Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Capitalism season is upon us, and we are discussing the things we will (and won’t) buy. After last episode’s discussion of WoW, Chris has been playing some WoW again and is enjoying it. Join us to hear about the nuances of a subscription-based game in 2023. Chris has also been playing a couple of new games – V Rising and Super Mario RPG, and for some reason he’s still looking for his next PS5 game to play as well. In the post show, Jason got a dangerous email…
