After the last couple of episodes being loaded with all these games being played left and right and up and down, we're calming things down a bit this week. We're slowing our roll and taking a more measured approach to these fine delicacies we call the 2017 game lineup. Don't get us wrong, we did play some stuff, most of it Dissidia-related. But there was a whole lot of news to talk about this week too, so we went hard in the paint with that. From rumors of Microsoft buying EA to 2018's most anticipated title getting hit with a delay, we've got a loaded episode full of hot takes and cold calculations.

The main gaming event this episode is mobile gaming! What? Yep! Both Stevo and Josh played some mobile games and they raved about them and are recommending them to everyone. Should we heed their advice? Have a listen and let them sell you on Dissidia: Final Fantasy Opera Omnia and Hidden Agenda! Elliot has begun to die profusely in Demon's Souls, so maybe we'll just leave him in the corner there until he's done swearing at the walls.

We also talk a bit about the Dissidia: Final Fantasy NT open beta that recently ended. Elliot spent some time with it when he wasn't being repeatedly killed in Boletaria. He enjoyed it, but it's hard not to enjoy whatever you play after enduring hours of ruthless punishment. So maybe take it with a grain of salt. Or maybe hear what he as to say and decide for yourself!

On the next episode we'll all be done with Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, so get ready for a full discussion on that. We'll also be rolling our next Backlog Roulette game! See you in two weeks!
