Point It Out!

Polygon

Point It Out! is a gaming news show for people who already know the news — or think they do. Every week, Polygon host Simone de Rochefort, Editor-in-Chief Matt Patches, and an expert guest yank the biggest stories out of the discourse cycle and unpack them through rowdy, ridiculous PowerPoint presentations. Points are awarded, winners are crowned, and the loser wears a dunce cap. (No, seriously.) The stakes are meaningless, but the insight is real: In true Polygon fashion, Point It Out lovingly lampoons the gaming news show while secretly teaching you everything you need to know about the current state of video games.
