Welcome back to the Spectator Mode Podcast and you’re listening or watching episode 169!

In this episode we cover the recent announcement of Spider-Man 2 heading to the PC, the Analogue 3D, the reveal of Team Bloober’s Cronos: The New Dawn, and the reveal of the Alien: Isolation’s follow-up to keep things positive. Of course, we have to bring the chaos and we also discuss the downfall of Twitter / X and seeing more people (including our very own Keith) making the trek to Bluesky, how much time consoles have left in the spotlight, and the always interesting physical vs digital conversation.

Of course, this isn't without our special brand of chaos and humor, so grab a set. And while this is an adult show, we have removed the curses, so everyone can listen to the show, wherever you want.

Welcome back to another episode of the Spectator Mode Podcast, where we discuss the gaming industry and all the things that come with it. In this episode, we get a bit serious as we discuss the differences between having a good year in gaming and having a good year for gamers. Karl is back from PAX AUS 2024 and he gives us the rundown, as well as his meet-up with Square Enix's Yoshi-P. We aren't done being serious as we point at the countless GOTY shows and ask why expansions aren't included in the fun. That and more on this episode!

This is a mature podcast and we do use adult language... we curse a bit, but that's it.

So, pull up your chair, get some popcorn, and enjoy the blend of chaos and fu that only we can bring to you.

During PAX West 2024, The Outerhaven chats with Justin Woodward regarding the upcoming 2D Side-Scrolling beat 'em up, Jay & Silent Bob Chronic Punch and gets all the info you'll ever want regarding the game. Sadly, the lighting was a bit low and we were forced to move due to some overzealous enforcer at the event.

**Big thanks to Justin Woodward for taking time out to talk with us**
