This week, we take some time to discuss all of the big bombshells in the past few weeks of gaming news – the cuts, the closures, the price hikes, and the major shifts. It’s a sober look at the hobby we love, but I think we all end up at a pretty good place by the end of the episode. We also chat about some stuff we’ve enjoyed lately, and try to figure out who should play the David Bowie role in Robert Eggers’ Labyrinth sequel.

Apologies: The audio gremlins have returned. We didn’t want you to miss another episode while we sort this out so we’ve gone ahead and published this one. Please bear with Anthony’s skipping audio, we’ll get this fixed for the next one. This week, we dig into how 007 First Light is a great game (except for when it’s not) and how Directive 8020 overcomes its Greatest Hits approach to sci-fi horror with an inspired third act reveal. Major spoilers for Directive 8020 starting around 1:03:30. Skip ahead to around 1:32:00 to avoid the bulk of the discussion. If you're not backing us yet, head on over to our Patreon.
