What we’re into: Hooking up 14 video game consoles to a single TV and Westworld's interesting ethical quandaries

Can love bloom on a battlefield? How about Monster branded energy drinks? Find out on this week's podcast, as we explore Battlefield 1, the most recent entry into EA's beloved shooter franchise, and how it explores and tackles the Great War while trying to be a fun, multiplayer, explosion-fueled romp.

Anthony explains what goes into hooking up an ungodly amount of video game devices to a single television set, and we close with a look into HBO's Westworld. Is it cheating if you bang a robot?
