We've waited two-and-a-half-months to find out the fate of Wanda and Vision, and how the MCU will be affected in this new age of television-plus. Now, our four-person panel spends over two hours pondering what lies ahead for both the dearly beloved and newly introduced cast members.

There are a million ways that conversation can go, so we're curious what your big takeaways, predictions, highlights, and disappointments were in regards to this hero-themed guessing-game we've all been playing for the last couple of months.

As the week ends we’re now anticipating open-world Pokémon adventures and co-op Aliens shooters we didn’t even know existed. We’ll be enjoying these later this year while we lament the “reorganization” of Japan Studio and our lack of Hololens 2 headsets powered by Microsoft Mesh.

We had a suggestion to do Coming of Age films on a recent stream and Huber's little face lit up like a blasted Chirstmas tree so here we are! I feel like the last few episodes I've said "that'll be next month's topic for sure!" but then I forget what I said and there's just no way for me to go back and figure out what it was that I said! lol
So here we are! Let's talk about coming of age movies!
What's your favorite coming of age film?

I’ve been thinking a lot about milestones lately. We’re coming up on our 5th birthday, which is always an event worth celebrating by itself but 5 is definitely a special number. We’re also approaching the one year anniversary of having to work from home, which is frustrating but also something to be proud of given the challenges we’ve faced. But today, specifically, I’d like to acknowledge the publishing of our 300th review! Brandon K Gann sent in a massive recap to L&R that was...

Maquette has some rough edges, but it presents inventive puzzle mechanics that remain interesting to the end, paired with a love story that's both charismatic and relatable.

I’m pre-recording today’s episode because I’ll be looking after the little one in the AM while Amanda is busy with a sweet acting gig. Last week was a good week for Easy Allies’ exposure.

Half-Life: Alyx is a game that is universally loved but not universally played. We were skeptical about the prospect of another Half-Life, not to mention a prequel in VR. But as this hour-long conversation will hopefully convey, we walked away impressed by not only this game, but the state of the franchise moving forward.
