This week, we get to publicly ask Mike about something we've been privately asking him about for FOREVER! Also, it wouldn't be an episode of Play, Watch, Listen without a philosophical discussion, so: can AI create art?

Welcome back to the Bros and Consoles podcast! This week was a smaller news week, but there were so many games to play and new things to talk about that we couldn't NOT get excited about recording! As well as some new stories, we've also got updates on a story from last week too, so don't miss it. :D On one other note, this will actually be the last normal episode for a little while, which we've also gone into detail about on the podcast itself (after segment 1). I (Nathan) am going to be gone for about 3 months for the first of 4 externships, which I need to complete for the final year of my graduate schooling, and I won't be back until mid-to-late August. What does that mean for the podcast? It means that instead of having both Michael and me on the show together, we will be putting out solo episodes during that time period. We decided we didn't want to go back to an awful audio setup, similar to our rough first episode, so we decided it made more sense to attempt to continue the show on a weekly basis in this fashion temporarily so that you listeners have something to look forward to each week. Obviously, this will be a bit different and may take some getting used to, but we're hoping you'll still enjoy the content and bear with us until we can come back together in full force! As always though, we thank each and every one of you for the continued support, and we look forward to continuing the show for you all. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to reach out to me on Twitter via @IndieRonin, or via email: brosandconsoles@gmail.com Hope you enjoy the episode!

This week, the boys are going deep on Quarantine Circular, Bithell Games’ follow-up to last year’s Subsurface Circular. They spend some time comparing and contrasting Quarantine and Subsurface, discussing their use of communication and puzzles and how each game treats these differently. Additionally, the game sparks a conversation about science fiction tropes and the manner in which they are employed. Also, despite his insistence that he won’t stumble over his words, Blake absolutely does. Jordan makes him pay dearly for his mistake.   If you are interested in following the creators on twitter, check out @mikeBithellAnd also explore the game’s soundtrack if you enjoy good music: https://danlesac.bandcamp.com/album/quarantine-circular
