Tim delves into his excitement for WoW Classic and it's August 27th release date (YAY!). He also jumps into Party Hard 2 and A Plague Tale: Innocence, two new games he's played. Finally, he makes some off-the-cuff tinfoil hat E3 predictions for the upcoming event!
Tim discusses the Intellivision Amico - who is this aimed at? It seems cool, but who knows what it's targeted at? Then, Tim goes into Randy Pitchford and his near-total meltdown rant against Game Informer. Oh boy, it's a doozy.
Tim on a time crunch - who knew? Episode 25 is just catching up and hanging out and talking about classic games and how they've evolved over a few short generations - from the N64/PSOne/Dreamcast era to the GameCube/Xbox/PS2 era even into the PS3/Xbox 360/Wii era. The focuses have changed, but a lot of super simple games have stayed around.
ShakkaPanda joins the show for this episode! Shakka and Tim discuss content creation philosophies and inspirations, intentions and the fact that "it's okay to play." The pair also dig into Pewdiepie joining DLive to live stream there, and discuss the risks and concerns that being on a platform with such a polarizing figure can bring. They also talk about morality and whether your own content should be dictated by others on the platform or the platform's choices.
Tim talks about supporting content creators, the Epic Games Store versus Steam (and the weird fanboyism around it), and callout culture on Twitter.
