On this special milestone episode, we are graced by the return of Sol to the podcast to shoot the shit, talk about what he's been up to since his departure from the show, what games he's loved, and more! We also take the time to dive into the seemingly bizarre decision for PlayStation to close Bluepoint after they struggled to bounce back from the Live Service God of War cancellation, and ponder the shake up at Microsoft and Xbox as Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond leave the company with a surprising immediacy. All this and more! Join us!
