It’s a packed episode with news, reviews, and a Zen Studios pinball chat, so let’s get this show going!
The show kicks off with Grant Henry on hand to welcome Ákos “GHZ” Szabó of Zen Studios to the show to chat all about Pinball FX as well as the new tables and mechanics that just hit the game! We cover the newly added XP system in the game, Ákos and his journey through the ranks of Zen Studios, the perils of licensing and what dream IPs we’d love to see, and tons more!
After a quick break, it’s news of the week with Aki, Bri Galgano, and a late Jacob Garner (as usual). We cover the latest info on Square Enix sales and expectations, the next Call of Duty, Nintendo’s latest acquisition from Embracer, IGN purchasing the Gamer Network, Multiversus, Kingdom Hearts, and tons more. Not to mention the longest feud in gaming is finally over as Atari purchased Intellivision! Plus reviews featuring a Horror Acolyte email read by the voice of SML, George “norg” Nowik!
