11 November 2024, 2:00 pm - 1 hour 52 minutesEp. 169 - Spider-Man 2 heads to PC & Twitter/X exodus to BlueSky
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.
