AJS News- Arc Raiders Playtest, Walmart NOT pulling XBOX, Pokemon LEAK, MTG TMNT Cards, $1000 Ally?!

Quick Overview

The Angry Joe Show crew discusses recent gaming and entertainment news, including the successful Ark: Survival Ascended playtest, the controversy surrounding a recent Magic: The Gathering crossover set, the announcement of a new Total War: Warhammer 3 DLC, and the release of a fan-made mod for the game 'Futurama Hit & Run'.

Key Points: The Ark: Survival Ascended playtest was very successful, hitting 89th most popular game by concurrent players on Steam, despite the game being free for the test, which impressed the hosts. The hosts express strong negative feelings about the Magic: The Gathering crossover set, specifically criticizing Wizards of the Coast for charging high prices ($40) for cards that don't fit the core fantasy aesthetic, leading to community backlash. Total War: Warhammer 3 is receiving the 'Tides of Torment' DLC on December 4th, which will feature the underdog Cathayan army led by Zhao Ming and a new enemy faction, the Curstled Aethel, led by the six-armed demon Zhao Ming. A fan-made conversion mod for the PS2 game 'Futurama Hit & Run' demo is now available for free download from Donut Team's Bakery, which the hosts found impressive and fun. Microsoft is reportedly denying that US retailers like Target and Walmart removed Xbox products, claiming any removal was due to them being non-contractual partners, suggesting retailers are focusing on digital sales. Lana Del Rey may have written a James Bond theme song called '007 First Light' for the upcoming 007 game, which the hosts are tentatively excited about, despite past Bond themes not always aligning with the game's quality. The group concludes the show by encouraging viewers to check out the Babbel sponsor link for language learning.
