We kinda bounced all over the place here. Kolby played the new Kirbo demo and it feels and plays incredible. Could be the turning point for that series. Tyler ruined everyone's life in the Dying Light 2 world. He messed up so bad, he is rectifying his failure as soon as he gets back from vacation. “The Batman” is so so good and you should all go see it, and if you find yourself at Penn State in the first weekend of April, play the PSPC.

Tyler gives you the pitch for why you should buy Pokemon Legends: Arceus. He makes some good cases and is very fair I must say. After an hour of that, he then dives into early impressions for Dying Light 2. Kolby kinda took a backseat on this one, which is good because Tyler is the knowledgeable one.

Oh hey we did another 90 minutes. That just happens after you do this for two and a half years. But yeah, Legends Arceus is coming out this week and it caused Tyler to delete Twitter.
