Hey Podtimists,

This week we change up the formula AGAIN. We talk about the games we're playing sure but we're also momentarily joined by Into the Aether's own, Brendon Bigley.

Then we do a mid year check-in on how we're feeling about the games we've played this year and which ones are feeling like GOTY contenders and which one's are certified NOTY.
