It's GOLF WEEK but we still got a bunch of games to talk about! We get together to talk about Grubb finishing Baby Steps, Bakalar finishing Cronos, Hades II continuing to wow, Consume Me teaching us all valuable lessons, Steal the Brainrot dominating the brain space of the youth, and LEGO Party definitively being a better party game than Mario Party. We also catch up on the news and hit up all of your emails!

Jan's back! Kind of! We hit a few tech snags while recording this one, BUT that didn't stop the usual crew from coming together to tell you all about the new Skate, Silent Hill f, Megabonk, and much more. After that, all the important video game news of the week (Kojima's making... A credit card?) and your emails!

Jan's out on assignment, so BAD BOY OF GAMES MEDIA Mike Minotti is leading Grubb, Dan, and Shawn through discussions about getting knee-deep into Hollow Knight: Silksong, the recent Nintendo Direct cashing in on our nostalgia, all of your wonderful emailed topics of the week, and more!

We've got a full house today to talk about the Marvel Tokon Beta, Cronos: The New Dawn, finishing Riven, diving all the way into Sudoku, and how Silksong has done more than live up to the hype.

HOLLOW KNIGHT: SILKSONG DISCUSSION FEATURING MINOR SPOILERS runs from roughly 1:24:12 to 1:56:28 (variable depending on how many ads you get beforehand).
