A podcast full of idiots is our new slogan.  Jamie is satisfied with his PSVR 2 pickup and so is Sony.  Griff opposes Sony's continued dalliance with VR and just wants them to fight Microsoft again.  Geoff is dispassionately interested.  We catch up on a month of played game; hot for Fire Emblem Engage, cool for Sea of Stars, nonplussed by the completely-average-with-hand/wrist-based-reluctant-companion games, hyped for Hitman Freelancer and popping off for Pizza Tower.  Let's all agree to not talk about The Last of Us any more and continue to talk more about fecal transplants.
