SIPTG 236: Cross the Rubicon (16/11/2020)

Despite having very little news, the boys still manage to have a bunch to talk about! Between the difficulty of buying stuff online, Take-Two’s new buy, record sales figures, and the lack of people buying Marvel’s Avengers, money, it turns out, talks! Well, money doesn’t, but the stuff around money helps us to talk!

SIPTG 230: English On! (28/09/2020)

Things are all topsy-turvy this week, as Graham takes over hosting duties and professionalism (kind of) ensues. The big ticket, $7.5b acquisition of Bethesda is obviously looked over, but so is Ubisoft’s continued errors, Blizzard 2.0, Amazon’s streaming service the (new) Spider-Man fiasco, and what’s still to come in 2020!‬

SIPTG 229: The Polioing (21/09/2020)

A busy week on the news front this week for the boys, with a whole bunch of new information on the PS5 launch surfacing – and a whole bunch of new questions that go along with it. The boys sift through all of that noise, as well as the latest chapter of Slap-Fight 2020, messy pre-orders, Michel Ancel, the new Nintendo stream, and plenty more!‬

SIPTG 228: Anti Delay (14/09/2020)

A whole bunch of news this week, and most of it is actually good news! Well, once you get past Apple’s & Epic’s slap-fight… The Microsoft machines have prices and dates (and maybe even a couple of games!), a PS5 event is incoming, and even Ubisoft (mostly) kept out of their own way as well! All of this, plenty of other news items, other games stuff, and what the opposite of a delay is to talk about! Fun times all ’round!‬

The continued Apple/Epic dissent, Lab Zero’s troubles, Nintendo news and rumours, and Gamescom are just some of the events on the books this week! AND: the boys look into a crystal ball to try to make sense of the launches of the new machines to come! #AllHailKingT’Challa‬
