Summary
Special guest Trone L. Dowd from the Vice News team joins the Waypoint crew today to talk about balancing news writing with games writing, wrestling, and the games he’s been playing! As of this recording Cado is still out, which means the crew is gonna take a chance to totally blow up their opinion of a game (MultiVersus) without letting them defend themselves! But that’s ok, because they have control of the podcast description and can say that maybe they had come off a little bit strong in their original assessment but hey, at least Ren admits that Cado’s read of the floaty nature of the game is sound! (Thanks Ren!). Back in the non-Cado land, Trone talks about Diablo Immortal’s monetization in relation to the industry’s ability to self regulate, Ren checks in with Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and Patrick is back to his Neon White grind.
Discussed: MultiVersus 2:07, Bear and Breakfast 23:47, Diablo Immortal 40:32, Neon White 1:01:32, Rob’s New Racing Game Purchase 1:05:25, WWE 2K22 1:11:29, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 1:23:24, Moderating Call of Duty 1:31:27, The Question Bucket 1:40:51, Outro and Announcements 2:03:17

| 0:27.3 | Hello, we're not a price. And we also welcome on a visit from the news team, |
| 0:33.4 | Troned out. Hey, let's go and I guess. Not much good to have you man. So, Tron's been helping us |
| 0:40.3 | out with some news blogs and we've needed to get them on the show for a minute but I can tell you, |
| 0:45.6 | you seem so busy over on the news team that you are one of the hardest bookings. We've had to do. |
| 0:52.7 | They are like, sorry, Troned's mission critical. Place doesn't function about him. |
| 0:58.5 | Yeah, yeah, it's trying to balance both. It's been a little tougher than expected but I'm happy that |
| 1:04.8 | I found this sweet balance. It's really cool to be able to write about games in the side while I'm |
| 1:08.8 | also writing about, you know, whatever Trump is doing, which is what I did this morning. |
| 1:14.3 | The two balances, the two things, whatever Trump is doing and then I like this video game. |
| 1:23.4 | Yep. |

| 1:31.9 | We finally got the marching orders. God, I hope I'm not speaking out of turn here. |

| 1:41.7 | And so the crypto, the crypto beat having boomed has like crypto itself, I guess, |
| 1:47.2 | entered its bust phase. It's all straight now. Just cats. You were just just right about cats |
| 1:51.7 | the next two weeks. That's why I have a cat store going up tomorrow. Well, I guess today when |
| 1:55.4 | this goes live, I'm just fulfilling, I'm just SEO now. So Troned Ren, I know that both of you |
| 2:04.8 | have been playing multiversus. And I think we touched on that a little bit as it launched. |
| 2:11.6 | But yeah, I was not here. So I can talk to you. He was a kind of. |
| 2:15.9 | This is all of Anna. Yes, but it's more like I don't know. Kind of played an early version. |
