What we’re playing

Pixelated Art of AmandaAmanda- I got challenged to a duel in Mortal Kombat X by one of our Instagram followers- one I am very likely to lose for sure haha. When it goes down I’ll try to capture it on Twitch for ya’ll. But this week I played Among Us on mobile, the game everyone is talking about. And to be honest, I found it a bit awkward to control. Keep in mind, I don’t have a mobile controller so maybe that’s it. While it’s fun, I couldn’t deal with more than 2 or 3 games at a time.

Gaming news

Parents accidentally buy the wrong X-Box gen- we knew naming conventions were gonna be an issue but it’s worse than we could have thought. Thousands of people mistakenly ordered X-Box One X consoles instead of Xbox Series X preorders in a farcical comedy of errors.

Xbox game pass mobile streaming is live- however, our own test shows it might not be everything it’s cracked up to be. Since your streaming, you’re likely to be using mobile data at a rate of approximately 2gb per hour and you need a compatible controller to even play anything.
