Episode Description:
Happy New Year! 2025 is here, and wow, has it come in swinging. This week, I kick things off with a chaotic update on how my dog almost broke me (financially and emotionally), before diving into the wild world of gaming. From wildfires disrupting major game studios to Ubisoft delaying Assassin's Creed Shadows again (shocker), Nvidia's mind-blowing RTX 50-series GPUs, and a delightfully twisted game called Liar's Bar—we’ve got a lot to unpack. Buckle up—it’s going to be a ride!
