Welcome to episode 14 of The Gateway Geeks Podcast! This week, Joe and Aaron take on hype, should we believe it? Must everything ‘suck’ or ‘rule?’ HAVE WE NO MEASURE OF MODERATION? The guys discuss No Man’s Sky, Suicide Squad, and the surrounding buzz, and engage in an exercise in critical polemics. Get Aaron’s pre-VR impressions before he ventures into the great beyond!
Check out the latest episode of Joe’s VR Vlog in which Aaron ventures for the first time into the virtual expanse!
