Severely delayed by technical issues, in this episode Mark is joined by Nick, Chazzee, and not Andy to discuss the Xbox Developer Direct, the Switch 2 reveal, spend a few brief moments eulogising the much maligned WiiU, and run down all the games they've been playing over the past month or so.

It's a new year and Adam is feeling guilty about his backlog, so to help him clear it (and because getting on regular podcast recordings is difficult) he's going to catalog his quasi year of shame with a new solo show: Backlog Busting. In this special Episode 0 Adam explains the concept and the rules of this format. Episode 1 coming soon!

After finally breaking free from editing limbo, the latest episode finds Nick, Chazzee, and Mark as they discuss residential fireworks displays, Halloween costume angst, preferential parking, a whole host of now very outdated news, and of course all the games they've been playing over the last month or so.
