Reid, Astrid, and Ed have been deployed to discuss Void Interactive's Ready or Not, a tactical shooter about a SWAT team working in modern America. (Pardon the dead air at the very end of the episode!)

Ed is joined by critic Grace Benfell to discuss romance in videogames, player choice, "wholesome games," and more.

Astrid, Ed, and Reid have sat down at this crazy dinner table we call life to dig into a heaping helping of topics including, most importantly, Steam and Itch removing "adult" games, but also other stuff, like: the Kong family, popular podcast guests, more objective dog and cat ratings, and the nation of Angola.

Ed, Yussef, and Reid are pulling up to a nursing home near you to discuss the best ways to sell 100M copies of Battlefield 6, continue our objective ranking of dogs and cats, mention a few exciting celebrity encounters, and dig into some facts about Andorra.

In an episode that both doesn't sound good and is way too long, Reid and Ed discuss topics including: hockey fights, Algeria, and photos of gamer battlestations. We also review 28 Days Later and answer a lot of questions. We'll pick up the objective dog and cat reviews next time.

Ed and Reid are sitting on an overturned log, objectively reviewing dogs and cats, talking about the virtues of staring at nothing, desert island videogames, and, of course, dedicating this episode to the nation of Albania.

Yussef, Astrid, Ed, and Reid have convened for an episode mainly about the state of games media but also about Michael Ironside and the beginning of our new segment discussing every country on Earth in alphabetic order.

Sure, we've got a new pope now, but we didn't know that back when we recorded this episode on woke popes, videogame and life remasters, and nostalgia.

It's just Ed and Reid on the mic for this episode, so, as is our wont, we talk about Metal Gear the whole time. Surely, this well will never run dry.
