Brendan, Dan, Leslee and Zach are back with more video games! IGN posted an article with resources to provide monetary aid to children of Palestine, but the high ups decided that was a no go. Giantbomb has changed up their staff with the departure of Brad, Vinny and Alex, cheers to those guys who were some of our inspiration. We also talk Overwatch changes to 5v5, Sims 4 getting a new career, and the Apple vs Epic Lawsuit. Coop, Dan, and Leslee tried or tried to get ready for the Vault of Glass competitive mode. Zach has been playing Simulacra.

Brendan, Dan, Leslee, and Zach discuss Star Wars: The Revenge of the Sith. Some people original thought it would be their favorite... but it turns out we were all really distracted by shiny light sabers as children.

We also talk about Days Gone coming to PC and some tumultuous times in the Sony creative sphere. Jeff Kaplan leaves Blizzard and the Overwatch team.

Brendan, Dan, Leslee and Zach come back for Part 2 of Attack of the Clones. We wonder why the fuck Jhango Fett is here with his child. We also wonder what the fuck Obi Wan things he is doing. Also we all continue to be creeped out by the relationship between Anakin and Padame. Leslee and Dan also briefly talk about Armageddon. Oh, and Yoda is pretty useless even after he becomes a toad man. We also talk about the amount of force exerted on Padme when she jumps onto that saddle.

Brendan, Dan, Leslee and Zach talk about their feelings on Star Wars Attack of the Clones. The true tragedy in this movie is there should have been more of a love triangle between Obi-Wan, Padme, and Anakin to really spice things up... Also Anakin is actually just a thirteen year old in a nineteen year old body. Are the Jedi really that useless when they can't see the future? Yes. Come hang out while we break down Park 1 of Attack of the Clones.

Dan is exploring Baldur's Gate 3 and Brendan returns to the comfort of World of Warcraft.

Brendan, Dan, Leslee, and Zach strap into their N-1 Starfighters and have another convo about how confusing the Phantom Menace is. Why does Jabba the Hutt not remember Anakin Skywalker or consider the fact Luke might be on his planet? HOW ARE THERE ONLY 20 YEARS BETWEEN THE END of EPISODE 3 AND EPISODE 4?! How does Anakin manage to pilot a N-1? Why do the Gungans have a better army than Naboo? All will be answered... or just make you more confused. Tough call.

Also this movie is way to jammed full of info.

Brendan, Dan, Leslee and Zach get together to discuss the weird roadmap for Cyberpunk 2077 and some other weird nonsense going on with this game.

In all serious though Cyberpunk seems like a pretty fine game bugs aside. Then we discuss everyone's favorite award show! The Game Awards. The Last of Us 2 received several awards that felt earned and maabye one or two it didn't (I mean Hades also deserved to win more, I'm not biased). We also talk about a handful of trailers Back 4 Blood, Sephiroth is coming to Smash, Warhammer 40K: Darktide, Disco Elysium Final Cut, Dragon Age 4, a new Mass Effect, Fall Guys Season 3 Trailer, and more!
