The Gaming Outsider Podcast – Episode 149: E3 Reflections, Arms & Twitch Opinions

We’re back in full swing this week with a guest that the crew met at E3 in Los Angeles. John Mann from the Game Grinder podcast joins us to discuss some gaming news including Atari possibly creating a new console and Supermassive Games’ interesting social game. John tells us all about his love for Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds. Josh gives us his review of Arms for the Nintendo Switch. Also, Zach covers an underrated gem from E3 called The Darwin Project. Our community topic this week centers around our thoughts and opinions on Twitch streaming: is it good for the industry and do we enjoy streaming and watching ourselves?
