- There was a surprise Nintendo Direct, and they launched the Battle Royale game that will defeat all the others - Tetris 99. Free to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers! I played it on Twitch!
- It turns out that Expert Plus players of Beat Saber are inhuman - so much so, that Valve had to update SteamVR to allow for faster movements than they thought humanly possible.
- Activision Blizzard had a confusing week - announcing record profits while laying off 8% of their workforce at the exact same time. We examine some of the reasons that might have happened.
- Then we take calls about Tetris 99, TetriNET, Pac Man Vs, and board games like Pandemic and Codenames.

I definitely enjoyed this demo! there's a ton of customization, both your avatar's facial features and uniform colors, as well as your mech (and its interchangeable parts) can be fully customized with different colors as well.
As for the game itself controlling your mech was easy enough, and the demo had a good enough difficulty curve where the first couple missions were easy but then the last two are just a little more difficult. (the last one really ramps it up though took me a few days to knock that one out!)
Overall I was surprised how much fun I had with the demo, and will definitely look into picking this up when it releases later this year!
