Summary

Special guest Ben Russell joins us this week, as we thought it might be a bit of a slow week in the world of video games so why not have a fun little chat? Then one of the biggest media company acquisitions in history happened and so now the episode is mostly about that. But also plenty more! We talk some Farming Simulator, some Halo, and a whole lot more. The fun little chat? Very much still fun. I guess the real giant entertainment industry purchase news was the friends we had as guests on the podcast along the way.
