GDX Episode 2

Welcome to episode 2 of GDX. Your weekly podcast about videogames, movies, tv, and geek culture. This is an episode where the crew will probably make some of you angry..... Oops.
The guys start off talking about Blizzcon, the yearly convention put on by Blizzard/Activision to celebrate everything Blizzard. Day one is normally a press conference to announce new things coming in the pipeline for some of the biggest Blizzard games which include World of Warcraft, Heroes of the Storm, Overwatch, and this year Diablo. This year it was the Diablo announcement that set the internet on fire. While many fans were eagerly awaiting the announcement of Diablo 4 Blizzard announced instead Diablo Immortal, a mobile Diablo game that takes place between Diablo 2 and 3. Since this isn't a new PC Diablo game and it isn't Diablo 4, the internet decided to grab their pitch forks and come for Blizzard's head. Many feel this is a cash grab by Blizzard, and that it's Blizzard selling out more to their activision overlords. While both Chris and Kaleb feel that Blizzard could handle the situtation much better than how they did, the guys feel that the angry mob of the internet is going too far.
It seems like the internet just really wanted to be angry this week because the guys move on from the Diablo Immortal fiasco, to the final Smash Ultimate Nintendo Direct. Before the direct there was a leak commonly refered to as the Grinch Leak that supposedly showed 5 more characters coming to Super Smash Brother Ultimate. Those characters included Shadow the Hedgehog, Banjo Kazooie, Mach Rider, Ken Masters, Geno, and the Chrous Kids. Many felt this leak was legitimate with what seemed like the poster getting fired after it was leaked, and the promo materials shown were almost identical to the offical promo materials for the game. When the direct happen it was reveled that the Grinch Leak was false. Instead of all the characters shown in the leak Smash is only getting 2 more characters (Ken Masters and Inciniroar) ontop of this the game is only getting 5 DLC characters no more and no new echo fighters. This set the Nintendo fans to the net to yell and complain. The guys have mixed feeling about this.
The guys talk a bit about Red Read Redemption 2. While the guys wish they could have spent more time with the game, it killed Chris' PS4, and Kaleb needs to beat Assassin's Creed Odyssey before really jumping into it. They do spend time discuss the problems with Red Dead 2, which include the pacing that the internet seems to be all over these days. They do try to dissuade that the pacing does get better after chapter 2.
The guys end the cast talking Resident Evil 2 remake. Since the guys haven't spoken about the gameplay footage shown at E3 and the subsequent videos, they spend some time reminicing about the how the new footage has them excited for one of their favorite games of all time.
