This could be the end of the Activision Blizzard Saga, but not really in a good way… Lee (aka Mercurial Jester, formerly OLZC) is here to go through the ins and outs of American Law, and also Far Cry 6, and Kena, and whether devs should get credit for their work, and yeah. There’s a lot of shenanigans in the US, and in the greater not-US world.

It's been a crazy half-decade, hasn't it? Over 5 years, and 250 episodes, we've gone from a two-person gaming chat, to a four-person, punny, chaotic, righteous fury producing malarkey fest. So this week we celebrate the history of our show, and mainly just do trivia stuff and drink a bunch of alcohol. It's a chill time all around.

This was the first of what we hope will be a new stage in the podcast, where we will be streaming out episodes live on Twitch. Also, we're reworking our patreon to have more bonus content focussed on stuff like spoilercasts, and chatting about other media and games and stuff. If you like the show, we love the support and your input.

For real though, thank you all for the love and kind words, and just generally hanging out with us via whatever your platforms of choice are. We all truly appreciate it, especially in the past few years where we have been so divided. Thank you -S
