Ultimate Audio Bang podcast: a festive farewell
Cheers!
This week's episode of the Ultimate Audio Bang is both festive, but tinged with sadness. It's Imogen's final run of the pod and I'm very sad about it. But we (I) gather ourselves and chat FPS news, like how PUBG is going free to play, Overwatch actually has something new, and lots of Halo Infinite stuff. We also get one final update on Imogen's Apex Legends rank. I'd love to say it's positive, but it's actually quite crushing. Merry Christmas.
Of course, it wouldn't be our podcast with doing a weekly theme - sorry, Point Of Interest. Yes, this week we're talking festive stuff. What are we doing to celebrate the hols? Any games lined up? Any backlogs being cleared? It also veers off FPS discussion a bit, but what the hell, it's Christmas so it's fine.
And to finish, Imogen presents three strange player names she's encountered on her FPS travels. We learn a bit more about life even though we don't want to, as is always the case.
That's that, the end of The Imogen Era on the Ultimate Audio Bang. It's been a great deal of fun and I'll really miss chatting nonsense with her every other week.

Activision Blizzard are currently being sued by California's Department of Fair Employment and Housing for an alleged culture of discrimination and harrassment. Employees have since called for CEO Bobby Kotick's removal after a new report came to light alleging several new abuse allegations. Activision Blizzard QA staff staged walkouts in protest of redundancies at Raven Software, and a lawyer representing an Activision Blizzard employee demanded over $100 million in compensation for those workers affected by sexual harassment and discrimination. Recently, Activision Blizzard discouraged workers from unionisation.
Bungie's CEO has also apologised after a damning report about toxic studio culture.
