In episode 297, thanks to real life, we go back to the basics, to the origins of it all. Secrets of the Atlas and Mercenaries of Trarthus brings so many great changes to the original Path of Exile experience, how could we not bring back the original podcast experience. GGG really seems to be on pace now with both Path of Exile 1 and Path of Exile 2, So no matter which one you're playing, you are in good hands. Enjoy the first league launch in almost a year! (Let us know how it goes.)

Tis the season for reflection, appreciation, and rage (irl). With Path 2 a bit into its release, the timing of Path of Exile 1's private league templates worked great! Even though the biggest changes to loot in PoE's history happened in Path 2 at the same time as the addition to free PLs in Path 1, we were given the opportunity to compare and appreciate the different pros and cons of each game with a fresh look. We hope you enjoyed this week's episode (we sure did), and thanks, as always, for your listens each week! Love ya!

The G patch came! This week, GGG modified their loot experience to such an extent that Justin's going to restart the campaign as a Chronomancer! Just kidding on the last part, but with both the free private leagues for Path of Exile 1 and a revamped loot experience for PoE 2, we had too much to talk about! We hope you're enjoying either Path of Exile experience and we thank you, as always, for your time and support. You rock!

It's episode 290! That's not a special number or anything but we're excited to hang out with you again! This week we touch on some fresh Last Epoch comparisons and attempt to stay away from Path of Exile 2 campaign/character progress comments. PoE 1's 3.26 June release has been referenced by GGG in regards to private league templates being released this week, so we're intrigued to the timing of releases as well. Thanks, as always for your time each and every week! Love ya!

Episode 289 is loaded with opinions regarding the 0.2.0f patch and the upcoming 0.2.0g patch. GGG has been pumping out patches like crazy. So much so, that it's tough to keep up! Path of Exile's Early Access keeps playing games with us, but we know it's ways. We know it's games. It'll get there. Hopefully you're enjoying, or looking forward to enjoying, Path of Exile 2. Thank you for your listens and support each week! We greatly appreciate it!
