It's the mini-episode we should never have recorded! Join us as we recap our weeks and our illnesses, and send us some good vibes so we'll be back in good health next week!

This week we get more hands-on time with our PlayStation Portals, we break down the second half of The Game Awards nominees, and we wish a Happy Thanksgiving to our American listeners!

This week Battleborn comes back for PC players, Eric gets his hands on the PlayStation Portal, we check out the latest Nintendo Indie World showcase, and it's Part 1 of our yearly picks for The Game Awards nominees!

This week, Eric goes beyond, Matt erases his name, and there's so much to discuss that the episode title is way too long!

(And surprise Wednesday drop!)

Releases: Tales of Arise - Beyond the Dawn & Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name

This week Eric has a real-life situation so it's a pieced-together show in which:  

Matt goes rogue and visits IndieLand, and Eric tells a second story, ponders Portal, dreams of BlizzCon, and tries to take us back to The Dark Ages (which earns TS its first-ever Explicit tag).
