some qualms with the new Cyberpunk and Avengers footage, Crucible goes back to the drawing board, another Kickstarter cautionary tale, and a very robust Post Office this week.

The game industry is seeing another Me Too-esque reckoning, and not a moment too soon. Mixer did exactly what Brad predicted it would years ago. EA Play was predictably underwhelming.

The week that was supposed to be E3 turned out not to be a let down, as Sony finally unveiled the PlayStation 5 in all its curvaceous glory. We give our thoughts on the reveal as well as the games which piqued our interest the most during the presentation.

The wildest monetization plan ever has arrived, and you can't be prepared for how nuts it is. Brad digs up a hidden gem in Moonlighter, the cash-in ports can't (and won't) stop, Konami did a kind of cool thing, Saudi Arabia gets to show off how "progressive" they are, and we talk video game endings, twists, and cool mechanics in the post office.

What a reveal of the new Xbox Series X "gameplay", huh? Yeah...that presentation was pretty bog standard alright.

Terrence is actually broadcasting live from the Streets of Rage, but did SoR4 stick the landing? We also discuss the Assassin's Creed Valhalla trailer, Geoff Keighley absolutely destroying what's left of E3's carcass with his Summer Games Fest, the real culprits behind the Naughty Dog hack, the trash fire that EVO is likely to be shifting to online this year, Billy Mitchell being a douche (again), and Nintendo's antiquated (even for the time!) reasoning for debuting friend codes.

It was Wrestlemania weekend, but just as this was a strange Wrestlemania due to current events, we aren't doing a full recap. That said though...you know we have to talk Boneyard and Firefly Funhouse Match because holy hell what a surprising event those turned out to be. We also answer your Wrestlemania questions. In gaming, Resident Evil 3 is the Die Hard 2 of games, Final Fantasy VII might be a seminal game of the generation?, Gearbox and Randy Pitchford are being crappy again, and the DualSen...

Terrence is pretty unimpressed with Predator: Hunting Grounds, and also unimpressive is the fact that Micah is still playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, this time with 100% more Dr. Doom. Epic is truly trying to take over the world, there's one Mario game that should NEVER me remastered, GameStop associates are protecting themselves with plastic bags now, and Wrestlemania is gonna be really damn weird, guys.

That was certainly a console reveal. A very long, informative, over explained (and yet under explained) console reveal. How is backwards compatibility working on PS5 again? GameStop also had themselves a week that it's *ahem* essential they learn from. We also talk about our experiences with the COVID-19 situation, both in gaming and personal terms.

The C-virus has rightfully lent to a slow news week. Obviously Brad and Carrie find their way into a massive baseball tangent. E3 got canceled literally hours after we recorded last week. We talk about the new Xbox controller. Good news is we answer several questions in the Post Office about how to survive after an apocalypse which seems prescient!

We talk about GameStop probably more than we ever have now that the muzzle is off as we discuss Reggie Fils-Aime's surprising appointment to the GameStop board of directors and what the future may hold for a company in crisis. Micah gives his top-line thoughts on Granblue Fantasy Vs, we figure out how long the ESA has to make a decision on E3 2020, Ghost of Tsushima is coming out real soon, and 2K Games can make football games again (with a catch...but maybe not for long?).
