Yes, Mark Cerny made a video about PS5 and yes, that Xbox Museum is a lot of fun. Hitman 3 getting VR and RT support? Amazing. But possibly the biggest news this week is the sinister return of Crazy Frog... And yes, the weekend officially begins NOW.

Early access to DF Direct Weekly also means early access to a Supporter-only RSS feed, which you can access via this link and your Patreon credentials. Please ignore any links within Patreon itself. This is the one for you: https://open.acast.com/public/patreon/fanSubscribe/593963
