Episode 27: Geek Done Quick

Shiny Podcast — Mon, 02 Jul 2018 00:00:00 -0400

There's no splitting hairs here: we had to take a breather last week because the news was just so bleak in the tech world we couldn't bring ourselves to do an episode on it. This week we're back with a very quick overview of that news and then immediately a pickmeup from our dear friend John Grandi who swoops in to save us. We talk a lot about Games Done Quick and E3 and if you want more in depth analysis of the bad stuff we've included the links below.

Theme of the week: Long live the monopoly and a big ol’ middle finger to net neutrality:

Anyways we tackle such subjects as loot boxes, just how much the FCC doesn't care about being as evil as possible, Equifax continued incompetence, the demise of the Windows phone, and more!
