About this episode
The episode features discussions on various games and industry news with pro-gamers DatModz and Shroud.
Cohh is on vacation so this week JP and Zeke are joined by Pro-gamers DatModz and Shroud! Before getting into the games we realize how young Shroud is to everyone's despair. Then we get down and dirty with Marathon, a very good game that may be too hard for the average player. Will that hinder the game long term? Then we go deep with our time with Crimson Desert, a weirdo game for the true freaks out there! 0:00 - Intro 1:00 - Disneyland 3:20 - Games while podcasting 5:30 - Epic Games laying off 1000 people 14:30 - Sony raises price of PS5 and Pro 20:00 - Star Wars XCOM 23:50 - Borderlands 4 33:20 - DLSS5 slop 36:00 - Warhorse Studios switching to AI translation 47:10 - Viewbotting 1:00:30 - Marathon deep dive 1:34:40 - Steam chart andy 1:35:55 - Last Epoch 1:48:50 - Crimson Desert 2:34:00 - WoW 2:43:00 - Quarantine Zone 2:50:00 - Hellmart 3:00:10 - The next big FPS game by Shroud 3:09:25 - Shoutouts See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
