Episode description

This week, we did battle with the Overwatch 2 launch (and lost), got lost in the giant Grounded backyard, checked out the closed alpha of The Finals, said a preemptive goodbye to Stadia, stared in bafflement at anime Need for Speed, and took our very last opportunity to speculate about Chris Pratt's Mario voice.
