TGI 467 – Glass Eye Doorknobs
Ryan attempts to trick Jocelyn into bringing more TV content on to the show, but it doesn’t fly, so he settles for books.

We offer our thoughts on whether Resident Evil Village is in our future, thanks to Ryan’s time with the demo. Finally, we close out What We’re Playing by closing the book on our return to Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (for now). In the news, Microsoft commits to PC gaming with a few cool announcements, Mass Effect Legendary Edition is confirmed to have a large Day One patch, Sony invests in Discord for future partnerships with PlayStation, and a few high level details from the ongoing Epic vs Apple trial (like Sony’s insistence on being paid for cross-play and Metroid possibly coming to Fortnite).
