Listen "309: Oops, All ‘What’s Making Us Happy’, Hardware Edition"
Episode Synopsis
We’re taking a break from our regular format this week and doing an all What’s Making Us Happy This Week episode. First, Shane talks about the out-of-the-box experience of his new Quest 2 VR headset, and Laura talks about her return to the Xbox family after a generation away.
After the hardware talk, Raygan embarrasses himself by recommending some anime, Shane talks about Guillermo del Toro‘s latest movie Nightmare Alley, and Laura recommends some TV shows.
We’ll be back to our regular format next week with Dodgeball Academia, and then with some of the games you voted on in our upcoming episode poll.
