Hey, it's Bloodworth.
If you haven't heard, Huber and I are headed back to gamescom this year, and we're looking to do another casual meetup that week in Cologne. It looks like we can do either Thursday Aug 21st or Friday Aug 22nd. Personally, I'm leaning towards Thursday, but let me know what works better for you.
Chances are that like last year, we'll meet outside the cathedral and then walk to one of the many spots nearby, b...

This one's coming at you early because we will be shooting on Tuesday July 8th. It's our Summer Game Preview episode, so that will be the main focus for topics this week, although we'll check in Monday to see if anyone's got something new to chat about from this weekend. Also, heads up, since I'll be getting on a plane shortly after the podcast recording, it will probably be a bit before I get the episode posted on Patreon, bu...

It's time to get your questions in for this week's podcast. This is an oddly quiet week with next to nothing for new releases. So, we'll probably dip into our backlog a bit. I have been chipping away at The Alters, so I'm hoping to at least finish that off and give my final thoughts on the complete package. Here's to hoping Nintendo drops a summer Direct this Thursday, but either way, it's always a good time for questions!

It's time to get your questions in for this week's podcast. We may or may not have some more Death Stranding 2 chat, but either way, you're free to ask away now that our impressions are up. We're also looking to talk about Rematch, and perhaps Lies of P: Overture and some third party Switch 2 games, as well as discussions on the latest trailers for The Blood of Dawnwalker and Blood Message. Plenty of Blood to go around this week.
