Episode 101 - Remembering E3
The Electronics Entertainment Expo was finally taken off life support earlier this week, its epitaph being a brief statement reading, “After more than two decades of E3, each one bigger than the last, the time has come to say goodbye. Thanks for the memories.” It was a long time coming. Although no one who has been paying any attention can say they're surprised by this news, for gamers of the '90s and '00s, it still hits hard. We discuss the death of E3, what could have been, and reminisce about our favorite E3 moments.
We'll also be talking about how developer Fntastic is closing its doors just four days after the ugly launch of The Day Before on Steam, how Twitch now allows ‘artistic depictions of nudity’ in update to sexual content policy, and how Valve is asking Steam Deck owners to not to smell the handheld's vent fumes.
Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're looking at the Atari 2700.
