This week: Alex regales us with stories of the greatest little shop in upstate New York, we played the Cuphead DLC, The Quarry, and Last Call BBS, God of War Ragnarok gets a release date, Destiny gets a mobile game (maybe), and we answer some of your emails (?!?). Plus, you won't believe which famous country singer got her own pinball machine!

Those Steam demos were pretty fun last week, so I’m excited to see what we can get up to for this week on the Xbox and their demo lineup. I’ve been playing a bunch more Neon White, and I’ve even moved over to the PC from the Switch. Plenty more to say about that on the podcast. We’ll be continuing with The Quarry, which has been a blast so far, on Friday. Of course, we’ll also have The Ramblecast and Alex-y Quest this week as well. Video games! They’ve been there all along. ...

Happy Anniversary! Thanks for all the support over the last year. We’re excited to be in year two!
