It’s the NINTH BIRTHDAY of SML and we bring in a bunch of friends to celebrate the occasion including a special norg intro!
The show kicks off with Jacob Garner and Aki both on hand to welcome PartyCast members Chris Taylor and Pernell Vaughan to the even numbered episode to talk about how SML has been around for nine years and what that means to us. Just kidding, we go off topic and don’t even stick to our tangents! Fun fact: Pernell asked me a question and then went on a tangent during my answer without having answered!
We also cover the news of the week including the massive Bungie acquisition by Sony and the news that Sony intends to keep the studio multiplatform and independent. Plus the latest Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Now additions, New York Times buying Wordle, Team17’s ill advised and brief journey into NFT terriroty, MLB The Show hitting the Switch and Game Pass, and the Switch becoming the fastest console to hit 100M in sales! Plus reviews!
