A new Kinda Funny Gamescast is up right now and it’s our predictions for how we see this Activision-Blizzard acquisition going. It’s a free-form conversation with me, Tim, Greg, and Andy. A lot of debate and back and forth on whether this is all a good or bad thing. Check that out now.
In case you missed it: PS I Love You XOXO is up and it’s our Re-Review of Horizon Zero Dawn. We talk about what it’s been like revisiting the game and our hopes for Horizon Forbidden West. That is up right now on Youtube and podcast services around the globe.
And lastly! Help us out by filling out the RT Podcast survey about all the Kinda Funny Podcasts -- it only says "Kinda Funny Podcast" but they mean all of our podcasts. It takes just a few minutes and helps our network understand what you like about us! kindafunny.com/podcastsurvey
