It's a Biddy Blast - Star Wars Galactic Racer review | Gears E-Day review | Used PS5 Pro prices

Brad is thoroughly enjoying Star Wars Galactic Racer, finding the game’s Burnout DNA and fantastic blend of arcade racing mechanics with run-based progression systems to create something truly special. The excellent implementation of the Star Wars license complements the gameplay perfectly, making it an unexpected standout in the racing game landscape. Micah and Terrence are both playing Gears of War E-Day, but their experiences diverge significantly. One of them is genuinely enjoying the prequel shooter while the other is finding the experience less compelling, offering contrasting perspectives on the latest entry in the Gears franchise. Used PS5 Pro pricing has skyrocketed in the secondary market, with GameStop currently selling the consoles for more than double their original retail price. The hosts question why GameStop is actively scalping their own inventory and warn consumers against purchasing at these inflated prices, arguing no one in their right mind should pay such premiums. A new report reveals that Epic Games is delaying an unannounced Disney project because they want developers to integrate significantly more artificial intelligence into the game, specifically for coding and development processes. Meanwhile, an indie developer is driving themselves toward bankruptcy by connecting their game demo’s NPC behavior directly to Google Gemini, discovering that AI API costs can rapidly drain a small studio’s resources. The hosts reflect on just how great AI integration is going in the gaming industry.
