Tanya DePass joins the crew to discuss Marvel's Avengers, No Straight Roads, and Ubisoft's latest nonsense. Check out Tanya at cypheroftyr.com!

A musical gets a wax-based controversy. A senator refuses the charitable call. Also, Spiritfarer, Fall Guys, and No Straight Roads.

Astronauts are scary. Also we have Fall Guys, Mortal Shell, Rad, Spiritfarer, and all that nonsense between Apple and Epic.

A gigantic robot bollock. Also, Fall Guys, Marvel's Avengers, loads and loads of indie stuff. And Control being stupid about next-gen.

We ponder the hard questions asked of Westworld. Also, we talk about Fall Guys, Frog Fractions 3, and things Conrad Zimmerman played.

Just because someone's feeling queasy that doesn't mean we can't talk about games.

Sometimes we need to remember that we are not royalty in the Regency Crisis. Elsewhere, we discuss the latest horrors of the game industry, as well as Ghost of Tsushima, Paper Mario: Mr. Origami Man (mild spoilers at 54:00-55:00), and something else that I forgot.
