Some Patches Required
Hello everybody, and welcome to Some Patches Required. Every other Thursday, your hosts Aaron and Zak use their backgrounds in game development and analysis to discuss various facets of the ever-turbulent games industry. From interviews with AAA/indie devs to deep dives on timely topics, the duo hopes to entertain and educate you on this wild medium we all love.
Some Patches Required
Platform-Exclusive Games, King Kong, and a Michael Caine Mea Culpa

Well, we've finally done it. How long did you really think it would take for Aaron to invite his very good friend Michael Caine to do a guest spot on this undeniably popular podcast?
Unfortunately, the appearance by America's favorite Alfred didn't go so hot, so this episode features a re-recorded introduction full of apologies (all from Aaron and Sir Caine) and at least one strange transition. We all need patches, right?
More importantly, Zak touches briefly on the bizarre emotional whiplash that is the "Godzilla vs. Kong" trailer, and both hosts dive into their deepest topic yet: Console-exclusive games and the idea of platform-exclusivity in general.
Keep an eye (or an ear) out for part two of this discussion!
