'The Emerald Gamescast': Simulated Normalcy (Episode 21)

Editor’s Note: With school online due to COVID-19 and social distancing measures being implemented across the country, things will sound a bit different here at the Emerald Podcast Network as we navigate recording from separate physical spaces. We’ve got limited recording technology, so join us as we figure this out. Alex, Janelle and Nolan discuss Animal Crossing (for real this time), the mounting pile of delays including the Last of Us Part II, IGN's E3 replacement and more on this special remote episode of the Emerald GamesCast.
