Some big announcements were dropped at The Game Awards this week, including the first new Playstation 5 game, as well as the official name for the next Xbox. What do we think of the name "Xbox Series X" and what interesting acronym does that lend itself to? We discuss this as well as the awards themselves, and how we think the overall show was received. Then we get into the week's news which includes several other announcement events as well from both Playstation and Nintendo!

We responded to episode comments about people accepting streaming games in the future and the upcoming (as of the broadcast) Game Awards - sorry this is up so late so comments on this episode won't be read on the next episode. Intellivision has shown actual hardware and software for the upcoming Amico system, including the LED-enabled disc controller with touchscreen, and shows it actually working. Tron: Evolution owners on PC are no longer able to validate their legally purchased copy, due to Disney no longer paying SecurROM for the DRM. (The game had already been delisted due to the lost of the Daft Punk music licensing.) Evolve PR has put out a study saying that media attendance has declined at E3 due to its shift to a more consumer based experience. Then we take calls about game subscription services and The Game Awards.

Sony celebrated 25 years of Playstation this week, and we also take a look back on the legacy of the Playstation, all the way back to the Playstation 1 where many early memories these podcast hosts share were formed. After a walk down memory lane though, we also get into the week in gaming news, including new DLC arriving for Kingdom Hearts after nearly a year of the game being released.  

We start off with some viewer comments about Google Stadia, Half-Life: Alyx and VR, and game streaming in general. The Steam Controller is dead. Long live the Steam Controller. Facebook has purchased Beat Games, the studio that brought you Beat Saber, and while it doesn't mean that Beat Saber will be Oculus exclusive, it might mean that modding will be clamped down and that their next game will be an Oculus exclusive. The Game Awards are coming up, and while it's trendy to hate on them and Geoff Keighley, I won't be doing that. Then we take calls about the Game Awards and whether Death Stranding should be a part of the awards considering that Geoff was in the game and Hideo Kojima is on the board of The Game Awards.

We'll tell you! Neon Genesis Evangelion 新世紀エヴァンゲリオン returns to Shinkalion, changes in Japanese law that effects talent agencies and former clients, what does Edward Snowden have to with Lupin III? The return of Tokyo Mew Mew, with a twist! Captain Harlock's seiyuu passes, and Pokémon manhole covers in Hokkaido! Meanwhile in Japan... A senior citizen arrested for excessive complaints... A taxi runs over man and then drives into wall... And a busty Japanese YouTube chef sells ad space on her chest?!
