Our sidequest this week took us into the FUUUTUURRE (cue time machine noises), where we talked about what lies ahead for video games beyond the current generation of consoles and about what games we're looking forward to this year. Back in the present, Epic is facing more legal scrutiny, Sega is getting into the subscription business, and we talked about the books we read in 2024. Oh, and there is...

If you want to know what the absolute best (and some of the worst) games are, this is the...

Our sidequest this week took us to New Mexico, where Atari attempted to bury their shame in the 80's.

In this sidequest, we're exploring horrifying AI art, RDJ as Tony Stark as Dr. Doom (no that's not a typo), skill-based matchmaking, and the sad news that Game Informer has closed after 33 wonderful years.

E3 2021 was... something that happened.
