Episode 509: How To Fix The Video Games Industry
59:10|Let's be honest, the gaming industry is in a pretty rotten place. In the last few months alone we've seen layoffs, cancellations, and price hikes - just to name a few.

01:31:59|You know him from the movies, theme parks, and kart racing games and now, after all these years, he's finally in his own video game: DONKEY KONG BANANZA is here and we've spent a tonne of time ripping, smashing and pummelling our way through this glorious 3D platformer that begs the question: what if apes real life?

Episode 506: Anger Foot, Xbox Cancellations
01:10:44|It's another rough week of news over at Microsoft with the announcement that a bunch of games have been cancelled and more people laid off. What does this mean for the future of the platform and more broadly - how do you navigate being a fan of an art form that is governed purely by corporate interests and rife with attitudes that are so removed from fun and escapism? As an antidote to all of this harshness, we've been playing and loving the great new (for PS5) indie game Anger Foot! Get an exclusive 15% discount on Saily data plans! Use code FILTHY at checkout.

Episode 505: Is XBox Hardware Dead? AI In Games, Death Stranding 2 & Mario Kart World Further Thoughts
01:38:57|The popular survival game The Alters has been found to have been using Generative AI. Is this a big deal? What does the spread of AI mean for the future of game development? And what does the mass layoffs at Xbox mean for the future of hardware development? Big questions that we do our best to wildly speculate on! Meanwhile, we're still sinking tonnes of hours into Death Stranding 2: On The Beach and Mario Kart World and we've got further thoughts on both of those games after our initial day one impressions over the last couple of weeks!
Episode 504: Death Stranding 2: On The Beach
01:15:51|It’s time for another big episode of one of the best comedy and video games podcasts available on the chiral network.DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH is finally here and The Great Man has done it again. We’ve played roughly the first half-a-dozen or so hours of the new blockbuster from Hideo Kojima so we’re wrapping up our initial thoughts on the improved pacing of the game, the stories, the characters and notable Australian figures we’re hoping make an appearance!
Episode 503: Donkey Kong Bananza Direct, Hideo Kojima Live
01:25:56|Tommy's come down with what seems like a common cold but may in fact be DONKEY KONG FEVER because we watched the Donkey Kong Bananza Direct overnight and we're still reeling from some of the new revelations. Pauline! Ostrich Bananza! DK Artist Mode! A confusing Kong family timeline! We also discuss our trip to Sydney to see two of The Great Men: Hideo Kojima in conversation with Dr. George Miller, as well as the demo for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 & 4, and the Switch 2 port of Cyberpunk 2077!Donate to Lifeline and support Ben's push-up challenge here: https://www.thepushupchallenge.com.au/fundraisers/benvernel/the-push-up-challenge
