Sacred Symbols, Episode 347 | The Return of the King

This has been an exciting week in Sacred Symbols World. We're riding high off of our two hour interview with ex-Sony executive Shuhei Yoshida, and we're eager to reminisce and reflect on it.

Constellation, Episode 111 | Fragrances, Phone Calls, World Records

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson stopped me on the street once. You can tell he was a little nervous at first, but he finally managed to pull himself together, exclaiming that he was Constellation's biggest fan. I acted surprised and we exchanged pleasantries. It quickly became awkward though, so I thanked him and glanced at my watc...

Side Quest, Episode 95 | Xbox's Icarus Moment: How Microsoft Went Third Party

Since the brand launched in 2001, Xbox differentiated itself with robust features and services. What it lacked was games, at least in contrast to its competition. In trying to earnestly fix the problem, however, a lumbering Microsoft fell into a trap of its own design. Now, Xbox is PlayStation's single biggest third party pub...

Sacred Symbols, Episode 346 | Then There Is No Pleasing You

A recent presentation showcased a diverse array of some 35 games coming to PlayStation 5 over the next couple of years. But -- perhaps unsurprisingly -- that hasn't stopped boo-birds from raining down upon Sony yet again, at least from some particularly loud corners. It seems that some people will literally never be satisfied...
