Hades 2 podcast crossover event!
Into the Aether's Brendon Bigley joins Russ Frushtick!
The Besties went through HELL to record this episode. With Griffin and Justin out, Frushtick and Plante prepared to record with a special guest. But after I (Plante) spilled water all over my recording setup, Frushtick was left to talk about Hades 2 as the sole Besty. Fortunately, he had backup. Into the Aether's Brendon Bigley joined the show for the podcast crossover event of the year!
I know, it’s another week without a proper breakdown. But I promise things will return to normal next week!
This week on The Besties Bonus Patreon: The Resties shared a super fun new Zelda-like that blends in twin-stick shooter combat! Plus, Frusthick shocked Plante with an EXTREMELY NSFW GAME… that’s actually pretty good!

My 2¢ on waiting til full release for hades 2: my interest in a given game usually comes in a single, intense, several-week burst. I loved hades to death and I want to see all of hades 2. My worry is not that it’s not great right now (I’m sure it is), but that whether I like it or not, when the extra level/ending content is complete and the game is in full release, I won’t be interested in it. I want my honeymoon phase with the game to be with the full game; it’s just how my brain works, and as a result I am not a big fan of the early access model in general - though it is what it is.
