We've got it all here, and this is a long one so get comfortable.

Sadly, Rich died of tremendous illness before, during, and after this podcast.

We were recording this episode right as Nintendo dropped Labo. You get to hear the most honest reactions we can give you. Please tell your friends.

It's more of that gaming news and discussion that we all love so much. Loads of it. I'd tell you what it is but I think that counts as spoilers.

We're back in 2018 because why would we stop? Apart from all the gaming news we've also got our best and worst of 2017 bit, a review of a controller, and other talking stuff.

Despite not having games with loot boxes, the Nintendo Switch seems to be doing very well.

It's a gaming news show and it's full of it. I could tell you all the news contained within, but then you wouldn't have to listen to the show.

We recorded this episode before the gaming awards happened. That's why we don't know who won anything. I expect we'll talk abou them in the next episode.

There are significantly fewer loot boxes in this episode than there have been in previous episodes. Not no loot boxes, just a few.

Did you really think the loot box thing was over with? Have you ever heard of lute boxes? You get a small stringed instrument every month.
