Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Justin & Sam sit down for a cozy fireside chat. We talk about the black Friday deals we just can't stay away from and Justin's new 4K TV! We give our Battlefront 2 impressions now that we've had a chance to put some good time into it. We address the beauty of Assassin's Creed Origins, the horror of Wolfenstein 2, the joy of Worms Battlegrounds and the confusion of Persona 5. In a very special segment, we enact a dramatic reading of Kelsey's reaction to Animal Crossing Mobile. And we round it out with a listener question on game prequels!
