    The Closing Tag, Ep. 25: So Where've You Been, Raul?

    The Closing Tag, Ep. 25: So Where've You Been, Raul?

    Where has Raul been this whole time? Well allow him to explain. Then listen to him rant (more) about Activision Blizzard. Then hear his thoughts on Sony buying Bungie, Netflix Marvel shows possibly becoming part of the MCU?, computer programs claiming to remove hash rate caps on GPUs but instead infecting computers with viruses, Microsoft Game Pass coming to Steam? (don't count on it anytime soon), Meta taking a page from Star Trek's playbook, the Joe Rogan/Spotify controversy being all ado about nothing, Rudy Gobert/Draymond Green and mental health, the Washington Commanders?, the NFL quarterback landscape changing forever (again) (also a note, I realize some of the content in this episode is a bit outdated and I apologize, I'll have thoughts about the updates to this one in the next episode), and All Elite Wrestling buys out Ring of Honor?

    The Closing Tag, Ep. 24: The Rise and Glorious Fall of Activision Blizzard

    The Closing Tag, Ep. 24: The Rise and Glorious Fall of Activision Blizzard

    Microsoft buys Activision Blizzard out and Raul is happy to see a modicum of justice finally coming to the plagued video game studio. He is also talking the latest on Amazon's labor woes, Disney+ vs Netflix vs HBO Max battle royale, the EU winning a court battle against Google, tech giants coming together to save the Earth (?), electric bike manufacturers seeing a major uptick in funding, Uber in hot legal water (and rightfully so), Facebook giving away free internet possibly backfiring, an ode to Joe Ingles, why Lakers fans shouldn't be so quick to blame Frank Vogel for their problems, five tools every developer should have in their toolkit, and more!

    The Closing Tag, Ep. 23: IT'S ALIVE! A LIVE (website)!!

    To celebrate the launch of the new Closing Tag website, Raul hits on Mark Zuckerberg getting in trouble with the feds (what else is new?), gift card scammers changing their game up, open transparency with big companies, COVID kicking America's backside again, the Ryan Smith ownership group from the Utah Jazz buying ownership stock in Real Salt Lake, the NFL playoffs kicking into high gear, and setting SMART goals. Oh and we launch a website right on the live stream.
