420: Schedule 1, Blue Prince and Marathon's Gameplay Reveal

This episode gets a little off the rails. We talk about drug dealing in the game Schedule 1. It couldn't be more perfect that it falls on Episode 420. Schedule 1 comes from Tyler's Video Game Studio and it's a simulator game where you start as a low-level drug dealer and work your way up in the criminal empire to operate your own distribution system in Hyland Point. It has a silly art style that makes for lots of laughter about trying to get the whole town high as a kite on everything imaginable. 

Brett dives into his puzzle game obsession with Blue Prince. It's another indie game from a film studio turned game developer. The story revolves around you trying to reach Room 46 to get your inheritance left behind by your recently departed relative. This old estate has a lot of mysteries to uncover when everyday brings a new design and layout to explore to reach that final room.

Bungie has finally showcased gameplay for Marathon and it has people divided. The game has a really unique artstyle and some fantastic gunplay. No surprise there. However, we can't get past the extraction shooter being the focus. This feels too hardcore and niche for Bungie to tap into so we're worried it won't find the right sized audience.

Lastly, we're still hooked on Marvel Rivals. We talk about the latest from Season 2: the Hellfire Gala. We also talk about what's coming in future, shorter seasons and much more!
