Our last Christmas-themed episode of the season. We have Aaron on to talk some brief news including the massive Insomniac leak. Then JD does a review for Space Trash Scavenger. We play some Crew, Carry, Kill with characters from Christmas movies or shows. Peterson takes a mulligan.

Two potential Blurstie noms this week in the news with Twitch and The Day Before. We also talk about Joker Gang a little I think. JD and Jenna decide whether Extremely Powerful Capybaras gets a First Impression Rose and then we play some Christmas IRL. Peterson picks his Dice game.

For some reason we are off the rails this week. We are talking The Day Before, Walupeach, Bungie, and Hello Games. Then we do some Be Kind, Rewind about gaming with family over the holidays. JD reviews Deliver Us Mars and we do a reroll.

Jenna joins us this week to talk about the news - Fallout TV show trailer drops, shady Russian microtransactioners, EA using AI to replicate your voice in games, kids in the US being lame and more! Then we do TWO First Impression Roses - Peterson talks about Lethal Company and Jenna talks about The Artful Escape. JD selects his Dice of Destiny game.

Gabe Newell teaches us the wise words "Suck is forever". JD asks us what games we wish they had delayed and then JD reviews Signalis.

We plan a heist. It's pretty basic, but we're hoping it'll get used in the documentary about the heist.

The Game Mill is at it again and we're here for it. We also talk some other gaming news. Then Peterson revisits Baldur's Gate 3. JD picks his Dice game and Trent reviews Darkwood.

In the news - Steam will let you hide your porn games, wrongful review bombing, some Blurstie noms, and our Riblets. Then Trent gives us his rundown of Blizzcon 2023 and Trent gives us another banger of a parody song. We play some Foodio Games, and we do a dice roll.

We're recording on (around) the 5th of November so we gotsta do some V for Vendetta monologuing. We cover the new Silent Hill mess, more layoffs despite the best year ever, Ubisoft sends a ppt deck to the trolls, horny jail, and Overwatch 2 (those last two are not related).

We do a new segment about dying in video games. JD reviews Skul the Hero Slayer.

Happy Halloween! The news is light this week and we keep with our annual tradition of recommending terrible, last-minute Halloween gaming costumes.
