Does the 'G' stand for gorillas? Time will tell

This week on the Electronic Wireless Show podcast we talk all things GTAVI augury, what with the community going bananas for secret GTAVI clues, and Rockstar finally announcing that they'll have a trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto arriving in December. Our predictions are in fact not as outlandish as you might think, although there are gorillas, obviously.
Alongside this we talk about the games we're playing right now (largely Darktide, it turns out), and dish up some recommendations. We also spent like a third of our recording time playing a deranged Age Of Empires 2-themed RPG using an abbreviated D20 system of Nate's devising, but don't worry, I edited it down quite a lot. Apologies for my poor mic quality!
You can listen above, or on on Spotify, iTunes, Stitcher, or Pocket Casts. You can find the RSS feed here, and you can discuss the episode on our Discord channel, which has a dedicated room for podcast chat.

We record on a Wednesday morning, so some things may have changed by the time you listen to the episode.
- GTA fans were desperate for an October reveal and consequently began reading promo images from Rockstar like ancient mystics reading runes.
- Eventually Rockstar took pity on them and revealed that a GTAVI trailer is coming in December.
- Take-Two's CEO says games give you a lot of bang for your buck.
- Rockstar had once planned a zombie island survival game but it was too depressing, per a former technical directors blog (which has now been taken down because Rockstar didn't like him revealing 20-year-old secrets).
This week we've been playing the co-op Warhammer shootybangs of Darktide, weirdo roguelike card crawler with a scary bird Ring Of Pain, and in-browser puzzle game The Roottrees Are Dead
Recommendations this week are the Netflix Anime Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, upcoming sort-of-uplit novel Spirit Level, and South Of Scrimshaw Part One which Nate is somewhat erroneously claiming is not a game. Also, congrats to listener Zach for the release of his solo RPG Malkin!
