Nick, Chip, and Kurabara are back this week to continue discussing their playthroughs of Mass Effect 2. However, they are moving on from the loyalty missions for an interlude to talk about the Firewalker DLC and some gang-related side quests.

They begin by discussing the order of the Project Overlord and Firewalker DLC, and how Firewalker should be done first even though they can be done in any order. They also talk about the value of the DLC and discuss the role of vehicles in Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2. They also get into a side tangent about graphics in games from 2007 to 2012.

Finally, they dive into the Firewalker content. They review each of the missions and talk about the data collection mechanic. They also discuss the platforming mini-game of driving the Hammerhead. They talk about how the Hammerhead is intended to handle in cold weather, and review the backstory of the questline featuring Doctors Cayce and O’Loy.

Next, they talk about the Blook Pack questline. They review the quest to track some beacons through the fog. They talk about the Klixen and the dragon-like beast that accompanies them but never fights Shepard. They talk about the mission to scale a cliff face and take out a Blood Pack base. They talk about the backstory between Salamul and Kalusk, two of the Krogan mini-bosses for these missions, and their relationship to Garm, the Blood Pack leader Shepard defeats in the Archangel recruitment mission on Omega.

Lastly, they review the Blue Suns questline. This starts with finding an Exogeni base that the Blue Suns have overrun. They talk about Vido Santiago’s involvement (after encountering him on Zaeed’s loyalty mission.) The questline takes Shepard to the MSV Strontium Mule, and the guys talk about the layout of the ship and navigating it during a fight. Finally, they track down a false Blue Suns distress signal and disable it.

On this episode, Atombomb joins the fray to discuss the Dropping Icy Tournament results and give us a sneak preview into Apex Season 12: Defiance! With brand new legend Maggie, a new LTM called "control", weapon and hop-up changes, and some controversial buffs and nerfs to legends Caustic and Crypto, there's plenty to discuss! Join us, as we break down all the information we know, and what the implications are!

Crashtag, Mezza and StaticGorilla are back for another episode of Double Tap with the latest breaking FGC news. In the Fighters Corner, King of Fighters XV announced a new character Elisabeth Blanctorche, nostalgic costumes, then during the show, the next 6 DLC characters were announced. Next we looking into the latest info of EX Umvc3 and DBFZ world championship has been postponed. Lastly, Baiken has arrived and we go into detail about our impressions, compare hitboxes from previous games, and look at patch notes. Finally, in the Randoms of the FGC, we look at Character Usage in Strive at Frosty Faustings, a possible MK 12 leak and Vortex Gallery announces their registration.

On this episode we continue our trek through the Zero Dawn facility. We manage to find the Alpha Registry that will allow us to access the facility in All-Mother mountain, but before we can go, we are captured by Helis. Our capture ultimately results in a showdown between Aloy and a Behemoth in the Sunring. As things start to look bleak, we are rescued by a surprise savior.

Now that the Eclipse Focus network is down, we can safely enter Sunfall; the home of the Shadow Carja. We are introduced to High Priest Bahavas and King Itamen, as well as a new character named Vanasha. Soon after we enter Sunfall, we make our way into the Project Zero Dawn facility. We learn about the people who worked on Project Zero Dawn, as well as discover the truth about what Project Zero Dawn is.

On this episode we head to US Robot Command, what is now known as the Grave-Hoard. Unlike Maker's End, the Eclipse have made it inside the facility and are busy. We learn what Operation Enduring Victory is, and also get an idea of how dire the situation was for humanity during the Faro Plague. After that, we head to the Eclipse main base to take down the focus network.

On this episode we talk all about the Hunter's Lodge in Meridian. We meet Ahsis, your standard Carja Nora hater, and Talanah, a hunter who has a family legacy with the lodge. We talk about the Hunter's Lodge story line where Aloy becomes a Thrush and helps Talanah unseat Ahsis. We also discuss the remaining Hunting Grounds, as well as the reward weapons for getting marks.

Pull up a stool, charge your glasses and get comfortable as Happy Hour Episode 42 is here for your listening pleasure. That’s right – Mike, Rob, Luke and Brad are back for more podcast-based shenanigans, with alcohol aplenty. For this episode the lads talk about a few recently released trailers. Our Flag Means Death, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Human Resources (the Big Mouth spin-off) and Moon Knight all come under the microscope. There's also been a new 4k gameplay trailer for "The Day Before". The guys chat about what they have been watching recently too.
