We're inching towards the last busy season of the year with Middle-Earth: Shadow of War and The Evil Within 2 releasing this week. But that's not all that's on our minds. Join us in this week's episode of our flagship podcast as we talk big game download sizes, loot boxes, the Nintendo World Championship, and more! (download link here).
We're back on a regular schedule until the end of time. We're all stressed out looking ahead to the dozens of games releasing in the next few weeks, but in the meantime we're kicking back a teensy bit. Caty got her first Xbox console (Baby's First Xbox), and is exploring the console family's library. Mike played Middle-Earth: Shadow of War, and was astounded by its 100gb file size on PC. Nadia ventured into the Big Apple to watch kids play Nintendo games they weren't familiar with. You can hear all these grand tales, plus some musings about the hot topic of the moment: loot boxes.
