Chamberlain and Chance

Truly the end times are upon us: Chamberlain enjoyed a game that he played on a handheld. Alex spends some more time with an old friend and Chance continues to spurn the advances of anything that doesn't let him dance on the payload. Overwatch news, pre-pre-E3 musing and less politics, we promise.

This week's episode comes with two warnings and a caveat. Warning 1: Massive Prey spoilers are present. Warning 2: Politics and the state of the world once again invade our nice, calm, videogame podcast. And the caveat: Chamberlain isn't here this week, but Chance and Alex prove that he may not be as important as he thinks he is.

Chamberlain and Chance spoil just a bit of Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and all of La La Land, so be warned. Chance loves Prey but still makes time for his main squeeze, Overwatch and Chamberlain is disappointed that Phantom Dust is exactly what he was told it was going to be. He wants to love it, it's him, not the game.

Alex is back with Chamberlain and Chance and that means it's movie night! Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Wonder Woman and Blade Runner 2049 are all fair game. Prey is more cerebral than expected, Nioh sucked, and Little Nightmares was not worth the price of admission. 

Chamberlain is on his own with Chance this week and gets to eat all of the crow regarding Darksiders III being a real thing. Hype levels are set to cautious. Chance plays a lot of games that aren't Overwatch and Chamberlain run into yet another game that is just not for him before enjoying the single player part of an online only game.

Chamberlain, Chance and Alex guarantee a much cleaner, nicer episode than last week in spite of the giggle worthy episode number. At least there are fewer apologies to be made this time. Chamberlain hates everything because he is done with Tales of Berseria but he at least gets to be right about The Deer God. Alex decided that playing something of quality again is better than playing new, bad games. In other words Persona 5 is just too sexy to walk away from. And Chance played with, and held his own against, some true Overwatch pros.

Storytime with Chamberlain concludes as he spoils the ending of Tales of Berseria. Velvet's outfit is still terrible. Everything else is good. Alex finished Persona 5, no spoilers coming, but he does admit to falling for all of the upcoming DLC. Chance makes it 45 minutes into the episode before mentioning Overwatch, a new record, but also spent some quality time with Flinthook. There is also a very strange conversation about Chamberlain's pants. You have been warned.

Get ready for week 2 of Persona 5/Tales of Berseria discussion. Even Chance stopped playing Overwatch just long enough to sample the stylish JRPG. Alex is missing sixty plus hours from his life and Chamberlain actively roots against the 'heroes'. Headlines, Overwatch news and just a tiny bit of world events to keep things interesting. No gets dragged out of a plane. Yet.

Chamberlain, Chance and Alex may not be able to stream or publish pictures of Tales of Berseria and Persona 5 but they can still talk about them. Chance owns one of these but has fallen directly off the wagon into the warm embrace of Overwatch. Not even Persona 5's rare collectors edition could tempt him away. Come for the news and wait to the very end for stories of childhood wardrobe failures.
