We’re starting you off running this week with the video game news you need to stay competitive! What’s the latest on Destiny 2? What about that South Park difficulty mode? Nintendo Switch achievements? Developer stress? New game announcements, religious trepidation on Steam, and what exactly DOES Super Mario do for a living? We also tackle the knotty problem of ludonarrative dissonance, omg!

Have a byte of red-hot gaming news from the week that was! Jeremy, Dale, and LeGrande assemble to revisit some old business (Final Fantasy 15, Xbox, etc) and new business (Harvey Relief Done Quick, Nintendo’s indie spotlight and lawsuits, as well as the next game from the publisher of Stardew Valley) as well as the new releases of the week! We cover your new PS+ and Games With Gold offerings, as well as a few big free game updates.
