Show Notes
Another new generation of gaming is nearly upon us, but what value does it bring? What does it mean? And how the heck do you remember the progression of Xbox names?
Sean and Vinnk feel their age as they discuss what the ninth generation of gaming may bring, try to differentiate from the "pro" versions of the eighth generation, and worry about yet another push towards digital-only consoles. We talk about Animal Crossing again in Future Retro, this time with Sean's perspective, and Vinnk surprises himself, and us, with his latest review.

A friend of the show passed away last November. She made games that shaped our childhoods, and graciously offered her time for an interview and cameo for one of our videos reviewing her work on Out of This World.
It used to be true, and still is to some extent, that visiting a video game store in Japan is a rite of passage for foreign visitors to Japan, but if you pull out a camera to take a video you may find you are no longer welcome.
New Xbox Series X consoles don't have discs. New Xbox consoles aren't even Xboxes. Or Consoles.

Sean sent Vinnk a blu-ray copy of The Last of Us for Christmas with the expectation he'd rather watch the show than play the game. However, our livestream audience had very strong opinions about the best order to experience this amazing story. Should Vinnk play the game even though it's a lot longer, and survival/horror isn't really his thing? Or does the HBO series which dives down deep into its characters and is quite a bit lighter on zombies and the shoot shoot bang bang a better path?
