#78: Sometimes, War Changes

Absent Minded Podcast

As we roll into December and the dust begins to settle from another Black Friday, which we guess really wasn't so bad this year thanks to everyone's favorite deadly virus, the news cycle continues to slow while we move from Thanksgiving into Christmas. Which just means we have more time to talk about what we've been playing! Travis has much to say about Bugsnax and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, two single player titles that were easy enough to knock out from the already fast building "next gen" backlog. We're only three weeks in and he's already behind! Ethan reflects on the usefulness of PlayStation 5's Activities feature during his continuing adventures in Demon's Souls and we run down the reviews for Immortals Fenyx Rising and Twin Mirror before we dive into what little news there is this week. Xbox Series X|S turns out to be an emulation power house, leaked internal documents from Sony show that single player gaming is thriving and was a huge consideration when developing the biggest PlayStation 5 features, Genshin Impact continues to make crazy money on mobile, and Nintendo continues to dominate in software sales even while the PS5 surpasses it in hardware during its launch month.
