2 GAME

On this week's episode, Matt & Christian are here to discuss 2 new releases: Dragon's Dogma 2 & Rise of the Ronin. Dragon's Dogma was getting great reviews until people saw the micro transactions. Matt talks about whether those complaints are valid or not. Rise of the Ronin released to mostly mid to negative reviews. We talk about how this doesn't look like a game for us. We also talk about the first 3 episodes of X-Men '97 (NO SPOILERS!).

On this week's episode, Christian and Matt dive into some recent anime they have watched. We remember the late Akira Toriyama and his influence on anime and manga. Christian talks about Helldivers 2 before and after the recent update.

In this deep dive, we recap and review episodes 5-8 of season 1 while using the books to expand on the lore of Middle Earth.
