This week we walk that fine line between fantasy maritime crafting and techno-anime as we navigate the games we played, and we bring you all the new releases you want to scope out! We discuss Amazon Games’ new MMO, New World. Scarlet Nexus is a game that stands on the shoulders of the Fabula Nova Crystalis series, but is it just another big dumb giant babies? Plus, we dig into news of game events going ahead or shutting down, more Activision Blizzard lawsuits, Capcom hearts PC, and the next Valve Index is possibly master of its own destiny. Speed run news, and more!

We cover the cross-gen pricing debacle at Playstation, Chinese gaming restrictions, as well as a long-time Nintendo employee calling it quits and a lot more going on in our speed run news segment! Plus, Conan Dance Remix. Join in live or in this podcast feed for more game bytie stuff!
