Instead, Respawn is stuck in the Apex Legends and Star Wars mines for the foreseeable future, and we're left to replay this wonderful campaign (and multiplayer for some) and wonder what might have been. Titanfall 2 lives up to the hype, folks! My guests for this episode are Adam Bucceri and Cory Revis, hosts of the Half Tone Takes (https://redcircle.com/shows/halftone-takes) podcast, which is a deep dive into one of the hosts' interests each episode. The conversations are fun and enriching, and the show is worth your time. Adam also designs video and tabletop games on his Itch.io page (https://boocherry.itch.io/), and Cory makes a webcomic called Dawn of Time (https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/dawn-of-time/list?title_no=597966).
