Mint talks about the most popular farming game out at the moment, Al crashes out over Stellar Blade (and also nearly doxes himself), and there is much pondering about what should happen to CEOs.

Please note that Al's mic got switched to his Razer Kiyos which is why he sounds like he's talking out of a tin can. Sorry about that!

This week's OP: Running Late - On-lyne, Matthew Chalmers & Keith Power

Do you really need shownotes with that title? I mean alright: Mint talks about his surprising enjoyment of Star Wars Outlaws, Al talks about the ending of Mina the Hollower, and we lament the state of Square Enix in 2026. Also feet are discussed.

What better way to celebrate double-digits than the death of everyone's least favorite keebler elf? Pop off for that whilst Mint talks about Starfield and has a crisis about Ever Crisis. Meanwhile, Al tries to describe his feelings about Deltarune without getting killed for spoilers.

On today's docket: Mint talks about Marvel's Midnight Suns and the baffling response to Mina the Hollower critique, Al goes over half of the Steam Next Fest demos he's played, and we lament the state of the industry for the third episode in a row.

Man it's just a lot of bad news this week I dunno, I got to talk about Warframe a little bit at least.

Mint is back from break to talk with Al about all the "big" announcements from resident clown Geoff Keighley's not-E3, the Sony State of Play, and the Xbox Showcase. Al also gets a crash course on The Wolf Among Us' Israeli roots (yes this is a real thing)

We discuss how Mixtape is likely only a nostalgic adventure game if you're white, laugh at the GameStop CEO, and crash out over the announcement of the FIFTH Star Fox remake.

Lots of wonderful news this week, plus Al (rightfully) hypes up ARCO and Mint defends the latest character added to Marvel Tokon.

It only took four episodes to branch beyond from video games. In this episode we do a deep dive on The Drama, talk Tifa in Street Fighter, and Mint crashes out about Klay Thompson's raggedy ass.
