While wondering when or if Square Enix will be acquired by a larger entity, David Radd asks if he's just here to suffer in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn and keeps the quick save and quick load triggers at the ready in Dishonored 2. Meanwhile, Tuesday played Bad North and Serious Sam: Tormental, chasing that next Rogue-lite high. In news, Microsoft presents their own arguments for why acquiring Activision Blizzard isn't anti-competitive, while Activision Blizzard executives are pushing all Blizzard Albany employees to vote on the union, not just the Q&A department, in a likely attempt to get the measure to fail. Meanwhile, Nintendo is dealing with accusations of labor tampering and gender discrimination, while the Embracer Group expands even more, including acquiring the media rights to the Lord of the Rings franchise. For the SNGP topic, David and Tuesday talk about BioShock and the various story and gameplay elements that have been influencing games for years since, from the tonics to Andrew Ryan and "would you kindly".
