Assemble, Deer Listeners!
Fun fact: Deer Avenger is a real video game but that's not what we're talking about this episode! Adam discusses his recent roadtrip and Logan shares his thoughts about his current season of gaming, or lack thereof. For the Topic of the Episode, Blizzard was recently approached by Rajan Zed, president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, about Symmetra's "Devi" skin in Overwatch and it's possible removal due to disrespect of the Hindu deity. The guys discuss if this is something we should support, our thoughts on a Jesus Christ costume, and our thoughts on deities in games in general.

Everything is better on Vita.
Pokemon GO has completely taken over the world. Is this part of Nintendo’s plans for world domination? We don’t know but it sure is fun! The guys discuss what it’s like to fall in and out of love with Pokemon GO, just like the rest of the world, but is there something more to this mobile game? We discuss the good and the bad about the game, as well as what we have been playing (besides Pokemon GO). Adam gives us his reaction to Playstation VR while Logan talks about getting back into some Xbox 360 gaming!
