Episode #5: Nintendo Offline, Squid Game Breakdown, Cowboy Bebop Live Action Show, & Giveaway Winners!

Status Effect

We hit the ground running this week, taking on listener questions regarding Nintendo Online!
Flaws like Lag Inputs, no button Mapping, save state failures, & more, have opened the door to some fierce backlash from gamers all over. Alfonso and Joe discuss the fallout, and the disastrous first week launch.
Is money the root of all evil? It definitely was the source of some serious bad behavior, on the Smash hit Squid Game! We are going in-depth with spoilers, emotions, and the impact the show has left on everyone who watched it! From never looking at Marbles the same way, to our duo trying to decide what childhood game would they play to try and stay alive, we are going all in until the majority votes to quit!
WARNING: If you wish to avoid spoilers for Squid Game, please skip to 45:14! :P
Finally, One of the greatest Anime's of all time, is getting a major live action reboot, in Cowboy Bebop! With Netflix producing the show, We discuss our hopes for the series, and the challenges it will face. From Fan Expectations, to de-sexualization for character growth, everything is on the table!
So grab your Gganbu's, get all your stuff together..3..2..1..What's Your Status?!
