VGP Ep 103: Don’t Stop Believin’
This week Trees struggles with illness and coy cheerleaders while Fred attends a Journey concert. On the gaming front it’s all Mass Effect for Trees as he wraps up the second game and goes right into the third.

VGP Ep 100: Triple Digits
This week we’re late but it’s episode 100 so who cares, right? Trees and Fred discuss what they’ve been up to (including why this ep wasn’t on time). On the gaming front Trees continues to grind away at Car Mechanic Simulator, nearly wraps Mass Effect, and toys around with two of the “99” Switch games (Tetris 99 and Pac-Man 99). Fred has soft modded his Wii U, wrapped up Spyro 2, and gone all retro with Jay & Silent Bob Mall Brawl, along with some initial impressions of Cyberpunk 2077.
VGP Ep 99: Ashley is the Worst
This week Trees is done with cheerleading while Fred works a lot either with his job or with snow.

The highlight of his week, however, was re-living the Playstation Home days in Four Kings Casino, albeit now on Xbox. There’s a slight side tangent about the recent acquisitions before Fred wraps the show with Watch Dogs 2.
