This week we spend some time reviewing demos we played in Steam's Next Fest event. JD reviews Raft.

It's midweek madness - don't ask, just play. This week, every single video game is being adapted into a movie or TV series. We play Reindeer Games, Jenna gives a first impression rose to Praey for the Gods, and JD asks if the first impression of a game is the only one that actually matters.

It's just JD and Peterson this week and we go rogue and go...long. We are talking the Good, Bad, and Ugly of Roguelikes. Peterson reviews Alina of the Arena and his Dice of Destiny game, Bioshock.

Hold on to your butts 'cause it's a long one. We talk about the Activision Blizzard/Microsoft acquisition (a lot), Wordle windfall, Battlefield 2042 rumor, Lego game crunch, and the state of the industry. Trent graces us with a brilliant song (written by JD, performed by Trent, stuck in the head of Peterson). Peterson gives us his gaming resolutions, we talk about Activision IPs Microsoft should revive, and Peterson reviews Project Zomboid.

Phil Spencer channels his inner sigma energy, Logan Paul drops $3.5 million on fraudulent Pokemon cards, Lego drops Blizzard, and gaming has infiltrated the makeup space. Later, we talk about foods we got addicted to during the pandemic, make some gaming New Year's resolutions, and things take a dark turn into The Road territory.

It's time to wrap up 2021 with a bow, so we reveal our BLURSTIES winners for last year, review how accurate our predictions were, and talk about our gaming highlights for 2021. Then we make some new predictions for 2022 and JD fantasizes about the new Fallout TV series.
