    A New Xbox is an Xbox

    0:00:12 Intro 0:00:40 News - Mindseye Release 0:12:27 News - A New Xbox is an Xbox 0:15:52 News - Nintendo Hates Gays 0:21:39 Boomers Play Minecraft 0:42:45 Vampire Survivors 0:50:04 Spoilers Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 1:11:00 Best Console of PS3 S60 and Wii Episode 174 of The Game Under Podcast sees Tom Towers and Phil Fogg gingerly pry open the scuffed jewel case of gaming's present and past. From the unceremonious drop of Mindseye, a title that dares you to remember it post-credits, to the cyclical absurdity of "a new Xbox is... just an Xbox," the duo effortlessly glides between critique and curiosity. Fogg, with his signature dry affection for chaos, wrestles with Nintendo's ongoing PR acrobatics, while Tom indulges in a geriatric deep-dive into Minecraft, lumbering through digital dirt with the grace of an arthritic creeper. Their delightfully unfiltered exploration of Vampire Survivors leads to a ruminative spoiler-filled excavation of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. And just as the embers die down, Fogg ignites the sacred console debate—PS3, Xbox 360, Wii—with the forensic obsession of a man who's played Nier on all three.
