episode 299: Pre-Order Season

Xbox pre-orders opened up this week… did they go better than the pre-orders for the PlayStation 5 did? NO! Then, it's what's happening with TikTok in the exact moment we recorded this episode, which will not doubt have changed completely by the time you listen to it. Oh, and Microsoft acquired Bethesda. Cool!
