The Pitch

A side effect of Valkyr is sucking all of the fun out of a movie.

The problem with adapting something that is such a pastiche is that you risk just making another version of whatever inspired the pastiche. When Hollywood set out to adapt Max Payne, which itself is an homage to crime and noir films, they avoided that. Instead, they made a really mediocre mid-2000s action movie and profoundly miscast it.

It's a classic Abject Suffering showdown! Gary is extremely apathetic toward Gundams, while Kole is mildly apathetic but remembers liking them in the past. Catch the clash!

Kole, Jala, and David talk about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Game Awards trailer reveals, and we ask you which single player game you’ve put the most time into.

• Game Award trailer reveals.

Leaping lizards! Except for the last part, sorta.

This third episode of our Baldur's Gate II coverage takes us away from the free-wheeling open-ended climes of Chapter 2 and puts us on the story's rails, as we get on Irenicus' trail and follow him to a Wizard Asylum and finally into the iconic Underdark. There's some fantastic content to be covered here, and they even made the Sahuagin interesting!

Do you know how many candy bars I'd have to sell to raise 20,000 GP!?!? We left Part 1 of our Baldur's Gate II coverage with an outrageous mandate... to raise a ton of money to get information about where our soul (and sister) were taken. But Athkatla is a dirty and greedy city, so there's plenty of work to do.

This episode covers most of Chapter 2, except for the content at Trademeet. We kind of ran out of steam. Next episode should take us through the Underdark.
