The gang is all here and we’ve all played Firewatch! Stay tuned for an upcoming episode of The Spoiling Point about it, but in the meantime, hear Matt, Ethan, Ricardo and Amber talk about of few of their thoughts on the game, plus Yarn Yoshis, the nature of crypts vs. tombs (Nicolas Cage has a role to play in both,) ramshackle wrestling games, and Matt’s HOT TAKES on which hip hop artist wrote *recent popular song*. Learn how Remedy and Microsoft are Quantum Breaking people’s hearts, what people think of Kanye West’s video game, why it’s a good thing we won’t have another Assassin’s Creed and Destiny this year, and what our DUMB NEWS story is this week (or cheat and look below, I’m not your dad.)
Ethan: XCOM 2, Firewatch, Yoshi’s Woolly World
Ricardo: Firewatch, 5-Star Wrestling ReGenesis
Matt: Firewatch
Amber: Rise of the Tomb Raider, Firewatch
