The XP Grind gamers were still powering through their games for this month, but still wanted to kick it with you! So we decided to record an episode talking about some gaming news, such as a controversy involving AI artwork in Crimson Desert, the DLSS 5 announcement, and more! After that, we talk through the games on our backlog, our favorite MMOs, and our favorite stories in gaming!

In the second episode of Gamer Book Club, User and Jabin team up to recommend the rogue-like juggernaut of 2024, Balatro, to Big Henny! In return, he makes us live out his fantasy of owning a Symbiote Suit in Ultimate Spider-Man (2005)!

We also talk retro console classifications, the big release of March 2026, Slay the Spire 2, and how to be objective while rating and reviewing a game! Thanks for listening, and good gaming, ya'll!

The first episode of Gamer Book Club! In this one, we each reach way back into the memory bank and recommend some important games from our childhoods! Tune in for a discussion about some underrated 2000s gems!
