Welcome to Kitaku Split Screen, the only podcast that wasn't invited to Trump's symposium on video game violence.

It's March 8th, 2018, and we've got oh so much to talk about today.

First, we discussed Donald Trump's smokescreen spectacular of an industry roundtable

discussing gaming supposed effects on real-world violence.

Then we talk about the ESRB's decision to add in-game purchase notifications to game labels,

as well as the way the rumor mill fired up after a Blizzard tweet appeared to hint at Diablo 3 on Switch.

We close out by talking about some of the games we've been playing,

including Dishonor, Death of the Outsider,

Batman, Arkham Knight, Destiny 2, and Ni No Kuni 2.

Stick around for the show.

Don't let the man get you down.

And welcome back for another episode.

My name is Kirk Hamilton.

I am the editor at large for kataku.com.

And I am joined from snowy, blizzardy, New York by Kotaku News Editor Jason Schreier.

Hello, Jason.

Hello, Kirk.

I was going to say it's the com before the storm for Kotaku splita-Split screen, but actually it's a storm right here.

It's the storm before the storm.

I feel like that seems like that expression should probably catch on.

Yes, it's the stormy Daniels before the storm.

Oh, man, here we go.
