Happy New Year and we have a 68.7 Billion USD news for you today!!!!!!!!!
The Gaming Industry has definitely been rocked by this news. Microsoft/Xbox is in process to buy Activision/Blizzard, owners of big franchises such as ''Call Of Duty'', the all time biggest shooter out there right now, if not the biggest game.
This is mind blowing.

Episode 12 is here! and we have a very special discovery for ya'll.
On our continuous journey in discovering what the Nigerian Gaming landscape looks like, we stumbled on a particular video game development which initially seemed to be heavily inspired by African culture, specifically Nigerian. We just had to dig deeper and what we found out was mind shattering in many forms.
A NIGERIAN MADE video game was in development, and it was being developed using ''Unreal Engine'' to be released on major platforms. In fact, we felt like little children after realizing that their house had won the school's annual inter-house sports competition.
A Nigerian made video game? going by the name, Legends of Orisha: Blood and Water (Legends of Orisha). what are the odds!!!.
And the incredible team behind this gem is an independent Nigerian based game development studio, called Dimension11 Studios. We reached out to the Co-Founder/Gameplay Engineer, Mr. David Olamide and he was humble enough to take out time from his busy schedule to have a sit down with us and tell us all about their journey and this project.
We have to say, we couldn't be more prouder to be Nigerian.

Another one!
We had on Gamr Africa on this episode to tell us the hidden potential Nigerians have in the gaming industry, even specifically Esports.
Gamr Africa is a company that hosts a platform that allows gamers to interact with each and enables tournament organizers to host events. In Nigeria, they have been responsible for a number of tournaments and events that has brought gamers together, as well as get talented gamers to be discovered. In fact, with their persistent work rate and zeal, Nigerian gamers have been recognized at the global level in Esports, and even seeded in the next global series for FIFA 22.
We couldn't resist the temptation to get in touch and get to know their story.
If you are a gamer and would love to showcase your talents, have the opportunity to register with Gamr Africa and reach the limits of your potential. (link Below for Gamr Africa)

In this episode, GOATPodcast explores a little bit and stumbles on a very interesting article titled "Why Africa is not yet ready for the eSports boom" which coincidentally comes at a time we were seriously asking questions about what Nigeria's involvement is, or even more, what Africa's involvement is in the globally famous competition for gamers.
Why not ask these questions?, with the revenue numbers we are hearing being raked in periodically from the gaming industry alone, and a significant percentage of that generated by eSports, one can only wonder, or even pray a piece of that is coming to Africa's direction.
We had the intention of running with the idea of hijacking the article and extracting useful information to feed our next episode, but we thought, "wouldn't it be a better idea just to (kidnap) the creator of this article?".
Genius right? That's what we do!!
We introduce to you the one and only, Ms. Kolawole Oluwanifemi, an esteemed journalist of Techpoint Africa. Enjoy!

Yessir! we decided to go back to back with this one, making ourselves proud by dropping two episodes in one week. Awesome!
Here we talk a little about some storage expansion issues going on with the current-gen consoles. Also touched on interviews Mr. Phil Spence, head of xbox, has been taking about his vision where he sees all gamers can be united and put aside the very popular toxic "console-wars" trend. A noble vision but in reality, is this possible?
Listen and Enjoy!!
