Hot topics coming out of GDC

No James this week, but I am joined by Nate for this week’s Electronic Wireless Showpodcastto discuss Ubisoft’s new NEO NPC prototype - an NPC you can have a stilted, weird conversation with using the power of AI! It’s fair to say we are quite partisan about this and do not want it, but we discuss why anyway. In counterpoint, we think World Of Warcraft’s new piratey battle royale game mode sounds pretty cool and good, actually?

Plus: I ask Nate to explain cool things that I’ve seen in Warhammer 40K: Darktide, and Nate tries to convince me to take a devil’s bargain where I have to play WOW for at least 12 hours a day, but I get a sort of increasing MDMA high while doing so.

This weekI’ve been playingWitchHand, a secret thing, thethird Nancy Drew Mystery, andDarktide.

Recommendationsthis week areRealms Of Fightinge,The Beekeeper, and Black Library short storyThe Sum Of Its Parts.
