Sean also has some early thoughts on the controversial Atomic Heart. The Bioshock-inspired game dropped last week on consoles and Xbox Game Pass. Does it make Marc excited to play it? How much Russian propaganda is in the game? And is the government of Ukraine correct in wanting to take it down?
The guys also go through the important stuff from the Pokemon Presents broadcast and the highlights of the most recent Sony State of Play. Plus, more Assassin's Creed games are in development, Phil Spencer says the future of Xbox doesn't hinge solely on the Activision-Blizzard deal, console warriors getting clowned by the developers of Baldurs Gate 3, and much more!
* Apologies for the banging sound throughout the episode, there was repair work going on in the apartment below Marc. *

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
