We took a week off to allow more time for games. Sometimes that's worth it, sometimes that is not. It's up to you how it will come across this time. We Played...

Euan dons the VR headset with immersive interquel Half Life: Alyx and escape the puzzle box game The Room VR. We both talk more about Animal Crossing:New Horizons. The main takeaway? Fuck eggs.

It happens between 1:10:41 and 1:13:33. We Played... Euan experiments with perspective shifting Superliminal Calum...
