Well, it's a weekly newsletter. We get more than once a week, but we get indie game recommendations that I kind of curate, send out, send out the demo, so you can give it a try. It has been so busy. There are so many games. Discoverability is obviously such a huge problem, and so there have been so many fantastic things to wade through. I am very excited for this week, because it could be something in the kinetic games space that I can't stop thinking about.
and I say that with like I'm trying not to hint at what it is honestly you probably wouldn't even guess I think it's something really special and I had such a good chat with developers this morning so that's coming out on Friday I've also got a review of something coming out on Thursday like a short review type thing because I also have like different pieces of content that go out so things like you you gotta play which is sort of my mini review thing
for games that are already out, and I'm trialing something new next week, so please be excited. But no, it's going great. It's so busy. The emails. The thing about emails is once you reply, people reply back.
That's tough. And never stop. That's tough. It's like getting friends and everything. It's like, ugh, now you have to talk to them and everything. It's like you want it, but you don't want it. You know what I mean? No, but also it's great. And like the community and the Discord is wonderful. So if you are a paid subscriber, you can get in there and they're all just like sharing game recommendations, having a good time, set up some VC channels. I am such a boomer with Discord. I have no idea how it works, man. What the hell is a boost? All the...
Yeah, coming out of the UK. Yeah, Supermassive. Man, I didn't realize, I mean, did you play Directive 80, 20? No, I didn't. Have you? I liked the look of the original. I was there at Gamescom a couple years ago when they revealed it, very much like the thing. But I don't, yeah, I mean, their games just haven't been hitting, sadly, and like...
Yeah, and as well, they're not doing Until Dawn 2. No, no, that is Fire Sprite. So Fire Sprite, they're doing... They did the Alloy VR game. Alloy Drink Sprite is the way that we remember it. Kind of funny. I get Fire Sprite mixed up with Fire Shine. Fire Shine, the publisher?
You're trying to think of... No, I'm just like, you know, Dead Space, Event Horizon, Alien. Like, I look. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I... Yeah, it's just a shame. And yeah, I think the thing about this is, like, it's in the UK, so you can't just lay people off. You have to go through a consultancy period. Like, this redundancy period, I think, in some cases, can take, like, a month. And so it's also the mental strain for the people who are still, like, who are working there, who are like, well, I just have to sit and wait for a month to see if I still have...
do you have any insights to that i have no idea how that works personally i have never gone through it yeah um i can only say you know stories from other people yeah so yeah there's just a lot of waiting around and kind of figuring out what it's gonna like it's almost like a foregone conclusion almost like you know what's gonna happen and then you're just waiting for it i don't know because i think sometimes they're like i could be placing consultancy then you find out that you're safe um so yeah there's uh
Yeah, that's awful. And it's sort of like, you know, the burden that folks at Xbox are still under where it's like, hey, we had those almost 2,000 layoffs and then we're going to have almost 2,000 more. And you're just going to have to wait. Yeah, and then we talked about that yesterday with Blizzard, their internal memo that was leaked yesterday.
That's also, I mean, we haven't heard about what's happening with Arkane yet either. I mean, French worker protection laws are even stricter than the UK. Yeah. So, yeah, I don't know. It seems like America should have some of those. Maybe we should figure out something. Yeah. Sorry to the folks at Supermassive. Absolutely.
Yeah. I mean, you know what? I actually don't mind it. I actually prefer the yellow one to the white one. Yeah, I'm not mad at it. It just... It wouldn't go in the color scheme in my room. Actually, the white one doesn't even go. I need to... Do you have a color scheme going on with the consoles? No, just my house. Oh, okay. What's your color? Do you have a... So, black...
Blush pink, like ashy blues, some greens, I've got a green couch, and then a lot of warm wood tones. Oh, okay, okay. And then in my bedroom, it's literally like that dark blue. Oh. All like floor to ceiling. And then my bathroom is like a really nice sage green.
Man, I just wish the PlayStation 5 was a box. Just a normal box. The thing is, aesthetically, I don't mind it. It's just the fact that the stand doesn't stick. And so if I'm moving it to plug in the... I have a spare drive at the back. Yeah.
Lucy, what do you think about this? And will you be buying this 40th edition? You're not the biggest Zelda person in the world. I'm very excited for Fire Emblem. Fire Emblem is going to be my jam. You will catch me over there. But I don't really go for a special edition console.
Yeah, I don't think I've ever had a special edition console. Unless it was like, I think Leanza has one, but that was just like the perfect timing of like, oh, she wanted it. But like, I'm buying my consoles mostly at launch or around launch. So it's like, I'm not double dipping you. No, I got the, the only one that I have is because I, oh, I have two. Oh. Okay. I didn't buy these. Lucy's a liar, everybody. One of them was from GameSpot. Like, we obviously all had consoles to capture and do stuff at work.
I had the PS4 Spider-Man one. The red one. It's nice. I still have that. Also, I am lying because I did steal the Gears of War Xbox One from the kind of funny. So I do have that at the house. That's a must have. My Xbox One. Yeah, that's the boy. Ooh, that's hot. That's the one. That's hot. It's real nice. Yeah, I think that was Greg's for a while. Greg had one of those. God, that's hot. Well, my other one comes from Greg. Oh. It's the Taco Bell Xbox One X.
I was like, who works here? Dan Reichert? Yeah. But no, it's great. And so I used to use that one when I was streaming as like my... To play discs on. Remember those? Remember those? I know. Because it was like the only... I was streaming Metal Gear Solid 2 at the time. And I was like, find it on a disc. Any hype for either of these games? Wolverine and... I'm excited for Wolverine. I really enjoyed Insomniac Spider-Man games and Miles Morales games. I...
Yeah, I mean, Zelda, I will see what they... What's your history with Zelda? I don't have one. I'm just not... I like playing them. I'm just never really super hyped about it. That doesn't make for exciting viewing. I'm sorry. But no, in terms of... Yeah, Wolverine is definitely on my list. When is it out? Is it out in September? Ooh, let me check. I'm pretty sure it's out in September. Everything's all together for me. Marvel's Wolverine is coming out September 15th, 2026.
If I'm done with Onimusha and Blood of Dawnwalker by then. Because that's the thing. It's like, if you're talking about, if I'm ranking September games. Let's do it. You've got what? For me, you've got Control. No, this is the definitive ranking, by the way. This is not for Lucy. This is the definitive ranking, and everyone can get mad at you on the internet. Okay. No, this is your personal ranking. Yeah, we've got Control, Fire Emblem. Okay. Okay.
Silent Hill, Onimusha, Blood of Dawnwalker, Wolverine. Those are the six games. In that order? Those are the six AAAs that I want to play. Oh. Control. Number one. Dawnwalker. No, Dawnwalker 2. Silent Hill. Oh. Fire Emblem. Onimusha. Wolverine. Fire Emblem was that low, though. You were so hyped about Fire Emblem. I was very hyped about it.
