247: Jedi Fallen Order, Half-Life Alyx & Gamer's Holiday Gift Guide 2019

Respawn's first Star Wars game has arrived! EA and Respawn have released their single-player story following Cal after Order 66 was executed. The game is a good combination of Dark Souls and Uncharted despite some flaws around the edges. We also revisit more of Luigi's Mansion 3 and talk about the complexity behind the boss battles.

In the news, Pokemon Sword and Shield is suffering from a lot of controvery including what is called "Dexit." Despite this, it sold 6 million copies. Valve announced Half-Life: Alyx  for VR systems and Tesla announces Cybertruck. Cybertruck also may appear within Cyberpunk 2077. We'll see! 

Our discussion features our holiday gift guide for gamer's! Every year we break down our main picks for the holidays from video game deals to big hardware buys. We invite Jason back onto the cast to share his top picks and also include feedback from our community on Discord and Facebook!

Special thanks to Crazzie Pro Gear. They provided us with some incredible pro-level backbacks for carrying our computer equipment to all our events. If you want a bag yourself, head over to their website to purchase one! A portion of the proceeds go to support The Inner Gamer.
