We're back after a long break - of which I share some updates on where things are going with the show.  But don't worry - we're still committed here to the podcast and we hope you are too!

For this show itself, video game violence is once again a topic of controversy for the U.S. government to bring up during the latest tragic mass shootings.  It's a topic that never dies for as long as video games have existed, but I pose the question to politicians as to what they feel video games really do to us.

Then we get the late-breaking news of Sony buying Insomniac Games out of the way as Sony prepares its already-bolstered lists of internal studios to wage war on Microsoft's recent first party studio transactions going into the next console generation.

And finally - I've finished Red Dead Redemption 2 and present to you a tale of two games with this latest Rockstar presentation.  In one sense, Rockstar achieved a stellar story and experience that shows the slow erosion of Dutch Van Derlinde's gang.  But at the same time, it does something strangely different with its gameplay that to me feels it takes away from the experience.  You'll just have to listen and find out more why I feel this way.
