Welcome to Kitaku's split screen, the only podcast inspired by the work of legendary composer Duke Ellington.

It's October 5th, 2017, and we've got a game-packed show for you this week.

First, Jason and I will talk about a bunch of games,

including Golf Story, Hobb, Dangan Rompa 3, Cuphead, and Divinity Original Sin 2. Then we'll hit the news of the week, followed by some listener questions, including The Future of the Switch,

the Daily Life of a Kataku writer, Destiny 2 for a Lone Wolf gamer, games that captured

a real- world city well.

Good games to play on date night.

And what it's like to dislike a game, everyone told you, was good.

It's going to be a lot of fun.

We've got a lot to talk about, so stick around.

Welcome back to Kotaku Split Screen screen. It is October. Fall is officially underway. We are drowning in video games. There's oh so much to talk about. My name is Kirk Hamilton. I am editor at large for kataku. And I am joined by my co-host, Mr. Jason Shrier, news editor at Kataku.

Hello, Jason.

Happy, happy, happy 22 days left until Super Mario Odyssey.

I know, man. We are drowning in video games, and that is the one that I can, the only one I can think about.

Yeah, it's like drowning at the bottom of a dam and you're watching the dam get ready to break

and just like, you're like the dam get ready to break and just like you're like I'm already

drowning man does this damn really need to burst on top of me that seems and the the flood that's

coming out is just Mario it's just Mario jumping out and throwing his hat at you with his nipples

on full display in his swimsuit um so before we get into the show I just have to say that uh for the four weeks, I've been doing a feature called How Badly Will the Jets Lose Every Week?

And last week, I said the Jets would lose to the Jaguars by 12, and they won.

And now the Jets are two and two, and I do not seem to be able to control the fate of the jets.

And they are, I'm trying to have them.
