The world's not in great shape, so this episode is a bit cozier, a bit more informal. Melissa cute-shames her Animal Crossing villagers, Kyle prepares for the post-apocalypse with Wasteland 2, Hunter actually manages to forget that the world's on fire for a minute, and Marc gives up on having a regular intro.

The main them of this episode is... legal battles!

Don't forget about the highlighted game Cowboy Yakuza and our question of the week!

Melissa returns to join Kyle and Marc and discuss Ooblets 2020, League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics (of course), and butt-smacking children. Stay tuned for the highlight game (Conglomerate 451) and the question of the week (or just visit the shownotes at press2reset.com).
