SVP073 - A Giant Shit Show That’s Only Getting Worse

We take a breather to discuss our favorite winter meals and sweets while addressing the "Guest Character" concern within the Tekken community. Also, Bioware continues to crumble with more leadership departures, Corey is literally brought to tears with laughter from the Monster Hunter movie backlash in China, and Microsoft pulls yet another bold acquisition with Smash.gg. Oh, and Nintendo is on yet another rampage of shutting down tournament streams, ensuring that they have zero connection with their fan base. We also discuss our weeks, INTERESTING questions from the community, and our upcoming gaming sessions!
