Show notes

No, your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you. After 270 episodes, we’re finally joined by our friend Hutch of YouTube and Twitch fame for an excellent podcast episode. We start the cast with healthy discussion about pop culture, movies, and TV shows, then we ask Hutch some questions to get to know him a little better.

In the news this week, Playtonic Games removes JonTron’s voice acting contributions in their game Yooka-Laylee over his questionable “personal viewpoints,” rumors have surfaced about Call of Duty returning to a World War II setting, and Blizzard reveals StarCraft: Remastered with upgraded graphics and audio from the original 1998 classic.

Plenty of promising new titles are releasing on Steam this week, including the final Dark Souls 3 DLC, an interesting new take on chess, a Zelda-inspired action-adventure game, the newest strategy game from the developer of Trine, a snake-based physics puzzle game, a frantic twin-stick shooter, an atmospheric top-down horror game, and an advanced system creation game that features “artificial life.”

Our viewer questions inquire about the best items from Wawa and Sheetz convenience stores, tips for an aspiring young YouTuber, and gaining the ability to fly in exchange for a major side effect. Lastly, we feature an iTunes review that doesn’t seem to make any sense…or does it?
