This week we have snow storms, Mountain Dew going “hard”, and plenty of tv show talk. On the gaming front Trees is still rocking Loop Hero and Minecraft Dungeons, but he also dove into Wreckfest. 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.

This week Trees embarks on a capitalistic block party while Fred does…very little. On the gaming front no one has played Halo Infinite yet, but Trees sank some hours into Car Mechanic Simulator, tried out the surprisingly good Kart Rider: Drift, and jumped into Series X/S exclusive Lawn Mowing Simulator. Fred tried The Forgotten City, briefly jumped into Arkham Origins, but spent most of his time continuing to love Final Fantasy VII Remake.
