May 27, 2018 Episode 297: The One That Was Jeff’d
Our Live show was recorded in two parts this week, due to internet issues preventing us from streaming smoothly. In the first half we talk about some new tabletop games we played this past week, Terraforming Mars and Skyway Robbery. After getting his internet stabilized, Sean and the gang return to complete the show, picking up right where they left off. We review two incredible statues from ThinkGeek's Modern Icon line: Aloy, and Nuka Cola Girl.

We continue onto the news to discuss the future of the PS4 and Sony's plans for the future. Finally, we finish the show with what we're hoping to see at E3 this year.
