When the host is away, the rest of the cast will…explore the pain threshold of chocobo racing in Final Fantasy X, examine the extras in the Elden Ring collector’s edition, express some spoiler-free thoughts on Stray, and exhibit a variety of hot takes on all the news that’s fit to hastily throw in a google…

Roy did what? …Well we can’t put that in the description. Just say something like “We talk about Mario’s voice, SGDQ, Switch pro rumors yadda yadda” the usual BS.

Plus a lil Kirby, a lil news, and maybe just a -few- words about the From game that shall no longer be named……

April Fools! We do actually mostly talk about Elden Ring again. Hey, where else on the internet is anyone discussing this obscure indie?! We DO have new opinions, at least, with Mark back and 17-Bit honcho Jake Kazdal joining in. Also, Breath of the Wild 2 delay and Sony’s revamped PS+. Running Time: 01:44:23  Direct…
