Filthy Casuals with Tommy Dassalo and Ben Vernel
Episode 460: Gamescom 2024 Reveals, Still Wakes the Deep
•
Games? In Europe? Crazier things have happened! In fact, many crazier things, including us recording a podcast about the games being shown at Gamescom specifically. Video games were around for a long time in Europe prior to the advent of the internet, so my reasoning is that the existence of podcasts, one of the leading formats in this new era of digital media, is in fact crazier than the existence of games in Europe. I hope you can understand how I am seeing things. We talk crazy games like Civilization VII, Monster Hunter Wilds, Borderlands 4 and Mafia: The Old Country, as well as many more. Please enjoy this crazy event.
