Summary: <p>Today's episode was kinda messy, Colby and I couldn't hear each other for most of the recording, which makes it really hard to have a conversation. We posted what we had, but parts of it are definitely a little disjointed. We'll answer all the questions from this episode on Episode 249, which will probably come out on September 8th or 15th, depending on how my migration to Florida goes.</p> <h3><strong>What We're Playing</strong></h3> <p>Colby: The Ascent, Twelve Minutes, Stranger Things 3, Dead Space 2, Grounded<br> Cliff: The Ascent, Stardew</p> <h3><strong>News</strong></h3> <ul> <li>xCloud is Coming to the Xbox</li> <li>Halo is Launching Without Co-op Campaign or Forge</li> <li>Good Guy EA?</li> <li>Stardew Valley is an Esport Now</li> <li>Destiny 2 is Going to Give You Infinite Ammo</li> <li>Intel's New CPU Could Be Very Cool</li> <li>Bethesda Says It Will Stop Releasing New Versions of Skyrim When We Stop Buying It</li> <li>Curt Schilling's 38 Studios Is Making Payroll 10 Years Too Late</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Questions</strong></h3> <p>DA VINSTER (Vinny): What game do you think would benefit most from coming to a service like Xbox Game Pass or PS Now?</p> <p>Rdeacon: What do you think is the best way for gamers to give developers feedback about their games?
