On this week’s The Drill Down podcast, Facebook protects its bottom line while secretly spying on you, a huge trove of leaked Russian documents, a possible cause — and cure — for Alzheimer’s, Tosin’s report from PAX South… and much, much more.

On this week’s Drill Down podcast, Tosin goes to PAX South, the NSA gets to keep spying on Americans, Nintendo switches to cardboard for gaming, how AI is manipulating you into microtransactions … and much, much more.

At this year’s PAX South, I spoke with Carlos Rocha, the CEO and founder of Below the Game. Carlos founded the company in 2009 with a desire to make meaningful storytelling games.

With a passion for literature, he sought to combine his readings with games in an interactive way never seen before, and during an experimental project four years ago Haimrik was born.

On this week’s Drill Down podcast, Tosin recaps PAX South, drones at the Super Bowl, the tech world opposes President Trump‘s immigration ban, Snap goes IPO, factory robots on the rise, Tesla breaks another speed record, and more.

At this year’s PAX South, I got to play a cooperative puzzle game called Death Squared created by SMG Studio. In Death Squared, each player controls a bot who is trying to escape a laboratory, but with every move comes the chance that a trap will be triggered and a fellow companion will be doomed. To pass each stage, all characters must reach their respective portals unharmed.
