177: The Banner Saga, Life is Strange 2 and Streaming Video Games

The Banner Saga released over 4 years ago but has finally been released on the Switch. Naturally, we decide to jump in and see what this franchise is all about before the release of The Banner Saga 3 this month. We also play some Fortnite and find the mysterious launch of Season 5 to catch our interest. Turns out a rocket created a rift in the sky and who knows what will come out of that. But it’s growing…

This week in news, Life is Strange 2 was announced as well as a Halo TV series with Showtime. In addition, Sony is having some woes when they won’t allow crossplay like everyone else. Overwatch also revealed their new hero...a hamster? We talk about what Hammond is all about.

Finally, our discussion is all about video game streaming. Not Twitch streaming, actual game streaming versus downloaded content. Xbox hinted at it, Playstation already does it and the PC is looking into it. What will we see come our way in the next few years with streaming?
