So much has happened back in November 2023 about Bungie that we never talked about because, frankly, it just sucked the life out of any discussion. So here is a ramble about it to just get it out there so Outrider can move on somewhat. My apologies for the free form feel of it all.

Outrider & Vengz goes through & break down the Destiny 2 State of the Game post for August 2023. Its a very long episode with a lot to discuss & we tried to be as fair as possible & not go for the knee jerk reactions from the SotG day 1 publication. If you want more long form episodes like this, let us know! We hope there is value to our discussion & we added somethings worthy...

This week Outrider looks ahead to other games on the horizon that have his interest; from mech battles, psychological horror, crime thrillers laced with wackiness, and more. Vengz also throws in one that got his interest but he had a long week & didn't have time to think about games. *sad face* Hope you enjoy!
