Episode description

Elden Ring is out this week, and we have gotten drawn into, chewed up by, and spat out of its gaping open-world maw. Plus: some later-game thoughts on Horizon Forbidden West's story twists, thoughts on whether the world needs another Street Fighter, a consideration of the ever-expanding definition of "Microsoft news," and more!
