Filthy Casuals with Tommy Dassalo and Ben Vernel

It's another rough week of news over at Microsoft with the announcement that a bunch of games have been cancelled and more people laid off. What does this mean for the future of the platform and more broadly - how do you navigate being a fan of an art form that is governed purely by corporate interests and rife with attitudes that are so removed from fun and escapism?

The popular survival game The Alters has been found to have been using Generative AI. Is this a big deal? What does the spread of AI mean for the future of game development? And what does the mass layoffs at Xbox mean for the future of hardware development? Big questions that we do our best to wildly speculate on! Meanwhile, we're still sinking tonnes of hours into Death Stranding 2: On The Beach and Mario Kart World and we've got further thoughts on both of those games after our initial day one impressions over the last couple of weeks! ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

It’s time for another big episode of one of the best comedy and video games podcasts available on the chiral network. DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH is finally here and The Great Man has done it again. We’ve played roughly the first half-a-dozen or so hours of the new blockbuster from Hideo Kojima so we’re wrapping up our initial thoughts on the improved pacing of the game, the stories, the characters and notable Australian figures we’re hoping make an appearance!  ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Tommy's come down with what seems like a common cold but may in fact be DONKEY KONG FEVER because we watched the Donkey Kong Bananza Direct overnight and we're still reeling from some of the new revelations. Pauline! Ostrich Bananza! DK Artist Mode! A confusing Kong family timeline! We also discuss our trip to Sydney to see two of The Great Men: Hideo Kojima in conversation with Dr. George Miller, as well as the demo for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 & 4, and the Switch 2 port of Cyberpunk 2077!
