LATEST EPISODE 🔗

Send us Fan Mail “Microcheating” is trending because of GTA 6, and somehow a video game romance option is getting treated like a real-world betrayal.

Send us Fan Mail Eight minutes of gold didn’t get recorded, Marcus bailed, and somehow that sets the tone perfectly: we’re talking about Elden Ring again, and the real difficulty isn’t just bosses. I restarted from the very beginning on PS5 with the Tarnished Edition updates in mind, rolled a new c…
Send us Fan Mail You know that moment when you realize your brain feels better the second you stop doomscrolling? We start there, with a full-on book obsession and the surprising joy of swapping late-night feeds for actual reading. The dark fantasy pull of Empire of the Vampire turns into a wider c…
Send us Fan Mail Starting over is overrated. What we actually want is the chance to replay a chapter with better stats, better tools, and the hard-earned knowledge we didn’t have the first time. That’s why New Game Plus hits so deep, and why a simple upgrade like a new computer can feel like steppi…

We love the look of a shelf full of cases and collector’s editions, but we also admit the truth: modern “physical games” often behave like a license key with extra s…
Send us Fan Mail He calls it a prison sentence, then hits Go Live anyway. When Destiny 2 moves toward maintenance mode, Marcus feels that familiar sting of something you love changing forever, and the fastest cure is surprisingly simple: open the stream, let the community walk back in, and see who …
Send us Fan Mail Destiny 2 heading toward maintenance mode sounds like a simple business update until you feel what it really means: a shared world stops growing, and the friendships tied to that world suddenly feel fragile. We talk through that gut-punch moment, why “servers still online” isn’t th…
Send us Fan Mail A cheap shot in a hockey game turns into an unexpectedly honest question: when someone crosses a line, do we stay calm and “take the penalty,” or do we swing back and call it justice? We follow that spark straight into the heart of moral decision making in video games, where a sing…
