Listen to this week’s episode

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon might have one of the video game-iest ass titles in the history of games, but that doesn't stop it from being an absolute barn-burner of a mecha action game. Join us as we dive into our history with the series, and extol the virtues of the demo discs of yore.

Really good discussion on reviews. I largely disagreed with how hard The Besties was on Starfield, but I could not imagine ever being upset over someone’s perspective on a piece of art. It’s more interesting to me since 90-99% of the time, I align with Griffin (also Kirk from Triple Click) on liking a game or not. It gets me thinking what shapes a difference of opinion in the cases where it’s completely different.
