Have YOU noticed that the previous two weeks notated Diablo IV/4 inconsistently? Well, I didn't, but now I'm leaning into it! Today the Buds talk about their time with skull-dodgin, knife-throwin arcade shooter Devil Daggers, and finish off the story recap and reaction to the base game of Diablo IV!

The Buds are back after a stressful week of travelling and illness to talk all about the... weird, but enjoyable monster sandwich game called Pokemon Scarlet/Violet! We're not here to TELL you it has disgraceful performance issues, but we are asking the question: Does it have disgraceful performance issues? After that, we learn more about the story of The Six Angsty Teens in Final Fantasy VIII, from the prison break up until we attempt to assassinate the sorceress again in the clash of the gardens! Tune in to hear which instruments Alex picked for his performance!
