Do not underestimate the power of playstay playstay.

Beyond.

Beyond.

Hey everybody, welcome to Beyond episode 514. My name is Marty. I'm joined by Alana and Andrew.

Last week we got to go in a nice little date and this week we were just sitting in between us.

Yeah I'm sorry for breaking it up.

Yeah it's fine.

It was an auto from Steve. He was like please sit between.

Please, yeah.

Please destroy the sexual tension between Andrew and Marty.

We have a good show for you guys today. We play a ton of Shadow of War.

So we're going to finally talk about that.

We all got to dive a little bit into the Battlefront 2 beta, I believe.

Alana recently played a game called Echo which just came out for PSN which seems really cool.

We're also going to talk about the fact that in 2017 micro transactions and loot boxes have become sort of a topic

to sure that we're going to unpack a little bit.

And then finally we want to talk about Bethesda's Wolfenstein 2 marketing and then sort of a bigger topic about sort of games being

political. I think it's pretty cool.

I like it. It sounded like you said Michael transactions.

Yeah, Michael transaction. Yeah.

Yeah, exactly transactions. That was the Dark Souls DLC.

You buy a gift for your friend Michael. Yeah.
