On today's episode, your hosts Elias and Chilekwa talk about the evolution of the first-person shooter, from classic Doom to the Resistance series.

In the news, dbrand cancels PS5 skin pre-orders and offers us our money back because we're not good enough to apply them, Microsoft continue on their Bethesda Acquisition marketing tour, and a Halo Infinite update promised to be coming soon, just not The Game Awards soon. And on this week’s topic of the show, our host discuss their experiences with FPSs over the console generations, and how everything from the the genre's mechanics to the setting have evolved.

As usual, thanks for listening, and we hope you enjoy this episode.
