Speaking of which, Ryan also runs us through...

Crofton and Ryan are back and while they feel the deep pan, they are still smiling because of all the fun content out there.

From video games like the Avengers and Breath of the Wild to shows like the new alien doctor show Resident Al...

From candy hunts to Ghostbusters, they enjoyed it al...

The leaves are changing colour, the temperature is dropping, Halloween is coming, but one thing remains constant: the insane global pandemic.

While Crofton and I did not get a chance to record a normal Dungeons and Diapers this week, we did record The Gamers' Inn together.
