It’s a video game-focused episode today as we continue gushing about Capcom’s outstanding Street Fighter 6, Sean gives his first impressions of Diablo IV, and we recap all the most interesting announcements and reveals from June’s various “Not-E3 2023” events, including the Summer Games Fest, Xbox’s showcase, and more. Is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth shaping up to be something interesting? Is Persona 3 Reload the remake we always wanted? Do we care about Bethesda’s Starfield yet? And is Metaphor Re:Fantazio the presumptive Game of the Year 2024? All this and more will be answered, along with Jonathan’s thoughts on the final season of FX’s Justified!

Enjoy!
