There are ways our industry has been recently affected by protests against racial inequality and we need to discuss it and what it means for our future. But after that we also need to talk about why the Game Gear Mini is so mini, where Skelattack came from and why Konami’s publishing it, and what DONTNOD could do with a brand new studio.

Glad you guys weren't afraid to chat about BLM. I said this in the replies to Cup of Jones--but I don't want to watch you guys bite yer tongues. I'm here for the personalities and that includes when things are weighing on you like crazy. Always love, but this week a little extra respect.

2020-06-07 23:04:07 +0000 UTCThe 3 person + Ian format works in Zoom form of podcast. I hate three people in the studio, but for podcast on zoom looks good and full. Maybe make it more permanent until pandemic is over?

2020-06-07 12:38:13 +0000 UTCAbout the Playstation canceled event. Yes, I believe they were genuine with their reasons for canceling. But there could have been trailer(s) of new games that depicted police violence or racial violence that could have been a little too close to what was happening currently for Sony's liking. And it was too late to make a new trailer. Just a thought.

2020-06-06 18:15:22 +0000 UTCNo discussion about Jason Schreier's newest scoop this week, which also marks his debut at his new job at Bloomberg news? Take Two did some shady stuff with Kerbal Space Program 2's Developer Star Theory, which had to be shut down due to this. It honestly sets a new low for corporate shady business in the games industry. Source: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-06-03/kerbal-space-program-2-release-disrupted-by-corporate-strife Maybe I missed it, I didn't listen to all of it yet and was lately a bit out of the loop, so apologies if it was discussed.
2020-06-06 01:46:36 +0000 UTCHeh, I'm one of the 5.8% that got platinum on Gravity Rush (Vita)
