Welcome to a special episode of the FPS Podcast. This week it's a pretty huge guest line-up. First up is a who's who of Destiny content creation: Datto, MyNameIsByf and Aztecross join the show to discuss the recent layoffs at Bungie, the delay of the Final Shape expansion and Marathon, as well as the current state of Destiny and the way its talked about both by players and the gaming community at large.
Following that, we're honored to be joined by none other than Sam Lake and Kyle Rowley, the co-directors of Alan Wake II. The FPS crew went absolutely nuts for Alan Wake II, and to be able to speak to the people who led its creation was a rare treat.

Let's meet our hosts:
- Jake Baldino (aka the Before You Buy Guy) is pretty much the most watched reviewer on YouTube across both Gameranx and his personal channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/JakeBaldino). If you're obsessed with Delorians, The Mummy and Pizza you can discuss that stuff with him directly over on Twitter: @JakeBaldino
- Lucy James is a Senior Producer at Gamespot and a Creative Producer at Giant Bomb. She's actually, like, experienced and credentialed and has real life skills and stuff, while the rest of the gang would be funemployed if the YT algorithm didn't kiss them for random, inexplicable reasons.
- Jirard (aka The Completionist: https://www.youtube.com/c/ThatOneVide...) has been doing YouTube since before Noah wore short pants. Over the course of more than a decade, Jirard has completed HUNDREDS of games to bring you the quality of review that almost no other reviewer dare bring you, getting the 100% completion trophy for every title before putting pen to paper. Jirard has a let's play channel and in his spare time he fires off the occasional hot-take over on Twitter: @TheCompletionist
- Skill Up used to work at McDonalds but he got fired for skimming too many chicken nuggets. He says he regrets it since he hasn't had a better job since.
