Episode 107 | “Mind The Gap”
Sik and Nick are back to discuss all things, and occasionally videogames.
We got Microsoft’s financials and it turns out the Series X|S has been the best selling console in “many markets worldwide” the last two quarters.
Halo Infinite had more season 2 information drop, explanations were given, will Nick’s anger be sated, or is it just more excuse-making for 343i?
All this and so much more.
