Ep 8: Cyberpunk Edgerunner's Showrunner joins us to explain how he pulled it off
Listen now
Description
Welcome back to Friends Per Second! This week Jirard is off sick so we're joined by the incorrigible Tamoor Hussain. We chat about those GTA VI leaks and wonder aloud: 'how is this different to a journalist leaking insider scoops (besides the whole, illegal break-and-entering thing). Plus, we sat down with the showrunner for Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Rafal Jaki, and he talked us through the show's creation from thought bubble in his brain to a show that is *kinda* rehabilitating Cyberpunk 2077 better than any patch or update ever did.  Shoot us an email! We'd love to answer your questions. Hit up [email protected]. Make em weird but not *too* weird. You know what I'm talking about. 00:00:00 - Intro 00:02:06 - GTA 6 leaks 00:26:42 - How we feel leaks 00:40:29 - Dan Allen leaker blowback 00:51:12 - Cyberpunk Edgerunners interview 01:53:41 - New Releases 01:57:43 - Forspoken 02:00:28 - Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty 02:02:26 - Scorn 02:07:26 - Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope 02:09:44 - The Last of Us Part 1 02:11:49 - Trombone Champ 02:15:43 - Save Room 02:17:21 - Hyper Demon 02:18:54 - 20 Minutes Till Dawn 02:19:51 - Lucy got a Steam Deck 02:24:02 - Outro -- Let's meet our hosts: - Jake Baldino (aka the Before You Buy Guy) is pretty much the most watched reviewer on YouTube across both Gameranx and his personal channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/JakeBaldino). If you're obsessed with Delorians, The Mummy and Pizza you can discuss that stuff with him directly over on Twitter:  @JakeBaldino - Lucy James is a Senior Producer at Gamespot and a Creative Producer at Giant Bomb. She's actually, like, experienced and credentialed and has real life skills and stuff, while the rest of the gang would be funemployed if the YT algorithm didn't kiss them for random, inexplicable reasons. Oh, and she streams, too: https://www.twitch.tv/lucyjamesgames - Jirard (aka The Completionist: https://www.youtube.com/c/ThatOneVideoGamer) has been doing YouTube since before Noah wore short pants. Over the course of more than a decade, Jirard has completed HUNDREDS of games to bring you the quality of review that almost no other reviewer dare bring you, getting the 100% completion trophy for every title before putting pen to paper. Jirard has a let's play channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/superbeardbros). He's a host on the newly re-launched X-Play (https://www.youtube.com/c/xplay) and in his spare time he fires off the occasional hot-take over on Twitter: @TheCompletionist - Skill Up used to work at McDonalds but he got fired for skimming too many chicken nuggets. He says he regrets it since he's never had a better job since.  -- Listen to the Friends Per Second Podcast on your favourite podcast platform: https://linktr.ee/friendspersecond Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheFPSPodcast Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/friendspersecondpodcast/ Follow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@friendspersecond --
