Alex, Marsh, Chris and Tom Senior discuss the most topical games of the age, including but not limited to The Room VR, Call of Duty for some reason, hunting in Red Dead 2, and Mount & Blade: Bannerlord.

We’re still getting used to this new remote recording setup, and we’ll be looking to invest in some decent desk mics to even out the sound quality in future episodes. Thank you for bearing with us!

• Tom is spending his days inside PS VR, chiefly The Room VR, Blood and Truth and, for some reason, James Cameron’s Avatar.
• We nosh heartily upon the monumental failings of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
• Alex’s attempt to recreate Animal Crossing in Red Dead Redemption 2 ends in tragedy.
• Chris has been whisking the hillmen in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord.
• THE LONGING and VESPER.5: games about patience and, apparently, shouting.
