Jerod makes his triumphant return to the show, taking up THREE WHOLE CHAIRS, Texas-style.

We dig into the 2022 nominations for Geoff Keighley’s The Game Awards brought to you by Geoff Keighley, we run through the entire list of Netflix game adaptations, and we preside over the latest professional bean-spillage on video game social media, because we’re gossips like that.

This week, LeGrande and Jeremy bring the heat with all the video game stuff you need this week. LeGrande gives us his oversight of Overwatch 2, and whether it’s worthy to be called a sequel. Jeremy succumbs to the siren song of game music and plays Dandara: Trials of Fear, which puts a traversal spin on the Igavania genre… but does it have any ground to stand on? We cover the news of the week, as G4TV closes again and Sony launches its PlayStation Stars loyalty program. Plus, Bayonetta voice actress calls out Platinum Games. We finish strong (and fast) with our News Speedrun! Have a listen!

In this week’s episode we range musically across a number of games, game genres, and music genres. LeGrande continues his long tradition of kicking demon butts in hell with Metal Hellsinger. Jeremy senses something slightly askew but is charmed by No Straight Roads. Jerod enjoys possibly “the best strategy game ever” (his words) in the Steam Next Fest demo of Manor Lords (which is unfortunately not a medieval etiquette simulator). This week Google Stadia announces that it is closing IN SHAME. Sony describes their PC strategy for games going forward. New releases and news speedrun close us out for this week!

This week the team is lean and mean because there are leaks and lawyers and ceases and desists, and it’s just a jungle out there.
