Get out the tin foil hats, because we have some baseless conspiracy theories for you! Forza Horizon has had a wild hot streak of great updates, and it almost perfectly coincides with the former Playground Games Creative Director leaving the company. Do we have any evidence there's a connection? Nope. Does it line up? Yep, it lines up way too well. Regardless, we still touch on the hottest topic in Forza right now, the Barbie Movie partnership and the corresponding giveaways and heavier-than-expected attention it's getting from official accounts. Jason makes an excellent point about the negatives that come with the Barbie partnership, and it might not be a point you have considered. We also recap yet another incredible year watching IMSA at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (thank you Sam Fellows🐐), we talk Koenigsegg Gemera, and Jason has a spirited Complaint Corner. For the F*** that car segment, it's a car that has only existed a couple of days, and it's a Lamborghini V12. You don't want to miss this heater of an episode - enjoy!
22:13 Forza Creative Director Quits... Is that why the game is getting better?
26:03 Barbie Debate
33:24 Complaint Corner
45:49 F*** That Car

Rally Adventure, Forza Creative Director Leaves Playground
(Note this episode originally aired in February) Hello and welcome to Episode 13! The guys dive into the Rally Adventure expansion before its complete reveal, and to no one's shock, Jason nails the prediction (mid). Still, it could have been worse, and the fellas give a thoughtful analysis. Also, get your tin foil hats on! Forza Horizon creative director Mike Brown, along with a few other employees working in key areas, have left Playground games. Could this be the start of noticeable changes and improvements to some areas we've been complaining about? We give a full, baseless guess on what it could mean (further reading here). One cool idea could be the introduction of customizable race suits, a suggestion from one of our followers! Moving on, Jason has some complaints about people who badmouth German cars and their reliability, we talk NASCAR's Garage 56 entry into Le Mans and brief F1 season predictions. For F*** that car, Aren has a brand new, small, stupid-looking truck; you may have forgotten it even exists. All this and more in our February edition of the Forza World Podcast!
Next Episode
Is Fujimi Kaido Returning? Forza Horizon Italian Cars + More
In our most organized, funniest, and purely Forza-focused episode yet, we tackle one of the biggest question marks about the upcoming Forza Motorsport game: will Fujimi Kaido be there? We've got an answer by breaking it down methodically and based on some interesting things we've come across. Aren was feeling especially negative about a few things, taking the reigns on this week's Complaint Corner for the first time ever about the Italian Cars that were recently added to Horizon 5 and some of the suspect car choices, and even the manufacturer wheel choices. From there, Jason gets particularly riled up about the lack of additional manufacturer wheel choices available for each car, and also the lack of customization options available in the Paint Booth. No F*** That Car this week due to the unusual level of quality (baseless) rants and great points! We round out this episode with arguably our funniest moment yet regarding a very recent giveaway.
If you're new to the show, this is a great episode to start with, and if this isn't your first rodeo, buckle up - Episode 15 is our best yet.
