What’s Up, Playa?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, Emmett Watkins Jr<\/a> and Allan Muir<\/a> are here to chop it up about games. But this week we’re joined by Jess Howard<\/a>! This week, we’re talking all about the trends we hope to see in the gaming industry with the next generation, from work culture to game length, and a lot more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But first off, in the What We’re Playing segment, we have a huge batch of games to get through. Jess talks about her time with Hades and Genshin Impact. Al talks about his time with Baldur’s Gate 3 and Fallout 2. And Emmett talks about his time with Spellbreak, Persona 5 Royal, and Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can listen to the show on iTunes<\/a>, Spotify<\/a>, Pocket Casts<\/a>, Google Podcasts<\/a>, on this article, and m<\/a>o<\/a>re<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
