Show Notes Chapter Markers

Gamescom 2022 is upon us, and Geoff Keighley's Opening Night Live kicked things off with a ton of new announcements for games including Dune: Awakening, Lies of P, Sonic Frontiers, and more. We go over both the highlights and the lowlights of the evening.

We'll also be discussing how Xbox boss Phil Spencer believes there will be fewer console exclusives in the future, how Embracer is set to acquire the Lord of the Rings IP, and the pair of obscure Sega games now being adapted into movies.

Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're looking at the history of VHS-based video game consoles.
