So, let’s start with the elephant in the room. This is not the next day. We’ve had a rather busy week in real life, and it slipped past us. We apologize, but if nothing else, you can end your week with this episode and only need to wait a week less for the next one!
In this episode, we discuss the events that took place during our time away and some of the games that caught our interest. Marvel Rivals and how to fire people and make a profit. Phil Spencer has an opinion about how to preserve video games. And we wrap up with a discussion about Disney and content warnings.
We do live recordings of the 1/2 assed Show every other Saturday at 7 pm EST, 6 pm CST, and 4 pm PST over on Twitch, our next recording will be on March 8th so be sure to join us by going to this link and giving the channel a follow.
