Geoff Keighley has once again found the chimney that our house does not have and dropped off a bunch of gaming news in the form of The Game Awards. We really need to find out how he does that.

Zac and Rob have caught 2023's "brutal cold". Unfortunately there's no umlaut on that so I regret to inform you that Jack Black is not a guest on this episode.

That's it. That's the title. Chef's kiss.

Dan is mysteriously busy this week so it's all Zac and all Rob. That's 2 alls.

Has Mario ever talked about meatballs? He should because it's getting a-spicy for games this year. In this episode we have Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Vintage Story, Exoprimal, Power Stone and other stuff.

Moving to the country, gonna eat a lot of pizza... because the survival rate of delivery drivers is clearly much higher there.

In this episode we've got Forza, BRC and dino portals. Rob and Dan also talk about EGX 2023 including Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Like A Dragon. Zac rebuilds things from scratch again.

Illness may have stumbled us this time, the SaladCast being a week late an' all, but hear this. Like any Youtube influencer with next to no real world power, I shall ask our listeners to like and subscribe the pain away. We have an undisclosed level of confidence that this will work.

In this episode, we catch up on the Nintendo Direct that seems a lifetime ago, the Xbox leaks, that whole Unity thing and a few games we met along the way.

This week's Saladcast is cooking, just like the presenters HIYOOOO!!! Try the veal.

This episode is dedicated to all the editors out there. It's an underated skill for sure. The podcast presented to you here is a mostly raw cut because editing is hard. I tried to make the structure less awkward without losing content. I promise you I did... but then kinda gave up and put it all back. I hope it worked out.

In this episode: NFS Unbound, Detective Pikachu, Factorio, God of War Ragnarok and some of the news including Gamescom.

I urge you to check your play time stats for Tears of the Kingdom. You may have a problem.

In this episode, Zelda (obvs), Nintendo patents, Rhombus of Ruin, NFS Unbound, Vanishing Point and adult themes such as council planning and fraud.

I don't have a problem. I can quit any time I want.

We're just salad,

There's Zelda, of course, but also Daytona, Hydro Thunder and Vanishing Point. In a rare moment of timeliness there's also some Barbie reactions, if you hadn't guessed.
