Summer's cooling down but the games are heating up! (Look, it gets hard to write these after a while.) A new Splatoon, a new Sony first-party release, a return to Monkey Island, more slime-raching, a heck of spiders -- September may just have something for everyone.

We’ll have a release stream later in the week, along with our podcast discussion, so look out for that if you’re curious about how games like Immortality look and play, for example!

Schedule for the Week of 08/22/2022

I knew it would happen eventually, but there was no Elden Ring for me this weekend. I was pretty busy and then when I had some free time I went back to Cult of the Lamb. Now that I’ve hit some progress bugs in Cult and I’m going to put it down for a bit… maybe… but there’s Saints Row in a few days so we’ll see if Elden regains that crucial weekend spot or not. We’ll be talking about Saints Row on this week’s podcast and then we’re looking to get together for a stream with it...
