Join the Professors for Course #23! We start with our most in-depth dives yet: the sudden 45-day death of Highguard and its relation to Marathon. Nintendo's strategic acquisition of Bandai Namco Studios Singapore. We then break down Capcom crushing on PC hard while Sony reportedly pulls the plug on single-player PC ports. The US government blocks a 2D game for being "too realistic," for the simulation that exists in the game. Am exploit that broke Overwatch lobbies, and why Call of Duty leads the pack in cheat searches. We wrap with Meta’s creepy "Digital Afterlife" patent and Heru’s deep dive into the latest WoW expansion and profession changes.

Join the Professors for Course #22 as we grade the week's biggest gaming disasters! We kick off with Hideki Kamiya’s viral curse on story leakers and the "legal evolution" of a Pokémon shop that got robbed and then bullied by Nintendo. We go inside xAI’s "war rooms" where Elon Musk is forcing Grok to grind League of Legends before tackling the absolute chaos at Xbox following Phil Spencer’s retirement and Asha Sharma’s suspicious Xbox account scandal. We also roast Sony’s sneaky plan to make you pay for the global RAM shortage and Ubisoft’s "AAAA" flop, Skull and Bones, compared to the indie hit “Windrose”. Finally, we analyze the NY Attorney General’s massive lawsuit against Valve’s "loot box" gambling empire.

Join the Professors as we deep-dive into the massive PlayStation State of Play, the breakout hit Mewgenics, and our time as superhero dispatchers in Dispatch! We start with the announcement of a game that Heru has been dying to play, also the God of War trilogy remake, and MGS Master Collection Vol. 2. Then we tackle an apparent Steam Deck shortage and the HDD "Price Apocalypse." We analyze the Sons of Sparta controversy, Square Enix’s Killer Inn, and the tactical cat-breeding excellence of Mewgenics. It turns out Heru was on the money from last week as we investigate Logitech’s Superstrike bans and Steam’s new hardware review tags. Finally, we discuss the PS4’s 2026 roadmap and then we finish with our personal breakdown and review of Dispatch!
