Aside from coming up with a great acronym for NFT Chris and Jon discussion the numerous games they've been playing the past few weeks.  We also touch on the Game Awards and the encroachment of NFTs into gaming.

Chris and Jon have slightly different ways of pursuing the nostalgia from the days of yore.  We discuss Kingdom Hearts 3, Unpacking, Forza Horizon 5, Pumpkin Jack, Deathloop and Far Cry 6.  We also cover some news including the Thunderful Games showcase, the delayed Steam Deck and more!

Chris and Jon talk about their respective experiences with Metroid Dread, which is a very apt name for this game.  Jon and AJ finished It Takes Two.  Also, more Blizzard issues, our outdated State of Play predictions and if you don't play enough Far Cry 6 Ubisoft will let you know!

Chris and Angie talk about their experiences with Metroid Dread and Halo Infinite, respectively.  The last Smash Ultimate character is announced (some people are excited).  Surprising no one Elden Ring gets slightly delayed.

Jon struggles to join words into coherent sentences as he and AJ discuss the gameplay of Metroid Dread.  Jon, having finished Kena: Bridge of Spirits, is a certified escort for wayward souls.  AJ has achieved the impossible and actually finished a JRPG.  Also some news stuff.

Chris and AJ are celebrating new jobs by nerding out on some video games.  In the wake of the Nintendo Direct last week, AJ has picked up ActRaiser.  Chris makes sure we don't miss Jon by discussing 2D platformers.

Jon discusses his latest jaunts into the world of 2D platforming with Axiom Verge 2 and F.I.S.T.  Angie is making her way through Horizon: Zero Dawn and loving it.  Also, things are getting worse for Activision Blizzard and a Star Wars game no one asked for!
