The Weekly Stuff #307 – Death Stranding, Pokemon Sword & Shield, Xbox News, and more!

We’ve got two big video reviews for you this week, as Sean tells us all about the wacky world of Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding, and Jonathan gives final thoughts on Pokemon Sword & Shield. One of these games is very straightforward to discuss, and one is more…um, confusing, but both are well worth your attention, and they were a lot of fun to talk about. We also talk about our respective Thanksgivings and go over some Black Friday purchases, including Jonathan’s shiny new Xbox One SAD edition, before diving into some news, including reports about Microsoft’s plan for the next-generation Xbox and Disney’s refusal to let Star Wars characters be gay. And at the end, we discuss episodes 4 and 5 of The Mandalorian, which continue the show’s hot streak. Time Chart:Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:02:10Stuff: 0:02:10 – 0:42:10News: 0:42:10 – 1:23:50Pokemon Sword & Shield: 1:23:50 – 1:43:34Death Stranding: 1:43:34 – 2:36:00The Mandalorian: 2:36:00 – 2:53:33 Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!Subscribe for free to 'The Weekly Stuff' in iTunes!Follow Jonathan Lack on Twitter!Follow Sean Chapman on Twitter!
