dia.log - The Gamer Matters Podcast

  "Video games, am I right?" It's been a wild two weeks for gaming. Apex Legends out of nowhere just dropped. Daniel and Anan liked the free-to-play battle royale, while our resident Titanfall fan Wam laments that we are getting this instead of Titanfall 3. And the Metro Exodus talk continues, for all the wrong reasons. Meanwhile, Meck continues his looter-shooter adventures and weighs in on...

In this episode of dia.log - The Gamer Matters Podcast, we have Anan pining for Metro Exodus so much we drafted an open letter to request one (#GiveAnanMetroExodus). We also had Meck complaining about lolis and explaining his divisive opinions of Tom Clancy's The Division. He also played another game with a name at the front, the new 4X strategy game Jon Shafer's At The Gates. Meanwhile, Wam tried...

Meanwhile, trash connoisseur Daniel regrets playing Fallout 76,...

As we are near the end of the year, the Gamer Matters crew have been pretty busy. We checked out the ridiculous gaming chair that is the Acer Predator Thronos at the KL Major Dota 2 tournament.

Meck just finished Red Dead Redemption II before the podcast and struggled to get his points...

What a season, what a season. With the start of the fall anime season, all of our video games discussion gets a bit sidetracked. A bit.
