598: Nice Expletive Model

This week! We folded a little cardboard, played a little Yakuza 6, a little God of War (no spoilers beyond the first hour), relationships with games PR back in the day, the benefits of Xbox One’s backward compatibility strategy and so much more. Join us, won’t you?

ALSO! We are happy to have been invited back to Scoopfest this year by the fine folks at Matt & Mattingly’s Ice Cream Social. It takes place October 11-14, 2018. You can get more information at heyscoops.com/scoopfestvegas. Early bird tickets are on sale now. It’s going to be a great time. And if you book your hotel at the Orleans Hotel & Casino (near the venue!) - use coupon code A8icc10 for a nice discount on your accommodations.
