We talk about everything from the surprisingly plentiful number of PS5 games to the disappointing lack of PS1 and PSP titles list. There are a lot of conflicting feelings, but we get into them all. Plus, after that discussion, we talk briefly about the Embracer Group purchase of Square Enix\u2019s western IPs, mainly because I didn\u2019t get a chance to in the last episode \ud83d\ude0a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, in the Whatcha Playin segment, Al talks about their time with Pok\u00e9mon Crystal and Horizon: Forbidden West while Emmett talks about his time with Deadpool and Naughty Bear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can listen to the show on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/los-harrow-games\/id1440699489\">iTunes<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/1JL6h6RpSc4z7zscRVc6pq\">Spotify<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/pca.st\/29RP\">Pocket Casts<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy83NGIyNWQ4L3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz\">Google Podcasts<\/a>, on this article, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/vgutvpodcasts\/episodes\/The-Players-Club-Podcast-Ep-93-Activisions-Still-Actin-Up-and-Kirbys-Still-Suckin-Up-e1h9919\">m<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/vgutvpodcasts\/episodes\/The-Players-Club-Podcast-Ep-97-The-Merely-Decent-Lineup-of-The-NEW-PlayStation-Plus-e1itlc2\">ore<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/s\/74b25d8\/podcast\/play\/52400962\/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2022-4-23%2F867a9448-59b4-81f0-ad25-d9134170f8a6.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Timestamps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The New PS Plus Lineup &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3:38<\/li><li>Embracer Group Acquisition &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1:14:44<\/li><li>Whatcha Playin &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1:32:42<\/li><li>Deadpool &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1:33:46<\/li><li>Pok\u00e9mon Crystal &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1:44:48<\/li><li>Naughty Bear &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1:52:40<\/li><li>Random Obscure Games &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2:03:18<\/li><li>Horizon: Forbidden West &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2:12:31<\/li><li>Housekeeping &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2:32:05<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Housekeeping:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/vgu.tv\/2022\/05\/18\/hypertime-hiatus-talking-dc-comics\/\">Hypertime Hiatus &#8211; Talking DC Comics &#8211; VGU.TV<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/vgu.tv\/2021\/09\/28\/time-doesnt-matter-when-your-universe-ends\/\">Time Doesn&#8217;t Matter When Your World Ends &#8211; VGU.TV<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/vgu.tv\/2022\/05\/19\/vgu-tv-week-in-news-podcast-episode-59-allan-has-some-things-to-say%ef%bf%bc\/\">VGU.tv Week in News Podcast Episode 59: Allan Has Some Things To Say\ufffc &#8211; VGU.TV<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YQ_xWvX1n9g&amp;t=590s\">Line Goes Up \u2013 The Problem With NFTs<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8dyPBkJuFdU&amp;t=9s\">Alpha Protocol&#8230; 10 Years Later<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/E2je-L1ODhA\">Overly Dedicated is Overly Flawed &#8211; K.Dot In Review (Knack Gameplay\/Commentary)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/bR5DW8Wn048\">Section.80 is Nearly a Classic &#8211; K.Dot In Review (Kirby &amp; The Forgotten Land Gameplay\/Commentary)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/V5IT1c_hr8A\">Good Kid, Maad City: A Certified Hood Classic &#8211; K.Dot In Review (Knockout City Gameplay\/Commentary)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/in0b-6rZ5MU\">How To Pimp a Butterfly Changed My Life &#8211; K.Dot In Review (Naughty Bear Gameplay\/Commentary)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/9S8CjEe4-Mk\">untitled unmastered: Great But Unrefined &#8211; K.Dot In Review (Vampire Survivors Gameplay\/Commentary)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/4aAUije9j3s\">Black Panther The Album: The TDE Family Reunion &#8211; K.Dot In Review (Deadpool Gameplay\/Commentary)<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCYNf0R9uHJCv-oJnEijWTWQ\">Check out YouTube Channel here!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VGU_TV\">Follow us on Twitter @VGU_TV!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You ready for this, playa?
