I'm You know, Hello, everyone, welcome to the show.

It's Jeff Gerstman here with you on the Jeff Gersman show this week,

where we're going to talk about video games, the latest of them, the things that are happening in and around them,

and the people that make them, and their choices that they make on social media.

I don't know.

Man.

Woo!

Here we are to talk about video games.

It is September 16th, 2025.

This is the first time we have convened for this program since the release of Borderlands 4. I've got a full review of that up. If you want to see it, it's, you know, if you, if you want to read that review, it's on Patreon. Patreon.com slash Jeff Gerswin. You get an ad-free version of this show. The review is up there for

free. You can just go, you can just go check it out. And so on and so forth. So bonus podcast every

week, all it stuff. Do go check that out. Hello. There's also a video, you know, when the,

when the game came out.

Borderlands 4 has been an interesting launch and the days following.

It was out on the morning of September 11th here in the States, at least on PC.

And then console players had to wait until midnight because for whatever reason,

people still either can't or don't want to get that straight and launch it for everybody at the same time. I don't know. That stuff's dumb. Like that stuff should be coming out.

Sometimes games have online servers that they don't want to get overwhelmed by a worldwide launch.

Like I get it on that front.

Borderlands is not one of those games.

But my view is that we should just be doing worldwide releases and like, you know, we should be playing games at 4 a.m.

Or whenever, you know, people shouldn't have to go set
