Join the Professors as we dive into the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, dissecting its extraction-inspired Endgame mode, and how it stacks up against Arc Raiders in today’s fiercely competitive shooter market. Next, find out Halo Infinite’s support is ending and what it means for the future of Master Chief, before shifting gears to break down Rockstar’s latest GTA 6 delay and the swirl of union controversies behind the headlines. The conversation gets heated with Shroud’s campaign for Arc Raiders as Game of the Year and his spicy takes on The Game Awards’ single-player bias. Plus, the Professors tackle the Texas lawsuit against Roblox, rising safety concerns, and the permanent ban of vigilante creator Schlep. In Shop Class, get all the details on Valve’s new Steam Frame VR, Steam Machine, and controller drops, then follow the money with a look at Square Enix’s global layoffs, Destiny 2’s rough patch, and why PNY is killing Black Friday deals this year. Wrapping up, Heru and Plague share thoughts on World of Tanks 2.0 and the highs (and lows) of starting fresh. Heru and Plague would love your feedback!

Come in and grab a seat as we profess our love and hate for all things video games!
