It’s that time of the year!! Video games are on sale and a lot has changed since Black Friday 2024. So Ekamy, Lloyd, and I have advice, tips, tricks, and what to look out for when it comes to navigating the next two months of what will certainly induce some impulse purchases.
I also start the show off, by myself, with what I’ve been playing and the news. Headlines include: Steam is launching a bunch of new hardware, PlayStation had an Asia-focused State of Play (with some queer games!), the Mario Galaxy Movie got a new trailer, Horizon has a new game coming out (and it’s… weird), more layoffs, and a followup on last week’s Rockstar debacle.
