Trivia

• In the first story, Graham states "if we vilified everyone who made a terrible game, SouthPeak Games would never hear the end of it." SouthPeak Games were the developer of X-Blades, the game Graham reviewed in his guest spot on Zero Punctuation.
• Graham predicts that the PS4 demo will show how "FFVII would look on a system that they will never remake it for." Final Fantasy VII Remake was released for PS4 and PS5 in 2020.
