Serious Sunday: Internet vs. Mass Effect Andromeda - Bad lips sink ships? Reviews & the hive mind
This week, Luke laments the poor reception of Mass Effect: Andromeda in its pre-release week as the internet hive mind is abuzz due to a few early reviewers criticizing some graphical and narrative parts of the game, further causing the easily swayed masses to jump on the hate train and brand the game a failure before it's even out the door. Luke talks about the negative effect of reviews on player prejudice of a game, and urges players to use their own eyes, ears and minds.
Luke also looks at whether gamers are more "whiny" in the present day or not, looking back to the days of magazine "letters to the editor" back in the days of the earliest computer games.

Serious Sunday is a freeform, sometimes roundtable discussion between the members of Level 0 NPCs, where a specific topic is pre-selected by the group to be explored and discussed at length. Each of the NPCs approach the topic from both the perspective of a seasoned, die-hard gamer, and as creators of games themselves. Part freeform review, part critical analysis, part video game book club, Serious Sunday is where the NPCs take a step back and take a moment to give a serious look at something that is important to the industry, or games in general.
