    The Future of Gaming

    With the next generation of gaming consoles upon us, we felt like it was a good week to dive into all things gaming. We are going to be discussing the release of Sony's PS5 and Microsoft's Xbox Series X. We discuss what comes packaged into each of the consoles and we talk the good, the bad and the unknown about each console. We also delve into Nvidia's release of the new 30 series of GPU's and the suspicious timing of it all and then we conclude the episode with the huge news of Microsoft's purchase of ZeniMax.  Join us for what was a fun and eye-opening conversation.

What qualities do the geeks think make a remake "good" vs "bad"; what are some examples of remakes in movies? In Television? and in gaming? We conclude our episode by giving each of our personal Top 5 remakes. Does your favorite make our list or did we forget some great remakes?
