We’re a decent way into December which means all sorts of lists are being made, people are ranking things, and video games are being played and talked about.

I think I can finish up three of those with some aspirational time management, but I'm not sure I’ll see credits on Midnight Suns before the end of the year. Guaranteed, we’ll be getting to all of that on the podcast this week. If you’re curious a...

Did you have a video game weekend? I kind of had a video game weekend, aside from all the non-video-game stuff I had to do. I’ve been putting my time into Midnight Suns, but I just switched over to try out some Callisto Protocol, both of which we’ll be streaming and talking about this week. We’re going to leave our Thursday stream open as we have a couple of options we’re looking into playing. Friday we’ll be returning to the Dark Pictures Anthology, and I'm pretty excited about tha...

But don't you worry, we've got a couple of banger films for this month, as well as a couple of intriguing Trek episodes. Here's what we've ...

We’ll also have updated thoughts on games from the recent past like God of War, Pentiment, and more. In addition to that we’ve still got The Watchcast and Ramblecast this week.
