As is their custom, Kotaku published a stupid piece saying including white cis women characters in games isn’t progressive enough, adding more proof to the never-ending pile of evidence that video game journalists will never be satisfied with their social justice agenda. We also discuss Dia Lacina’s terrible takes on politics in Returnal and Nier’s auto-battle system, Jeffrey Grubb simping for Lacina and his history of being not a good guy, Respawn’s jab at Polygon’s error-riddled article on Titanfall lore, a Riot developer’s based take on critical race theory, Polygon pushing the idea that people have body dysmorphia over Wii Fit, and a World of Warcraft voice actor being canceled over fruitless sexual misconduct allegations.

On this week's episode, host Jeffrey Grubb talks to Andrey “Reynad” Yanyuk, who is the chief executive officer of the esports organization Tempo Storm. He started out as a pro gamer, but he also equally embraced life as a content creator. Eventually, he started Tempo Storm and stepped into the CEO role to focus on creating a multimedia company that leverages the popularity of its talent both as competitors and as influencers. And now, after years of promoting other people's games, Tempo Storm is working on a game of its own. And Andrey sees this as his opportunity to turn his business into the Bloomberg of esports.

The new VR Half-Life marks a full return for the series, but it's not the revolution that some are making it out to be. It's also a stressful game that is tough to play in these stressful times. Mike then joins editor Jeffrey Grubb in talking about the lovely escapism of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. But first, in the news, GameStop cares more about money than people. Animal Crossing is selling well. And Nintendo is going after Dreams players who use its characters.

Do you think that robots will end civilisation as we know it? Quite a heavy question to start off with, so let's just discuss what Chat Bots are for now and make our way up to that one. Julia’s back story is a little different - only seven years ago, Julia started her own company and has never looked back, with nearly one hundred members of staff now on board. Express Writers is a writing agency that cerates content, helping to build a brands presence online. Takeaways - Your light bulb moment. Have you had any? Don’t panic if not, they will come. The important thing is to keep on going. - Content creation and storytelling is massively important within Marketing today, but so many are doing it themselves and that is fine, as long as they know what they are doing. If not, bring in the pros. Take fixing your roof for example, the chances are you wouldn’t tackle that on your limited expertise (unless you’re a roofer) you’d call a professional and content creation is no different. - There are many ways to measure or analyse your content other than your income. Julia describes a few of these as: - Lead generation - Bottom-line sales and growth - Engagement, shares, likes (basically gaining trust through content) Yes this last one is a little bit inside the vanity metrics bracket but as long as they are seen as just part of your analysis, you can gain valuable insight into your strategy by reviewing them – just don’t rely on these solely. - When writing an assignment or essay, get everything down, even if you think its rubbish…. and then walk away. We’ve mentioned this before as a top tip. Walking away, getting some space between you and your work can recharge and reset the brain. If you start to do this as a rinse and repeat cycle it will start to become second nature and really help you in completing a great assignment. Chat Bots So what is a chat bot? You may have heard it called another term: smartbot, talkbot, chatterbot, Bot, IM bot, interactive agent, conversational interface or artificial conversational entity, but lets stick with chat bot for now. A chat bot is a computer program that mimics conversation with people using artificial intelligence (via audio or copy). They can transform the way we interact over the Internet from a series of self-initiated task and conversations. What we are saying is that instead of having a conversation with a human over the Internet, we are chatting to software that has been programmed to respond to particular phrases that the majority of consumer would use. But lets step this up a level. The most recent incarnation of these is what Google calls ‘Google Assistant’ which works in a slightly different way in that a user firstly has to ask Google to arrange something, in this instance a hair appointment.

On this episode, co-host (and GamesBeat reviews editor) Mike Minotti talks about how much he is enjoying Pokémon -- Let's Go. Fellow co-host (and PC gaming editor) Jeffrey Grubb tries to avoid the call of Pikachu because $60 is a lot of money. The crew also checks in on Overwatch. In the news, Mike and Jeff break down the most recent NPD Group report for the gaming industry. Turns out that releasing a Call of Duty and Red Dead in October could lead to a lot of spending.

Sony is skipping the Electronic Entertainment Expo trade show next year. This is the first time PlayStation won't have a presence at the event since it began 24 years ago. On this week's episode of the GamesBeat Decides podcast, hosts Jeffrey Grubb and Mike Minotti dig into this news. What does it mean for Sony? What does it mean for E3? We know*, but you'll have to listen to find out. (*we don't actually know.) The Decides crew also talk about Tetris Effect, Hitman, and not playing Red Dead Redemption 2. In addition, Jeff -- GamesBeat's PC gaming editor -- has actually seen ray tracing working in a game. He paired Battlefield V with the $1,200 RTX 2080 Ti and the latest version of Windows 10. That combination enabled him to try out the latest lighting technology. The result? Some really good looking puddles. That's right.

PC gaming editor Jeffrey Grubb joins Mike to talk about BOBO (Call of Duty: Black Ops Black Out), which still isn't doing it for him. Mike is also finally playing 2016's Hitman, and he's mad that Jeff didn't tell him how great it is. It's a shame that we don't hours of audio footage -- like a podcast, for example -- where Jeff repeatedly told him to play it immediately for two years.  In the news, Mike and Jeff talk about Nintendo remixing its NES classics. They also wonder if a Zelda randomizer or Super Wario Bros. 3 could come to Switch next. The crew also spends some time exasperated at people who think we're getting new consoles in 2019.  You should join us and listen along.  Here’s everything we talk about: Games Mike:  Fallout 76 Hitman Jeff: BOBO News Nintendo's remixed NES classics Sony CEO says PS5 is "necessary" Hitman 2 gets multiplayer Assassin's Creed Odyssey is doing well Forza Horizon 4 had 2 million players Microsoft might buy Obsidian Skyboud is gonna save The Walking Dead's final season PSN is getting name changes But seriously, why would you possibly think we're getting new consoles in 2019?
