In this week's episode we discuss the many announcements made during the PlayStation Showcase, including the GoW Ragnarok trailer and Spider-man 2 teaser, which confused our comic book experts and hosts into thinking Venom is Mexican. Seriously, how do they NOT know about Kraven the Hunter? AlanJohn would've known, he cringes alongside all the other listeners of this episode. We also talk about the Atmosphere 1.0.0 update, a forgotten PS4 emulator on Linux, as well as the Epic v Apple lawsuit...

In this week's episode we discuss the announcements from EA's Live presentation, specifically just one - Dead Space getting a remake. None of us ever played Dead Space 1, 2 or 3 so choosing this topic to discuss was a silly idea, but there really wasn't much else going on this week.

Look, I'll be honest with you: not a lot happened this week. We tried to talk about the new connectivity between the Dolphin emulator and mGBA, but we ended up talking about GameBoy Advance Video cartridges. We tried to talk about Konami ditching E3, and just talked about how weird Yu-Gi-Oh! is nowadays. The real death knell this week was the Among Us jokes. I don't know what to tell you. They can't all be homeruns. At least we give Activision...
