001: Rooting For Everyone Black

For the very first episode of Gamer Friends, AudioNerd64 and Big Nkrumah are keeping it all black everything for Black History Month. “Logging On,” we’re discussing the DICE Awards, Destiny 2’s new roadmap, the current state of PUBG, Mario Kart coming to mobile for the first time, and Burnout Paradise’s (lack of) microtransactions. In “These Past Two Weeks in Nerdom,” we’re diving into a spoilery dicussion of DC’s Black Lightning, everyone’s new favorite movie, Black Panther, and speculating on the future of the MCU after our first visit to Wakanda. The discussion starts at 00:21:34 so skip ahead to 00:43:00 to avoid any spoilers! On “The Homescreen,” we’re covering Assassin’s Creed Origins, PUBG, GTA Online, and The Sims. Wrapping up, AudioNerd64 is “Late to the Party” on Assassin’s Creed, and your Gamer Friends discuss the history and mechanics of the franchise through the years, and why Bayek is such a BFD for the industry. Stick around after the episode to hear our thoughts on Kendrick Lamar's "Black Panther" album.
