Luke Lohr (InsipidGhost), co-host Captain Logun, and special guest @JampackSam —fresh off a trip to Halo Studios and the Halo World Championship.
This episode breaks down Halo Campaign Evolved (2026) hands-on impressions (how it feels in Unreal Engine 5, co-op changes, and what’s new), explores the industry chatter around Xbox’s reported 30% profit margin expectations, and discusses AI in game development—what helps versus what harms. The show also covers early reception to The Outer Worlds 2 and wraps with what the crew has been playing.
👉 Clear takes. No console-war noise.
