140: Wooden Poles

The Tangent - 140: Wooden Poles Anthony opens up this week to talk some Assassin's Creed Origins. Take it from a man who hasn't played the series since Assassin's Creed II, a lot has changed. A lot. It's in Egypt and there are wooden poles. What more do you need? Next up is a group discussion because we're all still playing Super Mario Odyssey. Both Anthony and Brian have beaten it and Stephen fixed some of his controller woes. Now they are both going through the game collecting all 836 Power Moons. Yes, there is that many. Then Brian talks a bit about Wolfenstein II, a game he also finished. He struggles to find the magic of the first. Last up is Gary and he's talking some High Hell. Drunk News this week had a lot of stories about microtransactions and you can only imagine how we feel about that.
