With six months of 2016 now behind us, it’s a good time to take stock of the year so far – and while it’s been a rough year for humanity in general, it’s been a pretty phenomenal year for video games, and in some ways, we’ve barely even gotten started! What have been our favorite games so far this year? Movies? TV shows? We talk about all of it, and look forward to what we’re most excited for in the back-half of the year. And before the main topic, Jonathan recounts his continued experiences rewatching _Dragon Ball Z, _his final thoughts on _Kirby: Planet Robobot, _and his review of Playdead’s stellar new indie masterpiece _Inside _for the Xbox One, while Sean has finally gone back to catch up with _Dishonored _on the PS4.
