120: Mark N. Execute

This week we ended up doing an impromptu dive into the past/present/future of Assassin's Creed in the wake of Mirage's release, talked (?) at length (??) about a new Robocop game (???), dabbled with Payday 3, considered the new PS5 design's place in the pantheon of PlayStations, pondered an AI Guitar hero and Disney's Electronic Arts, and more!
