Vole and Autarr. They have jobs, despite the noobiness; and they are adults, despite what their humour suggests. 

So they both wanna rant about why them games be so dang long!

Traditions exist but are also made! So, we are creating a new one. 2025 shall be the year when two people calling themselves names of small mammals start watching video game advertisements yearly and discuss them.

Is that fun? Sometimes. Does anyone need this? No. Will this inflate our backlogs and make us regret we ever fell into this rabbit hole? Absolutely.

We played Evil West together, and now we're here to tell you all about it!

We've tried to keep the spoilers very light, so, if you want to play this, it's probably safe to listen to this, unless you have a severe spoiler allergy. No specific plot points are discussed other than the setting, but we do talk about gameplay mechanics.

After nearly 4 years of procrastination, gestation and other delay-tions, Vole Maulder & Speiss Autarr are finally ready to introduce themselves.

Most of this episode was recorded a little over a year before its publication date, so you may notice that we're unaware of things you might expect us to be aware of at this point in time. There will be a bit of that for a handful of episodes, and then things will become more in sync.
