3/24/20262 hr 20 min
Before PAX East we've got to podcast! This week we dig into why we think Crimson Desert isn't for us and that's okay! We also chat about anime racer Screamer, surprise hidden gem in Mr. Sleepy Man, Resident Evil 0, and our time with Slay the Spire 2 multiplayer. We also recap the biggest news like Epic Games laying off 1,000 employees, Pokémon Champions news, and more for your gaming ears.
Also, happy birthday to the Jeffs!
