With a light news week, we decide to discuss what some of our bad gaming habits are this week. Ranging from the dark side of trophy/achievement chasing to the allure of too many side quests. Plus why eating greasy food while your game is definitely a bad gaming habit.

Dylan also discusses his reviews for The Red Lantern and Second Extinction and his impressions of Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit. We discuss why Nintendo continuing to make timed exclusive game release is bad, the Monster Hunter movie trailer is a mess and we break down the Xbox Series X/S launch lineup.
