034: Caught Us Slipping
Episode description
It’s officially E3 season, and the news and leaks are dropping left and right!
“Logging On,” we’re chatting about the biggest pre-E3 rumors and teases, including Google Stadia, Destiny 2: Shadowkeep, Watch Dogs: Legion, Death Stranding, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Spongebob, and Square Enix’s upcoming Avengers co-op game. We also cover the recent Pokémon Direct from Nintendo, Microsoft’s attempts to defunk the gaming community with Axe, a brand new handheld console called the “Playdate” from Panic, and the nail in the coffin for both Anthem and Fallout 76.
“These Past Two Weeks in Nerdom,” we’re super behind on our trips to the movies, and still need to find time for Detective Pikachu and Godzilla, although we will probably be skipping Dark Phoenix. After a brief discussion of the Pride Month drama surrounding YouTube, we spend some time discussing the trope of PoC foot soldiers in our favorite franchises, namely Avengers and Game of Thrones, respectively.
Last but not least, new updates have us returning to old favorites on “The Homescreen.” Destiny 2’s Season of Opulence just launched with a hugely entertaining new game mode reminiscent of Mario Party, while recent and upcoming changes to The Division 2 and Apex Legends have Big Nkrumah’s heart fluttering.
