After some weird issues with video uploads, we're finally able to bring you this week's episode! We're having a conversation about this generation and what we loved and hated about it. We don't talk much about the upcoming console generation, but we reminisce about the previous one and what we wish had carried over.
This week, we're talking about the lineup of Evo 2020. We're discussing the absence of Mortal Kombat 11 from the top 9, what we're excited to watch, and the FGC at large.
This week, Tom and Ryan are talking about games that maybe got the short end of the stick when it came to critical reception and sales. Be it because of similar games flooded the free-to-play marketplace or they were released in the shadow of a much large franchise in the same genre.
This week, we're giving you a chance to get to know us and our interests outside of video games. Apologies for the late upload on this episode. There were issues getting the audio file. Double apologies for the low volume on Ryan. He doesn't know how to use a microphone.

This week, we discuss what we really like and what we really don't like when it comes to the content we view on video game YouTube.

Shanee is out this week, but we're talking about horror video games and the different ways they attempt to unsettle us. We make some expected callouts, but make some other observations as well.
We made it! It's our 200th episode! Let's of laughs, lots of fun talks, lots of Shanee's blown gaskets. We reflect on where we've been with the show and where we hope to take it. We also veer into talking about the Blizzard fiasco and what we feel about certain video game development personalities. Thanks so much for joining us.
