Hurricane Matthew

Richie starts off the podcast by talking about Hurricane Matthew. He follows up with talk of the leak of the new Nintendo console. It looks like all of the coverage of the leak trails back to a post on Reddit. Some news outlets were even posting screenshots of the Reddit leak and treating it like it was their coverage. He digs behind the strategy of the new Nintendo console and what they could do to gain back a sizable chunk of the gaming market. He talks about how Nintendo should start a cloud market and create emulators for mobile devices like tablets and phones and sell their old games on the cloud market. The rumored NX console has more of a mobile focus to it that could compete directly with smartphones. Hurricane Matthew directly impacted college football games creating doubts for some teams to make the playoffs. He talks about the college football playoff hopes for each conference and thinks the Big 12 will be left out as they have the slimmest margin of error for their remaining games. He also briefly discusses the NFL, mentioning the Raiders' impressive performance, Tom Brady's return, and the surprising success of the Vikings with their backup quarterback. Richie plans to continue the podcast with roughly equal time for gaming/tech and sports, and is considering adding a segment for listener rants and feedback.
