The Pitch

Kole, Ben, Jala, and David talk about What Remains of Edith Finch?, Atari’s console teaser, and we ask you about villains and henchmen.

• Atari is making a console?
• Dragon Quest XI Nintendo Direct is happening next week.
• Call of Duty: WWII won’t feature swastikas.

• If you were a villain, what would your minions be?

• Kole: What Remains of Edith Finch?
• Jala: Sky Dancer. Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions.
• David: Killing Floor 2.
• Ben: Friday the 13th.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross read your responses to SSX Tricky.

Our look at "I, Tyrant" continues as we gaze upon Beholder history and myth.

Two cars in every garage, and a copy of "Automatic for the People" on every media shelf.

The R.E.M. rocket is about to reach its apex, as our boys from Athens are riding high after "Out of Time" and about to release their most successful album ever. What kind of album does a touring band make when they don't tour anymore? A softer, weirder, more morbid album that landed with a bang in its time but lands with a thud now.

Kris and Kole talk about brand loyalty, crisis, and plagiarism.

ALSO: Tentpole. How the West was fun. Pepsi shirt on Coke day. Ripple got Bluthed. Grandma prom. Sizzlin’ Beans. Laundry pods and dementia. Staggering heroin stats. Pocket full of Sparknotes.

The tradition continues! Listen for our first dive into the Monstrous Arcana book "I, Tyrant", covering some Beholder Basics.

It's been a little while since we got some verified GameFAQs Gold. Enjoy!

Gary Butterfield, Kole Ross, and Nick Daniel continue their discussion of Hollow Knight.

Oh no! We're back to the Savage Land! That's right, there are two whole episodes about the Savage Land this week. Gary and Jeremy go way down south and talk about Overwatch shipping (blame Jeremy), why Rogue's voice changes when she puts cowboy boots on, and the big one: what's the deal with Sauron?! It's a jam packed episode filled with the Days of Future Cast sauce you've come to love.
