Our topic for this week is the first (successful) game from Amazon Game Studios New World...and is the $40, no subscription fee MMORPG set in a fantasy style Age of Exploration type world worth it? &nbsp;
 
For the other segments we discuss the Twitch hack and two new games in Astria Ascending and (very briefly) Metroid Dread.

Episode 498: Metroid Dread

A do-it-yourself podcast out of Binghamton, New York, Thumbstick Athletes approaches video games from the perspective of consumers, not journalists. Host Dan is joined by his brothers, Corey and Will, and lifetime friend, Eric.

Together, they navigate the world of games, the gamers, the makers and the culture surrounding them, including all-nighters and playing hooky.

Join the Athletes weekly for spirited conversation piped across the world, all from the comfort of Dan's basement.
