We talk about all of the Xbox news from the last week and how it might impact the Xbox's future.
What We're Playing
- Cliff: Baldur’s Gate 3
- Colby: Persona 3, Monster Sanctuary
News
- The Future is Xbox! I Mean, the Future Has to Be Something I Guess?
- There Are a Lot of Game Pass Subs
- We Are About to See a Bunch of New-ish Systems
- Finally, a Reason to Buy a PlayStation Portal
- Fallout is Getting a Very Cool Special Edition
Questions
- Mansocks: What is the best video game movie or TV show adaption (and you can't say TLOU)?
- Princess_Megan: Why does Microsoft hate cross play? This popped up again during a conversation I was having with the IT Manager. We both play ESO occasionally, but on different platforms so we can't play together. It seems like an easy thing to set up now that Microsoft basically owns all of the game publishing companies

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
