This week Riana Manuel joins us to chat about what the heck is going on with Cyberpunk 2077 and CD Projekt Red. We also recap the Nintendo indies showcase and discuss Ri's time with Tetris Effect: Connected and Immortals Fenyx Rising. Lastly we ponder what video game stories we want to see that haven't been done and all I'll say is: SPICE GIRLS.

Britt joins Andrea to chat about the new Nintendo Indie World Showcase, Take-Two's layoffs, and why everyone is suddenly obsessed with playing Fallout games. (I think you know why...) Britt got a special sneak peek at the upcoming Kingdom Come Deliverance sequel and it sounds like it's a medieval RPG extravaganza.
