Schedule for the Week of 06/23/2025

Welcome to the Heat Dome! First, big news, I think I’m about one Trophy away from wrapping up my time with Clair Obscur! What a game. Just in time too, because I’m excited to dive into Death Stranding 2 and MAYBE, just maybe knock out Assassin’s Creed (and maybe Avowed…). We’ll have some early thoughts on Death Stranding 2 on the podcast this week, so tune in then for more on it. On Monday Will, Brad, and I are heading back up the mountain in Peak! We had a blast last time, but now we’re serious about making some vertical progress. On Tuesday Abby joins Alex and me for more mystery solving, and it’s so mysterious even the game we’ll be playing is unknown! On Friday we’ve got a Patron’s Choice, so keep an eye out for a poll a bit later in the week.

Like Podcasts? Well, we’ve got you covered. The Watchcast continues its Summer of Star Trek as we make our way through Season 2 and encounter some of the corniest, most terrifying aspects of the galaxy. We’ll also have the podcast this week with our early impressions of Death Stranding 2, the Ramblecast, and even a new Never Been a Better Podcast at the end of the week!
