For decades, governments and media have made video games a scapegoat for the ills of modern society, and violence in games is blamed for all kinds of real-life violence. But what does the science say? You may be surprised to learn that violence in video games isn't the problem at all, and that rage quitting is actually...healthy!
We also discuss the Intellivision Amico's new official unboxing video, how the Witcher 4 director is promising there will be no crunch "on my watch," and the PS5 Pro rumors claiming a possible 2023 launch and doubled performance.
Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're looking at the history of Earthbound 64.
