With Xbox's famous ringworld officially arriving on PlayStation 5 in 2026, we can rest assured that Sony's longtime rival has finally conceded the console space for good. Halo: Campaign Evolved -- clever! -- is a ground-up remake of the smash-hit 2001 Xbox launch title, and it comes with some new bells and whistles, including fresh content and a four-player online-enabled campaign. Microsoft even trotted Halo's community manager out in a PlayStation shirt, promised all upcoming Halo content is Sony-bound, and yielded perhaps their last meaningful franchise to the competition. This gives us much to discuss! Plus: Helldivers 2 dev Arrowhead begins work on its next project, Horizon's live-action movie is slated to film next year and launch in '27, Resident Evil 0 Remake rumors are percolating, we may be waiting a while longer for Starfield's PS5 debut, Electronic Arts scores a renewed deal with the NFL to continue the Madden franchise, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Why does anyone care about Photo Mode? What's our dream PowerWash Simulator 2 DLC? Is it okay to play a game without delving into its greater meaning and themes? Will Chris ever return from New York?

In the middle of the night? Let's go!

WhiskeyShoots

What was the pickup? Just curious have a great weekend LSM crew!

Josef Barker

Platinum trophy in halo will be crazy to have 🤣

Boots!

Kept us waiting, huh?

Brandon McDade

Why isn’t the feed on my podcast app on Apple? 🤷🏾‍♂️

FoundWaldo

Yall thought i was sleeping? Im UP 🫡.

Gr8S

“we can rest assured that Sony's longtime rival has finally conceded the console space for good.” For putting Halo on PS5 when another Xbox console is in the works? Ugh, it’s phrases like these that get Colin called a Sony pony.

Carlos

Chris in the Chief’s visor is hilarious ngl

Mikey Milkers

Dang man I'm here for the games, but blend some beets, strawberries, and a red apple with water in the morning and you're golden. Throw a Stevia and honey if you want the DLC

Cameron Sturre

It’s a goddamn crime Dustin didn’t even giggle at Colin’s ‘fart attack’ joke. It got an ugly laugh out of me

Phil

Balls

Kyle Phegley

Colin: "I don't like music snobbery, but if you aren't a musician, you're opinion doesn't matter." Makes sense.

Nicholas Perfect

Chris went all “sovereign citizen’ this week with him “traveling”

MnTwinsfan92

Genuinely curious, when rumors are the next Xbox is $1200, do you really think they are competing in the console space anymore?

Jamie

Love seeing a 4 hour banger waiting for me in the morning

Benji_B2sick

Dustin just sick of his shit at this point

Vladimir Grabbinmikov

The most exciting part of halo Campaign Evolved is that its gameplay is supposed to be the baseline for the next multiplayer installment. L.F.G. This answers the more is coming question from Colin

Ryan

The fall of Colin 😔

Andy Carroll

Gotta start using better titles for these 😂😂

David Kraytsberg

digital death mask, fart attack, already a legendary episode

KYisLife

I don’t like the poop talk, but I approve of fart attack

Eric

I don't know if I'd call Wes Borland an aficionado he's just more of a showman. He doesn't really play anything THAT crazy he just dresses like a fucking alien every show. He sticks out like a sore thumb so you HAVE to know who he is. Limp Bizkit fucks though. RIP Sam Rivers

Michael Mashpotato

Dude, Dread in 3D is an epic masterpiece. It even transfers well to 3-D TVs at home. I have a Panasonic Viera all nestled safely in my basement and I’m gonna bust that bad boy out one day again for some 3-D goodness.

Clayton Garrett

Porcupine Tree...more surprising than Soil...but I'll allow it.

Matt Wiles

‘Fart attack’ 😂 And… ‘no man is living off my money….that would be gay’

AL022

I believe that's also what most xbox pundits have said in the past also. Sounds like a you problem, not a him problem.

AL022

For Halo. They normally record on Thursdays

Joe Mamma

It’s literally appeal to authority which is a logical fallacy

Brock Thomas Walsh

Colin, thanks for reading my write-in! I gotta be honest, I have no idea how it could have been me, or done something wrong. You have to verify your account by manually changing your PSN profile, which I did and have everything all linked up. You mentioned me changing my name? Did you mean on PSN profies, or on PSN? Very confusing. Also, kind of just frustrated they are ignoring my couple (see what I did there) emails. EDIT: I may have figured it out! I think I had a privacy thing enabled on my profile that may have prevented my profile from updating. I have to pop a trophy and check to see if it gets things going again. Thanks again! EDIT EDIT: Got it to work! Simply needed to update the privacy settings on my PS5. I have no idea how that even got turned on, but I'm stoked it is working now. Thanks for pushing me to figure it out!

Andy Carroll

That Smash JT video was so hard to watch. Wilful ignorance is so frustrating

Lunar Tear

Masahiro Sakurai, on one of his podcast episodes, has talked about being one of those guys who doesn't drink water. If I recall correctly, he said it makes him nauseaous.

Walk Forward Cutscene

You can’t just claim that AC Shadows sold well when you have no idea what its budget was.

Cloud

Colin needs to stop sleeping before every show he's on because he is on a HEATER today 😂

BamAHamYum

Thanks Colin, the SmashJT anime opening is stuck in my head and won’t leave. I think I may have permanent damage to my frontal lobe.

Gr8S

Poorly, perhaps, but yes. (SKOL!)

Asha Shwarma’s Karma

Mate, you might wanna get checked for gallstones or gallbladder disease. You’ve got remarkably similar symptoms to when my gall bladder exploded in my body.

Benthegamer

I’m dying from Colin dying 24 mins in

Bogey

Okay I might be a fucking idiot, but after hearing the psnprofiles topic I decided to go check out premium to see if I want to upgrade to it. I can’t find anywhere on that site to sign up for premium. How the fuck do you sign up for a premium account on psnprofiles? Anyone know? Edit: yup im a fucking idiot. Apparently I bought a premium years ago and forgot about it lmao

Beef Burka

is it that, or just playing to his audience.

Beef Burka

I like to switch between psnprofiles and psntrophyleaders

NeO JD

I’m scared if they include all the skulls 😅

Brock Thomas Walsh

I didn't know there was even a premium until he brought it up during the discussion about my write-in lol

Drew B

lol. Love the enthusiasm of going into seeing a 3d movie then the cut in to the disappointment 😂

Breno Bezerra Bluhm

As someone who saw Lenin’s body in Moscow I have to say it’s actually impressive and bizarre cause it really feels like he just died. If ya’ll can make the same magic with Colin it would be very nice.

Jason H

Sacred Symbols a bbq podcast post Colin

Frank G.

So is the war officially over? Or are we in some weird ceasefire and Xbox is gonna pick what's exclusive and be super annoying as usual. Ima need that Halo in in a physical disc though.

dye_dire

The great journey has begun

Big titty drinker

Horizon is my favorite PlayStation franchise currently can’t wait for the movie. The tears of the haters are gonna be sweet🙂‍↕️

My wafflehouse hashbrowns

Thomas the Scotsman , Fellow Scot here . I hope you’re dealing with your possible incoming breakup as well as you can dude . In my experiences when those cracks show it is mostly best to let her go and walk . If you want someone to talk to I’m happy to listen . Peace and love

Lemonworld

Colin, your stomach problems sound exactly like mine. PPIs along with GasX helps!

BazzBlaster

Colin's not a fan of music, he's a fan of nostalgia. That's how a majority of people consume music, so that's fine, he just has to see it for what it is.

Caleb Shelton

If the pain in your chest persists, Colin, you should go get checked out. It could be pericarditis, where the sac that surrounds your heart becomes inflamed.

Matt Kuryloski

Colin— love to hear you’re such a big fan of Ben Folds Five. They’ve been my favorite for 20+ years now and I’ve seen Ben Folds countless times. His autobiography is also great. They’re so different than your other favorites!

Bisexual Lighting Rigger

I deleted my twitter a couple years ago now but I wish I could read whatever spin those Xbox fanbait accounts are saying about Halo going to PS5.

Xbox's Sloppy Seconds

I think these guys are just retarded due to the game they need to play online for their audience. 'why does the data company charge for access to data?' is the the level of retardation you wouldn't expect when talking to an actual adult human being.

NeO JD

Col, doesn’t hurt to eat some bananas and drink more water

Dead

Colin - I don’t like when people give med advice but, man, you’re describing exactly my experience with ulcerative colitis.

Michael Thew

Alloy is going to be cast by Bella Ramsey

The Incredible Shulk

Curious what moment Colin is referring to in Yotei. If it has to do with the mission after Atsu gets the pass to go to next region....yeah, that was so well done

The Incredible Shulk

If you're just talking units sold, sure you can. Doesn't mean it made a good profit, though

Xstar25

Lauren Phillips is the only correct choice to play Aloy

Kojima Made Me Gay

I’m a big fan of Lenin and Stalin. Let’s be clear, every American president is also a murderer.

Walk Forward Cutscene

The Ninja Gaiden 4 discussion was painful, and even more so when DMC was brought up. Maybe don’t reference something if you have no command of the facts?

Walk Forward Cutscene

*Puts hand on shoulder: You will not be getting the platinum if LASO is a requirement.

Jose Horrach

You guys were thinking of Nero, not Virgil in DMC.

Glen Yelenovic

I was there in the 80’s & 90’s on LI and can confirm the only time I drank water was playing sports, and even that stopped when Gatorade became popular.

Glen Yelenovic

Will we get a Lockmort edit of Colin dying? 🤔

Jam

Is everyone ignoring Brad’s punishment for Colin to complete KH1 by the end of the year? The original bet was to complete 4 hours by September 1st which he failed. The only way to receive forgiveness from the Lig is through intercession with Brad the Host. Brad assigned penance to complete the game by years end. Colin cannot come up with his own penance like some sort of protestant. The Lig sins live in you until Brad the Host has given you forgiveness.

I think a lot of people aren’t ready for the future as well. Tbh I’m still going to get a new Xbox however I think it being a simple open ecosystem with some benifits like not needed a ps5 cause we know most of their games are going to pc as well. It’s just going to be a change in gaming. Exclusives don’t matter as much as they use to. I know people are more wrapped up in the inside baseball talk cause that’s why we get involved in this hobby. However at the end of the day it’s all about the games. My Xbox, PlayStation, switch, and pc can play a massive amount of the same games I love. I get to pick and choose. Phil has brought a lot of Sony third party exclusive over to the windows/xbox store. I don’t think the devs would waste time doing that. Especially cause pc has grown a lot in Japan

Save The Game Media

They’ve addressed this multiple times. Do you not watch the streams? Colin is meant to beat the game by January 1st 2026.

Kid-Organic

Just listened to your debate with Smash HT…”it was easier than you think!”, 😂 I got to say, I don’t see eye to eye with most of your politics, but I’ve always liked how you comport yourself when having a spirited debate, or just having an deeper analysis on something. That’s why I listen and that’s why I’ll continue to listen. 🫡

Jam

I mentioned in my comment that Brad assigned him the task of beating the game before years end. This was like a month ago though and Colin hasn’t acknowledged since he will play the game agin. There’s only a handful of episodes left before they go on break.

Wayde

I like is ghost of yotei where you can toggle off photo mode in the settings. That way you can never accidentally open it

Daddy T

The actress is a fucking nut job lmao, but I hear she delivers a good performance, separate the art from the artist and what not. I’ve yet to play it too but I’ll wait till it drops in price, as far as the whole woke argument goes, I think people should look to Veilguard as the gold standard for woke slop, this is not that, far from it.

Trill Spencer

I can’t wait to hear Dustin’s thoughts on the Chainsaw Man movie. I just saw it for the second time and all I can say is absolute cinema

Trill Spencer

And Collin, I feel you with the constant farting. I’m also pretty sure it comes from my protein shake but I have no idea how I could hit my protein targets without it so I’ve just been suffering with horrible farts for like 2 months now.

Walk Forward Cutscene

“Separate the art from the artist.” You’re ignoring how Reuben Langdon, Scott Cawthorn, and Troy Leavitt were treated.

Daddy T

Bro I’m team Reuben allllll the way, if they make a DMC 6 and he isn’t Dante then that’s a hard out for me. As far as I know though he’s back on good terms with Capcom.

NecrumOddBoy

I don’t know why this is beyond Colin to comprehend but Ghost isn’t woke because it’s a female protagonist. I don’t think anybody actually gives a crap that you play as a female other than it’s kind of funny how PlayStation games do make the next character in their stories females often. The problem is a developer and a lot of the development team is super far left in their political views that they have posted outward, especially about the Charlie Kirk assassination, and the actual voice actor publicly has announced on Twitter that she is an antifa member an extremely far left in her views. It’s just the fact that the people that are making the game have political views that are aggressively anti-American. It’s one of those separate the art from the artist kind of situations.

Dustin I just got platinum on NieR: Automata. No trophy buying, did it all legit.

Guybrush Threepwood

BEFORE YOU BUY A SOUNDBAR - decide if you want to be able to use 120 hz mode on your tv AS WELL AS 5.1 or better. I bought a pretty decent samsung 5.1 sound bar (Left, Center, Right on the main soundbar + Sub + 2 back speakers), and I learned that when I hook this up directly to my series X, I cannot access 120 hz mode anymore. If I use the "arc" connection on my tv, I can get stereo only, but not 5.1. Maybe if my tv had eARC instead of ARC, i could then get the full 5.1 while using 120 hz mode. This is why I'm going to just invest in a Denon receiever at some point. So I dont have to worry. Some soundbars that are "120 hz capable" also do not work, b/c they lack firmware. Its a mess.

IronLion44

I saw turnstile in 2017 had no idea who they were. I liked them. Few years later and they were huge. Sounds like they went a little bit the way of FIDLAR. Started off off traditional punk but then went to more of a pop sound

J92

I know it’s very easy to say people are too sensitive to spoilers these days but massively pointing out ‘a twist’ in the story is a pretty significant spoiler without saying anything specific about what it is. Someone like myself then spends a lot of time looking for it and without further spoiling it for anyone else, the minute a scenario started that led to it I suspected it due to this podcast reference putting me on high alert for ‘the twist’ which I don’t think I would have otherwise. Normally you’re the best pod out there for this due to playing alongside the day 1 purchasers but I’d urge you to be more cautious of any flagging of ‘twists’ moving forwards. Thanks! Signed Someone that plays too many games and listens to all your shows.
