It’s a hefty week of news with lots of topics to discuss, so let’s get started before the price goes up again.

The show kicks off with Bri Galgano, Jacob Garner, and Aki on hand to chat about the news of the week including the breaking news that Microsoft is RAISING prices on consoles and accessories as well as looking to release games at $80 this fall. Yay. We also talk the Borderlands 4 State of Play, PS Plus games for May, Clair Obscur’s sales figures, EA layoffs, and tons more. Plus a batch of reviews!

We end the show with a song from Jake “virt” Kaufman from a long time ago. I don’t think it’s online anywhere, I don’t know how I got it, and for all I know he doesn’t even remember making it. It’s very ridiculous. I miss Jake. You still out there, bud?
