id anybody else catch that video game documentary on Netflix, High Score? We personally forgot to finish it with all of the EXCITEMENT that was coming out of Gamescom 2020! Oh well, I guess we’ll have to talk about the weird omission of Dragon Quest in the RPG episode some other time…

Anyway, with pandemic still being a major threat, this year’s iconic trade show took a remote approach, featuring a showcase that brief lineup of upcoming next generation games appearing on next generation hardware that we STILL don’t know the release dates, or more importantly, the retail cost for.

These games include Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War, Marvel’s Avengers, Proto Corgi, The next Dragon Age, Fall Guys Season 2 and more. We also talk about the new PlayStation ODE, the X-Station, the latest wave of games announced for the Sega Astro City Mini, GameTap, the 25^th anniversary of the Sega Saturn, Bon Appétit, 8K Display technology, Doritos Flamin’ Hot Limón Chips, the confusion of Wii U marketing along with a whole mess of other topics.

With that being said, enjoy the show, and wear a fucking mask when you go outside…Thanks!

PPR Presents Play Play: Mass Effect: Andromeda

he Mass Effect Trilogy is one of the most beloved properties to have ever graced the last decade of gaming—regardless of how you may feel about the third entry of the series.

It isn’t too surprising that we would be treated to a new generation of the series, taking place in an entirely new galaxy, and led by a brand new hero named Ryder. Mass Effect: Andromeda is an exciting opportunity for the franchise to pick back up again after the debacle of the Mass Effect 3, but unfortunately, it’s an opportunity that BioWare really fumbles up on.

George and Andrew take to the helm to address some of the concerns we have the sequel, and whether or not it’s worth checking out in this new Play Play of Mass Effect: Andromeda.

This episode begins with a very real and extremely awkward discussion about European porn stars and voyeurism. So, there's that I suppose.

Our cast returns from the short hiatus and breaks down the upcoming Wii U, as well as the departure of our favorite Doctors from BioWare.
