Chapter 17 - 90 Year-Old YouTube Grandma, New Game+ Expo, Game Stop Sales, PETA vs Animal Crossing, Video Game Addiction, Pac-Man
It's been another weird and wonderful week in the world of video games, with both highs (a gaming grandmother wins a Guinness World Record) and lows (PETA's #BlathersIsOver Twitter stunt). We're also discussing Game Stop's huge sales boost, the New Game+ Expo coming in June, PS5 game announcements due "soon," and Reggie Fils-Aime's Animal Crossing: New Horizons island. Finally, we break down the latest scientific study that asks, "Is game addiction real?" before finishing up with a look back at Pac-Man on the game's 40th anniversary.
