Deep dives
Unboxing the PS5 Pro
The excitement of unboxing a new gaming console can be exhilarating, exemplified by the reveal of the PS5 Pro. This iteration, heavier and slightly larger than the PS5 Slim, arrives after a quest to acquire a limited anniversary edition that proved elusive due to high demand. Instead of settling, the decision was made to purchase the PS5 Pro after realizing the enhanced experience it could provide, especially when playing close to a screen. The host's enthusiasm is palpable as they plan to seamlessly transition from the Slim to the Pro model, taking advantage of existing cable setups.
A New Comedy Series Recommendation
A new comedy series titled 'How to Die Alone' follows a protagonist navigating a life filled with missed opportunities and a recent near-death experience. As she wakes up from her unconscious state, the main character, who struggles financially and works as a baggage handler, seeks to bring adventure and love into her life. The show blends elements of personal transformation with workplace comedy, making it relatable and engaging. With Natasha Rothwell's involvement, the series aims to deliver heartfelt moments alongside humor, appealing to viewers looking for both laughs and emotional depth.
Exploring Dragon Age: The Veil Guard
Dragon Age: The Veil Guard introduces players to an action RPG that diverges from previous titles in the series, emphasizing accessibility and simplicity. As a newcomer to the franchise, the enjoyment stems from the engaging gameplay and the beautiful aesthetic, even when played at lower settings. The game incorporates a mission-based structure, allowing for easy immersion and enjoyment without needing extensive knowledge of the prior Dragon Age games. With positive initial experiences, there is potential for this iteration to attract a broader audience while maintaining the series' essence.
This week, Federico attempts to make audio unboxings a trend, plus he recommends a TV show and videogame, while John encourages listeners to try a decade-old cartoon.
