SHOW NOTES
It’s been a while since we’ve really proven our validity as a gaming media outlet. So long, in fact, that we actually almost didn’t do this one… but too much has happened in the nerd world to not talk about at least some of it. We have a few thoughts about things like Disney +, Ubisoft and the PS5, and that’s what we want to talk about this week on the Free Play podcast.
