    After cracking our beers, we kick off this episode by talking about… more Modern Warfare 3! We then talk about… more Jusant. And then… more NYT Connections. Not new to the podcast discussion but we also speak to Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart and the PS5 experience. To drink, Aadil starts with Funky Fluid’s Warsaw Dream, then moves to the Arbor X Brixton brewery Cherry Amaretto Stout. Lucy skips the pond to have Maiden of Pain from Adroit Theory, and Ben skips a border for Polly’s White Oak.

    It’s a six-beer week for this episode. Lucy kicks off with Wave 9th Birthday DDH DIPA from Track Brewing Co, Aadil drinks Schlenkerla Urbock, and Ben has his first Arbor Ale in the Panettone. They then move to Games with Ben giving his review of the recently released The Invincible. There’s a little tangent into walking sims, and space games for some reason. For the second beers Lucy cracks the Nitro Caribbean Chocolate Cake from Siren, Aadil has Saturated in Simcoe from Deya, and Ben sticks with Arbor and has The Porter Express. Lucy then discusses her initial impressions of Jusant. Aadil finishes with his new found love of NY Times Connections. Tweet and follow us: http://twitter.com/outoflivesnet Join The OOL […]

    It’s just Aadil and Lucy this week, so be prepared for tangeants galore. We start out with the fact that you can’t expect people to have pen and paper on them in class anymore, also reoiling robots. Lucy talks about Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, and then we go into the general franchise and what we expect from a series that is ‘too big to fail’. Lucy had Track’s Manchester Fresh Hop Golden Ale ’23. Aadil had the Chur Bro New Zealand IPA from Off Axis Brew Co.
