But we also dutifully bring you the video game news of the week, as prepared by LeGrande! Lots to say about Xbox, not so much about the software, events are being canceled, postponed, and reimagined.

This week we catalogue the details of the recent Nintendo Direct Mini, some changes to the upcoming speedrunning event schedules, a recommendation from WHO?, and some quick turnaround mods for some pretty good games.

The video game news of the past few days includes the remnants of the now-canceled GDC including Mark Cerny's PS5 talk, the Steam Game Festival, and the IGF winners. We also discuss a leaked Tales from the Borderlands trailer, Gamestop's coronavirus saga, and a few tidbits from Valve and Gabe Newell to tickle your post-brain interface. Plus, we hit the new releases, freebies, and deals, and we construct a no-fail home curriculum for kids home from school for extended periods. Definitely use it this week.

Jeremy has been playing the oldie-but-goodie(?) Secret of Mana on the Nintendo Switch "Secret of Mana Collection." Get your flammie on!
