Show notes

Another week, another day of industry changing news as Heads of XBOX Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond resign from Microsoft, were they ousted, what's the future of XBOX? In the bad news competition, Sony shutters Bluepoint Studios, makers of the Demon's Souls remake and Shadow of the Colossus remake. In the games portion we get spooky with REANIMAL and Creature Kitchen, return to Helldivers 2, roll some dice in Rune Dice and wonder if Twitch is a lunch room bully?
