After a quick update from Cybertown, we welcome the return of The Adkins Report! And since Matt's out this week, Dan takes the opportunity to throw some SHADE!

The ONLY place you're going to get Cyberpunk 2077 discussion on the internet. We talk funny bugs, what we love, what we don't, and whether or not the world feels alive. It's real nova!

We got a jam-packed episode this week with our first ever listener pitch audio submission from our subreddit, the triumphant return of Game That Name, an epic After Party and more.

While we recover from Thanksgiving over-indulgence, we record a casual, off-the-cuff bonus episode! So don't expect our usual level of extreme professionalism and preparation. We talk Ghost of Tsushima Raids! And Nic Cage fighting Aliens!

Acclaimed Board Game designer, author, and podcaster Geoff Engelstein joins the show! We nerd out over board game design, game mechanisms, player psychology - this time with authority! Stay tuned after the credits for a comedy watch-along!

It's a full house! Special Rotating Semi Regular Past and Future Co-Host Dan Weiland joins us, and he's not even standing in for anybody. We dig deep into the Next-Gen launch lineup, Dan proves that the Battle Royale genre has no bounds and applies it Chess - with shocking results! And Daanish wonders how the Avatar actually controls the elements. Stay tuned after the credits for a legit great discussion (for a change) where we try to figure out why the Souls games rule and/or suck. One of our most jam-packed episodes ever.

While we all welcome new consoles into our homes, Matt also welcomes a little green friend into his life. Daanish pitches Time Travel Among Us and Jeff pitches Time Travel Hitman. It's a Time Travel Extravaganza!!

Jeff's back and we decide Halloween isn't over yet! We talk Watchdogs Legion, Ghostrunner and cool ways to use the fancy new PS5 controller. Jeff wants to hail a Spooooky Taxi, Matt wants to climb(?) the corporate ladder, and Daanish recalls a real life ghost(?) encounter.

From Respawn Entertainment, Technical Game Designer Brian Keschinger joins the podcast! We talk Quest 2, VR Games, and Phasmaphobia. Matt pitches a horrifying mash-up, and Brian pitches a unique take on the fighting game genre that you can (sort of) play right now! Jeff couldn't make it for this episode, but does that mean you're going to miss out on a classic Jeff moment that will go down in history? No. No it does not.

This week we got ghosts, robots, and the triumphant return of SSMT Traffic! Also stay tuned to the AfterParty to hear Matt and Jeff bore Daanish to tears with their PC Build talk.
