Swisscom is defeated by the Weko in the fibre optic dispute. Bluewin e-mail addresses will cost money in future. "Monkey Man" is the Indian answer to "John Wick" and "Pools" is a horror game without monsters.

In "Monkey Man", Dev Patel fights against a corrupt police chief. The action spectacle set in India is not quite on a "John Wick" level.

The action is more powerful in "Endless Ocean Luminous". The focus here is on leisurely exploration of the ocean. Unfortunately, the game offers little variety. In "Pools", things are also wet. Instead of fish, you marvel at abandoned bathing establishments. An unusual game with a creepy factor.

Anniversary episode

In the next episode, we celebrate our 200th anniversary. We will be reporting on six hellish tasks that we have set each other. For once, A Tech Affair listeners will take over the transitions in between. The best three entries can look forward to one of the following prizes provided by our sponsors Microsoft, Adobe and Canon.

We then read out an anecdote that happened to a person from the podcast. The solution as to which anecdote belongs to whom will follow a week later. You can join in the guessing. The winners will receive Digitec vouchers worth 300 francs.

As a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
