The recent Playstation Showcase was not quite what we expected. Join Logan and Micah as they revisit the Showcase and share their thoughts on what could have made it a lot better. The guys also dig deep into Tears of the Kingdom (no spoilers, of course). In the pre-show, the guys discuss Logan's musical hype stylings, extra discussion around the Playstation Showcase, and how YouTube has made them self-concious.

The time has finally come: Tears of the Kingdom is upon us! But before we can discuss the game, we have to finish some and we did just that for this episode. We also dig in to the recent interview with Phil Spencer that KindaFunny hosted regarding Xbox and Redfall. We get into listener write-ins that forced us to watch the Gran Turismo movie trailer and we don't exactly hate it.

As the winds begin to settle and it looks like Xbox gets closer to acquiring Activision/Blizzard/King, the UK CMA throws a wrench by blocking the acquisition deal! Joy! What does this mean for Xbox?

We also dig in to the fascinating news that PS5 is selling better than PS4, which forces all those scummy scalpers to sell their overstock systems at a loss. We dig in to Patron write ins where we take a look at new contenders in the mobile cloud gaming market, discuss the games we can't help but revisit, our lack of playing the Street Fighter 6 demo, and slaying demons around Christmas time.
