Gaming Roundtable
We start with our usual Gaming Roundtable, sharing what we’ve been playing lately—from Minecraft and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion to the emotional indie gem Clair Obscur and more.
Beloved Franchises Return
We shift gears into a broader discussion about the resurgence of beloved franchises and cult titles, including the Oblivion remake, early impressions of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and the fresh wave of speculation around Half-Life 3.
Xbox Price Hikes
We also take a hard look at the Xbox pricing news, with games reaching $80, Game Pass price increases on the horizon, and the Series S/X seeing regional price hikes. What’s going on—and what does this mean for the future of gaming affordability?
Surviving the Tech Job Hunt
We close out the episode with an honest conversation about the realities of job hunting in tech. Brandon shares his experiences navigating the market, Matt tells stories from the hiring side, and the team offers thoughts on red flags, burnout, and the importance of culture fit.
