614: Monkeys Are Notorious Dippers

This week! We talk about writing video game reviews and needing to ‘research’ what to write. In other words we kick things off by talking about the recent plagiarism of a Dead Cells review by ex-IGN staffer Filip Miucin. We also chat about SMB2 boss Wart’s absence in Smash Bros., Fortnite’s Google Play juke, Red Dead Redemption 2 hype, 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 – use coupon code A8icc10 for a nice discount.
