digitec Podcast Episode 99: "Stranger Things" achieves the impossible
Even without anticipation, the fourth season of "Stranger Things" inspires. We are more critical with "Obi-Wan Kenobi". We also talk about Star Wars Celebration, Diablo Immortal and more.
"Star Wars" free moments can only be found in a galaxy far away. Disney makes sure of that with a steady supply of new content. A lot of it was on display at the Star Wars Celebration trade show. Sony is also working full steam ahead on marketing its own popular brands. Ten new series and movies are in the pipeline. The most curious name among them: "Gran Turismo." Another curious story is that of a Reddit user who accidentally bought a Google Pixel 7. But the joy did not last long.
The enthusiasm for "Stranger Things" continues unabated. The fourth season is currently running there, which we didn't wait for at all and still devour. "Obi-Wan Kenobi", on the other hand, is a bit edgier, but can at least satisfy "Star Wars" superfan Luca.
I have three new games on offer this week. The most original is "Hardspace Shipbreaker" and the most controversial is undoubtedly "Diablo Immortal". Find out why in the podcast.
Contest and livestream for the 100th episode.
Next week we'll be recording our 100th episode. To celebrate, we've come up with something special. This includes two competitions with prizes worth a total of over 2500 Swiss francs. They are sponsored by Sony, Microsoft, Adobe and Logitech. We're also throwing in six Game Pass subscriptions for good measure. The first contest needs your input. Find out how you can win in the podcast.
We'll be streaming the anniversary episode live on our YouTube channel at 6 p.m. on June 8.

Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
