Socerton, Calerb, and Askallad have been distracted lately, by Slay the Spire 2! We talk a bit about AoE IV, then do a quick review about Slay the Spire 2 and then talk about video game sequels and the iteration of games. All that and more in this week's episode!
Askallad does it, he finally "sells out" and gets paid for a full day's work for casting after having been a long time contributor to the Age of Empires IV Scene. He and Socerton talk about that as well as the knight and cavalry meta that has solidified (and dominated team games) for the last few seasons.

The official podcast of comedian Joe Rogan.
Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
