    #33: The Gaming Industry Is Boring Right Now (And Why Live Service Games Are Failing) + Our Podcast Returns After Years Away!

    The go to for weekly updates and opinions on all things gaming, books, comics, movies and shows. Provocative and entertaining, we leave our audience walking away with good laughs, insightful knowledge and the joy of nostalgic musing.  00:00 — Podcast returns after years away  02:50 — Rapid Fire: life sentence vs guilty freedom  09:20 — Rapid Fire: video game mechanics in real life  18:27 — Life updates; why have we been gone?!  30:13 — Why gaming feels boring right now. And why are new live service games failing?  40:35 — AITA (am I the a*****e?) - A.I. in a D&D Campaign... fair or foul?  50:00 — Apple TV+ discussion (Severance, Pluribus, Shrinking and more!)  66:40 — Track of the week is back!  After taking a long break, we’re finally back. In Episode 33 we catch up on everything that’s happened during the hiatus... new homes, weddings, new adventures, birding?, life changes, and what pulled us back behind the microphones. Then we dive into what’s happening in gaming right now and ask a question many players are feeling: Why does gaming feel boring lately? We break down why live service games are struggling, why so many releases feel repetitive and what the industry might need to rediscover the magic that made gaming exciting in the first place. We also talk about what we’ve been watching lately which is mostly how Apple TV+ keeps quietly dominating with shows like Severance, Pluribus and Shrinking. And of course, we kick things off with some rapid-fire philosophical questions: • Would you rather serve life in prison for a crime you didn’t commit, or live freely after committing a terrible one?  • If you could bring one video game mechanic into real life, what would it be? Episode 33 marks a new chapter for the show and we’re excited to be back.
