The hosts introduce themselves as Jordan McLean, Chris McElroy, Christopher Thomas Plant, and Russ Froschick. They express gratitude for advice from Justin. They highlight the best game of the week and welcome listeners to the Besties, a video game club. The hosts clarify that the video format is for coordination purposes and assure that there is no added value in seeing them visually.
Hundreds of games were shown during the Summer Game Fest. The Besties spotlight some of their favorites, while discussing the strange and messy state of the video game industry in 2024. Is SGF the E3 replacement of our dreams? How should we feel about Xbox’s big moment? Are small games the future? We attempt to provide some answers!
