Cartoon Network, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Mall of America and more.  We discuss other games that were released in 1992; Indiana Jones and Fate of Atlantis, Super Mario Kart, and Atari 2600 was still supported in 1992?

Fe from Zoink Games and published by EA, is out and we all have our own thoughts on this game! A game about a fox like creature trying to save the forest through the power of communication! Is this game the next big thing we are looking for? Or does the message fail to be conveyed? One of us has come to the conclusion that the game is rage inducing. After we dissect this colorful game we jump into some gaming news and then discuss if Sea of Thieves will stay afloat in the industry or if it will sink.....pun intended! Has much changed since the the crew got their hands on the alpha? How about the jump from alpha to beta? Will this game be able to succesfully sail into the sunset? Or will a massive Kraken come and destroy it all? Lastly we answer a question from our listener Jesse Murnahan (which Kyle tries to imagine how Jesse would ask the question), Did we think every video game would come as a paid service. The industry seems to be heading in this direction. Does the crew think this will be the new norm?

This was a very special interview for Kyle especially! Today we have Ian Dallas from Giant Sparrow! Ian was the creative director for Kyle's Game of the Year for 2017, What Remains of Edith Finch.
