We discuss the works, like the finished Assassin’s Creed Origins, What Remains of Edith Finch, Cuphead, that Animal Crossing mobile game, and Super Mario Odyssey! Super Mario Odyssey spoilers at exactly 1:02:30 - 1:10:48 In news there aren’t huge stories we want to get into, except Valkyria Chronicles 4 and the good vibes from that!

Breakdown: Apologies for the late show! We ran into technical issues and ended up having to restore from our back up, thus the lesser audio quality. Apologies for that! We have returning guest Geoff Chorney, formerly of now-discontinued podcast Interactive Distractions! An old friend with great perspective. We talk about a TON of video games, starting with the Xbox One X, which Geoff and Alex both have. We dive into Shadow of War, and AC Origins, with other peaks into Destiny 2 on PC, and many more. We actually spend so much time on games that that is really the show, with a big conversation about Geoff’s perspective on things like the Xbox One exclusivity state. That’s the show, we call it, we end it, and that’s that!   Our site and base of operations: IrrationalPassions.com.
