Comedy
In this episode of the podcast, hosts Kiley and Pete talk news stories from the past couple of weeks. Usually this close to the end of E3, the news would slow down, but you would be wrong, as the stories came thick and fast. Were the stories good one? Absolutely not as it felt like we were covering some pretty hideous and potentially triggering news stories, including: Cyberpunk 2077 back on PSN with warning about playing game on base PS4 https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2021/06/21/sony-reluctantly-brings-cyberpunk-2077-back-to-the-playstation-store-so-is-it-fixed/ Final Fantasy 9 being adapted into an animated series https://www.gamesradar.com/final-fantasy-9-animated-series-is-officially-in-the-works/ Tekken x Street Fighter is "still pending" after Tekken creator Harada was mistranslated stating the game was cancelled https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-06-21-harada-laments-the-cancellation-of-tekken-x-street-fighter Chris Avellone has broken his silence regarding allegations of sexual misconduct and is now suing the accusers for libel https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2021/06/26/chris-avellone-strikes-back-sexual-misconduct-allegations-karissa-barrows-kelly-bristol-dying-light-obsidian-developer/?sh=416477a329ff Chip workers in Taiwan allegedly being imprisoned in factories to keep up with demand during the chip shortage https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/06/25/taiwan-chipmakers-keep-workers-imprisoned-factories-keep-global/ A recent article from The Gamer claims that they were made to pretend to kill Arabs during a press event for Sniper Ghost Warrior: Contracts 2 https://www.thegamer.com/sniper-ghost-warrior-contracts-2-press-event-military-training-experience-arab-middle-east/amp/?__twitter_impression=true We also take some questions from the live stream chat before the stream unfortunately went down.
