On Episode 191 of the Spectator Mode Podcast, the crew returns to talk about the rumored pricing of the Asus ROG Xbox handhelds, the newly announced AMD and Xbox partnership (and why we think it's more PR than progress), and whether a game’s price should factor into review scores. Plus, Keith gets hit with a wave of nostalgia and shares the story of how The Outerhaven gaming outlet came to be.

All that and plenty of chaotic banter in this week’s gaming and geek culture podcast! #GamingPodcast #GeekCulture #TheOuterhaven #xbox #xboxhandheld

Topics:

• Games we've played, stuff we've watched
• ROG Xbox handhelds are going to be expensive
• Xbox & AMD partnership seems to be a bit hyped
• Should game reviews include price points
• The origins of us (The Outerhaven)
