Hey Podtimists,

This week David continues his Resident Evil 4 journey and ends his NK24 journey. Somehow an unchecked email is the reason why. It's nuts.

Then, Chase dives into the wild world of the handheld console called the Playdate. There are so absolute killer games on that thing.

Finally, we took a deeper look at the 2015 game Titan Souls. This one was suggested to us by listener Donnie W. Thanks Donnie!

Hey Podtimists,

This week David is on a Resident Evil roll! He both finished 3 and started 4. That's a lotta zombies! Chase also finished Persona 3 Reload and started Dragon's Dogma 2. That's NOT a lotta zombies.

We also took a deeper look into 2014's Hatoful Boyfriend. This was suggested to us anonymously, so thank you whoever you are for suggesting this game!
