Anthem is here and is surrounded by controversy. Jared finished up Kingdom Hearts and has his final thoughts on how that game closes out.

We hit the high seas in search of treasure!  Sea of Thieves has been out a while, so we checked in on the progress and new updates that Rare has released since launch.  We found treasure, fought skeletons and ran around holding maps.

Apparently February is now the season of games.  In this Gamescast we cover a ton of new and old games.  Jared teaches us the ways of Kingdom Hearts 3, Apex shows up out of nowhere and The Division 2 beta is a lot like The Division 1.  Nick went on a trip and dusted off his switch, Gris and Oxenfree were his plane games.  Notes: Metro Steam Controversy: 12:15 - 26:15 Kingdom Hearts 3: 26.:15 - 54:...

3 years late, no big deal.  All three of us sat down to play some siege, we won some, lost some, and murdered some hostages.  Can't win em all.

No video games to be found here.  Just the guys talking about cereal and snacks and other food items.  WE HAVE OPINIONS.

It's a Christmas Special!  This episode is full of drinks, scotch, bullshit and we eventually talk about our favorite games of the year.  Grab a beer and follow along, it's a long episode full of lots of bullshit.
