AJSN WK43A - GTA6 on PC, No More 5090s? Wardogs Blue Team Bribery, TotalWar Shogun 2 DISASTER

Opening

The hosts open with a Helix Sleep ad and some studio banter. Angry Joe is away in England, and they tease the polarized reactions to their recent Gears of War review. They also joke about giving O.J. a fake beard, though he points out that he’s never actually had one.

Gaming and Tech News

GTA 6 on PC

The hosts discuss a rumor that the PC version of GTA 6 could arrive in the first three months of 2027, sooner than Rockstar’s usual wait after a console launch. They’re eager to play it on their PCs and joke that O.J. may be too busy at a Renaissance faire to join them.

Rockstar’s Next Game

Rockstar reportedly says its next project shouldn’t take eight years, since the company already has its engine, tools, team, and other groundwork in place. The hosts hope this means more Red Dead and joke that an old-Western online poker saloon sounds more appealing than another GTA-style casino.

RTX 5090s

Nvidia’s removal of the RTX 5090 from its website sparks concern that the card could be disappearing from the consumer market, though Nvidia says it will continue making them. The hosts note that prices have surged well beyond the original $2,000 and discuss a reported half-million-dollar pallet of 5090s vanishing in Brazil.

That leads to a discussion of AI data centers and their resource demands, along with the internet’s endless supply of bizarre AI-made videos—including one featuring a kung-fu cat.

War Dogs

The hosts complain about frequent resets and a punishing grind that makes it difficult to keep up with high-level weapons and vehicles. The developers tried to attract players to the unpopular Blue Team with cash and XP bonuses, but the incentive drew too many people and was canceled. The game’s gold economy has also apparently collapsed, and one host says he may take a break until the developers sort things out.

A Botched Alien Easter Egg

A lighthearted argument breaks out over a co-op puzzle. One host insists he didn’t press the wrong button, while the others say they watched him do it and joke that the footage proves it wasn’t a deepfake.

Total War: Shogun 2

Sega and Creative Assembly are heavily criticized for releasing a poorly received version that appeared to make cheap, AI-assisted changes while removing access to the original. After an overwhelmingly negative response, they pulled it from sale and said they would restore the original version.

The hosts question why the company released something it knew was below standard and worry that publishers will use AI as an excuse to cut costs and quality.

Film and TV

The hosts briefly roast Taika Waititi’s latest film and discuss reports that his Star Wars project is on hold. They aren’t especially disappointed: they want fewer Star Wars releases and better scripts.

The conversation turns to Disney-era versions of familiar characters, especially Thrawn, whom one host says was far more compelling in the books. They also criticize The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi, while giving the Vader–Obi-Wan fight some credit.

Personalities

Angry Joe is away and mentioned. The other speakers include Other Joe and another co-host whose identity isn’t clear from the subtitles.
