Oh, and there is some WILD stuff on the Steam PC ga...
Our sidequest this week led us to the OTHER Game Awards (the Geoff Keighley version) where we learned that Troy Baker can do a hell of a Harrison Ford impression. We also headed out to space to talk about Last of Us developer Naughty Dog's new game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and to court where Epic was ordered to pay a hefty sum to Fortnite players for "dark patterns" related to microtransactions. Oh, and Snoop Dogg is ma...

In this sidequest, we're exploring horrifying AI art, RDJ as Tony Stark as Dr. Doom (no that's not a typo), skill-based matchmaking, and the sad news that Game Informer has closed after 33 wonderful years. We also explored the topic of diversity, equity, and inclusivity in video games. Is "wokeness" ruining video games? Why do some developers seem so obsessed with making sure their games include diverse representation? Is there an ...
Welcome to Sidequest. Josh is back, along with a fresh new face named Rob (actually his whole body is named Rob, but you get the idea) to talk about the world through the lens of video games. Not really a gaming news show and not completely a video game show, you just have to listen to get it, so listen and you'll get it!

E3 2021 was... something that happened. As arguably disappointing as it may have been, we talk about the exciting things that DID happen, we discuss why anyone would pay for a multiplayer-only game at this point, and who would win in a fight between Master Chief and Captain Price?
