Brad and Terrence are completely hooked on BallXPit and dive into why it’s their latest gaming obsession. They also share their impressions of Absolum and Hades 2, discussing what makes each title stand out. Carrie is deep into her creature-collecting era, splitting time between Digimon Story: Time Stranger and Pokémon Legends: ZtoA. She explains why both games are delivering exactly what fans of the genre have been waiting for. In gaming news, Ubisoft has reportedly canceled a planned Assassin’s Creed game set during the Reconstruction era. We discuss why this decision feels cowardly, the industry’s reluctance to handle meaningful historical topics, and whether Ubisoft could have been trusted to do it justice in the first place. We also remember legendary developer Tomonobu Itagaki following his passing, discuss concerning Nintendo and Discord hacks shaking the industry, and ask the hard-hitting question: why can’t America get Street Fighter-themed burgers?
