&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This week’s episode brought to you by &lt;a href="http://www.sliceonbroadway.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Slice on Broadway&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="https://www.sidekickmediaservices.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Sidekick Media Services&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;





&lt;p&gt;Chatting the tech news of the week including streaming video, offensive Animal Crossing, new video game news, and more! with Dave Podnar and Mike Sorg!&lt;/p&gt;





&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dave loves what &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/runwithp3r/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;P3R (the company behind the Pittsburgh Marathon)&lt;/a&gt; is doing for social media outreach during the Coronavirus era&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sorg is marveling at the &lt;a href="https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2020-08-04-ubisoft-signs-multi-year-partnership-with-cloud-gaming-provider-parsec?fbclid=IwAR2HTk23US4tvAZekS8iDvQFAwfX3PhgGUmIPgClMbeaAroZ-5w64Rv9uXU" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;biggest takeaway from Ubisoft making a deal with Parsec&lt;/a&gt;, using streaming services for preview play for journalists. Ubisoft used this and Cyberpunk used GeForce Now.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;And in the spirit of Dudders, we look at &lt;a href="https://www.polygon.com/2020/7/30/21348142/animal-crossing-new-horizons-acnh-fireworks-dicks-custom-patterns-summer-update?fbclid=IwAR0Z7t5yaxqCn7lin_bMF55vQisz4d4UjYrM-M0k1YnQoLPMgrNULXU50Gw" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Animal Crossing's new fireworks, which immediately get the dick firework treatment&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://kotaku.com/animal-crossing-characters-can-hilariously-eat-shit-aga-1844561951" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;characters falling on their face&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.androidcentral.com/google-pixel-4a" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Google announces Pixel 4a phone&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Finally Apple &lt;a href="https://9to5mac.com/2020/08/04/apple-updates-imac-2020/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;updates one of its webcams and some new internals on the 27" iMac&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Disney to release &lt;a href="https://www.cnet.com/google-amp/news/disney-will-release-mulan-online-via-disney-plus-sept-4-for-30-in-us/?fbclid=IwAR2G2Wd4gFTTn3TfVapVPdTKxEYGddD8TliOLofqo7KACVnTrFk8tBOMnks" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Mulan online via Disney Plus on Sept. 4, for $30 in US&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;More information on &lt;a href="https://www.cnet.com/news/gamers-will-be-able-to-stream-microsofts-xbox-games-pass-titles-starting-sept-15/?fbclid=IwAR0N-RpsTiMUuKWZViBmR535rb6wy-7UZxRnHcHR2mWh-uyeydMjHi7zcCY" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;xCloud Streaming coming to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://kotaku.com/the-new-battletoads-game-is-finally-coming-out-august-2-1844570666" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Battletoads will be part of it August 20&lt;/a&gt;! &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Microsoft confirms &lt;a href="https://www.engadget.com/halo-infinite-120fps-205131835.html?fbclid=IwAR0lqzmzLWDOqi0tnSyXBXgt2DWbYdsbZsXOYZG06rMR4Iwr0s7PTV0TkMQ" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;free 'Halo Infinite' multiplayer running at 120FPS&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Alto coming to more platforms. This is such a relaxing game!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We attempt to have a non-political discussion about Tik Tok&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;





&lt;p&gt;After the show remember to:&lt;/p&gt;





&lt;p&gt;Eat at Slice on Broadway (&lt;a href="https://twitter.com/Pgh_Slice" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;@Pgh_Slice&lt;/a&gt;) if you are in the Pittsburgh area! It is Awesome!
