Show Notes
** THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED BEFORE NINTENDO'S LATEST ANNOUNCEMENTS **
The news was easy to miss: Activision Blizzard has settled with the SEC for $35 million, and admitted to no wrongdoing in its sexual discrimination and harassment lawsuits. So, is this the end of the story? Will anything change at the company or in the gaming industry as a whole? We discuss our disappointments and optimism.
Also, Hogwarts Legacy has garnered rave reviews from nearly every major outlet, confirming that this is the Wizarding game fans have anticipated for decades. But it's not without controversy, of course. We discuss our complicated feelings around the game in a larger cultural context.
Plus: Someone made the entire Legend of Zelda map in Minecraft and it is stupidly amazing.
Colette's playing: Gourdlets and Deadspace (Remake)
Matt's playing: Hero of Aethric & Desta
