Oh, and Snoop Dogg is ma...

In this sidequest, we're exploring horrifying AI art, RDJ as Tony Stark as Dr. Doom (no that's not a typo), skill-based matchmaking, and the sad news that Game Informer has closed after 33 wonderful years. We also explored the topic of diversity, equity, and inclusivity in video games. Is "wokeness" ruining video games? Why do some developers seem so obsessed with making sure their games include diverse representation? Is there an ...
Welcome to Sidequest. Josh is back, along with a fresh new face named Rob (actually his whole body is named Rob, but you get the idea) to talk about the world through the lens of video games. Not really a gaming news show and not completely a video game show, you just have to listen to get it, so listen and you'll get it!
