January 6, 2017 – 2016 Year In Review (Part 1)

Greetings friends, and welcome to 2017!  We here at The Arcade are getting back in the swing of things after an enjoyable holiday break.  This week, we’ll take a look back at some of the bigger stories that played out last year for part one of our 2016 Year In Review.

The Big Topics of 2016:

  • Nintendo: Steady Newsmaker of the Year… Again
  • Pokémon Go: Here For A Good Time, Not A Long Time
  • PlayStation 4 & Xbox One Have A Mid-Life Crisis, Buy A Sports Car
  • Virtual Reality: It Has Begun
  • No Man’s Sky or: How I Learned The Importance Of Having Professional PR People

Dennis’ Nickname:

The man who never thought he would enjoy driving around as a boy band as much as he is.

Programming Note:  We’ll be taking the next three weeks off due to a little thing called “life” getting in the way of our recording schedule.  Mostly, it’s Dennis who is the one to blame for this.  Why?  He’s moving into a new place!  Though this is an exciting time, as anybody who has moved into a new residence can attest to, it’s a time-consuming and an all-encompassing task.  Having said that, let us reassure you that we will be back with a new episode for you on Friday, October 7th.
