One of the developers over at Microsoft has a lot of important things to say about 4K gaming’s future, and James gets excited over the biggest ‘Mech announcement in 16 years and won’t shut up about it.
Over in the world of entertainment, we finally are getting an answer to the oldest Blade Runner question…or are we? Deadpool gets a good chunk of talking time as we finally find out why Tim Miller is out and David Leitch is in and close out level 3 with news about what the hell is happening to the DC cinematic universe.
