Black Gamers Need More Than Braids | Ep. 384

Is AI a helping hand to struggling artists or a quick way to steal another artist's hard work? That's at the center of a controversy brewing with the artists over at Corridor Digital. Speaking of digital art, one detail that seems to be tough for some game developers is Black hair.

No word on if a new game is coming, but the new animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, Mutant Mayhem, looks like a breath of fresh air for the long-running franchise. Finally, we catch up with HBO's The Last of Us and are oh-so-close to the finale. Will they stick the landing?
