Helldivers 2 is great, but developer Arrowhead is having issues keeping players happy as the game's popularity has caused server issues, especially over the holiday weekend. Host Will Hernandez dives into his own issues with the game to start this week's episode.
In other video games chatter, the industry is changing in a big way with PlayStation and Xbox really beginning to change course in how they do business. Will also talks about Final Fantasy 16 and gives his thoughts about the book, Masters of Doom.
On the pro wrestling side of things, Will previews an upcoming huge pro wrestling weekend; TNA Impact; and Orange Cassidy defending the AEW International title in another promotion.
In a new (occasional?) segment, Will examines the Xbox business update from a journalism and public relations perspective.
And finally, Will introduces a new segment: the Brain Dead Comment of the Week.
