The Weekly Stuff #405 – Halo Infinite, Xbox Series S, Guardians of the Galaxy, Persona 5 Royal & More!

from Purely Academic with Jonathan Lack & Sean Chapman · host Jonathan R. Lack & Sean Chapman

After taking last week off due to the Thanksgiving holiday, we’re back with a veritable menagerie of stuff for you this week. First up, we hit two pieces of news – the first teaser trailer for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One) and a Bloomberg report about Sony planning a new PlayStation subscription to compete with Xbox Game Pass – before diving into a big array of game content. Sean talks about getting the Xbox Series S (which Jonathan has too), and replaying all the Halo campaigns for the first time in years. Then we review the very bad Halo Infinite multiplayer suite, and talk about how baffling it is to see the gaming press treat this predatory free-to-play mess with such kid gloves. Jonathan reviews Square Enix’s surprisingly wonderful Guardians of the Galaxy game after picking it up on Black Friday, and Sean talks about finishing Persona 5 Royal and starting to wade into Persona 5 Strikers.Enjoy! Time Chart:Intro/Stuff: 0:00:00 – 0:15:37News: 0:15:37 – 0:40:02Xbox Series S Talk: 0:40:02 – 0:59:15Sean Revisits Halo 1 – 5: 0:59:15 – 1:25:00Halo Infinite Multiplayer Talk: 1:25:00 – 1:52:13Jonathan Reviews Guardians of the Galaxy: 1:52:13 – 2:17:17Sean Talks Persona 5 Strikers & Royal: 2:17:17 – 2:45:12Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!Subscribe to the WEEKLY SUIT GUNDAM Podcast!Subscribe for free to 'The Weekly Stuff' in Apple Podcasts!Follow Jonathan Lack on Twitter!Follow Sean Chapman on Twitter!
