Disaster struck in the editing bay when Justin found half of this episode MISSING. Luckily, it was just "the rest of the news" and not the most important stuff, like Ninja Theory's new game, Project Mara. Plus Valve being confidendt that Half-Life Alyx won't be delayed, in the wake of so many games being delayed. Oh did I mention game delays? Dying Light 2 has been delayed with no release date, so don't expect that anytime soon! More depressing news: Tencent plans to buy Funcom, because they nee...

This week is so jam packed full of pure video game news, of course it's almost three hours!
