It’s a tardy for the party episode of Gamer Friends! This go around we’re “Logging On” with a note on the recent mass shootings in the United States and the implications of blaming violent video games, related and unrelated Call of Duty news, the joint Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony loot box announcement, Destiny 2: Shadowkeep’s delay, Apex Legends Solo Mode, Mortal Kombat news that doesn’t involve racism, and EA’s Need for Speed: Heat announcement.
Moving on to “These Past Two Weeks in Nerdom,” we are explicitly not discussing the Sony/Marvel nonsense until next episode, but we are digging into Rocko’s Modern Life and Invader Zim’s return via Netflix, Amanda Seyfreid’s bad decision, Venom 2 news, and a loving tribute to Toni Morrison.
Finally, on “The Homescreen,” it’s been a Rockstar kind of month so far, with Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption II on the docket, as well as Apex Legends’ new mode (not just the drama) and Destiny 2’s “Solstice of Heroes” event.
Thank you so much for listening! As always, we really appreciate the support. Make sure to follow us on Instagram and Twitter, give us a rating or review, and tell your gamer friends about the show! We’ll catch you back here in just one week.
