Almost Gamers

Beware as we enter The Dungeon, where our party is low on sleep and full of vodka iced tea. We get fan mail, Andy finishes KCD2, and there is much rejoicing. Matt is loving his 33rd Expedition while Andy collects some Monster Train Cards. For this Boss Battle, the duo must pick video game settings they'd like to visit for a year. It's a harder to plan than you think.

Haley returns and this episode's trip to the Emporium enters the exciting realm of... Chairs! Matt gives Andy a hard time during the Respawn, and responds with an Apache Helicopter. More BL4 news sparks a debate about "Collector's Editions." We give Todd Howard mad props and encourage good will in this sometimes harsh industry. We all rejoice the return of an old friend, Game Informer. Andy then hallucinates that Matt has played all the Hideo Kajima games.

This episode, the first guest joins us on the epic journey:  Hayley Wilds. She shares her woes of growing up not having a console of her own, and finding love during gaming. And also hate. During an ill fated Gears of War session with us a decade ago. Then we meme ourselves. Andy gets close to finishing KCD2, while Matt actually finishes Avowed. Things get casual with Royal Match, Snood, and Mario Party.

Then it get a little crazy when the group does a Boss Battle about video game characters they'd wanna vacation with. Perhaps some day they will.
