Our sidequest this week took us to outer space to talk about real-life Xenomorphs, racoon city to discuss the new Resident Evil Game, and across the pond to talk about the idea of Tom Holland as Bond. Or Tom Bondland? Tom Hollbond? We also checked in on some Duke Nukem news and talked about how stupid and useless LLMs are.

Our sidequest this week took us to improv class! We also took a stroll through Concerned Ape's game factory to get an update on Haunted Chocolatier, stopped by PlayStation HQ to find out what's up with the PS Plus price hike, and journeyed to Ivalice to talk about the new Final Fantasy Tactics Remake! Unrelated, putting furniture together is the worst, yeah?

Our sidequest took us to Fortnite island (that's what it's called, right?) where we encountered racist, pottymouth Darth Vader. Then we ventured over to PAX East for some fantastic news about GiantBomb.com. Finally, we headed out to Wyoming to talk about Joel, Ellie, and The Last of Us. (spoiler alert, we love these games)

We took our sidequest to a galaxy far, far away this week to talk about robot curse words and George Lucas' descent into filmmaking madness. Then we turned our attention to some dark news regarding game cancellations, the Russian government seizure of a game developer, and some game coverage outlet layoffs (and individuals to support), but then we picked ourselves up with some fun hot takes and, of course, animal facts.

Our sidequest this week took us to the land of neckbeards. No, not the modern cultural pejorative, but actual, literal neckbeards. Topics also on offer include pricing for the Switch 2, rumblings of a Xbox handheld, Copilot for gaming, and things we've learned from video games. Did you know we need air to survive??

Our sidequest this week led us to the OTHER Game Awards (the Geoff Keighley version) where we learned that Troy Baker can do a hell of a Harrison Ford impression.

Oh, and Snoop Dogg is ma...
