Martin Stradling (AKA SporkTank) - Developing Rita, a cozy puzzle adventure

Zack and Harrison look into their crystal ball and attempt to predict what the Switch 2 could (or maybe should...) look like and trust me, this one's a doozy! The duo also talk Pokemon's new online TCG, the year in gaming TV shows, and some rapid-fire news.

Games discussed: Inscryption, Minecraft, Warhammer 40K, Brawlhalla, Pokemon, League of Legends, Fallout, Multiversus

The Best Worst Switch Prediction

This week Zack, Rav and Harrison get nerdy with some Dungeons and Dragons talk as they unpack the latest edition/revision/update/whatever the new DnD book is supposed to be.

We also hear from Aussie streamer JustShads_ about games streaming with a disability, who Darcy spoke to at PAX Aus 2024.

And we end on the most disappointing quiz of all time...

Games discussed: Hades II, Sonic Frontiers, Parking Garage Rally Circuit, Subnautica, UFO50, Pokemon, Dungeons and Dragons
