Aaaaaaand we're back! Back from the virtual roadtrip that was E3 2021 and to our regular schedule. It feels so warm and comfortable. But what isn't is the way we've been gaming. Even with all of the hubbub about the new games, we continue to challenge ourselves. With our PickZ PlayZ assignment. With the choices we make. With the push to always venture outside of our wheelhouse, and into territory that is not always filled with comfort food. Sometimes you just have to see how the other half lives. It's our Gamer Xperience show tonight (the GX show), and we cover all of the games we've been playing the last two weeks. Tonight we talk:

1. Smelter (XB)
2. Game Builder Garage (NSW)
3. XBox E3 Demos
4. Knockout City (XB and NSW)
5. Call of Duty: Black OPS - Cold War
6. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate (XB360 and 3DS)
7. Metroid II: Samus Returns (3DS)
8. Mario Odyssey (NSW)
9. Trials Rising (XB)

"We got an Official GamePlay Trailer reveal this week for Marvel’s Midnight Suns. And while we are pretty clear what the point of Gotham Knights is, Midnight Suns’ still eludes us. Regardless, we now have only 5 more days until we get even more info on the new title involving Marve’s magic lineup. And so, play anything related to this impending release, due out in March of 2022! So it can be super-hero related, any tactical RPG, deck building/card battling, anything in the XCom franchise, anything from Firaxis, or anything you can justify as related!"

Read by Jim Seybert

The inside story of an extraordinary, once-in-a-generation victory: the normalization of relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, Kosovo, and Morocco.

Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is insanity. For decades, the U.S. State Department called it diplomacy.

David Friedman was an outside candidate when President Trump appointed him U.S. ambassador to Israel. He took office to find U.S.-Israel policy stuck in stalemate. For years, accepted wisdom was that extensive experience and detailed knowledge of Middle Eastern history and culture were necessary to negotiate treaties. In truth, Friedman realized, all parties played on that accepted wisdom to stall—expecting to get a better deal further down the road.

Tossing the State Department playbook aside and incorporating insights from his many years as a negotiator in the American private sector, Friedman and a small team with no prior diplomatic experience revamped American diplomacy to project “peace through strength.” He emphasized the importance of leverage, the key to any good negotiation. After painstaking, behind-the-scenes work, the Abraham Accords were signed: a historic series of peace deals between Israel and the five Muslim nations.

In Sledgehammer, Friedman tells the true story of how the Abraham Accords came about. He takes us from the Oval Office to the highest echelons of power in the Middle East, putting us at the table during the intense negotiations that led to this historic breakthrough. The inside story of arguably the greatest achievement of the Trump Administration, Sledgehammer is an important, inspiring account of the hard, hopeful work necessary to bring long overdue—and lasting—peace to one of the most turbulent and tragic regions of the globe.

Torture Tuesday's trio is back in action. Get to know Jennie, Shawn, and Jason when they interview each other. And what is the humming sound across the world? Hums have been reported all over the world, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada. They are sometimes named according to the locality where the problem has been particularly publicized, such as the "Taos Hum" in New Mexico and the "Windsor Hum" in Ontario.

WELCOME TO THE HUTCH - SO GLAD YOU CAME!! ... This is my musical home, a "work-in-progress" and aims to be a tasty pot of musical ideas from The Hutch, sometimes plain, old, original, sometimes off-centre or more likely inspired by Old Skool rock... but the Spanish Costa Sunshine where I live, the people I meet and sometimes a chaotic wandering life is in there somewhere.

If nothing else, this is first and foremost, for my own greater good, to ease a wary soul, shield me from the slings and arrows of modern life and so keeping me sane.  For too long, I neglected my passion and wandered a musical wilderness... Now I'm scratching my way back to a musical life where I should never have left!

Enough rambling I'll let the chords and the notes do the talking.

The E2KG Network is a collection of gamers, streamers, and podcasters, who have banded together in the hopes that we are stronger together. The network is starting off with three shows: Enough 2 Keep Going, our long-format weekly podcast that features a deep discussion on various topics in gaming, as well as our past week's gaming playlist. Then there's E2KGn30, where we run down the week's biggest (or at least the most personally interesting to us) stories in gaming news, the industry, and the biz, and try to get you in and out in 30 minutes (+ / - ten minutes). Finally there is the Dark Hypotheses, our weekly show discussing the SciFi Network show, Dark Matter. We hope to have more shows soon. So if you stream or post captures of your gameplay, if you want to talk games and get in on either the long show or the news show, or if you're interested in tech or TV/Movies, hit me up on Twitter, because we would love to have you.
