In this episode we talk about loaning out consoles (PS4/5), DKO (Divine Knockout), and how it's nice when games provide multiple options to tweak the difficulty how you see fit (as opposed to just easy -> normal -> hard).

In this episode we talk about the 2022 Video Game Awards (mainly the trailers shown, less about the awards themselves).

Note: Due to having a guest star, the audio is just the single track recording of the meeting, so quality may be worse than normal.

Greg going to Dave and Busters triggers us to talk about arcades!
