I should just have you whistling the theme song instead of the actual music.

I think that's going to be our 2018 music that people would like.

I think that would work, right?

Sure.

Welcome back to Kataku Split Screen, the only video game podcast to Cheez the Taurus Demon off a bridge.

It's May 31st, 2018, and we've got some questions and answers to share with you today.

First, Jason and I talk about the big announcements this week, with a new Fallout game

and several new Pokemon games announced within the same 24

hours, as well as Valve's decision to remove a school shooting game from Steam.

Then we answer some listener questions discussing how to get the most out of E3, whether E3

is still relevant, the big 2018 game we're both still a little skeptical about, the unique

challenges of video game narrative, and how reviews work in the era of service games.

Take me home,

Country Roads, to a podcast where we all belong. Here we go.

Hello, you ravenous video game news devourers of the world. Welcome back to Kataku split screen. We're so glad that you're here. My name is Kirk Hamilton. I am the editor at large for kataku.com joined as ever by Kotaku News editor Jason Schreier. Hello, Jason. Hello, Kirk. It is an exciting week. We have fallout news. We have Pokemon news. It feels like

E3 has already started. Give it to me. Give it me the news. E3 starts like a week earlier every year.

I think that eventually E3 will just be beginning in March. Like GDC, we'll just have to stop going

to GDC because there will be so much E3 news to cover.

It's sort of how it feels to me.

It does.

It does.

The show itself actually starts earlier and earlier because E.A. has now moved to Saturday for their best conference.
