Analog Assault Episode 61: Borderlands 3 is Coming Recorded on Thursday, March 28, 2019.   Gamers (ourselves included) have been predicting Borderlands 3 for some time. A return to the cell-shaded, gritty gun-toting looter shooter has been on the minds of fans for years. Now, that time has come. Gearbox has announced that not only are they releasing 4k versions of previous games, but have been hard at work developing the third entry in the Borderlands series.

Analog Assault Episode 59: Games as a Service vs. Traditional Pay-to-play Recorded on Thursday, March 7, 2019.   With the popularity of games developed and released as a service, we are taking this week to discuss what we like and dislike about this model.   We are seeing an increase in the number of games as a service, but we have also experienced some shaky launches and other issues with recent releases.
