Episode 73: What is a AAA Game?

Once again, the Mashers have gathered around the proverbial table to talk about Video Games. "What specifically are they talking about?" I'm sure you're wondering to yourself out loud in the middle of an intense business presentation, and I'll tell you right now; Glen Schofield deserves a slap due to his tone deaf tweet about crunch, Microsoft vs Sony in a slap fight, Halo slapping it's fans with it's road map, and will Cyberpunk 2077 finally slap after this DLC gets released? Then we get really into the weeds and confuse each other when we approach this week's Main Topic. What really is a AAA game? What does that mean? Can only certain genres of games be considered AAA? The big bad button boys get to the bottom of this bewitching botheration by bickering and besmirching both buddies bashing their basis beautifully. Is there even a right answer?* Then things get really hot with the Heat Check. Dan comes in blazing with his GG. Finally, as always, we talk about the games we've been playing. Get your popcorn ready!
