This week, Niki and John are joined by the wonderful Jessica Cogswell of Gamespot dot com. We talk hot neighborhood gossip including a harrowing tale from Jess right from her own back yard. Of course, we also talked about games, including:

• The reveal of Bungie's Marathon
• New Mario Kart World details
• The good and bad of Blue Prince, one of the year's most polarizing games
• Leaving the bloat behind in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Also, Jess commits to getting John into Magic: The Gathering at SGF this year. Niki's clean and will not participate.

Finally, we answer your burning HIVE QUESTIONS, featuring some bangers about music, mediocre games that never drop price, and snacks.
