Over the last few months, multiple lawsuits have rocked the entertainment industry. The most disturbing involves the State of California vs. Activision Blizzard including allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination within the workplace.  A second lawsuit involves the Black Widow actress, Scarlett Johansson, suing Disney (parent company of Marvel Entertainment) for loss of personal revenue because of how the movie was released. In the Season Finale of ShatterCast, we share our honest opinions about the lawsuits and the impact they could have on the entertainment industry.  We also discuss one troubling similarity we found in both cases - the rather strong and defensive initial response from the entertainment companies.   How could they have handled those responses better?  And in our own lives, how do we handle times when we might be accused of something? Special Note: We are not legal experts and are just sharing our opinions based on reports that have gone public at the time of this recording.   And no worries, ShatterCast will return for SEASON FOUR in the near future!

Nintendo Switch announced their new model, the Switch OLED.  But with just an upgrade to a dock and the screen, has Nintendo done enough to convince consumers it is worth the increased price tag?And out of nowhere, Valve decides to enter another handheld into the market, the Steam Deck.  Who is the target audience and will it prove to be a direct competitor to the Switch?Valve has also been very open with who can use the Steam Deck.  What can we learn from this about the nature of teamwork especially when it comes to aspects of life and faith?

Session Six, Debrief - Through the Realm of Light and ShadowOur players reflect on their thoughts on Session 6 of our adventure. During the discussion, a theme of "you only know what you know" continued to arise. What did our players discover about navigating challenges when we only have a small amount of knowledge about a situation? Why is it important to rely on others who might have more knowledge than we have in an area? And how can we apply this to our everyday life? All this and more as we reflect on our current Role-Play adventure!___________________________________________________________________________"Through the Realm of Light and Shadow" is an original role-play adventure based in the Lord of the Rings setting.
