Vidjagame Apocalypse

Astro Bot's trajectory from minor character in a tech demo to the face of the best-reviewed platformer on PS5 inspired this week's Top 5, about platformer mascots who went from secondary characters to headlining their own games. After that, we'll get into Funko Fusion, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown's Mask of Darkness DLC, The Plucky Squire,announcements from the EA investor event, and your favorite memories of the Dreamcast.

Question of the Week: What's a word you learned from a videogame? (Can be a word you just didn't know before, or a gaming term that you learned by playing a specific game.)

Break song is I'm Your GPU by Kenneth C M Young. Vidjagame Apocalypse theme by Matthew Joseph Payne.
