Summary

In early September, prominent CRPG Baldur's Gate III migrates from PC to PlayStation 5, and it sounds like it may just be what the doctor ordered. A deep role-playing experience chock-full of choice and consequence -- and layered with a thick patina of polish -- could potentially sell millions of copies on PS5. Will the critically acclaimed, purportedly amazing experience successfully catapult from computer to console? And should we expect it to stem the tide until Spider-Man 2 arrives? Other items this week include fresh release dates for Assassin's Creed: Mirage and Alan Wake II, the reveal of new TMNT and South Park games, a horrible-looking Walking Dead title arriving this fall, and an inopportune quote from Square Enix executive producer Yoshi-P that unintentionally fed eager fanboys. Listener inquiries round things out, per usual. Why do people encumber themselves with a backlog? How do we navigate our personal relationships when it comes to making the time necessary to play games? Is Sony's silence starting to become conspicuous, and even worrying? Will Colin strike back on Dustin's bad take-calling? Get 50% off plus free shipping at https://www.hellofresh.com/50sacred Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

1:12.2	number 268. My name is Colin Moriarty. I'm joined as always by my son Chris Reagan. Chris,
1:17.2	good day to you, my friend. How are you today? I'm well. I'm well. I've actually had some time
1:21.5	to play some games, which is nice, because I feel like I feel like the last couple, the last
1:28.3	week or two have been so busy. We've just been recording so much and just doing a lot of video
1:34.6	stuff. So it's nice to actually have a slight break. What have you been doing? Why
1:39.8	talk to me more about it? Oh my god. There are certain things I don't want to get into
1:44.4	specifically, but there are some times where sponsors will be like, yeah, here's what you should
1:50.2	do exactly. They'll give you an exact rubric on what to do and what to write on screen for
1:59.3	certain things. Then you do it and then they're like, actually, that was a mistake. Can you undo

2:13.2	re-edit because it involves having to re-film a bunch of stuff. So it's just that nonsense.
