This episode is sans Corey.  Brian copes by having Professor John Harney on as guest host to discuss his History and Video Games class at Centre College.  When not shamelessly plugging his own projects (j/k), John talks about how the class works, the tools being used in the classroom, and the projects being developed by the students.  We also discuss the release date announcement of God of War, the changes to Microsoft Game Pass, and Total War: Three Kingdoms.
