World ends. Gamestop is High Priest of the death cult that is capitalism. Brian cries. Praise the Medicine Paladins. Animal Crossing is the last good thing in this world.

Look, we're speedrunning Plague Inc here. Brian and Rocky discuss turtleneck multstreaming. Rocky explains how a piece of dystopian science fiction by a suicidal young adult writer got him to wear a crewneck. E3 is CANCELLED. Nintendo has intense object detection algorithms. Please stop wearing ahegao t-shirts.

Rocky and Tegan were curious what I would put here since I wasn't on. Well, so was I. I wish had been on. I wish I had been on to tell you to wash your hands. I wish I had been on to tell you to avoid contact if not for you for the elderly, immunocompromised or obese people in your life. I wish I had been on to tell you this is real and there has been nothing like this in our lives. Protect the ones you love by acting with caution, care and empathy.

This is a thing that an actual C level executive said. Really. We're not making a joke. These are real words. Please join us as we continue to witness the final burning of the world through the prism of video games.

First of all, Ghostborders. Second of all, we haven't had an episode this late in a while. We hope that this didn't result in us coming home to you throwing our metaphorical possessions all over the metaphorical front lawn. We have no idea how good Tegan would be at standing on the lawn saying "Baby, I'm sorry." We'll be on time next week. Video games!

So there are a million Brians and one of them must apparently order a LOT of pizza in Dubai. Your Brian actually played a video game. Sonic made a ton of rings or money if you will. Nintendo asks people to be offended on their behalf because someone interfered with their marketing strategy. The Mountain Dew Messiah leaves E3.

Our traditional artisanal show notes are supplanted by timestamps. It's only been 84 years.

The team assembles and orders a list of 2019's top ten best games. The team is, in retrospect quite proud of the list.

Picture Mr. Worldwide and Christina Aguilera singing about feeling this moment on a beach at sunset whilst whales and shit breach the surface of the sea in the background. Now make it three nerds arguing for three hours about which video game moment is most emotionally resonant.

THIS. IS. BEST. MOMENT.

WE IN THIS.
