Nintendo Switch 2 code name, a massive Pokémon leak, Concord's revival, and FOMO in collecting.

This week on the Game Deflators podcast, John and Ryan kick off the episode with a discussion about FOMO in game collecting and how it drives collectors to acquire new items they think they need. The guys discuss their own experiences and how they try to manage this urge to make more mindful collecting decisions.

Next, John and Ryan cover the latest updates on Concord, PlayStation's live service that was recently pulled from sale. They'll talk about the recent updates still happening on Steam and what they could mean for the game's future. Additionally, the guys break down the recent Pokémon leaks, including leaked source codes, unused designs, and plans for upcoming titles. 

Top cap off the episode, the Game Deflators discuss their experience with Fairytale Fights for the PS3. A gimmicky title with more blood and gore than you could imagine from little red riding hood; but is it still worth trying?

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
