We're kicking off 2023 by meandering through a few completely disparate topics, including Wizards of the Coast's busy week of pissing people off.

December 02, 2022 Episode 5 - Geoff's Big, Expensive Baby
With The Game Awards looming ominously on the horizon, our conflicted feelings on many of the nominees take up the bulk of this week's episode.

It's the episode with the most exasperated sighs yet!
