Our weekly podcast where we play a video game and then we talk about it! Hoss (one of our hosts) has a weird encyclopedic knowledge of linking six degrees of any video game developer and we like to break down the historical and cultural significance of a classic or modern game and it’s impact on the video game industry.

What would that look like and what would it take to kick this IP up a notch to compete with gaming today?We also discuss:AbsolumResident Evil 9
